It also supports variable refresh rate (VRR), 10-point multitouch and uses Gorilla Glass Victus with a DXC surface treatment.
The handheld uses two fans, one Predator AeroBlade metal fan and one plastic fan, alongside Acer’s Vortex Flow system. It has a battery capacity of up to 80 Wh and weighs under 750 grams with the 80 Wh battery. The 60 Wh version weighs under 700 grams.
