Okay, so get this—some tech enthusiast in China got a wild hair and decided to build a gaming handheld that’s, honestly, bending all kinds of rules. I stumbled upon this when I was, you know, procrastinating on Bilibili. There’s this dude, Qingchen DIY, who put together this massive handheld—like 12.5 inches, people—who does that? This thing’s rocking a 4K screen and an Intel Core i9-14900HX. Oh, and let’s not forget, it’s got an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPU. Crazy, right?
So, the gaming handheld world is mostly AMD’s playground right now. Yeah, they’ve got some cool stuff with their desktop CPU and GPU stuff shrink-wrapped into these portable units like the Asus ROG Ally X and whatever. Intel tried getting their foot in the door with MSI’s Lunar Lake—props to them for trying! But really, no one’s yet put an Intel CPU with an Nvidia GPU in these handhelds. Then along comes Qingchen DIY, probably thinking, “Why not make this a thing?”
In the Bilibili video—don’t quote me, but they somehow squeezed all this into a Tongfang chassis. It’s like magic. Honestly, I didn’t even know who Tongfang was until I googled them, and it turns out they’re this big deal with some big-name designs or something.
Now, you’re probably scratching your head over how much punch this thing packs. Like, seriously, it’s got two of those whopper processors that laptops dream of. A Core i9-14900HX and that RTX 4090 Laptop GPU—that’s a lot of tech speak for “wow, this thing is a beast.” I’ve heard it’s comparable to those giant MSI and Alienware laptops, both at 18 inches of screen real estate. So, yeah, this thing’s no joke.
Oh, by the way, they crammed 64GB of DDR5-5600 RAM in there—double 2TB SSDs too. Storage heaven, more or less. And the battery? It’s 50Wh, which means… don’t stray too far from an outlet if you’ve got ambitions for a long gaming session.
As for Nvidia? Funky rumors about them crafting something snazzy without Intel. Some N1 and N1X models are on the horizon, possibly by 2026, which feels far off but isn’t. Could be worth the wait. Or not. Guess we’ll see.
To wrap it up—yeah, if you’re into tech neatness and game gadgetry, keep an eye out. And hey, maybe it won’t disappoint. Who knows?
