Acer's Predator Atlas 7 Puts Intel Arc Graphics Into a 7-Inch Handheld at IFA

Acer revealed the Predator Atlas 7 at IFA Berlin, a 7-inch Windows gaming handheld built on Intel's new Arc G3 and Arc G3 Extreme chips instead of the AMD parts most rivals use. It runs a 1080p 120Hz screen with variable refresh, up to 24GB of RAM, up to 1TB of storage, and two Thunderbolt 4 ports so it can dock to a monitor. Acer has not set a price yet, with the launch window listed as Q4 2026 in North America and November in Europe.
