Right, so, there’s this guy in China, Qingchen, or Qingchen DIY if you wanna get all formal about it, who’s basically a wizard with computer parts. He went ahead and slapped together this monster of a gaming handheld. Talking a whopping 12.5-inch screen with 4K resolution. Yeah, you heard me. Kinda nuts, right? And then he jams in an Intel Core i9-14900HX. That’s like stuffing a race car engine into a tricycle just because, well, you can.
Oh, and the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090? Seriously, what was he thinking? Just imagine the power needed to feed that thing. But hey, who am I to judge? I can’t even get my phone to stop glitching half the time. This contraption honestly feels like something out of a sci-fi movie—like, you half expect it to start talking to you. Or maybe that’s just me after too much coffee.
Now, side note: AMD’s pretty much ruling the gaming handheld space with their snazzy APUs. You got devices like the Steam Deck OLED and whatever that Asus ROG thing is. But Intel decided to wade in with some contenders like the MSI Lunar Lake. I guess Qingchen thought, “Why shouldn’t Intel and NVIDIA have some fun together?” Maybe they’ll make the tech version of a buddy cop movie. Or not. Who knows?
Qingchen crafted this beast using a Tongfang chassis. Which sounds like a tongue twister, doesn’t it? Anyway, Tongfang’s that sneaky company quietly building stuff for brands we think are cooler, but whatever. The point is, Qingchen turned into some DIY superhero with it.
He’s packing all the goodies in there—an i9 chip with more cores than I can count after a long day and a freaking RTX 4090. Like, the same punch you’d find in massive laptops like MSI Titan, which are more like aircraft carriers compared to this handheld jet ski. But whatever floats your boat, eh?
So, if you’re wondering about overheating… no sweat, apparently. Qingchen says the temps stay below 72°C while playing some hardcore games. Tried running God of War on this thing while the GPU’s munching through power like it’s at an all-you-can-eat buffet. Sounds chaotic, but it works, allegedly.
Specs? Sure, why not. It’s got 64GB of RAM and 2TB SSDs—not one, but two! Both can be upgraded, like you’ll need to with this beast. A tiny 50Wh battery’s thrown in too—definitely not lasting long without a cozy outlet, which feels like a tiny oversight but let’s not sweat the small stuff.
We might be waiting on a beautiful Intel-Nvidia handheld duo for a while, but there’s a whisper about Nvidia breaking out with its creations by 2026. Meanwhile, AMD’s probably cackling in the corner, plotting a comeback or something.
All this makes me want to grab some popcorn and see how the tech world unfolds. Anyway, I’m off to see if I can get my old laptop to boot properly. Wish me luck!
