It’s been several months since Acer unveiled its Predator Atlas 8 gaming handheld , but now we finally know that it’s coming to the US, and how much it’ll cost. The Intel Arc G3 Extreme variant — the more powerful of the two models announced in May — will be available exclusively at Best Buy on November 1st, priced at $1,299.99.
For that, the Atlas 8 provides Arc B390 graphics with 12 Xe3 GPU cores, paired with 24GB of LPDDR5x RAM. The 8-inch display runs at 120Hz, and the device comes equipped with dual-mode triggers, TMR joysticks, and the ability to be used for both handheld or docked setups. It runs Windows 11 and can be used with Xbox Game Pass, so there’s no shortage of supported games you can play.
While Acer has announced a bunch of handheld gaming devices under its Predator and Nitro series, this is the first to receive an official US launch. It’s the same price as the Xbox Ally X20 and is seemingly already proving popular, given the preorders that Best Buy launched last week are already sold out. Acer said online orders will open again on November 1st alongside in-store availability.
