A Chance Encounter That Sparked Curiosity
Sometimes, chance leads you to discoveries you never expected. On the last day of my trip covering COMPUTEX 2025, I happened to meet Jonan Bahnsen, the founder and CEO of Sindri, the company behind the portable gaming chassis eBlaztr. We spoke briefly about his product before shaking hands and going our separate ways. Yet, what he said lingered in my mind.
Jonan didn’t speak like a CEO pitching his product. He spoke like a gamer someone who lived the problem, believed in the solution, and conveyed his passion in a way that was almost contagious. That spark pushed me to dive deeper into his creation, a device that promises to reshape the very idea of portable gaming systems.
I later reconnected with Jonan to uncover the full story behind eBlaztr: a revolutionary product aiming to redefine what compact, portable gaming PCs can be.
And what I discovered went far beyond my expectations…
The Struggle Between Power and Portability
In recent years, the tech world has been torn between two extremes: desktop PCs that deliver uncompromising performance but are bulky and stationary, and gaming laptops that offer mobility but often disappoint in thermals and upgradability. Standing at this crossroads comes eBlaztr, a Danish innovation designed to bridge the gap by combining desktop-grade power with true portability.
What makes the story even more remarkable is that eBlaztr didn’t begin in a high-tech lab or as part of a multi million dollar investment. It began with a simple personal frustration.
“My story started with a gaming laptop that overheated and stopped working,” Jonan recalls. “From that moment, I dedicated myself to creating the world’s first truly portable, fully upgradable gaming PC a product that combines the performance of a desktop with the convenience and mobility gamers expect today”.
Jonan’s philosophy is just as bold as his design :”Technology should empower people, not lock them in. That’s why we built eBlaztr to be upgradeable, repairable, and sustainable a device that can grow with gamers and creators instead of holding them back”.
A Revolutionary Design
The eBlaztr chassis is neither a traditional laptop nor a simple small-form-factor case. Instead, it introduces a radical design: a lightweight honeycomb-structured aluminum frame reinforced with fiber and stainless steel. The result is a rugged yet portable form factor that supports full desktop components inside.
Users can mount mini-ITX motherboards, full-size GPUs up to 330mm, and SFX power supplies, essentially carrying desktop class performance in a bag-sized frame.
Functionality is just as innovative. The system comes with foldable legs that deploy in seconds, allowing quick setup anywhere. It even supports VESA mounted monitors, instantly transforming into a full gaming station or professional workstation.
Cooling, the Achilles’ heel of portable devices, is cleverly addressed. The chassis features large ventilation zones on the back and sides, while the GPU connects through a riser cable that channels heat outward, ensuring stable thermals even under heavy gaming or rendering workloads.
Built to Last and Evolve
Perhaps the greatest value of eBlaztr lies in its full upgradability. Unlike gaming laptops that quickly become obsolete, this system allows users to swap out the GPU, CPU, storage, and even the mounted display. It also supports up to four 2.5 inch SSDs, making it ideal for large game libraries or media projects.
Jonan summarizes it best :”Gaming laptops often underperform and can’t be upgraded, while desktops are powerful but immobile. With eBlaztr, we bridge that gap giving gamers the best of both worlds”.
Recognition and Global Reach
eBlaztr made waves at Computex 2023, earning praise from Tom’s Hardware, which described it as “an innovation capable of redefining portable computing.” Since then, it has begun expanding into European markets through retailers like Quiet PC (UK) and globally via Amazon.
It’s offered as both an empty chassis, giving users complete freedom to build their own setup, or as prebuilt systems tailored for gamers and creators available directly from the company. Each unit comes with a 24 month warranty.
Why eBlaztr Is a Game Changer
- Portability without compromise: Lightweight frame, instant setup, and desktop-grade performance anywhere.
- True expandability: Modular parts and VESA display support ensure long-term usability.
- Efficient cooling in a compact form: Wide ventilation and GPU heat management for sustained performance.
- Long term value: Unlike costly gaming laptops that age quickly, eBlaztr’s modular nature makes upgrades affordable and simple.
A Message to the MENA Region
When speaking about the Arab world, Jonan shared a personal note:
To readers in the MENA region, I’d like to say: we see an exciting and growing gaming culture in your part of the world, full of passionate players, creators, and innovators. Who have managed to keep gaming more social. It’s our ambition that eBlaztr can become a tool for your community to express that passion whether that means competitive gaming, content creation, or simply enjoying the freedom to play without limits with friends and family
I look forward to seeing eBlaztr in your hands and to building connections with partners and gamers across the region.
The Bottom Line
eBlaztr isn’t just another piece of hardware. It’s a new philosophy of gaming PCs one that blends desktop level power, laptop style mobility, and full modularity into a sleek, portable design. It represents not just an upgrade in hardware, but a reimagining of what it means to truly own a gaming device built to evolve with you.
