 Oops. You guys remember this impressive little number, right? Full-fledged Windows gaming PC, got a slide up screen and keyboard, pocketable form factor, hold on, gotta lose my phone here. Bam! Pretty freaking sweet. Except, I don't know, screen's a little small, isn't it? That is where this comes in. Meet the One X Player, a powerful portable gaming machine with a screen that absolutely dwarfs the GPD Win 3. Look at the size of this thing. And it's coming in to crush the growing competition in this handheld PC market. Okay, handheld. Yeah, it's handheld. Pocketable. Ahem. Hold on. Eh. Eh. Eh. Eh. Ah. Yeah. Maybe not so much. But what is so much is my excitement to tell you about our sponsor, NordPass.

This is actually a keyboard dock connector. So we don't have it, unfortunately, it's an optional accessory, but you can see how it works. There's a couple of magnets right there. So you pop that puppy on, you kick out the Nintendo Switch style kickstand and you're on a plane, you put it on the seat tray or whatever. And it's kind of like a combination between a Surface Pro and a netbook. Cause while the display is big for a handheld gaming console, it's not exactly big for a computer. The good news though, is that moving right around to the front, let's waste no time getting to this screen. It is a 2560 by 1600, 8.4 inch IPS display. It's not HDR or anything like that, but it looks freaking awesome while gaming and has a silly amount of pixel density for regular usage. The colors are what I would describe as good enough. Brightness is also good enough. And while 60 Hertz isn't the best thing ever, if a device like this, you're gonna be lucky to be getting more than 60 FPS in any modern games anyway. So I think it's pretty much a win. Moving around to the back, we've got two intakes for what looks like a pretty beefy cooling system. What the devil do they have in here? As well as volume up and down mute, as well as a fingerprint sensor over here. Of course, a lot of the business is up on the top. Because it is a full fledged PC, it has full fledged PCIO. So you've got the cooling vents that I talked about before, microphone, headphone combo jack, two USB type C's. This one right here is labeled for charging, micro SD, just super nice. I wouldn't load up a PC game on a micro SD card, but if I was playing older emulated games, for example, it's more than fast enough for that, as well as USB 3. That puts it in pretty close contention with the ANEO for its IO. The only thing really missing here is that I really prefer to have a bottom mounted charging port so that when I'm gaming, it's hanging off the bottom and not off the top. Oh, right, gaming. Let's talk about the controller. So it's an Xbox style controller. There's your start, there's your select. I don't know, whatever, I'm a SNES kid. Got your analog. Click's okay. A little mushy, I would say. Resistance on the joysticks though is pretty darn good. ABXYs. Also a touch mushy. D-pad, not bad. Considering how bad modern D-pads are, I would consider this to be very acceptable. And this is really cool. So you've got your right and left shoulder buttons, but you've also got right and left triggers. And unlike the ANEO where these are just one, zero, binary states, these are analog. V interesting, especially if you're into racing games or something like that. We've got a keyboard button here, which brings up the onscreen keyboard. Not the good onscreen keyboard, unfortunately. I wish that it just did that, that would be better. And if you hold it, it'll actually illuminate. See, watch this, boop. And now you can use your joystick as a mouse. This needs some work. Fortunately, this is still an early access product, so they've got some time to tune this, but it takes an awful long time to move the mouse across the screen right now. That's not great. I also got a turbo button. Let's talk about what that means. So inside here, you can get anywhere from a Core i5-1135G7 all the way up to a Core i7-1185G7, which the One X Player Indiegogo video calls the world's most powerful CPU, because I guess they haven't heard of desktop CPUs, for example. Anyway, it's equipped with up to 16 gigs of 4266 LPDDR4 memory, Intel's Iris Xe graphics, as well as 512 gigs of M.2 storage and a 60 watt hour battery, which they say can last for five to six hours with light usage or two to three hours while gaming. So that's pretty competitive with other handhelds that we've seen like this, which is good considering the size of the freaking screen. But your battery life's gonna go down a little bit if you go into turbo mode. The cooling system for this thing apparently takes up an inordinate amount of space inside it because it's designed to handle up to the full 28 watt TDP of this CPU. Why don't we go ahead and open it up and have a look at that. Do you wanna turn it off before you open it up? No, not really. I wanna see it working. I wanna know what makes it tick, David. Yeah, we only have one. This is prototype AF. Well, it's basically all cooling system and battery as advertised. Here's a controller. Here's another controller. These are actually surprisingly big speakers. I've got high hopes for the integrated audio. Here's the magnets that we found for the keyboard dock. One, two, that one looks pretty cheaply mounted, but whatever. Well, I lost count, doesn't matter. Unfortunately, I don't really have a good look at the inner guts. I'm assuming that this thermal pad right here is probably for the SSD. I don't wanna break it before we make a video. Yep, everything still seems to be working, which is good. Do we have Cinebench on here or anything like that? I gotta say, the difference in screen resolution between this and the GPD Win 3 and the Neo makes a huge difference. Even being close to it like this, like I would with a handheld, it is just, it's crisp. 2560 by 1600 is a lot of pixels for this screen size. Are we turboed right now? Oh yeah, we turboed. Let's see what kind of performance we can get. We're gonna plug in. I wanna see what this thing can freaking do on a drag strip. Holy shnikes, your PC, huh? She a goer? Know what I mean, know what I mean? Well, base is 2.8. This is 3., almost one. Not too flippin' shabby, considering this is a quad core processor. I mean, do you remember when quad cores at three gigahertz and change was the desktop experience? Actually, not that long ago. It's a little loud, not crazy loud, and actually, unsurprisingly, not that hot, all things considered. Of course, we don't have the onboard GPU running yet. We're gonna fire up a game real quick here. I just wanna see what the score is. 5106 points. That's about 75% as fast as a Core i7-7700K. So like I said, not that far off desktop performance just a few short years ago. Let's see how it handles something kinda e-sportsy. We're gonna start with Rocket League. Hmm, remember how I said I had high hopes for the speakers, David? Well, I did. Hello? All right, the controller's got a bit of a weird behavior where if you have it in mouse mode, when you launch the game and then try to switch it back to gamepad mode, the game won't always pick it up. So let's go ahead and close the game and give that another try here. Controller's working now, and we are gonna go full moonshot here, running at 2560 by 1600, basically maxed out details, uncapped frames per second, and then disabling motion blur. And let's see what we get here, all right? That is a lot of resolution for a device this size. Not a lot of light, though. Yeah, I take back what I said before about the display being pretty decent. We're sitting at anywhere from around 35 to 45 FPS. It's like super playable. How close can you get? Wait, what? What do you mean battery's running low? I am plugged in right now. One of the outlets is unplugged. We might get some more performance. Oh man, the brightness went way up. Oh, it was just, I thought we were in the, I thought we were in the plugged in profile. Oh my goodness, we are getting like 40 FPS now. Actually, that looks pretty similar in terms of performance, but the display looks way better. It's running like max details. One complaint though, something I'm noticing is that the plastics and the molding, they lack refinement compared to the AYA Neo, which conveniently, I happen to have right here. They've done a better job of rounding off the bottom so that it rests in your palms a little bit better. And especially when you consider how flippin' heavy this thing is, I'm noticing even after sitting here and using it for the last like 15 minutes in a row, it kind of is digging in a little bit. It's not too comfortable, but there's something that I also realized while I was talking to you guys about it. The screen on this thing, it's not just a little bigger. It's a lot bigger to the point where I don't even think I would use it like this. If I'm sitting like this, right? How close would this have to be to be equivalent? This is very scientific. About there. So that buys you like an extra at least three or four inches. And you know what they say, three or four inches is a lot. You know what I wanna do though? We've got kind of a unique opportunity with both Intel Xe graphics and a Ryzen 4500U, both in like mobile game console form factors. Let's see how they stack up. I'm gonna run this at exactly the same resolution settings as that one. Also, we should probably turn turbo off. Nobody's gonna use that. It's like gonna kill your battery life. The performance of these is impressively close. So what it really comes down to is who makes the game console design that you prefer? And also some other things. It's a bit tangential to my point, but hey, the USB port works. Transferring to this drive at 636 megabytes a second real casually right now. That's the limit of this drive, not the limit of this port. Pretty sweet. Everything seems to be going well in our PCS3 running Persona 5, which is a pretty demanding PlayStation 3 game. And there you go. Oh, and it's done bud. So there you have it. While Intel's onboard Xe graphics definitely have a lot of potential, right now the drivers have some catching up to do compared to AMD, Nvidia, and for that matter, even Intel's older onboard graphics. For comparison, the ANEO. Okay, that's not a lot of FPS, but it is running. I bet we could get it running better if we spend some more time on it though. There we go. Look at that. Dang, we get in like almost 30 FPS, basically 30 FPS locked. Emulating that on onboard graphics, pretty freaking cool. And I do have hope for Xe. It's just that the drivers are clearly not there yet. Couldn't even launch and AMD is running at 30 FPS. Of course, that's not the device the video is about. Let's go back to the One X player. Do you play Switch games? Ah, no, Switch Yuzu doesn't work either. What we can do though, is we can run games in Dolphin. So let's start with Super Mario 64. Look at that ladies and gentlemen. It's smooth. And 64 isn't the only thing you can do in Dolphin, of course. Let's go ahead and try something a little more demanding. I'll play some Wii games, ladies and gentlemen. Oh, that man, that joystick really gets in the way of what's shaking here. Man, this is a... Okay, I'm actually, sorry David, can I just hold it where it's comfortable? Okay, cause this is awesome. The size of this screen is a complete game changer compared to the ANEO. If Intel can get their drivers figured out, this is fricking awesome. And to be clear guys, it's not just Intel, the entire development community around these emulators has to figure out how to get the most out of Xe graphics. This button was a really good idea. Being able to be full screen in an emulator that doesn't have kind of any meaningful way to... Oh wow, okay, I guess you could do that. Wait a second, is that a Windows 10 feature? Oh, that's fricking awesome, nevermind. Well, whatever. It's still nice to have a button that just takes you back to the desktop. Can you even believe this is like a desktop background people use at work, curl up. Oops. For those of you who aren't familiar, what we're doing now is not running Apex Legends natively on this, but rather streaming it from a gaming desktop upstairs. That's one of the ways that you can have triple A gaming experience on these mobile devices if you already have a gaming PC. Oh wow, is this like actually your account, Jesse? It's okay, if you want to stop any of my gaming settings, I'll just try. Well, not settings, like your record. Oh. Not very good at this game. We're gonna double our kill count today. You just watch. To play a heal drone, how do I do that? Oh no, you're dead. Oh, I'm dead. I'm bleeding out. You're down, yeah. Oh wow, did I just get my face stomped on? Yeah. Wow, that was really fast. Oh. Now we're running on the hardware directly, and the point of firing up something like Batman Arkham Asylum is to show that with the enormous back catalog of PC games that are out there, just because it's a triple A doesn't mean you won't be able to run it on a handheld, sure. Something newer like Apex Legends, probably not gonna run that great. But an older title like this, I have it absolutely cranked. You're seeing a couple stutters and hiccups here, but that is not bad. Native Rez. It's like actually pretty dang smooth. And this is not a terrible looking game. Obviously the textures aren't very modern generation and stuff like that. Like it's kind of flat looking compared to something newer, but it's not bad. Of course, that's before we talk about price. After the Indiegogo is complete, the base model is gonna start at over a thousand dollars with the top end core i7 two terabyte one running 1600 US dollars. And that's to say nothing of the fact that we know absolutely nothing about this company. Other than that, apparently they have a silk screen on here that says powered by Tencent games. So there's a good chance that they will actually deliver hardware. But unlike someone like GPD, where we know that they have a long track record of delivering exactly what they say they are and then actually following up with support for the devices, we just have no idea what that's gonna look like. It's an utterly unique experience though, with the size of this screen. And while I do have some concerns about Intel's Xe driver support in the years to come, it's Intel. So that's an area where I have confidence that they're gonna mostly get that stuff figured out. So feel free to check it out at the link down below.
