ONEXPLAYER X1 Mini First Look, An All New 144Hz 8.8" RYZEN 8840U Handheld

[@hby7768]

can't wait for someone to do a 17inch version weighing 8lbs

[@VusziBelmont]

It will be called micro

[@marumisu9560]

The Minisforum V3 is 14 inches. Has V-link so you can hook up a console to it and use it as a monitor.

[@mobas07]

I think they should just tape some controllers to a laptop, that would be really epic!

[@aimlesslydriven]

YES! They listened and put a kickstand on this. No magnetic rear cover doohickey.

[@hellbillyhound]

Are you going to buy one?

[@aimlesslydriven]

@@hellbillyhound I like that it has the higher refresh rate display and up to 64 GB RAM. But like the OneXPlayer 2 Pro the 2nd USB port is on the bottom with the Occulink port which I have never been a fan of ports on the bottom of a handheld. At least the 2nd USB port is not blocked when the controllers are in place like the X1. Still hard to hit the left triggers for the 1 USB C port leftover on the X1 without a 90 or 180 bent usb port adapter. But OneX makes awesome handhelds so I may not be able to resist.

[@mk_quattro]

they learned from Legion Go

[@aimlesslydriven]

@@mk_quattro They learned from the Discord comments lol.

[@Nothing_is_sacred]

They listened and made it more expensive 🫰🏻

[@nickjacobsss]

The size comparison really highlights just how ridiculously large the steam deck is for its components. The x1 mini has a SIGNIFICANTLY bigger screen and processing power, AND has detachable powered controllers, while being basically the same size.

[@Victorlopes289]

Really want one! Looks amazing! My concern is that i had one model from OneNote in the past (onexplayer 5800U) and my experience with their Joysticks was really bad! Their Joysticks had a big problem with Deadzones (making Shooting games unplayable) Would love to see more about the controller and Deadzones!

[@jaynosowsky9708]

Looks amazing!! Please tell me your joking 😂😂 most ugliest handheld yet!!

[@RealBeanMan]

​@@jaynosowsky9708Hey, man. Beauty is subjective.

[@alfonsomoran7706]

I recently sold my OneXfly because of that deadzone issue. I couldn't find anyone else with the issue so i might've been in the minority. All the re-calibration, tips, and tricks couldn't help me unfortunately. It was too much for FPS games, and even made single player shooters feel just a tad off.

[@jaynosowsky9708]

@alfonsomoran7706 just buy a rog ally ,so much cheaper.. and it's the best windows handheld you can buy. It is the king of handhelds

[@glennshoemake4200]

I still have my OneXplayer 5800u and I haven't noticed any issues with the joysticks, I play Lost Planet 2 on it just fine. My complaint is the sdcard is too slow to put anything on it other than roms.

[@LISTEDGames]

How many of these are being released by these companies( AyaNeo & OneXPlayer). I am really worried about their long term support for these devices as I doubt they can keep up with them.

[@erikhonkys118]

Tbh not many people will buy those, so I think it will be manageable.

[@brandonkrauss1620]

@@erikhonkys118 That's the problem. Too many SKUs, each all having small users bases = company less motivated to actually support the 200 units they sold

[@FreezeS]

@@erikhonkys118 quite the opposite, since not many people will put pressure on them to update, they will remain unsupported very quickly.

[@Sup_D]

They give the standard 1 year warranty. As for Software support, i think every device uses the same custom software, so i doubt their would be any issue with support (as long as the company is active). And these are basically mini pc's with some Bluetooth or special connecting software, so even without support they would work the same, unless there is some defects.

[@Sup_D]

@@erikhonkys118 They already make these is limited quantity, so they don't have to worry too much about over stock (think they make like 100-500 of each version).

The temps on this thing is crazy cool, my steamdeck constantly runs at 80c playing these games

[@hb221984]

[@itsacopy]

I imagine with very low wattage using only for internet browsing and general stuff the battery should endure enough for tablet using. This gaming tablet is awesome.

[@MrPsanterIsBack]

Exactly what I thought. This look is horrendous, a total show stopper.

[@BrentCox2B]

Yeah but its wayyy more powerful

Well, in effect it's a slightly souped up Legion Go with oculink. I like that the M2 is easily exchangeable (well, relatively).

[@Just_Manny305]

I wish you’d be a bit more honest with your reviews. Lately your reviews have been only focusing on positive, and leaving out comments about critical areas of improvement.

19 inches of onexplayer

[@digonet2004]

An 8" OLED screen, 1920x1200, 90 Hertz, it would be smaller, lighter, much more economical, more efficient and would have a more beautiful screen. It would allow for better ergonomic controls, like the ROG ALLY... In terms of aesthetics , they could round these edges of the body a little.

[@SCORP1ONF1RE]

agree with all of it.

[@BWT599]

Be close to my OneXplayer 2 pro specs. They will release something similar pretty soon. I personally would like a bigger screen for work so I'm in the market for an X1.

[@Caba-Rojo]

Happy the went with the 8840u… I backed the larger one but then backed out right before the cut because that Intel processor just seemed very sus.

[@Morgan423Z]

Super-odd to me that companies keep releasing these devices without track pads. Especially on a default Windows OS device. It's super annoying trying to navigate with sticks, and I hate being forced to use the touchscreen, I hate getting prints all over my display. I guess you could set up gyro to do it? That'd be weird.

[@Mookah128]

The detachable feature is dope

[@matpit5136]

It's a table - handheld hybrid.

[@DeangusMcFife]

hows the layout of the controller feel? one of my biggest gripes with these handhelds is the vertical layout of the buttons/dpad and the sticks and how it feels like your straining your thumbs to reach. i like the feeling of both the xbox controller and the Deck button layout.

[@draco2xx]

feels decent

[@TheGamingCirclePodcast]

The only thing that bugs me is that it's a portrait display! That means AFMF doesn't work. Just like my AOKZOE A1 Pro. I was really excited to get one till I saw that. I might still get one but that's really tampered my excitement.

[@gamingscoobs1133]

brother look into loss less scaling frame gen if thats your only complaint

[@Achilles_11_]

I would love a fps test of warzone resurgence at 1080p with 1% lows, if you find the time. Thank you for the video.

[@AdmiralBison]

2:05 if you "sliced" the controllers off the Steam Deck and attached it to the OneXplayer X1 mini it looks to be a better fit. I recon OneNet ought to copy the control layout of the Steam to allow for trackpads, more space for select/start/keyboard/home and face button/stick layout. More room for 4 x back pedals and perhaps 4 x shoulder buttons and 4 x nub buttons on top.

[@mtx1212]

it's basically a cloned Legion Go with the exact same 8.8in panel at 1600p 144hz, yet zero mentioning of this.

[@luca7x689]

The display and detachable controllers are the only common things. The rest of the hardware is totally different.

[@lrsaibamen6899]

It’s more closer to their onexplayer 2 which came out before Legion go

[@brianarteaga8776]

That's exactly what I was thinking

[@denisdenisenko4378]

They were producing similar handhelds long before Legion Go was created. So, maybe Legion Go is a cloned Onexplayer?

[@lrsaibamen6899]

@@denisdenisenko4378 That’s how I viewed the legion go when it first came out. It’s a oxp 2 with functional detachable controls and better pricing. But worse battery and less ram.

[@aneesiqbal8546]

Really like it. Very curious to see if it can do 4k gaming with an RTX 3090 over oculink and a monitor attached. I can retire my gaming mini-pc if so and can use this for everything, portable/docked.

[@NorthsideChamps16]

Well I’m selling my Legion Go for this thanks to the inclusion of oculink. Egpu support with the legion go is severely lacking as it’s not even officially supported and the usb 4 ports overheat causing disconnects.

I really hope steam take in this device when building the steam deck 2 it would be cool to be able to have steam os on 1 SSD and windows on the other.

[@marumisu9560]

I wish companies would start putting in multiple micro SD cards slots since the progress on 2TB is so slow. I'd love to have 4 micro SD slots. Also wish the kickstand was wider like a surface tablet

[@coscimore]

how is the card reader? The first Gen OneXPlayer was terribly slow with sd cards, not even usb 2.0 speeds

[@darknetworld]

I guess they tested and chose which chip to keep power and heat to last longer? Still it been long way to desktop to tablet to be compact size and portable.

[@AdmiralBison]

16:15 "easier for the roll in fighting games" unfortunately, OneNet has made the D-pad and right thumbstick too low and directly underneath the left stick and face buttons. You end up having to reach lower to pull bottom half circle moves with the dpad in fighting games and the controls are not off center like Xbox/Playstation controllers - when they are off center it allows thumbs to more naturally shift left or right between sticks and dpad/face buttons, but with these controls you have to move up and down. This is could be the result of having smaller controls and also a bit cramp. basically as mentioned a lot in the discord the controllers need to be bigger to allow better spacing, alignment and balance. OneNet looks to have improved the X1 mini by moving one of the USB-C ports as it was blocked by the controllers.

[@beckinbinderin]

I ha d to return my OneXPlayer 2, due to the SD card not staying in the slot. Other had the same issue and the location on this device scares me.

[@QuanLe-ww1ev]

did they use a native landscape screen instead of a portrait like the legion go? Also, controllers detached have gyro?

[@Highwayman777]

The controllers not extended to the edge looks pretty terrible IMHO. Specs wise though, pretty nice

[@samdovakin2977]

dude I'm waiting for amd strix to launch they put a wide buss for the ram and some infinity cache so the gpu performance will be crazy

[@VicV91]

No back buttons in the controllers? That's sad, it helps a lot on many games

waiting to try out the rog ally x, depending on that outcome I may grab this one instead. But I noticed on the Kickstarter page it's still in "protoype" phase. I wonder if I order now if I'll get this prototype or will there be a delay until it goes to production 🧐. If that's the case I don't want to wait a few months before getting this in my hands lol!

[@duuke4618]

Wouldn’t there be a lot of dust accumulating under that dpad? Which would force you to remove and clean it from time to time which can easily lead to the dpad being loose or worse

Definitely a contender and finally a handheld with a decent capacity battery. Not to bothered about how the machine looks, it looks how it looks far as I'm concerned. Build quality seems good too. And it's still less bulky than a laptop. Which for me a disabled person is a good thing.

[@Leopez02]

In my opinion that ONEXPLAYER Mini all new 144Hz 8.8 RYZEN 8840U Hand Held looks interesting, but it have too big screen. Is that here in Europe and how much it cost? About of other OneXPlayer hand helds i'm interested of the Most OneXPlayer Mini Pro what's now on huge sale only under 530€, is that worth it? That video was good thank you Eta Prime! 😎

[@AaronMobileGaming]

I still keep my lenovo legion go for another 1 year… very similar specs… and now legion go “used” going around for very good prices

[@Mika9VS7777]

Cool but price?

[@vi8799]

I love this boom in portable consoles with PC architecture. However, I don't understand the priority in the features of these devices. Why does the screen need such a resolution and refresh rate? It won’t run a single game at 144 Hz at 2K, what’s the point of this frequency? Or why waste battery on stick lighting? Why increase cost by using wireless controllers? All of it makes it heavy for a portable device. It could be cheaper if the creators focused on the important things rather than marketing gimmicks.

[@Dr-AK]

is there a video that explains all the differences with these onexplayer units. kind of confused, interested in first time purchase that will last me years if possible

[@Moriored]

I would love to get a tablet/gaming handheld like this one to replace both steam deck and tablet. I am wondering how's the experience of such devices as tablets compared to android tablets and ipad... can they replace them? (I am thinking of battery life, user interface experience, et c.)

[@lukkeras]

There is one thing I don’t get… If I swap the SSD I would have to reinstall windows? Or does it have a main (non-swappalbe) SSD for the OS?

[@davidagiel8130]

I need a bigger screen than steam deck, but if you get some Xreal glasses you don't need to worry about screen size, you don't even need a screen. 3-in-1 is more productive than a regular handheld PC that's for sure.

[@Jaibuuuu]

glasses would be very impractical though, unless you don't do any other task while you are using it and there are no humans around to have normal interactions. It's still more practical to grab a device, do your tasks and leave it whenever you need to.

[@gregyance9901]

Where is the complement to the controllers so we can have a gamepad? , it will be included, it will sell independently?

[@delias74]

Hardware looks good, but I just find the Windows experience (in handheld mode) on these devices too jarring. I've put ChimeraOS on my Legion Go (which works well), and until there's a windows mode (or app) that provides someting more like Steam's "big picture" mode, Windows on handhelds is a "no, thanks" from me. Don't get me wrong - the different manufacturers' (Armory Crate / Legion Space / OneXP CC) apps, or 3rd party apps (Handheld Companion etc.) are mostly fine, but Windows keeps interrupting (updates, notifications etc.) and dragging me back to the desktop (which is the jarring aspect). Never thought I'd miss the Windows 8 metro interface...

[@kccts44]

13:30 Why is SF6 running so slow?

[@bsum8715]

Is the kickstand really usable when either the USB4 or Oculink port is being used?

[@edj9013]

I like the idea of thr easy swap drive. I wish the other manufacturers would do the same thing. Too bad this device will be so expensive though

[@AdmiralBison]

should have been a swappable 2280 to allow for 4-8TB SSDs. This seems to be a step down as the device only looks to support up to 2TB SSDs.
