OneXPlayer is shaking things up with its latest device, a versatile powerhouse that effortlessly switches between console and laptop modes. Priced at an entry-level $899, the OneXPlayer G1 is built with cutting-edge Intel and AMD processors, offers up to 64GB of RAM, and boasts an impressive 4TB of storage capacity. The company is reaching out to fans through an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign, sweetening the deal with a complimentary protective case for backers who jump on board within the initial 96-hour window.
When it comes to tech specs, the OneXPlayer G1 doesn’t skimp. It comes in several configurations, including Strix Point, Arrow Lake-H, and Hawk Point. Those opting for the high-end model will enjoy the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, which sports 12 Zen 5 cores (four Zen 5 paired with eight Zen 5c). This is complemented by the RDNA 3.5-based Radeon 890M that boasts 16 Compute Units (CUs).
Arrow Lake-H makes a notable appearance in this lineup with the freshly revealed Core Ultra 7 255H. This bad boy features 16 cores (six P-cores, eight E-cores, and two LPE), and the Arc 140T, which has reportedly achieved 4,060 points in a 3DMark benchmark—likely in Time Spy—according to OneXPlayer. This performance nudges it ahead of the Arc 140V found in Lunar Lake, but I’d suggest holding off on final judgments until we see some independent benchmarks. At the bottom tier, the Hawk Point-based Ryzen 7 8840U packs eight Zen 4 cores alongside the Radeon 780M with eight CUs.
As for pricing, the G1 starts at a competitive $899 with the Ryzen 7 8840U, paired with 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD. If you’re looking to go all out, the top model will set you back $1,539 and comes laden with the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, a hefty 64GB of RAM, and a massive 4TB of storage.
Display-wise, the G1 doesn’t disappoint, featuring a crisp 8.8-inch, 2.5K screen that refreshes at 144 Hz. Housed in a chassis crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum and weighing just 900g, this device is as stylish as it is functional. For those who need a bit more productivity, it also includes a detachable keyboard and a trackpad. Once detached, you’ll find a handy built-in controller setup with a mini-keyboard below that likely responds to capacitive touch.
While the triggers are linear, there’s no word yet on whether the joysticks boast hall-effect technology. For users wanting extra power, the G1 is equipped with OCuLink and USB4 ports, allowing for the connection of an external GPU, alongside USB Type-A ports for additional connectivity.
The OneXPlayer G1 is available on Indiegogo, but remember, supporting a crowdfunding campaign is more of an investment than a straightforward purchase. If you find yourself in Las Vegas and are curious to see the G1 in person, head over to the LVCC, South Hall 1-31145 booth for a closer look.
