"Acer made a big splash at CES 2025 with the announcement of its surfboard-sized Nitro Blaze 11 gaming handheld, but its targeted second-quarter release came and went long ago. There's been no word of the chunky 11-inch Blaze or its smaller siblings."
"When we announced those products it was just ahead of the tariffs situation. We wound up just focusing on our core products, on laptops, because we needed to find manufacturing options outside of China."
"We don't have any imminent plans to offer them."
Acer unveiled the Nitro Blaze 11 gaming handheld at CES 2025 with a planned second-quarter release that never arrived. Months passed with no updates on the 11-inch Blaze or its smaller siblings, and the product line did not reach market. Tariff pressures and the need to secure manufacturing outside China prompted Acer to concentrate on core laptop products. The company deprioritized the Blaze family and currently has no imminent plans to offer those handhelds, leaving initial public interest unmet and the project on the company’s back burner.
