Angular lines, Transformer-like logo at the back and four red-tinted speaker grilles - just one glance is needed to recognise the Acer Predator 8 as a gaming-oriented tablet.But while gaming laptops exist because they are better than typical notebooks...

Acer Predator 8 – Battery Acer claims the Predator's lithium-polymer 4,420mAh battery can last up to 8.5 hours. In my experience, I found the tablet was able to live up to this promise. For regular use, free of any gaming, the Predator is great. For...

The Android Central recommendation of best tablet still stands. If you can buy an NVIDIA Shield, you should. Aside from the battery life there's nothing really wrong with the Predator 8 should you really want one, but it's tough to recommend you buy...

OK, so here's where we're at so far: crap battery life, average (at best) performance, good storage, awful design, and a decent display for $280. It's a gaming tablet! Two areas where it shouldn't skimp are battery and performance, yet here we are.If...
