Acer has rolled out new hardware under its Predator brand, offering portable gaming across two distinct form factors. The company introduced the Predator Atlas 8 handheld PC featuring Intel's G3 Extreme chip, priced at $1,300 for a 512 GB configuration in the American market or £1,300.

The 869-gram Atlas 8 handheld carries an 8-inch 120 Hz display, 24 GB of LPDDR5x memory, TMR thumbsticks, and Hall effect triggers alongside Windows 11. [1]
For traditional PC gamers, the Helios Neo 16S AI provides a 16-inch 240 Hz OLED screen and a 92 WHr battery within a 4.85-pound frame. Tom’s Hardware found that despite stable thermal metrics and solid frame rates, the notebook struggled with battery longevity against competitors, largely because its display refresh rate remains locked at 240 Hz.
