Acer is launching a Linux handheld for streaming your PC games

Acer unveiled the Nitro Blaze Link, a 7-inch Linux handheld built for streaming PC games rather than running them locally.

The device has modest RAM and storage because it is meant to act as a companion to a gaming PC, not a full handheld rig.

Pricing has not been announced, but Acer is positioning it as a cheaper alternative to premium handheld gaming PCs.

It will compete with other streaming-focused devices such as the Logitech G Cloud and PlayStation Portal.
