I just got mine a few days ago and it's amazing! I've had a ton of handhelds and currently have an Ally X, Legion Go, and OG Fly and they always felt to be missing something. That something is OLED! The faster performance is def a plus but the OLED just completes the handheld experience. The ergonomics and speakers of the Fly (old or new) are also the best of all handhelds I've owned. Also, if you are into eGPUs like i am, these are a better option than an Ally or Go because it just works out of the box and you always have the latest drivers and dont have to go through the extra steps to get 780m/890m drivers like you would on Z1/Z2 platforms. If you are on the fence and can afford the price tag, it is 100% worth it. They also have an 8840u OLED version for $999 if you're happy with 780m performance. I would pick even the 8840u OLED over anything else out right now. I hope OneX brings back the OnexPlayer 2 Pro with the HX 370 and OLED display. That would've been my favorite handheld if it wasn't for the 60hz screen.
Price tag is for people who want premium products. People spend on iphone 16 with barely any improvement and not complain but for these they do. Go figure
I would not buy anything from any of these Chinese companies if you want a "premium" product. If something goes wrong, you're going to have a very expensive brick that's difficult to get serviced. I say that as a GPD Win Max 2 owner. I took a gamble and it's paid off so far (I've had my unit for over a year without issue) but if I did have a problem...I'd probably be hosed.
@@dgevert gpd has excellent service my guy i broke a bumper on my win 4 and they sent out replacements for free, now if you have to ship back its going to cost but i have no doubt you'll be taken care of so much so i just bought the win max 2 370
@garryw1974 Oled is nice, but tbh the legions screen is beautiful and large. Once you look at a 7 inch screen to the 8.8 on the legion, you really don't want to go back to the smaller one. 8 inches probably would be the sweet spot for anyone, but I haven't seen any that make one at that size yet. It's either way to small 7 inches or huge like the legion 8.8.
Yeah way too overpriced. I get it, its got some great specs, but as we have seen time and time again, handhelds aren't always successful when they are the best, they are successful when they are decently priced and provide a good experience.
It's really cool. And there is something to be said for it being the first one on the market with the chip. But I am at least going to wait and see what the pricing looks like for the new versions of the Rog Ally and Legion go. Nothing against One X, I just have experience with the other two, and anticipate them being measurably cheaper. Somewhere between 7 and 800 for the starting models
Oneplayer makes good handhelds as I currently have a a Oneplayer X mini & they have sales all of the time. Also they sell overstock items (like the OneXfly F1 that won't sell well at current price more than likely ) as refurbished, sssh that's a secret from their Discord 😜
I got the eva 2 asuka edition. Honestly if youre going to dish iut money for this particilar device, might as well get the limited edition one. Other than that most people should just wait for the z2 extreme variants that will probably cost around 799.99 - 899.99. I just wished the big name companies collabed more. If rog ally made an asuka edition i would choose that over anything.
idk if these guys are going to actually read this but those hands on the turbo menu items signifies that its got a more advanced menu that will pop up if you hold down on that key option on the menu to bring up the more advanced menu. Doing this will actually get you some great tuning options.
Nothing beats the legion go with the z1 extreme, most features and just picked up a brand new one for 450 dollars on Amazon before Christmas, yes 450 dollars. Can't beat it.
Just stream gforce now on a steam deck. I don’t know how easy it is to accomplish said task on Linux b/c I installed windows on my steam deck. But it’s easy as hell to do it via a windows web browser. You’ll be running games at ultra settings with ray tracing enabled & getting 60 fps on every game. $1,300 saved. If you buy a GameSir 8 pro telescopic controller you can pull it apart & it comes with a spring loaded extension that allows you to attach it to literally anything. It will fit ANY tablet you can get your hands on. This will turn almost any device into a full fledged gaming system & with this device you can stream hundreds of games at ultra settings via gforce now. You can buy a 13 inch 2k onn tablet from Walmart for less than $200 & attach a GameSir Pro controller & use it to stream. The entire setup would not even cost you $300.
not too hard there are videos on RUclips but also valve has official windows drivers. This is an easy way to get pc gaming running at ultra settings with an OLED display if you already own the device, b/c that is sorta what this one x player is promising only the one x player in question costs between $1,300-1,600. If not, the Retroid Pocket 5 has a OLED & it costs around $200. It runs android, but for the purposes of streaming games off a web browser it doesn’t matter if the OS is windows android or chromeOS. It could be any Apple device as well. I just don’t know about Linux.
I would go for Ally X due to bigger battery. A handheld that won’t last more than an hour playing a modern game seems pointless, you may as well get a gaming laptop with way better performance at that point.
Definitely has horsepower for a handheld. I have seen some people use their handhelds with an external monitor for play when not on the go. Is this usable with an external monitor?
I have a question about my pc build… I’m on a budget (500-550) and I want to build in an ATX Mid tower case, (Montech XR) but I can’t seem to find a good Motherboard.

@crossdaboss8914 You won't say that when you're playing in bed in a pitch black room and all you see is backlight bleed and grey blacks. Oled or nothing.
I pre-ordered pro verson n its awesome with very good build quality. Size is handy n screen is crispier, fh5 runs smoother on f1 pro than steam deck due to high fps. Lovin it
Can the Handheld be used via Power Passtrough? I mean without the battery / battery put off ? Just asking because of longlivety if the battery dies. Thank you!
Price isn't appealing, thats USD so for me in Canada I'm chewed. I just got the Ally X after having the original Ally for almost a year, and for what I play the Ally X really ticked off many issues the original Ally always had. This is one of those situations where all I see is a nice OLED, but honestly is the OLED and very new chip, really worth it? I'll wait for the Rog OLED in the spring.
Some guy tried to scam me on Facebook trading one of these for a gaming laptop. I was like sweet until i looked up the price. Nope, it's too good to be true.
A lot of you will be surprise of the new handheld price of the rog and legion go 2 with this new chip it will not be cheap. That’s why legion will have two different models one with current 780m and a high end with 890m. Expect a 1000 plus on the high end chips.
Something isn't right there... That APU should score roughly 3500 in time spy... I think the benchmark suite is fine but the methodology is kinda all over the place. Make sure and provide the graphics quality settings, along with Res and Features...that way it's all comparable. Appreciate the Vidz... Keep em coming Gents!
Great review. But for all the power for this gaming machine: Software is not as good like the Ally X and the right stick is on a bad position. After 30 minutes it hurts on your hands. It is too small and Ally X has the better grip position in overall
Most of the people complaining are those who likely can’t afford it. It’s not meant for everyone, especially if it’s out of your budget. It’s like expecting Ferrari performance at Hyundai prices ,let’s be realistic!

Or just having a preference for handhelds an plenty of disposable income and ppl online really overly concerned about others habits or purchases. If your poor, or cant afford it, or you think its overpriced (which it is despite me liking it) thats fine. Dont buy it. Not difficult
Yall do kno you gotta pay to play yes other cheaper is coming but.... but notice how the price of handheld pc are going up!!!!!! In USA soooo yea lets see what steam deck 2 price point is because power and performance do cost its just the way it is..... just love how steam deck challenges this price point tho
This thing is in such a weird spot. Has the best performance/chipset, etc. in a handheld format. But the increased power only really matters in very demanding titles, which means higher TDP's, and with the smaller battery that means bad battery life. No problem, just keep it plugged in, or have a battery bank. Except that defeats the purpose of a handheld, which is to not be tethered to anything and be portable. If you're just going to keep it plugged in, why not just get a gaming laptop? At this price point a gaming laptop will be far better in terms of performance, will have a bigger screen, and can also be used for productivity as well, not just gaming. Thin & light gaming laptops that are portable exist as well, not as portable, but this thing isn't exactly pocketable, as it still needs to be stored in a bag. Well, the battery life on lighter-weight games is fine, 5-6 hours, great! Except the Ally X can do that too, for several hundred dollars less. So for triple A you're hampered by a bad battery life, and for lightweight games you're better off with a Steam Deck or Ally X. In essence, it doesn't fill any niche particularily well, or the niches it fills are already filled by much cheaper options. The extra power sounds good on paper but in doesn't really benefit it in practice. Yes the OLED is nice, but that's about the only thing going for it.
Nice looking device but for the price and battery it’s not worth it. Wait till next year and I’m sure one of the bigger companies will drop an updated handheld with the same chip or better with oled and a 80wh battery.
It is not a laptop. Different thing. Yeah you can get a Corvette for the same price as that big pickup truck but you would have a hell of a time hauling a load of wood in a Corvette. Different uses.

£1200 to play elden ring on low settings, 720p and 45fps 😂😂 who the fuck buys these things, you can get a 1440p monster gaming pc for that kind of money....and dont give me "oh but its portable, i can take it wherever" yeah sure......for no longer than an hour 😂
That's the con of portability. For that same price Laptops offer and perform worse than if you build a PC, at that same price again a mini PC would offer way less performance with a Pro or portability and size, go lower again and you get shit like this.
its NOT cool to see a standard USBA port. Why would they put old tech in newer products? They need to phase out usba completely already, its really annoying having to keep old cables when you've already shifted to the universal standard.

If your poor, or cant afford it, or you think its overpriced (which it is despite me liking it) thats fine. Dont buy it. Not difficult
Yall do kno you gotta pay to play yes other cheaper is coming but.... but notice how the price of handheld pc are going up!!!!!! In USA soooo yea lets see what steam deck 2 price point is because power and performance do cost its just the way it is..... just love how steam deck challenges this price point tho
valve makes money on every game sold on steam.....they can sell steam decks at a massive loss unlike these other companies
Glad I bought a Steam Deck OLED.
Its cool but not worth it stick with the ally x or wait for lunar lake claw 8 ai+
Neither of those have an oled which is stupid in 2025. It should be standard.
@ oled doesn’t have VRR
@@theo5675 What? Oled displays have VRR and insanely fast response times, the best in the industry. Some as low as 0.01ms. You're high.
Dude said he's never seen OLED in person...yea okay buddy
so, he has to so you can be happy?
If it was cheaper I’d get it for it’s more optimal size
So many of these are WAYY too big
This thing is in such a weird spot. Has the best performance/chipset, etc. in a handheld format. But the increased power only really matters in very demanding titles, which means higher TDP's, and with the smaller battery that means bad battery life. No problem, just keep it plugged in, or have a battery bank. Except that defeats the purpose of a handheld, which is to not be tethered to anything and be portable. If you're just going to keep it plugged in, why not just get a gaming laptop? At this price point a gaming laptop will be far better in terms of performance, will have a bigger screen, and can also be used for productivity as well, not just gaming. Thin & light gaming laptops that are portable exist as well, not as portable, but this thing isn't exactly pocketable, as it still needs to be stored in a bag.
Well, the battery life on lighter-weight games is fine, 5-6 hours, great! Except the Ally X can do that too, for several hundred dollars less. So for triple A you're hampered by a bad battery life, and for lightweight games you're better off with a Steam Deck or Ally X. In essence, it doesn't fill any niche particularily well, or the niches it fills are already filled by much cheaper options. The extra power sounds good on paper but in doesn't really benefit it in practice. Yes the OLED is nice, but that's about the only thing going for it.
No USB 4 or thunderbolt, as good as it is minus those ports, it just isn't worth it.
the best part of windows handhelds...is that you can install linux.
Nice looking device but for the price and battery it’s not worth it. Wait till next year and I’m sure one of the bigger companies will drop an updated handheld with the same chip or better with oled and a 80wh battery.
These are still 4 years away from being able to decently run games that are 4 years old.
huh???
Meanwhile there is new Ayaneo Pocket with 165hz frameless oled, gorgeous screen.. How many handhelds has that brand released 😂
And it only costs the same as a laptop with a 4070 GPU 😂😂 no thanks!
But they're premium tho! ✌️
It is not a laptop. Different thing. Yeah you can get a Corvette for the same price as that big pickup truck but you would have a hell of a time hauling a load of wood in a Corvette. Different uses.
It purpose is gaming why would i buy laptop if i have pc at home all ineed is handheld while traveling and i cant play on laptop on bed if im in a vacation
Just imagine playing pc games like you're holding a phone
@@charlesballatan2798 You won't buy a laptop bc you have a PC at home yet you would shell out more money for a smaller PC and you have one at home???? Huh?
the screen should be 2K
No HDMI port for that price should come standard
No way, that port is massive and will look horrendous on a handheld. Just use the USB c port.
This clear a luxury product if you have money to burn get this but if you regular joe stuck with steamdeck or rog ally z1 extreme
Battery size?
small, for like 2 hours thanks to the oled screen on certain games at low power consumption, the steam deck is better
@@arch1107 they should've made a cut down version of this apu with 6 cores only but keep that 16cu igpu.
A handheld with more than 8 cores is just dumb imo, 8 cores alone is pushing it.
It's one of the reasons why the MSI claw failed
@@maskedlibrarian1483 msi failed because they used the pos intel cpu using the crappiest intel gpu available on a laptop cpu that will not last 1 hour, that was the reason, bad batery life, too much heat, poor gpu and people trying to justify the 900 dollars it once was asked for it
Why would you put marvel rivals on the thumbnail and not test the game
I'm buying this.
If you pay 1300 for this your a sucker 😂
Yeah, YOU'RE better off buying something else to have in YOUR life.
Some people like how it look I don’t wanna buy a rog or deck n not like what Ike looking at
Spending double to triple for a device just for looks for not so ground breaking performance increase is crazy
@@InsurancePlzor I have money and can do dat 😂 sound like yall need better jobs this is literally for entertainment
@@KD-wc4rs so you a sucker then lol. I make plenty enough money but dont just frivolously just toss money away
Legion Go 2 Z2E is coming Q1 2025 so umm yeah it’s ova fo OxF f1 pro
I dunno why I kept watching past the price😂
xplayer can't beat legion and msi or asus the configuration just isn't it
Steam Deck oled is refurbished now only at $440.
Till lenovo comes with their legion go 2 😁
So funny when the term “playable” is dropped lolol it’s more than playable. Lll
£1200 to play elden ring on low settings, 720p and 45fps 😂😂 who the fuck buys these things, you can get a 1440p monster gaming pc for that kind of money....and dont give me "oh but its portable, i can take it wherever" yeah sure......for no longer than an hour 😂
That's the con of portability.
For that same price Laptops offer and perform worse than if you build a PC, at that same price again a mini PC would offer way less performance with a Pro or portability and size, go lower again and you get shit like this.
Idk man. Handhelds over 800 dollars start to fall off in value.
500$ legion go better option. not enough fps that justifies that price
Only 1080p for that price wtf
in a small screen you cant see the differnece between 720 p and 1080p, complain about that in big laptops with enormous screens
@@arch1107you can 100% see the difference from 720 to 1080 even in that size. Try it on the ally and tell me it looks the same lol.
its NOT cool to see a standard USBA port. Why would they put old tech in newer products? They need to phase out usba completely already, its really annoying having to keep old cables when you've already shifted to the universal standard.
Most people are still working and gaming on older devices. Otherwise they wouldnt be doing this.
my brother in Christ no handheld gaming PC is worth more than $400
so no this thing is a scam
Way too much, I’m the opposite at not good at keyboard and mouse but always good at controllers
Ugh locking giveaways behind twitter
Agreed, why isn't it enough to follow on RUclips?
everyone on here crying about price this is not for you the next gen chips are expensive go with previous.
Meh I’m still okay and waiting on the steam deck 2
My 3050ti laptop kills it
i subbed and followed to the youtube/twitter accounts! thanks for the vids guys, we love ya!
Install the steam operating system and have the best of both worlds
Requesting Gaming PC day 29
