Introduction

Are you finding the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, and Lenovo Legion Go a bit too simplistic? Enter the OneXPlayer X1 Mini, a highly advanced handheld gaming PC. This upcoming 8.8-inch, 144Hz Windows gaming tablet offers a multitude of features that set it apart from the competition.

 

Key Features of the OneXPlayer X1 Mini

  • Detachable Gamepads: Like a Nintendo Switch, it comes with two detachable gamepads for versatile gameplay.
  • Magnetically Detachable Keyboard Cover: Similar to a Surface tablet, this feature adds functionality for productivity tasks.
  • Kickstand: For hands-free gaming and media consumption.
  • Easy-Access SSD Slot: Located under the kickstand, this is a novel feature for handheld gaming devices, allowing easy storage upgrades.
  • Oculink Port: Connect to one of the growing number of external GPUs (eGPUs) for enhanced gaming performance.
  • Windows Hello and Fingerprint Reader: Automatic face log-in and a fingerprint reader power button for secure and convenient access.
  • Large Battery: A 65 watt-hour battery, one of the largest in handhelds, ensures extended gaming sessions.
  • Multiple USB4 Ports: For a variety of peripheral connections.
  • Controller Grip: Snap the Joy-Con-alike controllers together into a wireless gamepad.
  • Harman EFX Tuned Audio: Enhanced audio quality for an immersive experience.

 

Hardware Specifications

The OneXPlayer X1 Mini boasts an AMD 8840U processor, offering a compelling alternative to the Intel Core Ultra chip found in its predecessor, the 10.95-inch OneXPlayer X1. The switch to AMD is expected to deliver better performance and efficiency.

 

Portability and Design

Despite sharing the same 65Wh battery as its larger 10.95-inch sibling, the OneXPlayer X1 Mini is more portable with its 8.8-inch screen. This smaller size enhances portability without compromising on battery life. The device's design includes:

  • 8.8-inch Display: Compact yet vibrant with a 144Hz refresh rate.
  • Lightweight and Compact Build: Ideal for on-the-go gaming.

 

Pricing and Availability

The OneXPlayer X1 Mini has not yet launched its Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign, so pricing details are still under wraps. Given its feature-rich design, enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting more information.

 

Conclusion

The OneXPlayer X1 Mini is shaping up to be the most feature-packed handheld gaming PC on the market. With its array of advanced features, powerful AMD processor, and compact design, it promises to provide a superior gaming experience. Stay tuned for updates on its crowdfunding campaign and official release.
