OneXPlayer is shaking things up with the announcement of their versatile new gadget, the G1, which can seamlessly serve as both a console and a laptop, depending on your needs. Priced starting at $899, this device is all about performance, packed with the latest Intel and AMD processors, up to a whopping 64GB of memory, and a massive storage capability of 4TB. Right now, they’re running a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo, and if you jump in within the first four days, they’ll throw in a protective case for free.
Let’s talk specifics: the OneXPlayer G1 comes in several configurations, featuring choices like Strix Point, Arrow Lake-H, and Hawk Point architectures. The most premium setup is equipped with the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, featuring 12 Zen 5 cores (a split of four Zen 5 and eight Zen 5c) and a powerful RDNA 3.5-based Radeon 890M graphics processor with 16 Compute Units (CUs).
Stepping down a bit, the Arrow Lake-H configuration is a bit of a surprise. It includes the brand-new Core Ultra 7 255H with an impressive 16 cores (comprising six P, eight E, and two LPE cores) along with the Arc 140T graphics. According to OneXPlayer, it scores an impressive 4,060 points in 3DMark, presumably in the Time Spy test. This outpaces the Arc 140V in Lunar Lake, though it’s wise to wait for independent reviews before drawing firm conclusions. Meanwhile, the Hawk Point-based Ryzen 7 8840U delivers with eight Zen 4 cores and the Radeon 780M sporting eight CUs.
As for cost, the base model G1 is priced at $899 and offers the Ryzen 7 8840U, 32GB of memory, and a 1TB SSD. Going for the ultimate setup will set you back $1,539, offering the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, a gigantic 64GB of RAM, and 4TB of storage space.
The display is another aspect not to overlook — a vibrant 8.8-inch, 2.5K screen operating at a smooth 144 Hz. The entire assembly is crafted beautifully from aircraft-grade aluminum and weighs just 900g. Another cool feature is its detachable keyboard, along with a trackpad for when work calls. Once you take off the keyboard, there’s a built-in controller ready for gaming, right next to a mini-keyboard for which the input method is likely capacitive.
The G1’s triggers are linear, though it’s unclear if the joysticks incorporate hall-effect technology. Additionally, if you wish to enhance its performance, the G1 comes with OCuLink and USB4 ports for external GPU connections, plus USB Type-A ports for other devices.
Currently, crowdfunding for the OneXPlayer G1 is underway on Indiegogo. Just a heads up, backing crowdfunding campaigns is more like investing than just buying a product outright. If you’re in Las Vegas and curious about the G1, be sure to catch it live at their booth in LVCC, South Hall 1-31145.
