OneXPlayer's new AMD 6800U-powered handheld is up for preorder

pcgamer.com:

One of the biggest booms of 2022 in gaming has been for portable PCs. Sure, gaming laptops are getting more powerful every year, but they're also expensive machines that take up space. If all you want to do on a portable monster is game, you can save money and hassle by going for a machine that's purpose-built for games like the new and ever-more-popular Switch-like handheld PCs.

While rumours around the Steam Deck 2 are circulating, there's not much concrete. We don't even know when to expect the new handheld PC/console hybrid, and Valve is still getting through the backlog of current orders. It's still a little shaky whether or not you'd get your hands on one, but other companies are more than happy to fill the gap.

One such is OneXPlayer. This company has been pumping out handheld PCs for quite a while now and they come in a fair variety of builds featuring AMD- and Intel-based designs. Now the latest line of AMD units, the 7-inch OneXPlayer Mini Pro, is up for preorder(opens in new tab), and it comes with a discount and some bonuses for those ready to put down a deposit.

The new handheld is powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 6800U, potentially like the AOKZOE AI, s another competitor that's still up for preorder(opens in new tab). Though the AOKZOE has been up for preorder for a while, this new one from OneXPlayer feels like a fairer bet, given OneXPlayer already has a decent track record for these machines, like the One-Net Netbook OneXPlayer Mini we reviewed(opens in new tab).
