ADATA XPG NIA: A Unique Gaming Handheld

ADATA XPG NIA: A Unique Gaming Handheld

From its Computex booth, Adata is stepping into the handheld PC gaming arena with the XPG Nia. What sets this device apart? Well, it’s the first to offer both upgradable RAM and storage in a handheld form factor. Let’s break down the key features:

1. Upgradable RAM

Owners of the XPG Nia can expand their memory up to 64GB using the shiny new CAMM2 form factor modules. These modules are slightly flatter than the typical SO-DIMMs found in laptops, making them ideal for this compact device. Having the ability to upgrade RAM ensures future-proof performance and flexibility.

2. Flexible Storage

The XPG Nia’s storage configuration is equally impressive. A back panel can be easily removed, granting access to both the RAM and the SSD. While there’s only a single slot for SSDs (similar to other handhelds), Adata supplies its own S55 M.2 2230 drives, which can go up to a capacious 2TB. Gamers can store their favorite titles and media without compromise.

3. Ergonomics and Cooling

Adata has designed the XPG Nia with ergonomics in mind. The sliding tilt screen mechanism not only improves comfort but also exposes additional cooling vents when tilted. Plus, the built-in kickstand adds convenience for extended gaming sessions.

4. Windows Hello and Eye Tracking

Demo units of the Nia came with Windows 11, utilizing the built-in webcam for Windows Hello biometric security. But that’s not all—the camera also enhances the gaming experience with eye tracking, backed by Eyeware of Switzerland.

5. Circular Computing Initiative

Adata’s commitment to modders shines through its Circular Computing initiative. They’re making the XPG Nia a welcoming system for customization. Users can access 3D printing file sources to remodel cases and triggers. And here’s the exciting part: motherboard upgrades may be available later, allowing users to reuse discarded motherboards in other projects.

In summary, the Adata XPG Nia combines upgradability, ergonomic design, and innovative features, making it a compelling choice for gamers on the go. 🚀
