OneXPlayer is on the brink of unveiling its latest gaming handheld, the X1 Air, with an exciting set of features poised to capture the attention of gaming enthusiasts. The X1 Air will be powered by the high-performance Intel Core Ultra 7 258V processor from the esteemed Lunar Lake lineup. Accompanied by the Arc 140V integrated GPU and a robust 32 GB of LPDDR5x RAM, this device promises superior speed and efficiency.
Initial analyses suggest that the iGPU slightly outperforms the Radeon 890M, positioning the X1 Air as a more capable contender compared to the Ryzen Z2 Extreme and AI 9 HX 370 gaming handhelds.
The teaser gives insight into the X1 Air’s versatile design, mirroring its predecessors in the X1 series by functioning as a 3-in-1 device. Whether used as a gaming handheld with detachable controllers, a tablet, or a laptop with a keyboard accessory, its adaptability is one of its strongest appeals.
Constructed with a lightweight aluminum chassis, the device exudes a high-end feel. While the full port configuration wasn’t entirely revealed, the teaser confirms the inclusion of two USB4 ports but leaves out details about an OCuLink port, which is often preferred for eGPU setups.
The X1 Air will boast a 10.95-inch display with a “2.5K” resolution, likely similar to the panel in the X1 Pro. A noteworthy enhancement comes in the form of a 72 Wh battery, a step up from the 65.02 Wh battery of its predecessor, promising longer gaming sessions without frequent recharges.
Design-wise, the device maintains the sleek aesthetics of the X1 series, complete with a built-in adjustable kickstand for convenient tabletop use. Highlighted features also include PCIe 4.0 storage and eye-catching RGB lighting.
With expectations high, OneXPlayer plans to unveil more about this enticing gaming handheld soon. Stay tuned for additional updates as they continue to roll out.
