The ONEXPLAYER is another Windows handheld styled on the Nintendo Switch and Switch Lite. The device has an Intel Tiger Lake processor, Iris Xe iGPUs and a 2,560 x 1,600 IPS display. One-netbook will bring the ONEXPLAYER to Indiegogo next week for US$1,059 with a hefty discount for early backers.

One-netbook announced the ONEXPLAYER in March, but it has taken until now for the company to reveal how one could order it. Starting on Monday, May 10 at 16:00 UTC, the ONEXPLAYER will be available to back on crowdfunding website Indiegogo. While there is no guarantee with crowdfunding that you will receive your contribution, One-netbook is an established company with a reputation for producing compact Windows machines.

The ONEXPLAYER will be available with a choice of three Intel Tiger Lake-U series processors: the Core i5-1135G7, Core i7-1165G7 and Core i7-1185G7. Unsurprisingly, One-netbook offers these processors with different memory configurations, which are as follows:

Super Early Bird Early Bird IGG price Retail price
Intel i5-1135G7
16 GB RAM/512 GB SSD
US$819 US$879 US$899 US$1059
Intel i7-1165G7

US$899 US$959 US$999 US$1159
Intel i7-1185G7
16 GB RAM/ 2 TB SSD
US$1499 N/A N/A N/A

All models come with an 8.4-inch touchscreen display that operates in a 16:10 aspect ratio at 2,560 x 1,600 pixels. Typically, we would applaud manufacturers for using 1600p and 16:10 displays in their devices, but the ONEXPLAYER's GPU will struggle to run triple-A games at this resolution. Additionally, you will need to drop the resolution to 1,280 x 800 to game natively, which may look rather low resolution. A 1600p display will also eat through battery life, even with a 60 Wh battery. Ultimately, the AYA NEO and GPD Win 3 may perform better on account of their lower resolution displays.
