The ONEXPLAYER X2 is a handheld gaming PC with a big screen, a powerful processor with discrete-class graphics, and detachable controllers that let you use the system like a tablet. But it’s also an expensive handheld.It has a list price of $2099, although customers who pre-order ahead of an estimated July 7th ship date can pick one up for $1899.While the new model is called the ONEXPLAYER X2, it’s actually the fourth model in the ONEXPLAYER X series. The first was a model with an AMD Hawk Point processor that launched in mid 2024. It was followed by a version with a higher-performance AMD Strix Point processor and later a model with an Intel Lunar Lake chip.The latest version has the same 10.95 inch, 2560 x 1600 pixel, 120 Hz display as its predecessors, which looks almost comically large when the detachable controllers are connected to its sides. But with a kickstand and optional magnetic keyboard, that 11 inch display makes this gaming handheld a halfway decent laptop replacement.What sets the ONEXPLAYER X2 apart from earlier models is the Intel Arc G3 Extreme processor, which is an 8-35 watt, 14-core chip with 2 Performance cores 8 Efficiency cores, 4 Low Power-Efficiency cores, and 12-core Intel Arc B390 integrated graphics. The iGPU offers the kind of graphics performance you’d normally expect from an entry-level discrete GPU.Other features include 48GB of LPDDR5x onboard memory, an M.2 2280 slot with a 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD, a 65 Wh battery, active cooling, RGB lighting effects on the controllers and the back of the tablet, and a fingerprint sensor and IR webcam with support for face recognition. .Ports include:2 x USB4 Type-C (power, charging, video)1 x USB 3.2 Type-A1 x microSD card reader (300MB/s)The controllers include hall-effect joystick sensors and a detachable D-Pad.
