I tried Acer’s crazy laptop with a built-in controller and… I didn’t hate it
Acer essentially built a controller into a laptop touchpad and made it detachable. Genius or insane?

Intel and Qualcomm made some big announcements at IFA 2024, and PC makers like Lenovo, ASUS, and Acer have followed suit with laptop models built around the new chips. Most of these are quite iterative to put it mildly, though it’s always nice to see new technology make its way down to lower cost tiers.
Luckily, it wasn’t all just boring, safe iteration. Acer came up with a wild concept called Project DualPlay, and while I was initially skeptical, I did come around to it after checking it out.
