they had the gaming handheld that was much bigger than anyone else's and it seems like they are taking one more step in their journey towards a TV with giant controllers on the side of it with the OneXPlayer X1. That's right my friends, this is a handheld gaming PC. How big are your hands people? Look, I'm allowed to make small hands jokes. How dare you censor me editor? That's heavy. It's funny for me because my wife just picked up Dave the Diver on our RG ally and even at that size every time I look at her she's got it firmly planted against something to ensure that her arms don't get fatigued. With this thing you'd have to be Dwayne the Rock Johnson to be able to actually hold this in front of you and game on it for an extended period of time. Look, look at this. I accidentally dropped it in a previous take and it freaking destroyed the packaging. In here we find the charger which is a 100 watt charger. It supports USB power delivered up to 20 volts and comes with a not really satisfactory long USB-C cable. I'd like to see this a little bit on the longer side maybe more like five feet. Realistically we saw as much as six hours of battery life on this thing in our endurance test but as little as just over an hour in our torture test. So depending on your configuration you're probably going to be gaming for about two hours and change and then you're going to want to be plugged into the wall while you use it. I guess better buy yourself a fancy USB cable. One of the big controversies maybe not controversy but certainly something for you to consider around this device is that it uses Intel's Core Ultra 7 155H which has six high performance cores can be paired with up to 64 gigs of LPDDR5X memory up to four terabytes of storage and in every configuration Intel Arc graphics. We're going to get into performance a little bit more later. First let's take a look at the accessories because this is not just a handheld with one X player making this keyboard accessory available which I guess makes the screen size make a lot more sense. Like if this thing's half gaming handheld half whoa it's kind of like a like a little mini surface that's pretty cool. Of course the keyboard is optional so we'll take a closer look at that later. First I want to see the definitely non-infringing detachable game controllers. First impressions not bad they've got a bit of a soft touch feel to them but the finish is just plastic so you won't have to worry about them turning all gross and sticky over time. There were some notes from the lab about how the ABX Y buttons felt kind of weird like it's a micro switch at the bottom but there's an awful lot of travel. I see it. It feels kind of like a rubber dome that collapses and then it hits a micro switch. Yeah it's a bit of a weird mushy feeling. I wouldn't say that it bothers me but I'm not a fan of that kind of configuration for something like a d-pad and it feels like they used the exact same switches. One thing that some folks will appreciate though is the use of these full-sized Alps gaming grade which I guess means they have RGB joysticks and the inclusion of a rear button that you can remap to whatever you need. Trickers feel good. Shoulders feel all right. Let's have a look at the attachment mechanism. Hold on just a gosh darn second here. So you pull off this which is going to get lost immediately and then you put this on and it interferes with your micro sd slot. That's kind of a drag. Also here is a USB 3 type A which is definitely a welcome addition if you're going to be using this thing as an actual laptop. Up top we've got a turbo button which I will definitely be trying out later. Ventilation hole. This is actually a really nice aluminum chassis. The thing feels while heavy definitely well built. An oculink port. Super cool. So that's PCIe Gen 4 by 4 and if you have a compatible dock that means you can run an eGPU without some of the hassle that can be associated with Thunderbolt although without some of the convenience of Thunderbolt meaning it's not going to be hot pluggable. We've got a three and a half millimeter headphone jack and oh that's curious. They reversed the typical position of volume up and volume down. I would expect volume up to be on the right. Here's our power button. Does that have a built-in fingerprint sensor? It does. Nice. On the left we've got two USB seats. No way. Did they really put? Yeah they did. There's no way you're getting any real actual cable plugged into that bottom one. Not the end of the world because at least it does have one that's accessible but I can't say that I'm a huge fan. Then at the bottom we've got a dock interface for the detachable keyboard. Man that's that's kind of weird. It feels like oh it does come off. This intake is accounted for in the back cover. This appears to be an intake but is not accounted for. The only other thing to see back here is the Harman branding. They've apparently worked with Harman to tune the audio on this thing to. I'm sorry I'm having a hard time taking this seriously at this point now. This is hilarious. As comical as it might look and as heavy as the device might be though the controllers manage to feel pretty solid. There's definitely a little bit more play in the left one compared to the one on the right but either one I would consider to be acceptable is not the sort of thing that I would notice over an extended period of time. And what's not comical at all is the sheer expansiveness of this thing. I kind of like it. It's freaking huge. Not only that but this display kind of sick. 2560x1600 so that's a 16x10 aspect ratio. Really nice pixel density. It manages to achieve even better than the 540 nits of peak brightness that they rate it for. And it manages 99% coverage of the P3 color gamut while being reasonably accurate especially if you enable the compensation within Windows that doesn't work great on all devices but does work well on this one and all of that and it runs at 120 hertz. Now the ArcGPU in here might struggle to run games at that kind of refresh rate and resolution but hey don't let me tell you let me show you. I kind of thought I was okay with the ABXYs. They're not good. While the simple mushiness of them isn't the worst that I've seen by a long shot this joystick being right here makes it kind of a chore to press it unless you're really adjusting the ergonomics. And on something like a Nintendo Switch that's no problem because the thing's so light you can kind of hold it however you want. Here you really gotta hold on to this thing. I'm not a big fan of that eight position. Like I'm not exaggerating. If I if I want to press this with this part of my thumb I mean you might have bigger hands so your mileage may vary but not a fan. When I have my hands covering the controller it doesn't look quite as ridiculous. If anything it looks great. I mean it's almost an 11 inch display. This is basically the equivalent of sitting like yeah this distance from a flippin 65 inch TV. But when you see the controller it's like look at him he's so cute. Something friends and family work freedom life. That is so cool. I'm keeping her there forever. Okay we have a pretty close family friend who's deaf and whenever I see my family and I'm talking to her she like does the equivalent of signing like this for me like thank you Danielle because I can't understand you otherwise I'm pretty slow I'm rusty. It's just funny because an audible version of that would be like bonjour Linus. This is running a lot better than I expected after all the issues that I've heard about with the Core Ultra 7 155H not to mention the ones that I experienced on the early drivers when I was checking out the MSI cloth CES. I was expecting a lot more of that kind of it almost feels like rubber banding because the frame rate will drop and then go up and then drop and then go up oh okay that was more of just a stutter but kind of like that actually it looks like they've improved a lot since then but one of Intel's big problems with their ARC Alchemist generation GPUs is inconsistency from one game to the next. One game will run great and another one will be dogshite. In fact one of our games, Returnal, we weren't even able to include in our results because the physics in the game went all wonky. Intel says they're working on this but we don't have an ETA for the fix. Actually what I was playing around with right now was the joysticks basically very little in the way of dead zones they advertise nothing essentially and while I'm sure there is something I'm not able to detect it usually I'm pretty sensitive to them too I'm really good driver as long as I don't have dead zones you can see that right god this display though man that's sick it's not even cranked whoo look at her go wow no HDR support mind you but sdr looks absolutely flippant awesome I bet you didn't be able to play outside with this thing I really like these joysticks one x player doesn't say specifically on the product page if they're hall effect but they feel really good let's take a short gaming break and have a look at some of one x player's software which in the past for me has been a weak point of their systems against competitors like the ally which one is their software oh there it is nice do we have a shortcut for it the you hit the turbo button god I pressed everything okay this is bad let's start over shall we turbo button perfect there's the software we're in the 35 watt mode that could explain part of why the performance doesn't suck because it was especially more moderate tdps that the claw was suffering the last time that I looked at it that and 35 watts is a lot you're not going to get a ton of battery life out of that typically I'm going to be using my devices in more like the 15 watt range unless I'm really trying to get maximum performance in which case yeah you might go up to about 30 fan mode is automatic curiously we found that it tracks with the IGPU temperature rather than with the package temperature so that's good for gaming in that you can be running a game and pretty much immediately the fan will kick in like Jake's car but it can be kind of unfortunate in that you can have a Windows update running in the background using 20 percent 25 percent of the CPU and your tempsal spike and the fan will just stay idle almost this is nice being able to change the reported resolution of the display there you go can't decide whether I'd go for 1920 by 1200 or 1280 by 800 that is that is not a lot of pixels at this size you'd probably have to go with 1920 by 1200 why don't we have a look at the keyboard case now it's worth noting that this is a prototype unit and not fully representative of the final quality one x player went out of their way to say hey don't judge the keyboard too harshly this is pretty early and we're gonna have a pinned comment if the final version that they sent us is markedly different but it at least gives us a chance to have a look at what the ergonomics of the setup will look like with the keyboard trackpad attachment piece this feels like such a monstrosity look at this it's hilarious especially with the controller still attached to it let's go ahead and get our rivetuner thing set up okay that's a pretty stiff click I can see what the Labs was talking about on the trackpad wow that's really stiff okay but it prototype let's try i mean there's some give but this is very usable I would say with some improvements this is definitely a uh thick tablet computer handheld thing oh guys that's why the volume rockers like that it's a tablet we'll turn the auto rotate on there's your problem right there yeah I think that's going to be the minority of the time that people spend using this but I think I found the rationale at least no no okay fine you guys man you guys are a terrible audience not not not you the people who are sitting in this room with me and like acting like they're dead coming back to the software for a moment one of the things that was really weird about this is we found a turbo button in the software here and then we found a second Intel turbo boost toggle in the cog menu here as far as we can tell the best way to run it is with this off which doesn't seem to do anything and turbo on in the one x player slide in menu it has a oh mouse gyro it's smooth I love that 120 hertz display freaking love that uh we can turn it on if the left trigger gets prepped oh that's pretty cool so this is useful obviously for navigating Windows like I'm doing right now but also for playing FPS games because I don't know about you guys but for me playing first person shooters with a controller joystick I really struggle with it whereas when we did that video a couple years back using the PlayStation 4 as a gyro aimer and then just the buttons for movement and weapon switching and all that stuff made a huge difference for me out of the box it's configured to allocate 16 gigabytes of the onboard memory to the GPU in this particular configuration your mileage may vary with that I've been instructed to try the webcam I mean I guess if this is going to be your laptop then you're going to want a decent webcam that's cool it has the ir emitter so that you can use it with Windows hello for biometric authentication and I think I see an array mic there so the recording quality on this thing might actually be decent do they really brand it as an AI camera have they said what makes it AI autofocus tracking I mean I look as good in any place as I ever do it's only a one megapixel camera and no amount of AI is going to fix that much and the audio is as good as what it is right now let's try out crab brave speaking about you I search for crab brave youtube.com bing get good the first result is bing videos with that said this will just play the youtube video and it won't have ads so it's kind of a hack did you know this yeah there's no there's no ads that's piracy line no that's not piracy that's a workaround all right let's turn on the sound it's wi-fi 6e so that's good but not the best very decent not bad actually pretty impressed not an amazing soundstage but pretty reasonable quality on the subject of things not amazing we've got return all fired up now which looks fine right now but we haven't tried to run the benchmark yet give me a second here I see there's supposed to be shrapnel there but instead they're just kind of isn't and as much as this isn't 1x players fault this is down to Intel's optimization of their arc drivers it's definitely something that 1x player has to deal with and something that will affect the users of this device what will also affect users of the device is the performance compared to AMD based devices like the ally and the Lenovo Legion go the reason I bring up the Legion go is not because I was particularly enthused about it when I used it but because it is a large screen device that would be at least closer to equivalent to this one hopefully Intel can continue to improve that because the bones overall are pretty cool it doesn't get obnoxiously loud and the size of the screen makes it a truly unique experience compared to other handhelds the only other obstacle then is the price you can buy over one and a half Legion goes for the price of this thing and almost two allies both of which will perform better hey look it's my wife hey von come try this so you've been playing some Dave the diver on the ally what do you think of the weight and ergonomics of this boy um it's really heavy actually is it not do I have that wrong no I I mean you can't be wrong about whether something is heavy to you I mean I said that you were basically she hulk and that it wouldn't bother you earlier when I was talking about it but like sure go ahead and contradict me just like with the kids I find the triggers easier to hold this one's harder to press but this one's easier to press compared to the ally yeah okay wow I like your screen that's cool all right thanks hush okay and thank you for watching subscribe to ShortCircuit"}
