Acer Predator made a strong showing at Computex 2026 with three new gaming products targeting different segments. The Acer Predator Atlas handheld leads the pack, featuring Intel's new Arc G3 Extreme processor, 24 GB of LPDDR5X memory, and a 1920 x 1200 @ 120 Hz touchscreen display. Running Windows 11 Home with the custom PredatorSense interface, this device aims to compete with Steam Deck and other portable gaming PCs.

The Helios 18 AI notebook brings desktop-level performance to the enthusiast market. Powered by Intel's Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor and paired with NVIDIA's RTX 5090 Laptop GPU, it sports a Mini LED display pushing 3840 x 2400 resolution at 1000 nits brightness. Acer's AeroBlade 3D cooling system and MagKey 4.0 mechanical switches round out the premium package.

For desktop gamers, the XB273K 3D monitor offers a 27-inch 4K IPS panel with an integrated 3D viewer that converts 2D content. With 180 Hz refresh rate and 0.5 ms response time, it supports both AMD FreeSync Premium and NVIDIA G-SYNC. These releases position Acer as a serious contender in the high-performance gaming hardware market.

Acer's Computex 2026 lineup demonstrates the company's commitment to pushing gaming hardware boundaries across form factors. The handheld represents Acer's entry into an increasingly competitive portable gaming space, while the RTX 5090-equipped laptop targets hardcore enthusiasts willing to pay premium prices for maximum performance.
