The PC handheld space continues to grow, and the biggest of all isNitro Blaze 11. As soon as I saw it announced at CES, I knew I had to try and get it in my hands, at least for the sheer curiosity of Will this thing even fit in my hands? The answer is yes though kind of just barely.RelatedI brought a Steam Deck OLED with me for a quick size and feel comparison.While the Blaze 11 isnt as heavy as I feared, the Steam Deck OLEDs 1.41 pounds feel like a featherweight in comparison. The Deck also feels a little more solidly built. Acers handheld isnt flimsy, but it did seem cheaper.But credit where credits due: playing games on such a big screen in your hands is a treat, and the kickstand felt solid for propping it up in tablet mode with detached controllers, which the Steam Deck cant do. Acer also gets points for using Hall effect sticks and triggers. Well have to wait and see how this jumbo $1,099 handheld fares when it launches in Q2 2025, as the competition heats up with the impending arrival of the Lenovo Legion Go S and the constantly leaking Nintendo Switch 2. In the meantime, here are a bunch of pictures of the Blaze 11 and the Steam Deck OLED.Maybe if we one day get 13- or 14-inch handhelds, a Steam Deck will be able to fit within the screen itself.The Steam Deck OLEDs screen is 7.4 inches, compared to the 10.95 inches of the Blaze 11.I only held the Blaze 11 for a short time, but I can say I did find the Steam Deck more ergonomic.Acers launcher looks and feels a bit spartan. It sits atop Windows, while Valves SteamOS is Linux-based.I dont know what these pins on the bottom of the Blaze 11 are, but Ive reached out to Acer to find out.The top of the Blaze 11 has dual USB 4 ports, a USB-A 3.2 port, a microSD card slot, and a 3.5mm headset jack.Dont talk to me or my son ever again.The rear feels like a wall of black plastic.The Blaze 11 has detachable controllers and a kickstand, which the Steam Deck does not.The Blaze 11s tablet mode. With a screen this big, it actually seems fairly usable in this configuration.A handheld this big isnt likely to be something you take on the road very much.Photography by Antonio G.
