I have X1 AMD version, Legion Go, Ally X and steam deck, so far I can tell the X1 is the best when I play it at home, but when I go out, I will bring Ally X, due to two reasons, the battery life and light body weight.
how would you rate this against the MinisForum V3 or GPD units? ...will it run Talos Principle 2? Does the overlay work in Linux? ...Windows can pound sand.
Desperately trying to check if the webcam and microphone quality are usable or really bad in laptop mode. Could not find this information anywhere else. Thanks for the comment about the cam below, trying to get data about the microphone now (for office meetings)
@@nemo136p they are not great. The webcam can get you buy if you need it to. Seems below 720p quality although it’s supposed to be 720p. The microphone isn’t great either. The quality of the microphone can make it hard to hear your voice to others. I wouldn’t use this often for teams and zoom calls.
Can get you to run sins of solar empire 2 age of empires 2 de so games like that? i really want to buy but cant find any where ppl talking about this kind of games
@@tlandermc562 personally for me no. But I feel that way about every handheld expect for the steam deck. I was born basically with a PlayStation controller in my hand. So nothing is near that. But they do just fine.
My Legion Go does the random TDP lowering thing sometimes too. Many have suggested that it is due to overheating, but I've tested while it's happened and the temps are fine. Usually doesnt resolve itself until I restart the device. I think it may be some kind of software issue.
@@Damasta360 Not really. For a device this small 64 would only be needed if you are planning on making this a mobile work station or if you plan on doing a bunch of tasks all at once. But even still 32 gigs is more than enough.
What were your temps like when you experienced the TDP drops? Apparently, that magnetic backplate covers the one intake vent (idk why they didn't put another hole on that side). Some people suggested folding the top half down to use as a kickstand instead of pulling the bottom half upwards.
@@GamerVsTech Hmmm interesting, I wonder why they designed it like that. I imagine that second vent helps pull air over the board, ram chips and the SSD if you look at the internal layout of the device.

@@mbalbom yes I believe I only had 3 resolutions as well. Did you follow the discord? You can post your questions there and it’s a great community. Tons of info
Doesn't the controller cover one of the USB-type C ports? I think that's a pretty big negative if it does so you can't connect anything if you're charging the device while playing. Alot of newer handhelds, you have access to both USB type C ports.
@@fruitypops4ever485 totally agree. And yes. I think OneX was thinking people would be using this more as a 3-N-1 and that the consumer wasn’t going to care about it. However, I do find it annoying that it’s covered seeing how only use it as a handheld device.
I’ve been on the fence about buying a gaming handheld. I own a Gen 6 Legion 7i with a 3080 and 64GB upgraded RAM, but it’s so cumbersome to haul around. I can’t get any work done outside of my office because even if it’s running in silent mode, it still gets hot and dies in less than an hour. This X1 seems like it would be great, especially with that keyboard so I can actually get work done too. Is there any significant performance difference between the 64 and 32? I don’t own any devices that share RAM like these handhelds and that’s why I haven’t purchased the Go. Also, how would you describe the difference between the Go and X1 screens? Thanks for the great vid!
@@artienbraum it depends on your use case. If you are lan on gaming and using it as a work device then I’d say 64 gb. 32 is totally enough for gaming. But if you want that extra power for work then 64 might be enough. Although you can just game and work separately and not at the same time. 32 is enough. As far as the screen, the legion go is a little more ergonomic. The controllers are built very well on the GO. The X1s controller is my lease favorite thing about them. They are not awful in any way. But not as nice as the legion go. I have very big hands so that might be it. However, the X1 is so powerful it puts the legion go to shame how well it can run games. And that screen!!! Wow!!! Bigger is better. The X1 is great when you can prop your arms up to take the weight load off. Or even table top gaming. Sounds to me like you’re pretty tech and computer savvy. The X1 needs a little tweaking. Join the discord if you have any questions or need help downloading files like bios updates and other drivers etc. hope this helps.
I really love this form Factory. But IS it commfortable enough for using as every day laptop using ms office, photoshop, or even un Real engine with thé e GPU ?
@@herveschneider67 as a laptop yes. This is definitely the snappiest device I own. For some reason it’s just quicker than any other handheld at the same wattage. When using as a laptop this device is insanely good. Hooking it up with an egpu is also a great experience. I had a chance to use the the ONEX egpu over oculink for a short period of time and it turns this device into an absolute beast. 32gb of ram is good but you may want to go for the 64gb version if you plan on doing all that just to be safe.
if you were to give an opinion, assuming I have the money for it, should I go for this or the misfortune V3? been looking into both and I'm having hard time deciding
@@derrickmoore7013 depends on your use case. The x1 is my #1 handheld. It plays everything very well. But, you need to be a little technologically inclined to own a OneXPlayer. They require some extra work to get them working great. That being said it is a BEAST but It is heavy. However, I really like the Minisforum V3. If I were to take the controllers off the x1 and put the x1 side by side with the Minisforum I’d pick the Minisforum all day. It’s native landscape and it has vrr which makes a HUGE difference with these igpus. If you have a lapdesk and a controller than I’d say the Minisforum V3. If you want a handheld id pick the X1
Just got mine the controllers seems tight fitting maybe they fixed the issue in subsequent batches. I wish the controllers were a bit bigger though they seem a bit too small.
I would have expected 800p to look better than 900p as the resolution increase is very small and with 800p it would be integer scaling, no interpolation, which should overweight %12 resolution increase.
@@crowdofone222 OneXPlayer just released an update to the onexconsole software to allow this on the X1 device. You need to update the software first via the website. Then once that’s done hit the settings button and then under advanced settings you can change the vram from there.

@@JLudwigCruz the thing about handhelds and these apus is that they are not huge boosts in performance compared to other gens. But I will say my onex mini pro with 6800u can even come close to the 8840u. I just can’t wait until they start putting the new Ryzen 890m in handhelds. It’s 30% faster than the 780m igpu.
@@anatomikq possibly. If I did it would only be for the channel. I don’t see myself using that one more than this one. My ROG Ally X came today so I’ll be preoccupied for the next week or so testing that out.
@GamerVsTech perfect! Been looking to replace my already dead Flow Z13 that Asus refused to fix cause of a warranty issue! Just made up my mind and ordered one!
Ok finally got my onexplayer x1. Loving it so far. My only problem is the battery life. But nayway, is here anway to have smart chargng on? Thanks in advance
I hear ya I love my legion go much more than the ally or steam deck. Although I have to be honest, I only liked window stuff because steam OS is now running on windows. But I’m keeping my X one over my legion go. Wish I could keep them both but that’s pretty impractical lol
Thanks for the review! How would you rate 800p on X1 display? In theory it should scale 1 pixel into 4 precisely bringing next to none fuzziness. Isn't it blurry in fact?
@@EnzoMatrix11 I wouldn’t say gaming at 800p is bad, but it’s necessary sometimes. It usually boils down to battery life and how demanding the game is. For example, Cyberpunk, sure I can max out the resolution, but I’d be hitting 20 fps average. Dropping it to 800p on a large screen like this will not be as detailed. If I had to rate it on blurriness scale I’d say a 2 out of 10. 10 being the blurriest. But the large screen makes it very comfortable. Steam deck is the best 800p device. This is second.
Ive got all the mainstream handhelds. Im looking to get at least one of these chinese handhelds. Right now im trying to decide one the x1,x1 mini, or the minisforum v3. I love the way you sell the x1. My biggest fear is customer support. Spending 1k and having an issue with no support would drive me insane. How would i rma or handle warranty problems?
@@justinheuser5676 I say it’s between the X1 or the V3. The X1 is a great handheld, but the V3 has native landscape and a 28 W TDP. And if you connect 100 W or 65 W power bank to the V3 it’s pretty damn awesome, but as far as handheld goes, the x1 takes the cake. Warranty stuff is pretty much the same as any other company. But you’re sending your device all the way back to China. From my experience it takes like two months there and back. That’ll be the case for both minisforum or onex.
Almost pulled the trigger on this one or the x1 mini. Couldnt justify it because already had the minisforum v3 which is awesome in its own right. their version of 3 in 1 is really interesting where you can use it as secondary monitor which i use for work, switch, other handheld units really makes a difference. If only it had more HD and an oculink.
@@kevintan9881 I really like the v3. Especially for the free sync display and the native landscape. Which is really really good. I wish the v3 had a bigger battery though.
@@Dragorus360 on battery I ran it at 1200p. That’s to preserve battery life. Theres not a single competitor in this realm that can achieve this battery life at 1200p resolution. I own every major gaming laptop from over the last 4 years. You can play any game in high resolution and get great performance. But battery life will go down. Still beats any laptop out there.
@GamerVsTech How do you feel about the right side thumbstick? I here a lot say it's too low or close to the edge of the bottom of the controller and uncomfortable to use...What are your thoughts?
So tell me something, bro. People always tell me that buying a onexplayer from China would be a bad idea because if anything goes wrong, I would need to send it back to China for repair. Now, is there any way that I can get a warranty for a onexplayer device out here in the USA? That's the only reason I haven't bought a handheld from OnexPlayer because of the customer support. I would like to know if I can get it repaired here in the USA if anything ever goes wrong.
@@venancioder9288 unfortunately no. If it needs to get repaired it has to go back to China. I’m more worried within the first 30 days. Usually I’ll know whether or not to keep a device within that time. That’s why I suggest buying from Amazon for the easy return. But if it breaks after that period then it has to be shipped directly to them in china . There are people that can repair them in the US. But they won’t be covered under the warranty. Ive had 6 OneXPlayer devices. Never had to send any of them back. Usually it’s just software stuff that I can fix on my own.
I really want to get one of these next month, but with strix point now coming out idk if I should wait but don't want to wait months so most likely will get one of these next month. the thumbsticks would feel light if you never used hall effect sticks. Maybe you have but they have a less resistance feel than typical sticks. All my controllers are hall effect, now when I use a xbox controller it feels like it has rubberbands in the sticks, I'm use to the smooth light feel.
@@Cerealkiller824 hard to tell when strix point will come to handhelds. But I’m very excited because 890m promises to be 30% faster. I’ll be getting the new G16 laptop with the AI HX 370 soon. I’ll have an idea then. As far as the sticks go. I’m doing another video soon modding the stick with tight Hall effect modules. Video coming soon.
@@GamerVsTech thanks great vid BTW. yeah maybe I'll wait a month for any strix point handheld rumors, maybe two. But I really like the X1 screen size, with how onex is I feel like they would push a strix point x1 announcement end of the year... Hmm idk I just want the X1 now lol
@bullseye0419 But can you hold those in your hands and play them without a power supply connected at all times? Didn't think so. And don't try to say your laptop because you have to put that hot 💩 on your lap or a desk to practically use it.
Hey man, loved the vid! We should collab on a video! I’m a small channel that focuses on handheld consoles(550ish subs). Let me know if you are interested!
@@knivesX1 you won’t. It’s a great device. I’ve ordered several devices direct from them. Luckily the controllers detach and usually handhelds controllers are the only things that break more often than internals. You can always buy the controllers third party.
Major pass. This device is too damn big to play comfortably. Deff does not beat the legion go . The average game doesn't want to carry that large screen around .
@@GamerVsTech idk from what I’ve seen not much of a difference and if it does the size isn’t there for this X1 player . The size just ruins it . This is great if you’re at home not on the go. Someone would look silly somewhere public playing on that giant thing. It does look cool though . But same as all these handhelds over time they start playing like every other older handheld
Hey try not to think about this too much but your head moves way too much when you're talking...it seems unnatural to me. This console is fucking ridiculously large. Like comically large. But it seems to run some shit!
@@or1ginalmrsm1th the controller is normal size. The screen is just big. Don’t knock it till you try it. It’s the best, most powerful gaming handheld device you can buy right now.
@@NoName-qd6vp I buy all these handhelds myself. I create these videos to help other be informed on their own purchases. IMO this is the most powerful handheld you can buy right now. It’s a great experience. Does have some issues. No perfect in any way. But neither is any other handheld.
$1500 for a 3-n-1 tablet, netbook, and handheld. Yes $1500 seems high. But the performance is unmatched. Yes there are other cheaper handhelds that can still give you and amazing experience. But if you’re an FPS junkie, this is the one and it’s worth it.

@@zet20055 upon a fresh install, I recall it saying something like 987 gb left.
Awesome video! I have a gpd win4 6800u which still work well on my opinion. Is it worth getting a handle with 8840u now?
nop. whait the next ryzen ai
@@JLudwigCruz the thing about handhelds and these apus is that they are not huge boosts in performance compared to other gens. But I will say my onex mini pro with 6800u can even come close to the 8840u. I just can’t wait until they start putting the new Ryzen 890m in handhelds. It’s 30% faster than the 780m igpu.
Great, I'll get mine one of these days. Are you considering purchasing the mini version?
@@anatomikq possibly. If I did it would only be for the channel. I don’t see myself using that one more than this one. My ROG Ally X came today so I’ll be preoccupied for the next week or so testing that out.
I would get this as a laptop and have it connect on a different controller.
@@blackastranyx6532 I have been playing with a ps5 controller. It’s an absolute beast.
@GamerVsTech perfect! Been looking to replace my already dead Flow Z13 that Asus refused to fix cause of a warranty issue! Just made up my mind and ordered one!
Ok finally got my onexplayer x1. Loving it so far. My only problem is the battery life. But nayway, is here anway to have smart chargng on? Thanks in advance
I had Ally X, this one, and Lego for a while and tested them thoroughly. Kept the X1.
I hear ya I love my legion go much more than the ally or steam deck. Although I have to be honest, I only liked window stuff because steam OS is now running on windows. But I’m keeping my X one over my legion go. Wish I could keep them both but that’s pretty impractical lol
You really summed up my thoughts with, “It’s kinda shitty, but pretty damn awesome at the same time.”
@@doolittle_ hahaha. Love it. Thank you.
Thanks for the review! How would you rate 800p on X1 display? In theory it should scale 1 pixel into 4 precisely bringing next to none fuzziness. Isn't it blurry in fact?
@@EnzoMatrix11 I wouldn’t say gaming at 800p is bad, but it’s necessary sometimes. It usually boils down to battery life and how demanding the game is. For example, Cyberpunk, sure I can max out the resolution, but I’d be hitting 20 fps average. Dropping it to 800p on a large screen like this will not be as detailed. If I had to rate it on blurriness scale I’d say a 2 out of 10. 10 being the blurriest. But the large screen makes it very comfortable. Steam deck is the best 800p device. This is second.
try integer scaling in amd adrenaline + sharpness. clarity is higher .@@GamerVsTech
I passed on this because of the button positioning with the right analog
Ive got all the mainstream handhelds. Im looking to get at least one of these chinese handhelds. Right now im trying to decide one the x1,x1 mini, or the minisforum v3.
I love the way you sell the x1. My biggest fear is customer support. Spending 1k and having an issue with no support would drive me insane. How would i rma or handle warranty problems?
@@justinheuser5676 I say it’s between the X1 or the V3. The X1 is a great handheld, but the V3 has native landscape and a 28 W TDP. And if you connect 100 W or 65 W power bank to the V3 it’s pretty damn awesome, but as far as handheld goes, the x1 takes the cake. Warranty stuff is pretty much the same as any other company. But you’re sending your device all the way back to China. From my experience it takes like two months there and back. That’ll be the case for both minisforum or onex.
Almost pulled the trigger on this one or the x1 mini. Couldnt justify it because already had the minisforum v3 which is awesome in its own right. their version of 3 in 1 is really interesting where you can use it as secondary monitor which i use for work, switch, other handheld units really makes a difference. If only it had more HD and an oculink.
@@kevintan9881 I really like the v3. Especially for the free sync display and the native landscape. Which is really really good. I wish the v3 had a bigger battery though.
Amazing? run all games in low resolution? Then why even buy it if we can't play in high resolution?
@@Dragorus360 on battery I ran it at 1200p. That’s to preserve battery life. Theres not a single competitor in this realm that can achieve this battery life at 1200p resolution. I own every major gaming laptop from over the last 4 years. You can play any game in high resolution and get great performance. But battery life will go down. Still beats any laptop out there.
@@GamerVsTech Sweet for me, when I play, I want max power and always plug it in.
Higher resolution adds more pixel density which helps when rendering lower resolution. Also higher resolution good for desktop too
@GamerVsTech How do you feel about the right side thumbstick? I here a lot say it's too low or close to the edge of the bottom of the controller and uncomfortable to use...What are your thoughts?
@@Dragorus360 it could be better positioned but I Don’t notice anything while using it
Please provide a tutorial to adjust the resolutions, thank you
Good thing with the controllers is they could be upgraded later for sure if they make some pro version
@@rush48192 totally
So tell me something, bro. People always tell me that buying a onexplayer from China would be a bad idea because if anything goes wrong, I would need to send it back to China for repair. Now, is there any way that I can get a warranty for a onexplayer device out here in the USA? That's the only reason I haven't bought a handheld from OnexPlayer because of the customer support. I would like to know if I can get it repaired here in the USA if anything ever goes wrong.
@@venancioder9288 unfortunately no. If it needs to get repaired it has to go back to China. I’m more worried within the first 30 days. Usually I’ll know whether or not to keep a device within that time. That’s why I suggest buying from Amazon for the easy return. But if it breaks after that period then it has to be shipped directly to them in china . There are people that can repair them in the US. But they won’t be covered under the warranty. Ive had 6 OneXPlayer devices. Never had to send any of them back. Usually it’s just software stuff that I can fix on my own.
I really want to get one of these next month, but with strix point now coming out idk if I should wait but don't want to wait months so most likely will get one of these next month. the thumbsticks would feel light if you never used hall effect sticks. Maybe you have but they have a less resistance feel than typical sticks. All my controllers are hall effect, now when I use a xbox controller it feels like it has rubberbands in the sticks, I'm use to the smooth light feel.
@@Cerealkiller824 hard to tell when strix point will come to handhelds. But I’m very excited because 890m promises to be 30% faster. I’ll be getting the new G16 laptop with the AI HX 370 soon. I’ll have an idea then.
As far as the sticks go. I’m doing another video soon modding the stick with tight Hall effect modules. Video coming soon.
@@GamerVsTech thanks great vid BTW. yeah maybe I'll wait a month for any strix point handheld rumors, maybe two. But I really like the X1 screen size, with how onex is I feel like they would push a strix point x1 announcement end of the year... Hmm idk I just want the X1 now lol
@@Cerealkiller824 it’s a great device
Not a handheld but definitely awesome. It's a surface pro on which you can play games.
@@bullseye0419 lol I mean technically it can be a handheld. It’s just really heavy. I’ve put in hours. But definitely not the most comfortable device.
You can hold it in your hands. It's a handheld.
@@BigMacWitCheez i can hold my tower desktop and my laptop in my hand. By your definition they're also handhelds :)
@bullseye0419 But can you hold those in your hands and play them without a power supply connected at all times? Didn't think so. And don't try to say your laptop because you have to put that hot 💩 on your lap or a desk to practically use it.
@@BigMacWitCheez everything needs a power supply and a battery. So that argument doesn't hold.
The analog layout is so bad
@@Androbench this controller is not my favorite. But the performance is amazing.
yes, how much money will you sell it in the future for this device? OneXPlayer X1 8840u
lf you want it sell it
@@orez1236 not sure. Resale on any device is bad. I’ll be holding onto this one for a while.
@@GamerVsTech When the time comes 2025 lf you want it sell it
how does your videos get more views than me I'm so mind blown right now lol
@@MCVAMP666 lol. This video doesn’t even have that much. Got like 34k on the g14 video.
@@GamerVsTech that's really amazing I love it keep doing good work too P.S. I hate rog rally too I return 3 of those back to best buy.
Hey man, loved the vid! We should collab on a video! I’m a small channel that focuses on handheld consoles(550ish subs). Let me know if you are interested!
@@HandheldHorizon let’s go!
First again!
@@knivesX1 hell ya thank you
I got mine on order, I went through their store, since it was almost $300 cheaper. Let’s hope I don’t regret it lol
@@knivesX1 you won’t. It’s a great device. I’ve ordered several devices direct from them. Luckily the controllers detach and usually handhelds controllers are the only things that break more often than internals. You can always buy the controllers third party.
Major pass. This device is too damn big to play comfortably. Deff does not beat the legion go . The average game doesn't want to carry that large screen around .
@@MostDopeVisuals I can see that. It is big. But it certainly demolishes the legion go in performance.
@@GamerVsTech idk from what I’ve seen not much of a difference and if it does the size isn’t there for this X1 player . The size just ruins it . This is great if you’re at home not on the go. Someone would look silly somewhere public playing on that giant thing. It does look cool though . But same as all these handhelds over time they start playing like every other older handheld
Looks like its trying to compensate for something.
The price. 1400$
Hey try not to think about this too much but your head moves way too much when you're talking...it seems unnatural to me. This console is fucking ridiculously large. Like comically large. But it seems to run some shit!
@@godnah I’ll try to work on that.
That is an ugly device whats going on with the big screen small handles
@@or1ginalmrsm1th the controller is normal size. The screen is just big. Don’t knock it till you try it. It’s the best, most powerful gaming handheld device you can buy right now.
@@GamerVsTech yeah however that wouldn't bother me being the most powerful as I want practicality aswell it just seems odd to me
"Playing for more than an hour"... I used to play on my steam deck for 8 hours without charging.
@@BlobBlobkins you’re totally right. The steam deck is king for battery life. But not nearly as powerful as
Can you play any of the games he tested for 8 hours? I’d not, not a valid point.
@@knivesX1 that he mentioned 4 hours easy on oled
ewwww wtf is this?? How much did they pay you?
@@NoName-qd6vp I buy all these handhelds myself. I create these videos to help other be informed on their own purchases. IMO this is the most powerful handheld you can buy right now. It’s a great experience. Does have some issues. No perfect in any way. But neither is any other handheld.
1500$ tablet.
$1500 for a 3-n-1 tablet, netbook, and handheld. Yes $1500 seems high. But the performance is unmatched. Yes there are other cheaper handhelds that can still give you and amazing experience. But if you’re an FPS junkie, this is the one and it’s worth it.
That's a crazy price lol. I just bought one for 989. Not much more ally x and offers more.
TL;DW - its not
@@SteamFlow too bad. It is.
@@GamerVsTech facts 🤟🏻
@@GamerVsTechna this thing is trash
The Intel variant is trash.
@@wandilemkhize9455 the analog placement is not comfortable to use as a handheld
