Acer has dutifully obliged at IFA with its Project DualPlay Mini, a handheld that converts into a mini laptop.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Predator-branded concept is designed to &#8220;move fluidly between gaming and productivity without requiring a separate device for each,&#8221; Acer wrote in a press release. It would theoretically offer the best of PC and handheld console gaming, with a traditional controller setup in its handheld configuration, and a backlit keyboard and mouse option reserved for first-person shooters and strategy games.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image-holder embedded gallery-image-holder credit-image-wrap\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"gallery-image lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" alt=\"Acer Project DualPlay Mini in handheld mode\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/img\/uploads\/embed\/it-RfrVtA-1788274660.jpg\" border=\"0\"\/><span class=\"gallery-image-credit\">Acer<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you want, you can also treat the DualPlay Mini as a regular laptop to get work done, and Acer says you&#8217;ll be able to connect it to an external display. It features the same dual-fan cooling architecture as the brand&#8217;s Predator Atlas 8, and if you look closely at the back panel you&#8217;ll see the words &#8220;Acer 50 since 1976&#8221; embedded, in celebration of Acer&#8217;s 50th anniversary.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Acer doesn&#8217;t offer much in the way of specs (including weight), which isn&#8217;t hugely surprising given the DualPlay Mini is a concept device and may never come to market. But the &#8220;flip-and-swivel design&#8221; does look pretty neat.
