OneXPlayer has unveiled an exciting and versatile new gadget, the OneXPlayer G1, which can function as either a gaming console or a laptop depending on your preference. This high-performance beauty has a starting price of $899 and is packed with cutting-edge Intel and AMD processors, memory configurations up to 64GB, and a whopping 4TB of storage. It’s currently up for grabs through a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo, and early bird backers who contribute within the first 96 hours will get a free protective case thrown in.
The G1 comes in several configurations, including Strix Point, Arrow Lake-H, and Hawk Point. Its top-notch model boasts an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, powered by 12 Zen 5 cores (four Zen 5 and eight Zen 5c) paired with an RDNA 3.5-based Radeon 890M that packs a mean punch with 16 Compute Units.
A surprising addition to the lineup is the Arrow Lake-H configuration, featuring the newly announced Core Ultra 7 255H. This one includes 16 cores (six P, eight E, and two LPE) along with the Arc 140T GPU, which reportedly hit 4,060 points in 3DMark, possibly in Time Spy, as claimed by OneXPlayer. This easily places it ahead of the Arc 140V found in Lunar Lake models, though we’ll have to wait for third-party testing to confirm that. Moving on, the Hawk Point-based Ryzen 7 8840U provides eight Zen 4 cores and a Radeon 780M with eight CUs.
For pricing, the G1’s entry-level model, equipped with the Ryzen 7 8840U, 32 GB of memory, and a 1TB SSD, starts at $899. If you’re all about the highest specs, you’ll be eyeing the $1,539 version that features the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, 64GB of RAM, and 4TB of storage.
Visuals on this device are quite stunning, thanks to its 8.8-inch, 2.5K display that can go up to 144 Hz. The G1 is also quite the featherweight at just 900 grams, crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum. OneXPlayer has thought of productivity too, by including a detachable keyboard and trackpad. Once detached, there’s a built-in controller setup coupled with a mini-keyboard, which likely uses capacitive input, right at the bottom.
While the triggers are linear, the specifics don’t clarify whether the joysticks use hall-effect technology. For those looking to expand the G1’s capabilities, it offers OCuLink and USB4 ports for hooking up an external GPU, as well as USB Type-A ports for additional connectivity options.
If you’re interested, the OneXPlayer G1 is currently available for crowdfunding on Indiegogo. Remember, backing a campaign is more like making an investment than simply purchasing an item. For those in Las Vegas, you can check out the G1 at the LVCC, South Hall 1, booth 31145.
