With AMD dominating the handheld PC market, thanks to the Ryzen 7 7840U APU, it was only a matter of time before somebody decided to give Intel a try. That someone just so happens to be OneXPlayer, a brand that has a pretty decent track record with handhelds, such as the great OneXFly. It's just announced the X1, part of a new line up called the OneXPlorer series, with Intel's new Meteor Lake-powered Core Ultra chip handling all of the duties.
Although it looks just like a tablet, OneXPlayer claims the 11-inch handheld is a 3-in-1 design but hasn't said what that really means. The teaser video gives us a few clues though, as it's very reminiscent of the OneXPlayer 2 Pro. That's an 8.4-inch device that uses Switch-style controllers and supports a magnetic keyboard to become a mini-laptop: tablet, notebook, handheld gaming PC. Three in one.
That's just me guessing, though, as the actual press release is rather light on details. For example, there's no indication as to which Intel Core Ultra chip is inside, other than it being a Core Ultra 7, so it's not possible to work out what its performance will be exactly like, especially in games. There's no mention of RAM, storage, or connectivity options either, though other OneXPlayer models are generally well-served in these areas.
The screen's specs are fleshed out a little more, as it's 10.95 inches in size (let's just call it 11, okay?) with a 2.5K resolution. That probably means it's 2560 x 1600 so that's decent for a panel that size. It has a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz and OneXPlayer also states that it's an LTPS screen. No idea if it's IPS or OLED, but it looks pretty neat in the video (as well as it should).
Apparently, the twin speakers have been tuned by engineers
