OneXPlayer is making waves with its latest innovation, which cleverly bridges the gap between a console and a laptop. Known as the OneXPlayer G1, this versatile device starts at a competitive $899. It’s packed with robust components, including cutting-edge processors from Intel and AMD, offering up to 64GB of memory and a hefty 4TB of storage. The device is currently available for backers on Indiegogo, and for those keen enough to participate within the first 96 hours of the campaign, there’s a bonus protective case thrown in for good measure.
Diving into the nitty-gritty, the OneXPlayer G1 offers several configurations to cater to a variety of tech enthusiasts. You have options like Strix Point, Arrow Lake-H, and Hawk Point. The cream of the crop boasts an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, featuring a potent combination of 12 Zen 5 cores (split between four Zen 5 and eight Zen 5c) alongside a Radeon 890M, which is equipped with 16 Compute Units powered by RDNA 3.5 technology.
Moving down the options list, Arrow Lake-H includes Intel’s recently debuted Core Ultra 7 255H, with an impressive 16 cores (comprising six performance cores, eight efficient cores, and two low-power efficient cores) and the Arc 140T, which OneXPlayer claims hits 4,060 points on 3DMark’s Time Spy benchmark. It’s a bold claim, suggesting better performance than the Arc 140V found in Lunar Lake systems, though of course, we’ll need to see independent benchmarks to back this up. In contrast, the Hawk Point build houses the Ryzen 7 8840U, with a respectable offering of eight Zen 4 cores paired with a Radeon 780M with eight Compute Units.
On the price spectrum, the G1’s base model, costing $899, includes the Ryzen 7 8840U, 32GB of memory, and a 1TB SSD. The top-tier choice, at $1,539, ups the ante with the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, along with 64GB of RAM and a vast 4TB of storage space.
Showcasing an 8.8-inch display, the G1 boasts a vibrant 2.5K panel that can operate at 144 Hz. Its body, crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum, keeps the weight down to just 900 grams. For those who desire productivity features, the G1 is equipped with a detachable keyboard and a handy trackpad. When you pop off the keyboard, you unveil a convenient built-in controller setup, alongside a mini keyboard at the base, ready to accept touch input.
The device also comes with linear triggers, though it doesn’t specify if its joysticks are hall-effect engineered. Need more power? The G1 is prepared with OCuLink and USB4 ports to hook up an external GPU, plus USB Type-A for additional connections.
If this sounds enticing, the OneXPlayer G1 can be found on Indiegogo. A quick note for potential backers: remember, crowdfunding is more akin to investing with risks, rather than purchasing a guaranteed product. For those who are Las Vegas-bound, you can see the G1 firsthand at their booth at the LVCC, South Hall 1-31145.
