OneXPlayer has just taken a bold step with the introduction of their new versatile device, the G1. This gadget functions seamlessly as either a console or a laptop, adjustable to your personal preference, and comes with a starting price of $899. Packed with the latest processing power from Intel and AMD, alongside an impressive maximum of 64GB of memory and 4TB of storage, this is no ordinary machine. Right now, the G1’s campaign is live on Indiegogo, and early supporters who jump on board within the first four days will snag a stylish protective case at no extra cost.
Let’s talk specs because the OneXPlayer G1 certainly doesn’t hold back. You can select from several configurations—Strix Point, Arrow Lake-H, and Hawk Point. At the top end, it features the formidable AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 which includes a 12-core setup (with four Zen 5 and eight Zen 5c cores) paired with the RDNA 3.5-based Radeon 890M graphics chip, boasting 16 Compute Units (CUs).
Further down the lineup, the Arrow Lake-H might catch your interest with its recently announced Core Ultra 7 255H, featuring a hefty 16-core combination (six P cores, eight E cores, and two LPE cores) and an Arc 140T GPU. Interestingly, this setup reportedly scores an impressive 4,060 points in 3DMark (likely Time Spy) according to OneXPlayer, edging past the Arc 140V found in Lunar Lake. Still, it’s wise to hold off on conclusions until independent tests come through. Moving further down, you have the Hawk Point-equipped Ryzen 7 8840U, which comes with eight Zen 4 cores and a Radeon 780M graphics card with eight CUs.
When it comes to price, the G1 starts at $899. This version includes the Ryzen 7 8840U, coupled with 32GB of memory and a 1TB SSD. For those seeking the ultimate setup, the top-spec model at $1,539 offers the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, a whopping 64GB of RAM, and a generous 4TB of storage.
The G1 also shines in terms of display, featuring an 8.8-inch, 2.5K panel running at a smooth 144 Hz. Despite its power, the G1 remains impressively portable, with its finely CNC-crafted Aircraft-grade Aluminum chassis weighing in at just 900g. For added versatility, it’s equipped with a detachable keyboard and trackpad, transforming the device into a productive powerhouse when needed. Removing these gives you access to a built-in controller and a mini-keyboard, likely with a capacitive input touch.
To further adjust to your needs, the G1 has linear triggers, but there’s a mystery surrounding whether its joysticks utilize hall-effect technology. Additionally, if pushing this machine’s capabilities interests you, it offers OCuLink and USB4 ports for an external GPU connection, along with USB Type-A ports for various connectivity needs.
The crowdfunding campaign for this exciting device is underway on Indiegogo. It’s essential to remember that backing a crowdfunding project is more of an investment risk rather than a straightforward purchase. If you happen to be in Las Vegas and have a chance to explore more hands-on, the G1 is displayed at the LVCC, South Hall at booth 1-31145.
