But, we're not going to look at that just yet because I want to look AT THIS, THE FROST BAY, a water cooling unit that takes it from 80 watts TDP all the way up to a whopping 120 What is handheld about this? This is a whole freaking water cooling setup. You got your radiator. You've got your Seriously, you ripped off the Cooler Master logo and called it Cooler Doctor? Fill port. Wait. Wait. No. Ain't no way. I mean, that's all that's in here other than of course this quick connect water cooling tube thing. Rotates counterclockwise to lock, that is counter [music] intuitive. Now, [laughter] let's have a look at the Apex. I'm legitimately so excited to check this thing out. It's a direct competitor to the GPD Win 5, which I've been really enjoying. I played through just about all of Expedition 33 on it and I had an amazing experience thanks to the up to Ryzen AI Max 395 Plus processor. That thing is an absolute monster. I'm talking 16 Zen 5 CPU cores, 32 threads, 8,000 mega transfer per second LPDDR5X memory, which matters a lot because of the Radeon 860S GPU. You can run AAA games on this handheld on its 8-in 1200p display at like [music] high settings. And I got to say I think they actually kind of nailed the ergonomics for it. To be clear this is a heavy handheld and I don't even have a battery attached to it yet. But, it's quite holdable for an 8-in. All right, let's have a look at the inputs and outputs, shall we? We've got capacitive joysticks, pretty satisfying feeling clicky D-pad. Ooh, I really like the face buttons, too. Nice clicky micro switch style but with a little bit of travel before you get to the click. I ooh, I really like that. It's almost like a like a hybrid approach. Hall effect triggers that have a hair trigger switch. That's not the most responsive hair trigger switch I've ever seen but it's not bad. Very reachable shoulders. Actually love the ergonomics of that. Along the top, we've got a headphone jack, fingerprint sensing power button, volume rocker, USB-A, barrel jack. Okay, we're going to have to talk about power profiles and charging quite a bit and a USB 4 port that does 40 gigabit per second and can charge but Okay, I guess we're going to get into it a little bit now. >> [clears throat] >> The device is limited to 55 watts TDP while we're plugged into that. What's this? >> [gasps] >> All right. So, the water cooling's actually optional. You can get it with or without and then if you get the water cooling add-on, you can buy the Frost Bay for another $200, which I mean it's not a little bit but it's also not a lot for an external water cooling bay. It doesn't seem outlandish. Also on the back here got a couple paddle buttons and Oh, interesting. Did OneXPlayer use the same battery interface as GPD? It looks extremely similar but apparently is not quite the same. That's actually a bit of a disappointment. I'd prefer they were the same. Along the bottom, we've got another type C port, a micro SD slot and then speaking of copying homework, a mini SSD slot. There aren't a lot of options for occupying this but Biwin makes one and it can be found in up to 2 terabyte capacities and is much faster than a micro SD card. What else is in the box? Now, let's talk about that battery. Woo! She was already a little on the heavier side. Now, she's even heavier. This is an 85 watt hour battery that um unfortunately, at the highest wattage that this thing can run at is not actually going to last you that long. To their credit though, OneXPlayer did what I would have liked GPD to do and they put a kickstand on the battery so you can actually use a kickstand with this thing. Wow, more copied homework. This is pretty much the same like interface. I suspect that OneXPlayer knows that not many people are going to buy this water cooled option unless they're planning to use this like functionally as a desktop, which you could. I mean, it's a Ryzen AI Max 395 Plus. Uh This is new. It's a hex driver. That ooh ooh ooh, Phillips head? Ooh, flathead? Yeah, I think we've got better screwdrivers at lttstore.com. Dude, trick seven is so cool. I just wish so expensive. And I also wish that OneXPlayer was using the newly announced skews that have lesser CPUs but still have the full fat GPU. But, unfortunately, I have to assume that development was done on this unit before those were announced. There we go. Here we go. Not going to lie. I'm into it. Okay, this is pretty clever. So, this is the air cooled version, which costs a little bit less cuz it doesn't include the water block. Right? There's your Ryzen AI Max down there. Pretty standard, you know, handheld layout at this point. Then, you just take the top of that cold plate for the CPU and you just hack this copper plate on it. This will allow you to assist the integrated air cooler by pulling heat directly off of over top of the chip here. You know what this handheld needed? More weight. Apparently, this thing's about 70 g. So, if you're not going to use the external water cooler, I wouldn't opt for that uh version of it. Okay. You know what? That's not that bad. One fan, one piece of tape and I can get at a full 80 mm M.2. I I'm okay [music] with it. I'm okay with it. That's not bad. I think you could get a double-sided SSD in here but you'd be putting more pressure on this ribbon cable than I would be comfortable with. It's not the sort of thing that I would be recommending even if maybe you could get away with it. Let's turn it on after telling you about our sponsor.

Oh, now seems like a good time to address that like the Win 5, there is an umbilical cord option. You have to pay extra for it in this case but it allows you to run the battery separately with just like a lead to it. I kind of thought that was silly back when I did my unboxing of the Win 5 but when I was using it for a period of a couple months actually, I found myself almost exclusively using it that way cuz it turns out that having all this weight hanging off your hands it's just it's not great. This kickstand helps a fair bit. It would make me more likely to care about having the battery attached but Wow, is this over a kilo with the battery on it cuz it feels like it's over a kilo. And also there's a little bit of play in this attachment. Doesn't feel reassuring, you know? Think what I would probably do is put like a a higher I see they've already done it but I would put a bigger foam sticker here so you like really compress that so it doesn't move around. Oh, I haven't shown you guys the power brick yet. Dude, this is the unboxing that never ends, man. Is that an XT60? Yep. Everyone knows I was kidding when I talked about using XT60s for PC power, right? You have got to be kidding me here. One X >> [laughter] >> One X Player advertises up to 240 watts of charging off of this GAN brick and XT60 connector. And is this is this only a 3-ft cable? I mean, I guess being an XT60, you can kind of mod any cable you want, but this is This is not a very good handheld experience, ladies and gentlemen. Like, look at this. I have to get that all the way to the top of the device. What the Sam heck were they thinking putting this short cable on it? They were thinking you put it into the Frost Bay first. Does it matter which one's which? They're not labeled. Okay, okay, so it's just >> It's just literally a power pass-through. Okay. >> pass-through then. This is also not great. This is an extremely short cable. Okay, we'll get to the We'll get to the Frost Bay later. First, I want to see this thing in its maximum performance glory. By the way, it's worth noting that while it supports 240-watt charging, like basically any device, it only does that for a little while, and it especially only does that for a little while before really settling down. You know, in theory, a capacitive joystick is a really high-quality way to build a joystick. [music] Unfortunately, this is about the cheapest-feeling implementation that I've ever felt. The responsiveness of it is great. The feel is not. I feel like something's wrong here. Okay, let's press the One X button. Ah, yes, we're at 20 watts. Let's go to 80, shall we? WOAH, THAT'S MORE LIKE IT. WOAH, listen to those fans go, buddy. This is 50% fan? Oh, you can control the vibration motors? Mhm, wow. This is a really nice little resolution tool. One X Player's overlay has improved a lot since the last time I looked at it. This is insane. Like, sure, I'm only getting 30 FPS, but guys, this is Cyberpunk 2077. And sure, I Okay, I'm using some FidelityFX upscaling, but I'm running at freaking like high. Like here, if we actually went to the Steam Deck preset, okay? Steam Deck preset, 720p like a Steam Deck. Jeepers creepers, 150 160 FPS. This thing is an absolute monster. It's so loud, but so is the Win 5. Give me a second. I almost exclusively game on it using my AirPods so that I can tune out the fan noise. Quite blockable. Quite blockable indeed. Okay, what about the speakers? Those are shockingly rich speakers. It's kind of a shame that I'll never get to use them because the fans are so loud. Okay, let's go to a power profile that I'd be more likely to actually use. Now we're talking. Reasonable fan noise to the point where I can actually use the speakers. Still incredible performance at very usable image quality. And if you're running at 45 watts, you'll actually get like a couple hours of battery life out of it. Or at least I I don't know, it's complicated. Because unlike the Win 5, One X Player has made the odd decision to limit the power to 20 watts for the last 20% of your battery, and there's no obvious way to override that that we've been able to find. Either way, up until that time, it'll be pretty solid. Let's try the water cooler. So, I'm going to assume this needs to be full of water first. There's no real power switch on it. The Frost Bay doesn't have a conventional on-off switch. So, so we need to go into the full One X Player utility, and then we have to pair it via Bluetooth. In summary, getting the water cooling system connected is not super intuitive. Okay, connect. Hey, I think we're there. We are connected. Now, what did it Oh, there it is. It just kicked in. 120 watts, let's go. Okay, so the cooling system is in smart fan curve mode. We're getting 50 ml per minute. Is anyone else seeing that number and going, \"Yo, what?\" That's like nothing. I'm pretty psyched right now, though. I can't wait to try this. You can't have the battery kickstand on at the same time as this, but they do have like a cardboard eco stand that you can put it on with the uh dock. With that said, the way this dock is configured with like no tether distance or anything, it's pretty clear that it's a it's a desktop dock. Like, this is not meant for handheld use at all. This thing is so insane. We're closing in on 200 FPS. Like, okay, yeah, it's turned down pretty low, but watch this. Okay, forget this Steam Deck nonsense. Now we're going to go ultra. Yeah, sure, we'll use upscaling, but we're going to use the native resolution of the panel this time. So, we'll upscale to [music] that. And we're getting a casual 80+ FPS. Holy crap. Freaking smooth. Man, could I even run native? Dude, you could run native 1200p ultra on this thing. That is so sharp. We're still getting like 70+ FPS, and the temps are fine. Not amazing, all things considered. I would kind of think that the water cooling unit would be doing more. Man, I mean, it's definitely carrying heat away. This tube is warm. And this one is cool. It It needs more water flow. And I'd be down to like put a better pump in this thing, get some real water flow going. Like, this is This is so cool. Pump is running at 50%. Like, we can turn it up. And the water cooler is disconnected again, and I can't get it to 120 watts. But, you know what? As I already said, realistically, the water cooler is not something that I expect pretty much anyone to actually use with this thing. And the good news is that it already has I was going to say class-leading performance without the water cooler, but it just has leading performance without the water cooler. It manages a slightly higher maximum TDP compared to the GPD Win 5. And even at 75 watts, because of One X Player's emphasis on GPU power versus CPU power in graphically intensive games, you should expect a little bit more performance. With that said, the GPD Win 5 did outperform the Apex in, for example, Rocket League at 1080p, which is a little bit more of a CPU-bound scenario. Bottom line, you're getting otherworldly performance in a handheld form factor with this thing. Like, it's just mind-blowing. I mean, Black Myth at 720p was what, like over 100 FPS? Well over 100 FPS at reasonable settings. With all of that said, as someone who has daily District's Halo device in a handheld form factor, I'd say unless you're plugged into the wall, it's very unlikely that you're actually going to be running it at maximum wattage, and that's where One X Player's solution for their barrel charger really falls short for me. I'm not a big fan of that. I need a longer cable. With that said, I feel like they make up a lot of that ground in the superior ergonomics of the device compared to the GPD Win 5, not to mention the larger display. It has about the same peak brightness, around 500 nits, and does 120 Hz variable refresh rate. So, there's no real compromises there. It's just a big, pretty bright, beautiful display. We're going to throw up some battery results here, but there's a very important caveat, and that is that, as I mentioned before, the Apex drops to 20 watts when it has 20% battery left. So, realistically, I'd expect real-world results that are a lot closer to what's listed in the GPD Win 5 column, because they are very similar devices. Now, the only question is, if all of this looked appealing, what could it cost, Michael? $10 for the base model with a Ryzen AI Max 385, it's ooh. Then for the upgraded one with more RAM and a 395, it's ooh. Then if you want the water cooler, IT'S AH. I I'M JUST MAKING NOISES BECAUSE they keep changing the pricing. It's actually gone up since we started shooting this video, so. It's really cool, though. Water cool. Subscribe to ShortCircuit.
