​

Color precision is at the heart of the ProDesigner PE320QK G0. With Delta E <1, Calman Verified certification, and coverage of DCI-P3 99% and Adobe RGB 98%, creators can trust the monitor to render the full spectrum of vibrant, accurate colors with a wide color gamut providing precise color representation for every project.

For smooth, lifelike motion in video-intensive workflows, the display offers a 120 Hz refresh rate and an ultra-low 0.03 ms (GTG) response time. Rounding out the professional feature set is the Acer Smart Dial, which allows users to control the monitor from a remote control, enabling adjustment of brightness, contrast, and input without reaching behind the screen. The ProDesigner PE320QK G0 comes with the Creator Hub software that gives creators the ability to freely adjust color space according to their project, pair with the external color calibrator to achieve accurate, true-to-life color, and configure a multi-monitor setup with a variety of split-screen options.

New Predator gaming handheld expands possibilities for mobile gaming, combining new Intel Arc G-Series processors with up to Intel Arc B390 graphics, formidable Predator AeroBlade cooling, stunning visuals, and extensive battery life

• The Predator Atlas 8 is powered by up to the new Intel Arc G3 Extreme processor, delivering breakthrough handheld performance and battery efficiency for serious PC gamers.
• The new platform is available with up to Intel Arc B390 graphics, which combines ray tracing support and Intel X^eSS 3 AI-powered upscaling to deliver smooth gameplay and high-fidelity visuals in handheld power ranges, maximizing usage on up to an 80 Wh battery.
• Predator AeroBlade cooling combines dual-fan airflow, the first metal fan in a handheld for delivering up to a 10 percent^[1] increase in airflow, and Vortex Flow tuning to control thermals and sustain high performance.
• An 8-inch WUXGA 120 Hz touchscreen with Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support delivers smooth, immersive visuals for on-the-go gameplay.
• The device brings the full benefits of Windows 11 gaming experiences, including XBOX Mode, and access to a vast library of games with XBOX Game Pass.

TAIPEI (May 28, 2026) Acer today announced the Predator Atlas 8 (PA08-I51) gaming handheld, broadening the portfolio of high-performance solutions under the Predator brand. The device is powered by up to the new Intel Arc G3 Extreme processor^[2], delivering breakthrough handheld performance and battery efficiency for serious PC gamers to take on the go^[3]. Offering the full Windows 11 experience combined with XBOX Game Pass, the Predator Atlas 8 provides faster access to gaming, system tools, and settings, keeping every session moving with less friction.

Jerry Kao, Chief Operating Officer at Acer, commented: “With the Predator Atlas 8, we are combining the Predator design philosophy with the power of the new Intel Arc G-Series processors to blur the lines between gaming PC and handheld performance. From the Predator AeroBlade cooling system to PredatorSense to the adaptive trigger controls, every element of this handheld is curated to give gamers maximum control over their own experiences, wherever they choose to play.”

Jim Johnson, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Client Computing Group at Intel, remarked: “Handheld gamers want PC-class performance without being tied to a desktop or charger. With Intel Arc G-Series processors and Acer’s Predator Atlas 8, we deliver smooth, high-fidelity gameplay with exceptional battery life in a form factor you can take anywhere. By combining console-like accessibility with innovative technologies like AI-powered XeSS 3 upscaling, we maximize performance and efficiency on the go.”

A New Standard for Handheld Performance

At the heart of the Predator Atlas 8 lies Intel Arc G-Series processors, with a new generation of high-performance graphics built to push smooth gameplay and visual fidelity into handheld power ranges. Up to Intel Arc B390 graphics with support for ray tracing deliver richer visual detail and faster handheld play^[4], while Intel X^eSS 3 technology uses AI-powered upscaling to maintain high frame rates during heavy GPU workloads — reducing stutter and input lag to provide a more consistent gaming experience^[5].

To balance its performance with portability, the Predator Atlas 8 offers up to an 80 Wh battery paired with Intel Endurance Gaming, which intelligently balances frame rate and power draw to allow for longer sessions on the road without interruption.

Predator AeroBlade Cooling

Drawing inspiration from the Predator laptop portfolio, the dual-fan cooling system on the device is designed to keep sustained performance under control and debuts the first metal fan in a handheld^[1]. The precision metal Predator AeroBlade fan features 89 blades at just 0.1 mm of thickness, delivering up to a 10 percent^[1] increase in airflow. Working alongside a second fan made of plastic, Vortex Flow tuning uses angled internal channels to guide air through the chassis more efficiently, allowing hot air to exit faster and the system to stay better controlled when gameplay demands escalate.

Immersive Visuals and Audio

The Predator Atlas 8 features an 8-inch WUXGA touchscreen with a 120 Hz refresh rate, 500 nits of peak brightness, support for VRR, and a 16:10 aspect ratio, ensuring vivid visuals, smooth motion during gameplay, brilliant contrasts, and a wider vertical field of view. Its cover glass is protected by Corning^® Gorilla^® Glass Victus™ with DXC, which offers scratch protection and reduces glare so players can maintain visual clarity in a variety of lighting environments. Touch input supports 10-point multi-touch, enabling responsive and intuitive interaction across the full surface of the display.

The device comes equipped with DTS:X^® Ultra audio, delivered through dual 2-Watt speakers, giving games more width, detail, and presence. When communication matters, dual microphones powered by Acer PurifiedVoice provide AI-assisted noise reduction, ensuring chat comes through with greater clarity even during loud, fast-paced gaming moments.

Premium On-the-Go Gameplay Experiences

The Predator Atlas 8’s connectivity is designed around speed, stability, and scalability. Dual Thunderbolt 4 ports support high-bandwidth docking, display output, and accessory connections, while UHS-II microSD support accommodates fast external storage expansion. Intel Killer Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth^® 5.4 keep the device linked at the latest wireless standards.

To get started right out of the box, the device comes with a subscription to XBOX Game Pass, giving players immediate access to hundreds of titles. Running on Windows 11, Predator Atlas 8 combines the performance optimization of XBOX Mode, familiar system access, and broader PC flexibility into one handheld environment, reducing friction between navigation and play while keeping content discovery, launcher access, and key system tools close at hand.

When the real gameplay starts after opening sequences, the control layout for Predator Atlas 8 is built around customization and ergonomics for extended sessions. Full-size analog sticks deliver intuitive gameplay across any game, while a dual-mode design allows for adjusting trigger feedback based on genre. With this capability, users can change control response on command with a trigger switch: a micro-switch mode provides instant-click response for first-person shooter games, while Hall-effect analog control supports racing games, flight simulators, and other games requiring more range and pressure variation.

Rounding out the experience is access to PredatorSense, an app that has been a cornerstone of Predator gaming laptops and is now available on a handheld for the first time. PredatorSense gives players live system monitoring, performance mode activation, customization of RGB lighting, and access to gameplay settings, and a dedicated PredatorSense button enables fast in-game adjustments.

Availability

The Predator Atlas 8 will be available in North America, EMEA, and Australia from October 2026.

Exact specifications, prices, and availability will vary by region. To learn more about availability, product specifications and prices in specific markets, please contact your nearest Acer office via www.acer.com.
