• The Acer Nitro Blaze 11 and Acer Nitro Blaze 8 are two new handheld gaming devices.
• With a 10.95-inch screen, the Nitro 11 will be one of the largest handhelds on the market.
• The handhelds will be available in the US starting in Q2 2025 at $899.99 onwards.

Just about every gaming-focused brand is releasing gaming handhelds nowadays, but Acer has mostly flown under the radar. The Acer Nitro Blaze 7 failed to make a splash when it launched in late 2024, but the company has just announced two new devices that are sure to turn a few heads.

Starting with the basics, both Windows handhelds are powered by AMD Ryzen 7 8840HS processors and AMD Radeon 780M graphics, with up to 16GB of RAM and 2TB of storage. That’s a fairly capable laptop chipset and the same one that powered the Nitro Blaze 7.
