A new teaser trailer from Predator Gaming on X points to the brand launching new gaming PCs, laptops, and potentially a gaming handheld.
Acer’s Predator Gaming X account has just launched a number of teaser trailers for what seems to be a brand new range of gaming arrivals – including what looks like a new gaming Prebuilt PC, a Predator gaming laptop, and something a little spicier too.
The obvious arrivals look set to be a new gaming PC and a new Predator gaming laptop. However, if you take a closer look at the more recent video upload, you’ll see something behind the silhouette that strongly resembles a gaming handheld.
Acer could be on verge of launching new gaming handheld console
If you look at the image above, you can clearly see a laptop in the centre of the screen. To the left of that, however, lies something a little more bespoke – a square device that doesn’t resemble a keyboard, headset, mouse, or controller.
The only reasonable suggestion for this is a new gaming handheld console. And with the market more popular than ever, it would seem well-timed to bring a new arrival to the table – especially with Intel’s Lunar Lake launching around the same time.
With that in mind, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Acer were to launch a new gaming handheld console right now, especially when you factor in how explosive the market has been in 2024. It seems everyone is vowing for the Steam Deck’s crown, with ZOTAC, ASUS, and Lenovo all offering up exciting new options this year.
According to the X post, we’ll have to wait until tomorrow to find out exactly what’s in store, with the Predator Gaming post stating:
Ready for a beast like no other, engineered to dominate all realms? Press play on 4.9.2024. #NextAtAcer #IFA2024 #AiGaming
Predator Gaming X
What does look certain, however, is a new Predator gaming laptop and Predator gaming prebuilt PC – with the latter being teased on the 2nd of September, 2024, via a similar X post.
This all comes off the back of another Acer announcement where the brand confirmed it would be attending this year’s IFA event in Berlin – with a few sneak peeks of AI-related products that will be unveiled on the same day. This range looks set to be branded as “human Intelligence” and revolves heavily around AI products.
All being said, we don’t have to wait too long to find out exactly what Acer has in store, with the brand’s keynote officially going ahead on the 4th of September, 2024. More over, with Intel officially launching its Lunar Lake processor lineup around the same time, we’ll likely see the majority of the new arrivals feature Intel’s latest offerings.
