OneXPlayer has just unveiled an exciting new gadget that’s sure to capture the attention of gamers and portable device enthusiasts alike. This innovative piece of technology is designed to function both as a gaming console and a laptop, catering to a variety of user needs. Starting at $899, the OneXPlayer G1 offers top-notch performance powered by the latest Intel and AMD processors, with memory configurations reaching up to 64GB and storage capacities of up to 4TB. With its crowdfunding campaign now live on Indiegogo, early backers have a chance to snag a complimentary protective case if they support the project within the initial 96 hours.
Delving into the technical specifics, the OneXPlayer G1 comes in several configurations: Strix Point, Arrow Lake-H, and Hawk Point. The most powerful of these boasts the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, which features a 12-core architecture combining four Zen 5 and eight Zen 5c cores and is paired with a Radeon 890M based on RDNA 3.5, housing 16 Compute Units.
Moving further down the line, Arrow Lake-H has an intriguing configuration with the newly announced Core Ultra 7 255H, packing 16 cores distributed across six P, eight E, and two LPE cores, paired with the Arc 140T graphics. Interestingly, OneXPlayer reports this setup scores 4,060 in 3DMark, potentially surpassing the Arc 140V seen in Lunar Lake. Of course, we will have to wait for independent testing to verify these claims. Finally, the Hawk Point-based option, with the Ryzen 7 8840U, offers eight Zen 4 cores along with a Radeon 780M featuring eight CUs.
As for pricing, the G1 is available from $899, which includes a configuration boasting the Ryzen 7 8840U, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. At the higher end of the spectrum, the $1,539 variant is packed with the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, a generous 64GB of RAM, and 4TB of storage.
This impressive device features an 8.8-inch, 2.5K display with a refresh rate of 144Hz, encased in a chic CNC-crafted aluminum chassis that weighs in at a lightweight 900g. The G1 is equipped with a detachable keyboard and trackpad, adding to its versatility and appeal for productivity tasks. Removing these leaves you with a controller interface plus a mini-keyboard likely designed for capacitive input.
The device includes linear triggers, though there’s no current information about whether the joysticks utilize hall-effect technology. For those looking to push the capabilities of the G1 even further, it provides OCuLink and USB4 ports for external GPU connectivity and USB Type-A ports for additional peripherals.
The OneXPlayer G1 is now open for crowdfunding via Indiegogo. It’s worth noting that contributing to a crowdfunding initiative like this is more akin to making an investment than a straightforward purchase. For anyone in Las Vegas, the G1 is on display at the LVCC, in the South Hall at booth 1-31145, offering a hands-on opportunity to explore this promising new device.
