In a surprising move, Acer has joined the PC gaming handheld console race by introducing its newest Nitro Blaze 7. This marks the company's first-gen handheld AI gaming PC which features AMD Ryzen hardware. At the moment, there is no news about a local launch but here's everything you need to know about the tech specs.
Getting into the specifics, the new Nitro Blaze 7 features an AMD Ryzen 7 8840HS processor that boasts up to 39 total AI TOPS and Ryzen AI technology. Leveraging AMD Radeon 780M graphics and Radeon Super Resolution, its 7-inch FHD IPS touch display offers a 144Hz refresh rate, 100% sRGB coverage, and AMD FreeSync Premium.
Running on Windows 11, the Nitro Blaze 7 also has ample memory, providing up to 2TB of M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD storage and 16 GB LPDDR5x memory at 7500 MT/s. Acer integrated its own Game Space feature, which allows gamers to access their favourite installed games quickly. It is also fully compatible with mainstream gaming platforms and includes 3 months of PC Game Pass.
For high-speed connectivity, the Nitro gaming handheld supports Wi-Fi 6E and incorporates various ports for device and accessory pairing including USB4 (Type-C) with fast charging, and a MicroSD card reader to expand storage capacity. In terms of design, it has all the same buttons and joysticks layout, alongside two big circular vent grills at the back for air circulation.
Exact specifications, prices, and availability will vary by region. Since PC gaming handheld consoles are popular here in Malaysia, we expect Acer Malaysia to make an official Nitro Blaze 7 launching announcement this year.
