Acer and Intel showcased the Predator Atlas 8 gaming handheld, featuring Intel Arc G3 APUs, at Computex in June 2026. Initial pricing speculation suggested it wouldn't be cheap, and recent updates to Acer's UK product page confirm this, with no models expected under $1,000.

The cheapest Acer Predator Atlas 8 variant is listed at £999.99, converting to approximately $1,346, though US pricing may be lower. The handheld is slated for an "this autumn" release, pointing to a September-December window.

Based on regional pricing discrepancies observed with other Acer products, the US base model, powered by the Intel Arc G3 CPU with an Arc B370 i GPU, 16 GB RAM, and 512 GB storage, could range from $1,100 to $1,200.

Higher configurations include a 24 GB RAM version for £1,099.99 ($1,480 converted). Models with the full-fat Intel Arc G3 Extreme CPU (Arc B390 i GPU) start at £1,299.99 ($1,749) for 16 GB RAM, and £1,499.99 ($2,019) for 32 GB RAM.
