     This fuel gauge design on the Acer Nitro Blaze 7 shell looks like it's from my grandpa's yellow Datsun and it's pure cringe.

     @raptor85 Right? If you're going to make it LOOK like a toy, make it function like one...

     @killyourfm you know, i'd respect it a lot more if they'd at least made it functionally report the battery level, all it would have taken is a few LEDs and a controller.

     "If you’re in the market for a handheld gaming PC and nothing about the Steam Deck, ROG Ally X, Lenovo Legion GO, or bevy of options from OneXPlayer and Ayaneo gets you excited, then the newly revealed Acer Nitro Blaze 7 isn’t going to MOVE THE NEEDLE for you."

     This content writes itself. Also I'm sorry.

     @serebit I would have tapped Lunar Lake instead, even if that meant delaying the device. There is absolutely nothing here distinguishing this device from the pack.

     @killyourfm No touchpads, no back buttons, Windows, and it's got Phoenix Point inside like all the others. I'll pass.
