Modder Creates Handheld Gaming Device with RTX 4090 GPU and Intel i9-14900HX Featuring a 12.5-Inch 4K Display and 175W Mobile GPU

Sure thing. Here’s a reimagined version of that article for you:

So there’s this tech wizard in China, right? Qingchen DIY, roaming around Bilibili with like, this insane knack for building stuff. Well, they’ve gone and done it—cobbled together this monster of a handheld gaming device. Imagine this: a 12.5-inch screen blasting out 4K visuals. I know, practically a tablet in gaming gear. Jeez, it sounds like a mini cinema squeezed into a handheld!

But wait, it gets crazier. They’ve slapped in an Intel Core i9-14900HX under the hood. That’s a mouthful. And then, boom, an RTX 4090 Laptop GPU. Talk about overkill in the best way possible. Put those two bits together, and it’s like marrying a lion and a tiger—unexpected teamwork.

Now, I’m more used to AMD dominating the handheld scene. Think Asus ROG Ally X or Steam Deck OLED. Yeah, they’re cute compared to this behemoth. Intel tried flexing with MSI’s Lunar Lake handheld, but no dice, you know? Anyway, Qingchen’s dive into this new world is… let’s say brave? Or maybe just curious? Who can tell?

So, Qingchen didn’t just throw these parts into a random shell. Oh no, they worked some serious magic on a Tongfang chassis. Don’t ask me how—I can barely assemble IKEA furniture. Thing is, you probably know Tongfang through other brands without even knowing it. It’s like discovering your favorite band’s ghostwriter. Weird connection, right?

Inside, it’s packed with power: i9-14900HX, eight P-cores, sixteen E-cores—tech lingo galore. And that GPU—an RTX 4090—almost scary how they stuffed it in there. Reminds me of the MSI Titan 18 HX but shrunken down. Like, imagine a giant squashed into a tiny package. Handheld now sounds like they’ve redefined the word.

Okay, check this: even with all that power, temps stay chill. God of War, Horizon Forbidden West, all running smoothly, under 72°C. That’s no easy feat. Qingchen must have whispered sweet lullabies to the cooling fans or something. Can you imagine the focus?

Let’s not forget, they threw in 64GB DDR5-5600 RAM and twin 2TB SSDs. Storage heaven. But fair warning—50Wh battery. Only for brief adventures away from a plug, trust me.

Seeing a commercial Intel + Nvidia handheld in the future? Not so fast, buddy. Nvidia’s got some solo plans brewing with the N1 and N1X incoming in 2026. But that’s tomorrow’s problem… or solution? Who really knows.

Anyway, stay looped in with Tom’s Hardware on Google News for more chaos like this. Wouldn’t want to miss the next mind-boggling tech twist, right?
