Although this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES) officially starts tomorrow, news is already trickling in. One of them is from Acer, which has announced the Acer Nitro Blaze series of handheld gaming PCs.
There are three confirmed models available so far: Nitro Blaze 7, Nitro Blaze 8, and Nitro Blaze 11. For your information, the model number mostly refers to the size of the device, as the hardware specs are largely similar. All three feature the AMD Ryzen 7 8840HS processor, an integrated AMD Radeon 780M GPU, and 16GB of LPDDR5X SDRAM. Exact storage capacities haven't been confirmed, but all three can support up to 2TB of storage.

As mentioned, the difference is in the screen size. The Nitro Blaze 7 sports a 7-inch Full HD IPS display with a 144Hz refresh rate, 7ms response time, and 100% sRGB colour gamut. In the middle of the pack, the Nitro Blaze 8 has a larger 8.8-inch WQXGA (2560x1600 resolution) IPS display with a 97% DCI-P3 colour gamut. Lastly, the Nitro Blaze 11 features a large 10.95-inch WQXGA display with a lower 120Hz refresh rate. In terms of battery capacity, the Nitro Blaze 8 and 11 have a 55Wh battery, but the Nitro Blaze 7 has a smaller 50.04Wh battery.
Acer hasn't announced the prices and availability, but the Nitro Blaze series is expected to launch in Q2 2025.
