Gaming tablets are extremely niche, but Acer is willing to try anything at this point. First unveiled a few months ago, the new Predator 8 tablet is now available to pre-order, and Acer put enough power into the device to justify its $300 price tag, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s worth getting. The design looks like something from Alienware, and it used an Intel processor, so unless you’re REALLY into mobile gaming, I can’t imagine why someone would buy this.
Acer’s new tablet targeting gamers, performance enthusiasts, and fans of beveled edges everywhere is now available for pre-order on Newegg. The Predator 8 is a monster of an Android device with some pretty impressive specs. The Atom x7-Z8700 processor is a 64-bit quad-core CPU chip with Intel’s Gen8 graphics architecture, and all that graphical power is showcased on a gorgeous 8-inch, 1080p display. It’s got 2 gigs of RAM and either 32 or 64GB of internal storage, depending on which version you pick. If you need more, there’s a microSD slot to boot. The physical architecture of the tablet is pretty interesting as well. The lightweight aluminium is formed into a shape that makes the Predator 8 look like it fell out of a sci-fi action movie, and the four magenta parts are front-facing speakers that offer support for virtual surround sound that Acer calls “Predator Quadio”. The Predator 8 employs a technology Acer refers to as TacSense. It’s basically a more intelligent version of a Rumble Pak that provides vibrations for a more immersive gaming experience.
