Acer has unveiled the Predator Atlas 7 – a smaller version of its Predator Atlas 8 Windows 11 handheld gaming PC. Models will be available with Intel Arc G3 and Arc G3 Extreme processors paired with integrated Arc B370 and B390 graphics, respectively.
The device is equipped with a dual-fan cooling system: a metal Predator AeroBlade with 89 blades just 0.1 mm thick, and a plastic one with Vortex Flow technology, which uses internal case channels for more efficient hot air dissipation.
The Predator Atlas 7 has a battery capacity of up to 80 Wh, allowing for long gaming sessions on the go without interruptions (a configuration with a 60 Wh battery is also expected).

The new device is designed for more intuitive control. Contoured grips, an enlarged palm rest area, recessed keys, and a non-slip texture help players' hands maintain a stable position for more precise input and better control during long sessions.
The joysticks come with a Tunnel Magnetoresistance (TMR) option for greater accuracy, ease of use, and drift protection with zero dead zones, while Hall effect analog triggers support genres requiring a greater range of motion and pressure sensitivity.
The device also offers a built-in fingerprint scanner on the power button for quick and secure login via Windows Hello. The Predator Atlas 7 features a 7-inch FHD touchscreen with a 120 Hz refresh rate, 500 nits peak brightness, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support, and a 16:9 aspect ratio.
The screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus with DXC coating for scratch resistance and reduced glare, and a tempered glass screen protector is included in the package. Touch input supports 10-point multi-touch for responsive and intuitive interaction across the entire display surface.
The device is equipped with two Thunderbolt 4 ports for high-speed connectivity to docking stations, display output, and accessory connection, while microSD UHS-II support provides fast external memory expansion. Intel Killer Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 modules keep the device connected with the latest wireless standards.
For audio, the device offers DTS:X Ultra technology through two 2-watt speakers, giving games greater depth, detail, and immersion. Dual microphones powered by Acer PurifiedVoice technology provide AI-powered noise cancellation.
The Atlas 7 will offer up to 24 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and a 1 TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 SSD. The device dimensions are 292 × 112.7–123 × 28.5–48.4 mm. Weight: less than 750 g with an 80 Wh battery, less than 700 g with a 60 Wh battery. The Predator Atlas 7 will be released in North America in Q4 2026, and in the EMEA region in November 2026.
