Acer Predator at Computex 2026: Atlas Handheld, Helios 18 AI, XB273K 3D Monitor

At Computex 2026, we went hands-on with the latest gaming gear at the dedicated booth of Acer Predator. The star attraction is the new Acer Predator Atlas gaming handheld powered by the Intel Arc G3 Extreme processor, along with 24 GB of LPDDR5X memory and 1 TB NVMe storage. Perhaps its most striking feature is its 16:10 aspect-ratio, 1920 x 1200 @ 120 Hz touchscreen. It comes with the PredatorSense custom interface that runs on top of Windows 11 Home. It lets you control all the hardware features of the Predator Atlas, as well as serves as a game organizer.

The Acer Predator Helios 18 AI is the company’s enthusiast-segment gaming notebook powered by the Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus “Arrow Lake Refresh” processor (8P+16E), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU, and a stunning display with 16:10 aspect-ratio, a Mini LED WQUXGA (3840 x 2400 pixels) panel with 1000 nits Calman-verified display. The cooling system uses Acer’s AeroBlade 3D fans. The keyboard uses MagKey 4.0 low-profile mechanical switches.

The Acer Predator XB273K 3D is a 27-inch 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160 pixels) gaming monitor based on an IPS LCD panel with an in-built 3D viewer, which converts 2D images to 3D. The display offers 180 Hz refresh-rate, 0.5 ms response time, and support for AMD FreeSync Premium, along with NVIDIA G-SYNC (compatibility).
