The folks over at OneXPlayer are shaking things up with their latest device, the versatile OneXPlayer G1, which cleverly operates as either a console or a laptop, depending on your needs. Starting at an entry price of $899, this gadget is powered by cutting-edge processors from Intel and AMD, offers up to 64GB of memory, and can store up to 4TB of your favorite games and files. If you’re feeling the urge to jump on board early, the crowdfunding campaign is live on Indiegogo. For those who pledge their support within the first 96 hours, there’s an added perk: a free protective case.
Delving into the specs, the G1 comes in several flavors. Among them, you’ll find configurations like Strix Point, Arrow Lake-H, and Hawk Point. At the top of the food chain, there’s the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, rocking 12 Zen 5 cores (split between four Zen 5 and eight Zen 5c), along with the powerful RDNA 3.5-based Radeon 890M, boasting 16 Compute Units.
As for what’s further down the line, Arrow Lake-H is piquing interests with its new Core Ultra 7 255H, offering a total of 16 cores (six Performance, eight Efficiency, and two Low-Power Efficiency). And don’t forget the Arc 140T, which has reportedly scored 4,060 in 3DMark (likely Time Spy), which might just inch it ahead of the Arc 140V found on Lunar Lake. However, hold off on drawing conclusions until more independent tests roll in. To cap it all, there’s also the Hawk Point-based Ryzen 7 8840U, offering eight Zen 4 cores paired with the Radeon 780M’s eight Compute Units.
When it comes to cost, you’ll find the G1 starting at $899, which gets you the Ryzen 7 8840U, 32GB of memory, and a 1TB SSD. Those who opt for the luxury edition will find the top model priced at $1,539, packed with the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, 64GB of RAM, and a whopping 4TB of storage.
Speaking of its design, the G1 showcases an impressive 8.8-inch, 2.5K display that operates at a smooth 144 Hz. The console’s body is crafted from Aircraft-grade Aluminum, weighing in at just 900g. This portable powerhouse also comes with a detachable keyboard and trackpad for productivity, and once you remove it, you’re met with inbuilt controllers and a mini-keyboard at the bottom that’s likely capacitive.
These controllers all feature linear triggers, but there’s no clarity on hall-effect joysticks yet. Should you need more graphics power, the G1 is equipped with OCuLink and USB4 ports to connect an external GPU, alongside USB Type-A ports for other devices.
Ready to explore the capabilities of the OneXPlayer G1? It’s waiting for you on Indiegogo. Do keep in mind that contributing to a crowdfunding initiative is akin to investing, rather than making a straightforward purchase.
