Reviews for the Acer Nitro Blaze 11
Source: Tom's Guide
In many ways, Acer has proven that a larger handheld can hang amongst its 7 and 8-inch brethren. But in other ways, parts of me are nervous about this. The Blaze 11 is a fundamentally enjoyable gaming experience with versatility at its heart, thanks to the detachable controllers and kickstand, while also being surprisingly lightweight in the hand. Plus that Ryzen 7 APU should pack enough power for some solid 1080p gaming. But with a rather small battery for its stature and a high price, this is a tough purchasing decision to make.

The Acer Nitro Blaze 11 is a gaming handheld that proves that bigger can be better (provided you do it right)! That 11-inch display is bright, colorful and crispy with detail. Plus, with Nintendo Switch-like detachable controllers and a kickstand, you can play for hours, and the weight of it all put together is really not as bad as I feared. Combine that with the AMD Ryzen 7 8840HS chip, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD, and you've got a solid system at $1,099.
