This 12.5-inch handheld gaming PC can play video games at 4K 100FPS

Handheld gaming PCs are getting extra highly effective on a regular basis. However, they nonetheless can’t exchange the extent of efficiency you get from a full-on gaming laptop computer. Or can they? One modder has taken that concept and put it to the check.

A Bilibili creator who goes by Qingchen DIY has constructed a large 12.5-inch handheld gaming PC (h/t El Chapuzas Informatico). But it’s not the scale that’s spectacular, it’s the truth that the modder fitted it with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPU. Along with that high-end GPU, there’s additionally a 24-core Intel Core i9-14900HX CPU.
