Acer’s first handheld gaming PC is the Nitro Blaze

Without price, it’s hard to say if it’ll compete.

It’s also got a newer Ryzen 7 8840HS chip, albeit with the same Radeon 780M integrated GPU as most other Windows handhelds. But with 24GB of memory and an 80Wh pack, the$800 Asus ROG Ally X is currently the Windows handheld to beat, so I suspect this Acer will need to cost quite a bit less to compete. Acer says it didn’t partner with Microsoft for this one, so I wouldn’t expect this one to roll out with any major UI improvements for Windows handheld gaming PCs.
