Acer Nitro Blaze 7 Handheld Gaming PC Announcement

[cageymaru]

Acer has announced the debut of the Nitro Blaze 7; its first handheld gaming PC running Windows 11. The device will undoubtedly be compared to the Steam Deck and other handhelds recently released onto the market in the past couple of years. Acer is touting its AI functionality and top tier performance from the AMD Ryzen™ 7 8840HS processor featuring 780M graphics, with Ryzen AI. The (1920x1080) 7-inch Full HD (FHD) IPS display utilizes a touch interface and a killer 144Hz refresh rate. Of note is the storage capacity that features up to 2 TB of M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD. The system has 16 GB LPDDR5x memory at 7500 MT/s for higher data transfer rates and bandwidth. More advanced features of the product include support for Wi-Fi 6E, USB4® (Type-C) with fast charging, and a MicroSD card reader to expand storage capacity.

Exact specifications, prices, and availability will vary by region.

I heard elsewhere that it has Freesync premium which should make a bigger difference than just a regular 144Hz screen. I don't even really know if my Ally hits 144 FPS on most of the things I play.

It does according to the press release.

IMO, should had at least 24GB of RAM, 16 for the system, 8 for the GPU since it's a Windows based PC.
