Project DualPlay Mini

The 8-inch Project DualPlay Mini is a conceptual device from the Predator brand. The concept is built around dual utility- functioning both as a gaming handheld and as a mobile productivity station.

For gaming, it supports two distinct control configurations. A built-in backlit physical keyboard enables the traditional laptop mode for first-person shooter games, while a gaming handheld mode supports console-like experiences for other games. For productivity, the device operates as a mobile work device capable of connecting to an external screen, allowing users to stay productive.

It is defined by a distinctive flip-and-swivel design that allows it to convert between handheld and mini-laptop modes. To mark Acer’s 50^th anniversary, the back cover features the words ‘Acer 50 since 1976’ embedded in Morse Code. The device is powered by Intel and also integrates the same dual-fan cooling architecture as the Predator Atlas 8, except the metal fan offers thinner blades.
