A new, compact tablet designed for gamers—part of a product line known globally as Acer Nitro—has just hit the market. Are its mid-range specifications worth a look?
Acer has unveiled several tablets this year, including the notably large 14.2-inch Acer Iconia Duo S14. The new Acer Shadow Knight G710 takes a different approach, offering similar mid-range specs in a much more compact form factor. It features an 8.8-inch LCD display with a resolution of 3008 x 1880 pixels and a 16:10 aspect ratio, boasting a 144Hz refresh rate—which can reach up to 165Hz in select games.
The Acer Shadow Knight G710 is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 8300 processor, paired with up to 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 512 GB of UFS 4.0 internal storage. On the plus side, it includes 5G mobile connectivity; however, potential drawbacks include an operating system that is not the latest version (Android 15) and a relatively modest 6300 mAh battery, which supports 33W charging. For photography and video calls, the device is equipped with standard tablet-grade cameras: a 13 MP rear sensor and an 8 MP front-facing sensor. The entire unit weighs 335 g and measures less than 7 mm in thickness.
The Acer Shadow Knight G710 also features two USB-C ports and stereo speakers.It is not yet known whether the Acer Shadow Knight G710 will be released globally. For now, it is available for purchase in China, offered in Red Eye Silver and Shadow Gray color options, and in two memory configurations at the following prices:
- 8+256 GB – 4,099 yuan (approximately $615 / €550)
- 12+512 GB – 4,999 yuan (approximately $750 / €670)
