Acer says it\u2019s a \u201cstreaming-first handheld and companion device,\u201d like a PlayStation Portal for your PC. Announced at Computex on Friday, it\u2019s launching in Q4 2026 with a 7-inch (1920 x 1200) display, Wi-Fi 6, just 1GB of LPDDR4 RAM, and 8GB of eMMC storage. That\u2019s technically not even enough RAM to run Stardew Valley, but the Blaze Link isn\u2019t meant for playing games locally.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Logitech launched a similar handheld a few years ago, the Logitech G Cloud, that cost $350, included 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, and ran on Android. It was a tough sell at that price considering that its performance was dependent on a good internet connection.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Acer hasn\u2019t yet announced a price for the Nitro Blaze Link. But its specs suggest it could cost significantly less than proper handheld gaming PCs \u2014 which have been skyrocketing in price \u2014 potentially offering a more affordable and streaming-first alternative.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/games\/940091\/acer-nitro-blaze-link-linux-handheld\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Acer\u2019s launching a Linux handheld for streaming your PC games https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/games\/940091\/acer-nitro-blaze-link-linux-handheld Publish Date: 2026-05-29 15:01:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":258998,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/acer-nitro-blaze-link-announcement-cropped.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&crop=0%2C3.4613147178592%2C100%2C93.077370564282&w=1200","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[71],"class_list":["post-258997","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-linux","tag-linux"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258997"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=258997"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258997\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":259000,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258997\/revisions\/259000"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/258998"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=258997"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=258997"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=258997"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
