Let me tell you about a crazy contraption this guy, Qingchen DIY, showcased on Bilibili. Imagine someone going, “You know what, I’m going to slap a massive 12.5-inch 4K display on a handheld gaming device.” Yep, that’s exactly what happened. It’s not what you’d call pocket-friendly, but who cares, right?
So, this beast is powered by Intel’s Core i9-14900HX. Like, seriously, in a handheld? And just to make it more over-the-top, there’s an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPU crammed in there. Overkill? Maybe, but I’m definitely here for it.
There’s this whole thing going on between AMD and Intel in the gaming scene, especially with gadgets like the Steam Deck. But now, here comes Intel with, let’s call it, a mini mega-machine? It’s like trying to fit a lion into a… I dunno, a Smart car. Wild, isn’t it?
Jumping over to the hardware side — the modder took this Tongfang chassis, which, surprise, is the backbone for a lot of big-name brands you’ve heard of. And like an art project gone kinda right (or wrong), turned it into this handheld monster. That’s dedication or a touch of madness. Or hey, probably both.
Inside, you’ve got these two absolute units of processors. Intel’s i9-14900HX and the RTX 4090 trying to one-up each other on performance. I mean, we’ve all seen big gaming laptops like the Alienware m18 — those giants! But this? It’s like someone said, “Why not squeeze that essence into a smaller frame?”
And temps? Surprisingly under control. The thing still runs God of War and such without turning into an oven. Except, you might wanna keep it near a power outlet, given its 50Wh battery. It’s really a sprint, not a marathon with this one.
Now, although it’d be epic seeing a commercially available handheld with this Intel-Nvidia combo, looks like Nvidia’s eyeing its own plans in the realm, targeting 2026. The chip wars? It’s heating up and cooling down at the same time. How poetic.
So yeah, not your average gadget tale, but it’s a saga of tech genius and a bit of mad science. Keep an eye on this stuff; it’s bound to stir things up!
