Pre-Orders Open for AMD Strix Point-Driven OneXPlayer X1 Pro: Priced from $1,399 with Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, 2.5K 120Hz Touch Screen, and Optional 64GB RAM and 4TB Storage

OneXPlayer has thrown its hat in the ring with its latest release, the X1 Pro, a versatile 3-in-1 device powered by AMD’s innovative Strix Point APUs. Hot on the heels of the F1 Pro and the Ayaneo 3, the X1 Pro emerges as a frontrunner among the first handhelds to boast AMD’s cutting-edge Zen 5 Strix Point APUs, putting up a strong fight against GPD’s upcoming Pocket 4 mini laptops.

What’s truly intriguing about the OneXPlayer X1 Pro is its adaptable design; it effortlessly transforms between a laptop, tablet, and handheld gaming device. In a nod to its competitor, the Pocket 4, the X1 Pro features the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, packing a punch with 12 cores (a mix of four Zen 5 and eight Zen5c) within a dual-CCX configuration, backed by 12MB of L2 cache and a whopping 24MB of L3 cache, reaching boost speeds of 5.1 GHz. On the graphics front, it sports the Radeon 890M with 16 Compute Units (CUs), while the AMD XDNA 2-powered NPU can churn out an impressive 50 TOPS of AI performance.

The display is a showstopper—spanning 10.95 inches with a 120 Hz LTPS panel, which likely utilizes IPS technology, offering a crisp 2560×1600 (2.5K) resolution. It’s vibrant, with the capability to display 138% of the sRGB color range at 540 nits of brightness. Storage is customizable, ranging from 1TB to a massive 4TB, delivering blazing-fast speeds of up to 7.1 GB/s for reading and 6.5 GB/s for writing in the 2280 form factor. Adding to its flexibility, OneXPlayer has thoughtfully included a MicroSD card slot for additional space.

Let’s talk pricing options for this tech marvel:
– HX 370 with 1TB Storage and 32GB RAM is set at $1,399 during presale, shooting up to $1,599 afterwards.
– A similar configuration but with 2TB Storage is $1,499 presale, later priced at $1,699.
– For those needing more, a 2TB Storage with 64GB RAM set-up is at $1,699 pre-order and jumps to $1,859 post-sale.

Equipped with a sizeable 65.02Wh battery, the X1 Pro promises around eight hours of juice, depending on usage; operating at a 28W load, you might see close to two hours of real-world use. The package also includes a powerful 100W Gallium Nitride charger. Connectivity is solid with support for Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2, further extending usability.

Gaming is smooth with hall-effect RGB joysticks, designed to combat the treacherous stick drift. Connectivity options are ample too, featuring two USB 4.0 ports, an OCuLink interface, a MicroSD card slot, a USB 3.2 Type-A port, and a handy 3.5mm audio jack.
