Acer has finally joined the handheld PC gaming market with its first offering, the Acer Nitro Blaze 7.
The company immediately wants to impress by equipping the Acer Nitro Blaze 7 with an AMD Ryzen 8840HS laptop processor, unlike the AMD Z1 Extreme chip found on the ROG Ally X and Legion Go.
It is joined by a Radeon 780M GPU, 16GB of LPDDRTx RAM, and up to 2TB of M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 Gen 4 SSD storage for fast loading times on triple-A games.
There’s a decent 7-inch FHD touchscreen on front, with a high 144Hz refresh rate and AMD FreeSync Premium. A bunch of controls on each side. The device is predominantly black, with a couple of red accents found on the joysticks and more for a gamer-y appeal.
The interface features the brand’s Acer Game Space for easy navigation. PC Game Pass is also supported.
Acer also boasts its high-speed WiFi 6E connectivity, and the device’s lightweight design that’s only 670g.
Sadly, official pricing and availability details for the Acer Nitro Blaze 7 are yet to be revealed, so stay tuned for that.
