Forget its powerful Intel innards, Acer's new Predator Atlas 8 is a great handheld for a totally different reason

A front-on look at the Acer Predator Atlas 8 .

I'm at Computex this week trying all sorts of new gaming hardware, and one of the first to grab the headlines has been Acer's reimagined handheld PC, the Predator Atlas 8. People are right to be excited about this new best gaming handheld contender. Not only does it pack in some really powerful Intel innards inside it that stand apart from the standard AMD chips used in portable PCs, but it's yet another option in a blossoming handheld market.

I've had the chance to go hands-on with it though, and as the resident PC controller expert here at GamesRadar+, I was taken by it for totally different reasons than its impressive specs. For me, when it comes to handheld gaming, comfort is king. If you can translate the experience of actually holding a comfortable gamepad in your hand to an on-the-go device, it's going to unlock a whole new level of enjoyment and usability.
