Acer Predator will be providing a fully immersive experience for gamers at its stand this year. With partners like Intel, Goliath Gaming, and ACGL, there’s no doubt the stand will be packed with top-notch tech and quality entertainment.
What to expect from Acer Predator at rAge 2022
One of the major attractions at the stand this year is Predator’s brand-new 3D gaming laptop, the Predator Helios 300 Spatiallabs Edition. While Predator will have an assortment of tech on display, this one is sure to steal the show.
Gamers will get to experience the wonders of stereoscopic 3D gaming on a crystal clear 15.6 inch display. The Helios 300 Spatiallabs Edition comes kitted with two stereo cameras which are fitted with image sensors that constantly track the position and movement of your eyes and head for optimum game interaction. The powerful gaming laptop also features GeForce RTX 3080 graphics and a 12th Gen Intel Core i9 Processor, as well as next-gen shading and driver tech that enable games to be rendered in true-to-life depth. Gamers won’t want to miss a chance to play around with this immersive gaming marvel, which isn’t available in South Africa yet.
The Predator Ultimate Gamer challenge
Aside from trying out the Helios 300 3D gaming laptop, gamers also stand a chance to win the ultimate gaming setup worth R130 000. There are two ways to get to the finals and win this epic prize.
To qualify at rAge, contestants must attend the expo on 10 December and visit the Acer Predator stand, where they will compete in a variety of short-form gaming competitions on Predator laptops.
