What you gotta know
2-in-1s are old school, apparently.
The future is the 3-in-1, based on the newly announced OneXPlayer X1.
Game controllers can be attached to the OneXPlayer X1.
The gadget is marketed as the “world’s first large-screen 3-in-1 handheld.”
That’s a lot of caveats to be a world’s first, but the machine is certainly intriguing.
It looks somewhat like a Surface Pro merged with a Nintendo Switch.
The OneXPlayer X1 supports a magnetic keyboard and has a built-in kickstand.
Those chips are part of the newCore Ultra mobile CPUs Intel unveiled last month.
Intel Arc graphics are onboard as well, as those are integrated into the new Core Ultra processors.
The 11-inch screen of the OneXPlayer X1 has a resolution of 2560 x 1600 and a 120Hz refresh rate.
In addition to its impressive internal specs, the OneXPlayer X1 supports a range of connectivity options.
OCuLink support allows you to connect PCIe devices with a cable.
The PC also supports Thunderbolt 4.
A gaming Surface Pro?
You could game on the compact keyboard in a pinch or if you’re on the go.
Unfortunately, ONE-NETBOOK took inspiration from Microsoft’s Surface Pro lineup in more ways than one.
The magnetic keyboard costs $56 and the game controllers cost another $56 (pricing converted).
I know that’s common in the industry, but I’m just as frustrated when Microsoft does it.
Pricing for the OneXPlayer X1 starts at 925 for the Intel Core Ultra 5 model on its own.
The Intel Core Ultra 7 starts at $1,100.
If you want the 3-in-1 experience, expect to pay at least $1,037.
