The new Nitro Blaze Link lets you play your games over Wi-Fi.
The most unique gaming gadget presented by Acer at Computex is a handheld computer dubbed Nitro Blaze Link. Acer bills it as a companion device that connects to an existing PC setup to stream and play your game library over Wi-Fi.
The Nitro Blaze Link has a 7-inch touchscreen and weighs 464 grams (about 1.02 pounds). This handheld will be available in North America and EMEA in Q4 2026, but we don’t have pricing details yet. The portable gaming product segment appears to be of growing interest for Acer, as it just introduced another, more robust option in the Predator Atlas 8 in March.

The company also revealed two new gaming laptops that can sync with the Nitro Blaze Link: the Predator Helios and the Nitro 16. The Predator Helios 18 AI gaming laptop is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 laptop GPU. It has an 18-inch Mini LED display that can run in HD resolution at 240 Hz or 4K at 120 Hz, depending on whether you want to prioritize performance or immersion. The machine maxes out at 6TB of storage to support the ever-increasing file sizes of today’s AAA titles.
The Nitro 16 seems to be a more economical option. The high-end version will come with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti laptop GPU and an AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX3D processor. Both gaming laptops are expected to hit the North American market in August, but no pricing information is available yet.
