OneXPlayer is making waves with the official release of the X1 Pro, a versatile device built around AMD’s Strix Point APUs. This handy gadget follows in the footsteps of the F1 Pro and the Ayaneo 3, and it proudly stands as one of the pioneering handhelds to integrate AMD’s Zen 5 Strix Point APUs. It’s set to be a solid contender against GPD’s anticipated Pocket 4 mini-laptops.
What makes the OneXPlayer X1 Pro particularly appealing is its 3-in-1 design, allowing it to function as a laptop, tablet, or handheld device. Much like the upcoming Pocket 4, it’s equipped with the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, boasting an impressive 12 cores (a combination of four Zen 5 and eight Zen5c) laid out in a dual-CCX format. This comes with a generous 12MB of L2 cache, 24MB of L3 cache, and a turbo boost clock of up to 5.1 GHz. The iGPU side is equally impressive, featuring a Radeon 890M with 16 Compute Units. Thanks to AMD’s XDNA 2, the NPU in the HX 370 delivers a robust 50 TOPS of AI performance.
The device flaunts a stunning 10.95-inch display with a 120 Hz LTPS (presumably IPS) panel, delivering a sharp 2560×1600 (2.5K) resolution. This makes the colors pop, covering 138% of the sRGB spectrum and reaching a brightness of 540 nits. Storage options are flexible, spanning from 1TB to a hefty 4TB, with read and write speeds of up to 7.1 GB/s and 6.5 GB/s, respectively. For those needing even more space, a MicroSD card slot is thoughtfully included.
Here’s a quick glance at pricing:
– HX 370 + 1TB Storage + 32GB RAM: Presale $1,399, Retail $1,599
– HX 370 + 2TB Storage + 32GB RAM: Presale $1,499, Retail $1,699
– HX 370 + 2TB Storage + 64GB RAM: Presale $1,699, Retail $1,859
– HX 370 + 4TB Storage + 64GB RAM: Presale $1,799, Retail $1,999
The X1 Pro comes with a 65.02Wh battery that promises up to eight hours of use, although real-world usage may see about two hours when operating at 28W. Included in the package is a 100W Gallium Nitride charger for efficient power-up. When it comes to connectivity, you get Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2.
The gaming experience is enhanced with hall-effect RGB joysticks designed to prevent stick drift. In terms of ports, the X1 Pro provides two USB 4.0 ports, an OCuLink interface, a MicroSD slot, a USB 3.2 Type-A port, and a 3.5mm audio jack, covering all your connectivity needs.
Pre-orders are open as of today, and there’s a special discounted price for early birds while the presale is ongoing. Shipping is scheduled to kick off on January 3rd, just around the corner. Expect to catch the X1 Pro in action as OneXPlayer plans to showcase it, alongside other exciting devices, at CES 2025 next month.
