The OneXplayer X1 Pro redefines mobile gaming power. With its flexible 3-in-1 functionality as a handheld, tablet and laptop, it surpasses the limits of the Nintendo Switch, although the concept here is also somewhat reminiscent of Nintendo's handheld.

The Nintendo Switch revolutionized the market for handheld gaming consoles when it was released eight years ago. However, the console is now starting to show its age, especially when compared current gaming handhelds. While most current-gen handhelds are not as versatile as Nintendo's console, they do offer significantly higher quality in the graphical display of game content. 

But what if you could combine the flexibility of the Switch with the power of a high-end PC? The recently reviewed OneXplayer X1 Pro does just that. With its modular design, which works as both a handheld console and a full-fledged laptop, and the impressive performance of the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor and AMD Radeon 890M iGPU, many games can be displayed in high quality on the crisp, sharp 2.5K screen. With a docking station, the OneXPlayer X1 Pro can of course also be connected to a TV.

Compared to the Nintendo Switch, the OneXplayer X1 Pro offers significantly more flexibility and performance. While the Switch is primarily designed for playing console titles, the X1 Pro allows access to a huge library of PC games thanks to Windows 11. Even demanding titles such as Cyberpunk 2077 run smoothly on the X1 Pro. In sum, it is a Windows gaming handheld that can handle office tasks, surfing and streaming in its sleep.

The modular design of the X1 Pro is reminiscent of the Nintendo Switch's Joy-Cons, but goes a step further. The detachable controllers transform the device into a full-fledged handheld, while the optional keyboard and kickstand allow it to be used as a laptop. This makes the X1 Pro the ultimate 3-in-1 device for gamers and creatives. A tablet, laptop and gaming handheld in one. Lastly, the OneXplayer X1 Pro is more than just a more powerful alternative to the Nintendo Switch. Its impressive performance, modular design and extensive features make it the ultimate gaming machine for on the go - a Nintendo Switch on steroids.
