The gaming laptop market is changing fast as Acer introduces its latest Acer Introduces DualPlay laptop, which is an innovation, the “DualPlay” laptop, lets a wireless controller replace touchpad like mouse as a new mechanism of interaction. This engineering curiosity happened at IFA Berlin that attracts gaming aficionados giving its feature of being portable and shareable for everyone. Thus, users could play games without dealing with gamepad inconvenience.
At first sight, the DualPlay looks more like a Nintendo Switch Joy-Con grip, just having a large rectangular track alternate to the joysticks. Consequently, the inventor has proposed to ensure that this touchpad-controller is electrically fastened with the help of the electromagnetic mechanism that gets locked into place, at the same time a simple glovelike unclasping of a certain releasing button flips out the device. thereby, the laptop is transformed into a gaming machine in a fraction of a second.
The standout point is the flexibility of carrying on the two-player gaming addon. The DualPlay has a split mechanism that turns a single controller into two, the DualPlay controller splits into two completely independent joysticks, enabling the player to join the fun, side by side with another companion. As a result, the fellow can even share a mutual multi-user experience with other laptop users by utilizing their own keyboard or a mouse.
Moreover, the new feature of the DualPlay laptop, which is the two separate front speakers that pop out automatically when the controller is removed, boosts the full gaming effect. The DualPlay 5-watt speakers that are integrated into the design give the user a chance to feel the more powerful and atmospheric sound of the laptop in the gaming mode.
Where beauty is concerned the laptop stops at nothing. It has RGB lights packing it up, the LED strip, which wraps around the edges, the glowing accents on the deck, and the keyboard RGB-lit keys, creating a flashy gaming setup that is for sure to bring attention.
Nonetheless, there are still numerous inquiries that have not been answered about the DualPlay laptop. Acer has not mentioned the duration of the battery, the cable options for the controller, the weight of the laptop, or the capabilities of the power source. It is a concept device, so there is no definite release date or price, and there is a real possibility that it will never be put on the market.
Despite the fun of having a built-in detachable controller, the question may arise among players if it is truly necessary, particularly when there are such affordable third-party controllers like the Xbox gamepad that already are providing a great experience. Nevertheless, if Acer goes on to develop this model, it would be the first-hand access for the customers to have their portable gaming PCs the way they want them to.
