ONEXPLAYER X1
3-in-1 tablet/handheld/laptop hybrid · Legacy — superseded by the X1 Pro; still sold
The X1 was ONEXPLAYER's first 3-in-1 hybrid — tablet, handheld (via detachable controllers) or laptop (via an optional magnetic keyboard) — and the first Meteor Lake gaming handheld with a dedicated OCuLink port. AMD 8840U variants followed the Intel launch on the same chassis. It has since been superseded by the X1 Pro but remains a capable, well-connected hybrid.
Pros
- Genuine 3-in-1: tablet, handheld and laptop via a detachable magnetic keyboard
- OCuLink plus dual USB4 for eGPU flexibility
- Sharp 10.95" 2.5K 120 Hz touchscreen with 540 nits
Cons
- 789 g main unit alone, heavier still with controllers attached
- Intel Meteor Lake variant was Indiegogo-limited (200 units per SKU)
- Superseded by the X1 Pro (HX 370) for buyers who don't need the lower price
