Many people, instead of buying a gaming PC, opt for a laptop for space reasons, even if it offers less. performance. In the market we can find a large number of gaming laptop manufacturers, all cut from the same cloth, without offering anything extraordinary to tip the scales at the time of the purchase decision.
Acer is one of these manufacturers, a manufacturer that has presented a very original laptop model called Double game. In fact, it is a project, so it is not yet known whether it will reach the market or whether it will finally end up in a drawer.
Users who buy a laptop for gaming usually buy a keyboard external or use an independent control controller to play, because the laptop’s keyboard leaves much to be desired in this regard. The idea of Acer’s DualPlay project is to unify both the laptop and a smartphone in one device. control buttonto avoid wearing it alone, especially when we see each other here and there.

But of course, by integrating a space to store the remote control, this implies reducing the space available to offer a good refrigeration system. Furthermore, we cannot forget batterythe battery size which can also be affected by this design.
If the battery of gaming laptops is already small, that of this model, we can not imagine all that it will be able to offer. As we can see in the images attached to this article, the controller is stored in the area where the touchpad. In fact, the touchpad is located between the two parts that make up the controller.
Additionally, these controls can be separated so that two people can play at the same time, a very similar operation to that offered by the Nintendo Switch. The controller is attached to the entire device with magnets, so there is no risk of it accidentally coming loose if the device moves and ends up, for example, leaving a mark on the screen.
To provide a greater sense of immersion, Acer’s DualPlay project includes two speakers, one on each side, speakers that can extract and it offers a power of 5w. Acer has not revealed what hardware is inside this device.
In fact, first of all, it will be necessary to find a gap in the market, a gap that does not currently exist. It is likely that in the coming months Acer will consider the possibility of this project based on the feedback it receives from the community after the announcement of this project, provided that the price is not crazy.
Although the idea doesn’t seem bad, in reality, who takes their laptop out of the house to play? And if so, is it worth paying more because it includes a remote control that can be stored anywhere in the backpack? We see little future for this project.
