If you comply with the moveable PC area in any respect, you are in all probability acquainted with the merchandise of OneNotebook, if not by that identify. The unique OneXPlayer made an honest splash when it got here out again in 2021, and the sequel to the unique, which upgraded to a robust AMD Ryzen 7 6800U SoC, began delivery to backers in March of this 12 months.
Well, in the event you’re keen on the next tier of handheld laptop than the ROG Ally or Steam Deck, it’s your decision to try these images of the OneXPlayer 2 Pro. Despite the identify, that is truly a significantly completely different unit from the OneXPlayer 2. It upgrades to a bleeding-edge Ryzen 7 7840U “Phoenix” processor, with Zen 4 CPU cores and RDNA 3 graphics, in addition to sporting a daring Neon Genesis Evangelion-inspired visible design.
These photographs come to us from MiniXPC, who acquired to attend an unique occasion in China the place OneNotebook revealed the OneXPlayer 2 Pro EVA Edition—EVA being the brief identify for “Evangelions,” the bio-mechs featured within the anime. It’s truly the primary OneXPlayer 2 Pro to be revealed, and presumably OneNotebook may even be promoting OneXPlayer 2 Pros with out the divisive visible aptitude of those.
Just just like the common OneXPlayer 2, you get an 8.4″ touchscreen in 2560×1440 decision, removable recreation controllers, and a removable keyboard case with trackpad, too. There’s a separate grip to show the controls right into a gamepad, similar to on the Nintendo Switch, and a hidden stand on the again to prop up the system. However, the display screen is just 60 Hz, not like the 120Hz VRR show on ASUS’ machine.
The removable controls can even kind a gamepad with a separate (included) module.
The core specs of the OneXPlayer 2 Pro are fairly monstrous, too. The Ryzen 7 7840U has eight Zen 4 CPU cores that may increase as excessive as 5.1 GHz, in addition to a Radeon 780M built-in GPU with 12 RDNA 3 compute models clocking as much as 2.7 GHz—energy restrict and thermals permitting. You can pair that with as much as 64GB of LPDDR5X “high-frequency” reminiscence—we might anticipate at the very least 6000 MT/s, and presumably quicker, however MiniXPC did not elaborate.
Also, both OneNotebook did not give a worth or launch date for this mannequin or MiniXPC declined to report it. This EVA restricted version mannequin will certainly be dearer than the overall model coming later, however we would not be shocked if a totally kitted-out OneXPlayer 2 Pro is available in at $2000 or extra. The maxed-out model of the OneXPlayer 2 goes for $1499 as we communicate, and that “solely” has 32GB of RAM, a 2TB SSD, and a Ryzen 7 6800U.
