I should have seen the Acer Nitro Blaze 11 coming. When I went hands-on with the Acer Nitro Blaze 7, I spoke about how the use of AMD Ryzen 7 8840HS was an interesting choice because the expectation was for a laptop chip to be used in bigger devices. Turns out the company took that literally.
And be honest — you laughed, just like I chuckled at the monstrous size of this handheld in the press shots. It looks like someone just took this Steam Deck competitor and enlarged it in Photoshop. But it is indeed real, and in many ways, bigger is indeed better.
