It is raining gaming handhelds currently. Acer have now introduced the New Nitro Blaze 8 and Nitro Blaze 11. Do not count on SteamOS / Linux on them although, sadly they’re delivery with Home windows 11. By no means say by no means although, with Valve increasing SteamOS maybe we might even see Acer bounce on board in future too.

This isn’t their first although, with the Nitro Blaze 7 being announced last year. Appears they noticed sufficient curiosity to maintain going, which is sweet to see for extra competitors.

The Acer Nitro Blaze 8 may have a 8.8″ WQXGA contact panel with a decision of 2560 x 1600 and 144Hz refresh charge, together with a AMD Ryzen 7 8840HS processor / AMD Radeon 780M graphics. For storage you get “as much as” 2TB NVMe SSD and 16GB LPDDR5X reminiscence at 7500MT/s. It has USB4, Kind-C, and USB 3.2 ports, plus Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3.

Hilariously although, they’re actually pushing what’s classed as handheld and transportable with the Acer Nitro Blaze 11. This has a ten.95″ WQXGA touchscreen with a 2560 x 1600 decision, 120Hz refresh charge. It is a large one and appears considerably ridiculous to carry.

As large because the Nitro 11 is, it might nonetheless make fairly a pleasant gaming unit once you’re travelling round in case you have house to place the display screen down on one thing. I can not think about making an attempt to carry that up for lengthy. Not a fan of the traces they’ve placed on the controllers both, seems a bit foolish actually. However I suppose they need to attempt to stand out and attraction to “the players” someway huh.
