Big gaming performance is getting a smaller form factor as Acer adds a 7-inch model to its Predator handheld lineup.

Following the Predator Atlas 8 introduced at Computex 2026, the Acer Predator Atlas 7 (PA07-I51) is powered by up to an Intel Arc G3 Extreme processor and up to Intel Arc B390 graphics. Acer says the handheld is designed for mobile-first gamers seeking high-performance gaming in a more portable package, with Xbox Game Pass support providing access to hundreds of titles.

The device features a 7-inch FHD touchscreen with a 120Hz refresh rate, 500 nits peak brightness, variable refresh rate support, and a 16:9 aspect ratio. Corning Gorilla Glass Victus with DXC surface treatment provides added scratch resistance and glare reduction.

For sustained performance, the Atlas 7 uses a dual-fan cooling system combining a 89-blade Predator AeroBlade metal fan with a secondary plastic fan. Acer says the AeroBlade design can deliver up to 10% more airflow, while Vortex Flow tuning helps direct hot air out of the chassis.

The handheld also packs up to an 80Wh battery and offers contoured grips, an enlarged palm rest, recessed keys, and anti-slip textures for improved comfort. Optional tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) joysticks are designed for precision and anti-drift performance, while Hall-effect analog triggers provide greater control over input.

Connectivity includes two Thunderbolt 4 ports, UHS-II microSD support, Intel Killer Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.4. The PredatorSense app provides access to performance modes, system monitoring, RGB lighting, and gaming settings.

The Atlas 7 also features dual 2-watt speakers with DTS Ultra, dual microphones with Acer PurifiedVoice, and a fingerprint reader integrated into the power button for Windows Hello.

The Predator Atlas 7 will be available in North America from Q4 2026 and in EMEA from November 2026. Acer has yet to announce pricing or Philippine availability.
