One-Book which has a reputation with mini-PCs, handheld game consoles, and external GPUs has now teased its new gaming handheld; the OneXPlayer G1. This handheld console gaming laptop hybrid features all those things in one small form factor.
OneXPlayer G1 Teased
The OneXPlayer G1 was teased on YouTube recently, and other details have come up through ITHome, which provided a better look at how it looks and feels like. It is powered by the AMD Strix Point Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor, which is based on the Zen 5 architecture. Configured with 12 cores/24 threads, the processor promises to deliver state-of-the-art performance. Interestingly, the same processor powers the OneXFly F1 Pro console, too, and shows how serious One-Netbook is about handheld gaming performance.
Innovative Design and Display
OneXPlayer G1 comes out with a hybrid design that could be used both as a handheld game console and as a compact laptop. This 8.8-inch display is an IPS one and has a 2.5K resolution, hence supporting a refresh rate up to 144 Hz. Smooth visual performance for gaming and office work is ensured with it. Equipped with an RDNA 3.5-based Radeon 890M GPU, the machine easily runs modern games at medium or high settings.
In performance benchmarks, the G1 scored an impressive 4159 points in Time Spy graphics tests, outperforming the GTX 1650 by about 16% – a testament to just how well the console will handle gaming.
Multi-Faceted Features
OneXPlayer G1 combines a game controller and a compact keyboard, featuring a detachable Bluetooth dual-mode keyboard that quickly toggles between a game setup and a full-size keyboard layout. The machine also features joysticks, face buttons, and a D-Pad, adding RGB backlighting to personalise it.
Besides that, the controller of the G1 can be completely hidden and turn into a mini-laptop. That is why it’s an excellent choice both for gamers and productivity users.
Connectivity and Build
For connectivity, the OneXPlayer G1 features one OCuLink port and one USB4 port with several other peripheral options – making it good for any number of uses. And with a weight of just about 900 grams or so, it is more substantial than most traditional handheld gaming consoles. This also makes sense, given it is a dual-function game console and has powerful insides.
Pricing and Availability
While One-Netbook has not revealed the price or release date of the OneXPlayer G1, it is expected to be priced similarly to the OneXFly F1 Pro. This means the G1 could cost around $1500, reflecting its premium features and cutting-edge technology.
Conclusion
The OneXPlayer G1 is shaping up to be a revolutionary device in the gaming handheld market, packing in a hybrid design, powerful hardware, and several versatile features for an unrivaled gaming and productivity experience. Obviously, gamers and tech enthusiasts alike will be very interested to finally see how this device works in real life upon its official launch.
