With the Predator 8 ($299; 32GB), Acer is endeavoring to convey some gaming ability to Android tablets. The Predator 8 conveys strong execution, a sharp display, and immersive haptic criticism that truly helps place you in the game. All things considered, the tablet experiences short battery life, and additionally a greater, programming related issue: Compared with Apple's iOS, Android isn't the best biological system for tablet games. Yet, in the event that you like the games that Android brings to the table, the Acer Predator 8 is a decent tablet for gamers that won't use up every last cent.
Plan and Features
As its name infers, the Predator 8 is a 8 inch tablet. It feels truly muscular, estimating in at 8.6 by 5.0 by 0.3 inches (HWD) and 12 ounces, which is somewhat bigger and heavier than the Asus ZenPad S 8.0 (8 by 5.3 by 0.3 inches, 11 ounces). Along the correct side you'll discover Power and Volume catches, while the left edge is home to a microSD opening. On top is a SlimPort good miniaturized scale USB port for charging and associating with perfect gadgets.
Consistent with Acer's mark Predator look, the accents on the tablet are metallic silver and red. It's produced using aluminum that, while overwhelming, feels extremely tough; I didn't take a stab at dropping the tablet on the floor, however it has an inclination that it would hold up fine on the off chance that I did. The body isn't exactly uniformly rectangular all around, as four speakers (instead of only two on most tablets) bulge out from the corners to give virtual encompass sound; they additionally give the tablet somewhat of an advanced look (more on these beneath). There are likewise plastic grasps on the back where your hands normally rest, on either side of an extensive, silver Predator logo.
The front of the tablet is home to a 8 inch 1,920 by 1,200 pixel IPS LCD, which makes for a fresh 283 pixels for each inch. The screen is splendid and beautiful, however not exactly as lively as the super soaked AMOLED show on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0. In any case, it's bounty splendid and sharp, and useful for gaming.
One of the Predator 8's best highlights is haptic input. Haptic criticism is fundamentally a vibration engine that responds to what you're seeing on the screen. On the preinsalled Asphalt 8: Airborne, it has a colossal effect. When you drive on soil, you feel an unobtrusive thunder. When you wipe out, it's a significantly greater stun. You surely won't get that with an iPad scaled down 4. Diversions should be enhanced keeping in mind the end goal to utilize the element. Google Play has an area for haptic input empowered Games You Can Feel, however at the present time, that rundown is just home to 13 titles.
The virtual encompass speakers are another high point. On account of four separate forward looking channels (instead of the maybe a couple back or base terminating on most tablets), sound is full and noisy, which makes for all the more energizing gameplay. They're likewise extraordinary for watching motion pictures and TV. Indeed, even the Galaxy Tab S2 sounds empty and thin in correlation.
Programming and Performance
The Predator runs a stock adaptation of Android 5.1 Lollipop, so in case you're as of now an Android client, you know precisely what you're getting. Out of the crate, the 32GB tablet has 21.6GB of accessible stockpiling, which you can without much of a stretch grow through the microSD opening. There are various preinstalled recreations, similar to the previously mentioned Asphalt 8 and also Clash of Kings, alongside applications like Dropbox. Acer incorporates a touch of bloatware, similar to Acer Caring (a diagnostics application) and Acer Suggests (an application that causes you find other tablet advanced applications), yet they can be uninstalled to take you back to a stock Android encounter.
All things considered, you should remember that Android isn't precisely an asylum for tablet amusements. Truly, there are a lot of tablet improved diversions accessible, however regardless you'll experience recreations implied for littler telephone screens that are basically scaled up to tablet measure, so this doesn't make for ideal visuals. In case you're a devoted tablet gamer, Apple's iOS remains the best biological system for the most recent recreations (prevalent titles like Dark Sky and Infinity Blade III are as of now just accessible on iOS), regardless of whether the iPad isn't precisely a gaming focused tablet. It's somewhat of a Catch-22.
The tablet is controlled by a quad center Intel Atom x7-Z8700 processor that checks in at 1.6GHz, with 2GB of RAM. It scored a noteworthy 73,020 on the AnTuTu benchmark, which tests general execution. This is more grounded than the Galaxy Tab S2 (52,137) and the Asus ZenPad S 8.0 (45,891), however due to a limited extent to the Predator's lower screen determination; the other two tablets need to render designs at 2,048 by 1,536.

Amusement execution was to a great degree smooth in testing. The designs serious Asphalt 8: Airborne was liquid, and the visuals extremely pop on account of the incorporated Intel illustrations chip. I played a tad of Hello Kitty Café to take a break from the force of Asphalt, and as you can envision, gameplay was okay.
The Predator 8 has two cameras: The 5 megapixel raise confronting camera takes a couple of moments to bolt center, and shots are by and large entirely grainy. The 2MP forward looking camera is adequate for video calls, very little else. All things considered, you're likely not purchasing this tablet, or any tablet so far as that is concerned, for its cameras.
The greatest thump against the Predator 8 is its battery life. The 4,420mAh battery just kept going 2 hours and 40 minutes in our once-over test, which streams full screen video over Wi-Fi. That is well underneath the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 (5 hours and 33 minutes), and even spending tablets like the Amazon Fire (6 hours and 5 minutes). You'll have to ensure you have the included charging rope convenient for expanded gaming sessions.
Conclusions
The Acer Predator 8 is a unique slate tablet with a design and specs catered specifically toward gamers. It has a good screen and smooth performance, while features like haptic feedback and quad speakers definitely help to enhance gameplay. That said, diehard gamers will find newer and higher quality titles for the iPad mini. If you're looking to stick with Android, the Asus ZenPad S gets you a sharper display and slightly better battery life for the same price. The Galaxy Tab S2 is a more expensive option, but gets you top-notch hardware and one of the best tablet screens available. And while we haven't tested it yet, the Nvidia Shield K1 looks to be a solid bet, with gaming-geared hardware for $100 less than the Predator 8.
