Acer unveils Nitro Blaze 11 with largest screen for gaming handhelds at CES 2025

Acer introduced the Nitro Blaze 11 at CES 2025, featuring an 11-inch screen, the largest for a gaming handheld. Priced at $1,099, it offers a 144Hz display with 2560 x 1600 resolution, but has a disappointing battery capacity of 55Wh. The device includes an AMD Ryzen 7 8840HS processor, 16GB of RAM, and up to 2TB of storage. It weighs 1050g and has detachable controllers, though they may be tricky to use. The Nitro Blaze 11 performed well during a demo, running Forza Horizon 5 smoothly. Despite its impressive display and comfort, concerns remain about battery life and RAM. A full review is needed to assess its overall performance and value in the handheld market.
