A few months ago, Acer presented the Acer Nitro Blaze 7a handheld console that we haven't heard any more about its availability on the market, which may imply that this project was abandoned by the company after revealing that it was actually a rebranding and not a 'a console designed and manufactured by Acer.
Acer's new proposal for the portable console segment is the Nitro Blaze 11a portable console with a completely different design from what we know until now under the name of portable consoles, since it is a model with a 10.95 inch screena screen size which obviously considerably increases its weight compared to the current offer and exceeds 1 kg.

If we talk about the Nitro Blaze 11, we are talking about a portable console that has a design similar to the Legion GO from Lenovo and Nintendo Switchwith controls that can be removed from the console to play independently and have a stand to place the console vertically and play comfortably as if it were a laptop.
If we are talking about screen, we are talking about a IPS panel defraud resolution 2560 x 1600 with an aspect ratio of 16:10. This has a refresh rate up to 144 Hz Inside this console, Acer does not bet on the most recent hardware on the market using the new AMD laptop processors and has opted for the AMD Ryzen 7 8840HYes, probably to reduce manufacturing costs.
This is the same processor found in the Nitro Blaze 7 which did not arrive on the market and which has 8 cores and 16 threads. As for the RAM, we are talking about 16 GB DDR5 and it has a capacity of up to 2 TB PCIe Gen 4.
At the moment we do not know if the user has the possibility to replace the storage unit with another of greater capacity, since it has not been specified what type of storage it includes. Joysticks and triggers have Hall effectso the feared effect does not occur derivative.
