The Acer Nitro Blaze 11 was just unveiled and it packs features that makes it stand out among the crown of gaming handhelds. Here's why.

The Acer Nitro V AI gaming laptop line features up to the new AMD Ryzen™ AI 7 350 processor, powered by an NPU performing up to 50 AI TOPS and supports the latest AI features and applications.

Acer’s Nitro Blaze 8, Blaze 11 have larger screens than the handheld competition, but similar AMD-based CPU and graphics. The Blaze also has removable controllers.

The new Nitro Mobile Gaming Controller enhances the mobile gaming experience by enabling users to game anywhere and anytime with its foldable design. It supports fast charging to allow uninterrupted gaming sessions while powering mobile devices quickly.

The Acer Nitro Blaze 8 and Nitro Blaze 11 delivers rapid gameplay and responsiveness, powered by AMD Ryzen ™ 8040 Series processors with up to 39 total AI TOPS, up to 2 TB of storage, and 16 GB LPDDR5x memory.
