Ready to drool over some cutting-edge tech?
Here are 10 Acer products from IFA 2024 that deserve a spot on your wishlist!
#1 – Project DualPlay – The Future of Dual-Player Gaming
Acer’s Project DualPlay is the gaming laptop concept we didn’t know we needed. It’s a fresh take on an emerging problem that many gamers have today: traveling with a controller. As more console games are being ported to the PC, the rise of controller support for games on Steam and Epic have risen. What if you could travel with a controller, but it’s hidden as a trackpad?
Think dual-player gaming, but on one laptop.
This beauty comes with detachable wireless controllers and pop-out speakers that literally immerse you in the game. You and a buddy can go head-to-head in Street Fighter or just seamlessly switch between keyboard and controller modes.
Dual-mode gaming just got way cooler!

For those concerned about heat management issues (hello ROG Ally), the layout of the device seems to be more promising with a microSD card slot located on the lower left of the device and the heat vent located in the upper left. There are two USB-C ports for charging and peripherals located top and bottom.
