Kosta Andreadis | Sep 5, 2024 2:34 AM CDT

Acer debuted a very cool concept at the IFA conference in Germany, the Acer Project DualPlay gaming laptop. As the images showcase, the large touchpad doubles as a game controller that pops out - where, after flipping it around, you've got a traditional gamepad. Another interesting feature is that it includes 5-watt pop-out speakers on either side of the laptop to create a more immersive audio experience.

"This Predator concept embraces the latest gaming trends, unleashing a new dimension of versatile and shared PC gaming experiences that converge in one powerful device," Acer writes in the press release.

But, the AI-powered Copilot+ functionality is next to useless on AI processors right now, but with the free Windows update in November, we'll get support for AMD's new Ryzen AI 300 series "Strix Point" processors and some AI functionality at last with Copilot+ support.
