One Xplayer is a portable console that really hides a PC inside with which you can enjoy the entire catalog of existing games for the platform, including everything available in stores such as Steam. Without a doubt, the dream of millions of players.
One Xplayer, the ultimate portable console for the PC gamer?
The idea of having a PC in the shape of a portable console, that you can carry around comfortably and with which to enjoy those games that you like so much is nothing new. On more than one occasion it has been tried, although never with very good results.
Partly because in order for it to be attractive to the user, powerful hardware was needed that made things such as dimensions and weight or autonomy difficult. And it is that you only have to see many gaming laptops, which are called laptops out of habit despite being really only portable equipment.
Well, now it seems that we could be close to a really and truly attractive proposal for that idea of a portable console with which to enjoy PC games: One Xplayer. This device, already launched on Indiegogo by the One Netbook company, has gotten much more financial support on its first day of the campaign than it really needed. Which shows that it is a product that many awaited with open arms.
To get to know it a little better at the hardware level, the One Xplayer offers the following main features:
- 8.4 ″ screen with a resolution of 2560 × 1600 pixels offering a density of 358 PPI. So, together with a representation of 100% of the sRGB color space and, in addition, touch support for up to ten points or fingers, it makes it quite attractive for what its purpose will be: to enjoy the games at the highest quality.
- 11th Generation Intel Core i7 processor (i7-1185G7) capable of reaching up to 4.8 Ghz when it enters Turbo Max mode and with good performance in both Single core and Multi core tasks
- At the graphic level, it has the iRIS Xe Graphics 96EU GPU that although it is not an Nvidia or AMD graphics as many know, it offers improved performance compared to other GPUs integrated in the processor that we have already seen years ago. Therefore, for its function in this proposal it seems more than enough to be able to enjoy all kinds of games
- Portable Nintendo Switch-like design with two analog joysticks, crosshead, classic XYAB keypad, and triggers
- 15,300 mAh battery supports charging via external batteries when in use and an estimated 10 hours of video playback. A correct data, although it would be necessary to see playing how much he would really be able to hold
- M.2 2280 PCIe storage up to 2TB
- Up to 16GB LPDDR4
- Active cooling system consisting of two fans
- WiFi 6 connectivity
- 2 x USB 4.0 with USB Type-C connector
On a technical level, little or almost nothing can be reproached for this proposal that, in addition, offers different modes of use in a portable console type Nintendo Switch or even a computer through the use of a keyboard that is sold separately and is placed in a Similar to Surface or Apple‘s own iPad.
The dream of the PC in the form of a portable console
For a long time, this idea of a truly portable and console-shaped PC has been pursued for a long time to be able to play comfortably wherever you go. With the One Xplayer it seems that it has been achieved, although it remains to be seen when it reaches the hands of the first owners if it really complies and if it already makes sense today.
Because with services like xCloud , Stadia, GeForce Now and the like they seem less and less necessary. Mainly because in the end we all need an internet connection to enjoy the games we like the most. Because that of the local game is already being a rare Avis.
However, it will have to be traced. It could certainly be the dream come true of many PC gamers. Of course, using the image of Kaká to illustrate is not a good idea, he was a crack but he has been retired for years.
