Not gonna lie, they kind of ruined the design. In an attempt to differentiate their version from the original they slapped gaming related graphics decals on the shell and just made it look cheap. The clean device itself looks good, but with all the rubbish branding on it is a hard pass.
So, less ram, less battery, and worse software than the Ally X? This would have been really cool about 1.5 years ago if it was positioned against the OG Ally at a competitive price.
I was hyped that Acer joins the market because of their usual pricing being lower and quality satisfying... And this is a rather small sized handheld. However I believe it will be better for those who already own a x86 handheld to just wait until the next gen come out. Just not worth the small upgrades imo.
If it costs more than $399, it will probably be tough to sell. The only real difference here compared to others is the NPU (which is nearly useless for gaming as far as i know) and the 144hz which is kinda "meh" because the APU will have a hard time hitting such high framerates, not to mention the battery life impact and i'm not too hopeful for battery life on this device.
The 8840u may not be this way at the moment, but the idea with the AI crap is using it to make the chip run more efficiently. So I wouldn't discount that part of it completely. It is quite feasible in the future this battery will perform on par with the Ally X 80 Whr because of that chipset.
I see matte plastic, my interest peaks. To all the "too late" comments, this is not a race, this is a market section that's growing. It would be like saying that a new company is too late in releasing a phone or a laptop, if there's something to offer, it might catch on, because the market is there.
I'm excited to see a handheld with a genuinely user replaceable full-size NVMe drive bay, for once I don't have to put quotes around user replaceable. Acer is known for quality budget hardware too, so I wouldn't be surprised if they hit that $700 mark without storage.
Your games can hit 144 hertz with lossless scaling. They can exceed 200 hertz & reach into the 300+ range. But at 144, you can set up a unit so that number runs consistently. So you get 144 fps at all times. The 144 number never deviates in either direction. It literally runs at exactly 144 fps indefinitely.
Unless Acer prices theirs VERY competitively, I don't see it beating what the ROG Z1E already offers. About the only thing it has going for it is how compact it looks compared to the Ally.
You'd think a company as large as Acer can afford to come up with something original... Unless they are buying that entire Chinese company, it's gonna feel awkward to have different brands using the same chasi
They could, but chances are it wouldn't be as good of a product as the Chinese company that has been doing it for years at this point. I am all for this being a stepping point for them to better R&D.
You know, I'm a bit surprised how this didn't happen sooner... people just don't get how prevalent this practice actually is. Not for portable gaming I mean, just electronics in general. In fact, I'd be a bit curious to check internals of all gaming portables to see if some are not just a case replacement deal. But I'm also plenty fine with stuff like that, particularly if it helps dropping prices. I'd personally get a Steam Deck myself... if it was available officially in my country. Since it's not, if you want a proper warranty and costumer support, you need to go for often overpriced options from other brands who do have an official local presence. And we need more options.
I don't think the HZ difference in the panels is what matters, is there actually anything else different about it?? Better contrast ratio? Better response time? Etc etc
The Terrans Force Handheld 5 with 16gb of ram and a 1tb storage is a grand from minixpc. I can’t imagine a faster Acer branded one selling for less than that. Unless they bought a serious quantity of product to get the price down. 🤷♂️
Had this launched around the same time the original Ally did.. this may of had a cult following by now. Terrible time to drop something with only 16gb ram
Hi thanks for the video it is nice. Can you use this as normal pc? Eg. Connect to external display or docking station with mouse and keyboard to use as your home pc, and whenever reqired unplug and take it with you? Since it has windows onboard I wonder if it fully utilizes the system features.
Terrans Force is a boutique brand like XMG, Eluktronics, or PC Specialist. E.g. they don't actually make these devices, they just resell a common oem one. They rebrand univil/tongfang laptops so my guess would be that the oem building this one maybe the tongfang as well
They could have had used the same ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) )firm for the handheld. This is done across a lot of manufacturers in the tech space especially in low end and mid end android phones globally.
Personally i would like to see some these companies do what valve do and make there own os. i heard some people like there handheld pc's but heard windows can be a pain sometimes on it compared to valves steam os but im unsure as i dont own such devices and dont know much about them than some videos i seen.
I just prefer Steam Deck approach with 800P screen. I'd rather have a better quality native pixel view, than upscaled from lower res up to 1080P. I don't see the push for 1080P games that can't be run at their native resolution. But I notice little details like that, and many can't.
I would think it will be sucessful at $550 max. It would be even better at $450, but that probably won't happen. Acer probably makes the boards for Terrans force. Terrans force probably designed and spec'd the shell, buttons, screen, and layout of the board. Then, Acer had Terrans force rebrand the system and bought exclusivity of the Handheld 7 in larger markets like the US and Europe.
yeah, I also hope the price would be $550USD for the base model. I mean, Ayn did it with the Loki, aya neo is selling the flip for a similar price and the orange pi neo will cost $500USD. Acer being a mainstream company they can do it
Antec is doing a similar thing with the Aya Neo Slide. These Chinese companies turning into ODMs for bigger publishers/resellers like thisi s a good idea.
I am still looking for a good $500-ish range linux-based handheld that has better specs than the Steam Deck. however, I could just install Bazzite on anything, right?
I haven't looked into the specs yet but this one seems more portable than the other handhelds but again why do we have these large bezels around the screen?? It makes the screen even smaller, what's wrong with this bezel trend still going on after all these years? Stop this immediately nobody wants less screen space.
Acer needs to hit a good price point with this if they want it to sell. Because they just don't have the same brand confidence as Lenovo and Asus. Despite Asus's spotty track record of customer support they are known as a top brand. Acer is known as a more budget brand with a cheaper quality and cost. So people are not likely to want to shell out $700+ for this from them. When that same amount could net them a steam deck OLED and games or a little more and they get an ally x or legion go.
actually acer sells pretty well because of their price strategy (however unrecognized) in China, so i won't be surprised to see a very good offer from them.
@@kris2501100 I didn’t say they didn’t sell well, they have always sold well because they are a budget brand. When I worked in pc repair a lot of acer computers came across my work bench, so I know they sell well, but the people who buy them, buy them because of their price. And I’ve noticed, their top end systems don’t sell as well, because their price strategy works great for budget devices, but it’s a tougher sell in a market like this. I am sure if they hit around that $650 price range or lower they will be a surprise contender if there aren’t any glaring flaws with the device.
@RedMageGaming It's a late cycle rebrand they're getting produced for a steal, they'll be discounted very soon. Asus is not a top brand by a long shot, but they are the largest brand in their market, largely due to consumers like you confusing market share with quality. The vast majority of their products are no better than competitors, and often worse.
@RedMageGaming Read the reply again, Asus is not a "top" brand. Acer is also not a "budget" brand. You're like someone going into a Walmart, and thinking their house brand is a top brand, because it's all over the store, and a majority of their sales. That's Asus today.
Original solid black design looks better. The new one looks like their aiming for an 8-year-old. At this time, the only thing that could convince me to buy another handheld pc would be the release of Lenovo Legion Go 2 (hopefully a slimmer and lighter design with better specs).
Really, I don't care for the price point, but they need to be competitive. What I'm looking for is the customer service. Will it be done from Acer or from the OEM?? From Acer POV, they didn't spend a dime of R&R, they have an "already to use" gaming handheld machine. But for the repairs, hmm...
Tbh i rather wait for the next soc from AMD than buying an handheld today. And they need to come with more ram so we can give the gpu more ram without starving the os.

This would make a lot of sense, it was so odd why Acer brought out something like this now. They just saw the popularity of handheld and went witha low risk option. I wouldn't buy it though.

Were being played lol.
I've never been that interested about of the Acer computers, laptops and PCs before than now when that AMAZING looking new Acer Nitro Blaze 7 I really like it gives AyaNeo, Onexplayer, Steam Deck Oled and Asus Rog Ally X vibes! Do Acer have Windows or their own software, an OLED/AMOLED or a full HD Screen I would be fine with only a full HD. And about of the price in my opinion it would be perfect price and worth it $500-$700/500€-700€ not too expensive. It's always AWESOME to see the new handheld gaming PC is coming can't wait when it's coming to marketing around the World like here in Europe thank you for showing this because I didin't saw anything about Acer handheld before this AWESOME video Eta Prime! 😊❤
It look like a toy with those decal stripping on front cover. Acer needs to drop the design or this thing is dead in the water before it even launch. Another thing, what happen to the RGB lighting?
it's ugly, the control layout is awful, and it brings nothing new to the table. Rog Ally X, Legion Go, or Steam Deck are really the only ones worth considering.
In my case, it has to be OLED. It's cool that Acer will have VRR and high refresh rate, but OLED is where it's at. Another thing is the battery life. Would be great if it lasted longer than Steam Deck. Third thing is... it's running Windows, and that will drag both performance and battery life down. Can't wait for Valve to release their Steam OS, hopefully both battery life and performance on all other handhelds will go up.
Not gonna lie, they kind of ruined the design. In an attempt to differentiate their version from the original they slapped gaming related graphics decals on the shell and just made it look cheap. The clean device itself looks good, but with all the rubbish branding on it is a hard pass.

However I believe it will be better for those who already own a x86 handheld to just wait until the next gen come out. Just not worth the small upgrades imo.
So basically Acer just did the same thing Tech Toy is doing in Brazil rebranding the AYN Loki to the Zeenix for the Brazilian market.
for what I have seen, they are selling it for a much higher price than the og loki
I know tec toy's entire history is rebranding products but it's funny to see them moving into this space lol
the Zenix at least it's the same product with an sticker
