I'm a gamer, but I'm not THAT good. I wouldn't say that I'm bad, I'm actually just a Barely Average Dude having fun. Join me on my journey from B.A.D. to good, from average to excellent; only the Lord knows how long it'll take! 🤷🏽♂️😅🙏🏽
My only issues with the mini is the 2242 drive (limited to 2tb max) the oculink port is on the bottom which means you have to lay it down flat which covers the intake, put something underneath to prop it up a bit, put it sideways or get a very specific stand for it. Also you cannot use the occulink while in laptop mode. The 8.8 inch screen is great for a handheld but kinda small for a laptop. Now the X1 is a fair bit bigger, kinda massive for a handheld but manageable. It's a decent size for a small laptop and has a full sized 2280 SSD (up to 8TB) only other issue is where the usb4 ports are placed, both right beside each other and on the same side, and one is unusable while the controllers are attached. All that being said realistically you only need one port for charging, hooking up to an egpu or a dock/hub while in handheld mode.
@@chrisboucher2813 all fair points. I agree that they both appeal to a different person depending on what they need (as all things) I just happen to prefer the X1 mini because Im a handheld guy and mini is better as a handheld. Also, the X1 could never replace my laptop because I use a MacBook pro as my main work laptop (I know it's blasphemy)
@@BarelyAverageDude Ewwww apple lol jk Nah the x1 mini is a better handheld for sure but as a laptop, tablet and handheld I feel like the x1 would be better suited for what they are being marked as a "3 in 1" but the mini is a perfect size for a handheld and the x1 is pretty big. Great video tho my dude keep up the good work 👍
@@chrisboucher2813 lol I don’t want to hear it because I own over 20 windows PCs and only 1 MacBook; I’ve paid my dues 😅🤷🏽♂️ Yeah the X1 is the king of 3in1 The mini is a Handheld that dabbles (and that gets my vote) 😅👍
As much as i like the ROG ally x with the battery, I think I will wait until we have the new Zen5 mobile for handhelds. Or the steam deck updated with it and the kick ass battery life
if it doesnt support 2280 im fine with that i dont plan to use it for that i plan too use it with pcie to thunderbolt5 when it drop just like how people do it with steam deck and strix oculink addon hack
@@blondy51091 I’ve tested them both on FSR is actually slightly better 😅 You’re thinking of DLSS which is gpu specific “Instead of doing the upscaling work on the graphics card itself, it happens in the game. Because of that, you can use FSR with any graphics card.” www.digitaltrends.com/computing/amd-fsr-vs-intel-xess/
the TDP on the intel is higher but actually lower... game 1: amd -20W intel - 16W game 2: amd - 35W intel - 30-32W game 3: amd - 43W intel - 33-40W game 4: amd - 51W intel - 32-38W game 5: amd - 44W intel - 44W intel so basically AMD "25W"' TDP is the same as intel "35W" TDP dose it fix the intel GPU problem ? no is AMD the better APU ? sure just saying be carful is u compare TDP alone
That has to do with how intel and amd report total system power differently. But the power specifically going to the processor is what you set the TDP to. Even still, there’s no reason the intel handheld at its max power (35w) should be as bad as it is.
@@BarelyAverageDude the most important part is how fast the battery drained and that is the "BATT -XXW" so intel at 35W and AMD at 25W are about the same consumption. does it save the intel GPU from being bad ? nop... it is bad.
I wish you showed the performance with the native display as that's what I and many others are interested in / intend to use the eGPU as. I primarily play in bed plugged in, I would like to use a 2m USB 4 cable from an eGPU on my nightstand as an alternative to the power cable while increasing the performance.
Wow, this thing is genuinely awesome. It's like they took the Legion Go as a baseline and improved every little thing about it. I just picked up a second hand Legion Go for less than $400, and I'm liking it very much, but this looks better. Damn.
Yeah it’s definitely like an alternate timeline Legion Go. More ports, bigger battery, great speakers, magnetic keyboard… Only thing I wish it had from the Go is controllers that work independently when detached.
@@megaloth1955definitely, but I was actually surprised how much better it feels compared to the big X1 I think the weight balance and size really helps
I agree with other comments, fuck cancer. I don't know if I missed it, but being an rog ally x owner how is the battery life? I'm loving the battery life on the ally x!
I wish I never got the OneXPlayer X1 with the intel 155h. I cannot play some of the games that my Legion Go plays. It’s sad that I spent over $2,300 for the full package for me to not even be able to use the device like I wanted to….. anyone looking to buy a OneXPlayer x1 let me know haha
the really sad part too, is that intel has a respectable showing when it comes to synthetic benchmarks, meaning the performance is there, but intel is just so vastly far behind in game ready driver support that any lead in raw processing power they have losses by leaps and bounds to AMD's superior experience with drivers that have been crafted over the last couple decades. It's going to take a while, but there is a lot of performance being left on the table in intel Arc GPUs/APUs intel just needs time to cook. they aren't fully baked yet.
Yeah the RAW GPU power suggest it should be over 50% ahead of where it is in actual games. I want intel to get ahead, but they have to show me something first.
You say in the video that it is a "Desktop 4060" and it isn't. It's a laptop variant, which in benchmarks runs only as fast as a desktop 3050. It's not going to be the same performance as a desktop card running at double the power consumption, if it's not obvious from the scale. These are made by a company that decided to pair up laptop graphics cards with a small form factor power supply. That's all it is.
@@Backstage_Politician Intel just got into the GPU game Fr. AMD has been making the graphics processors for consoles since the 360. Yeah Intel has a lot of catching up to do
Portability is pretty much the same, Battery is better on x1 mini and performance is slightly better as well. The only category the LeGo wins is having FPS mode.
Thank u so much for taking the time to make this bro 🙏🏼 verrrry informative! Looking at them side by side like this it really actually makes u appreciate the aesthetics of the mini a lot! I mean the form-factor just looks perfect honestly
Good comparison. But you don't take into account the price. A couple of days ago on the onexplayerstore website, the x1 ultra7/64Gb/1Tb cost $899 and the ultra7/64Gb/2Tb cost $999. (Both configurations are currently out of stock). While the 8840U/32Gb/1Tb cost $1089. (Currently in stock). RAM is 32Gb more, the price is $190 lower. Something to think about. I chose the Ultra7. And judging by the fact that they ran out pretty quickly, I'm not the only one.
Cool video! I was even thinking about getting the X1 mini AMD at one point. It's such a cool device. How does the gyro compare to the ROG Ally/Ally X? Just one thing about the TDP: The Phawx mentioned before that Intel measures the TDP differently, and when you look at the total power draw from the battery, you can see that the 25W AMD vs. 35W Intel both use around 45W of total power draw from the battery. So far the AMD it's clear king and the new generation looks really promising. Let's how the new intel compare against that.
The actual Gyro is pretty much the same , but it’s a better implementation on the Ally because you can set it for specific games. On the X1 mini you can set it and adjust it, but then you have to turn it on and off manually.
Intel on CPU are the best for productivity, but on Integrated Graphics or gaming I prefer AMD, Intel is just trying to catch up with AMD. Mostly are their drivers issues tho doesn’t make sense with all the power they be able to push.
I just don’t think this processor was designed with handhelds in mind. It needs so much power to feed all those cores that it just can’t keep up at tdp levels that make sense.
Is this true only for hand helds? I felt my laptop intel I9 with rtx4090 outperformed amd variants slightly for gaming. I do agree in hand held amd Z1 extreme for the win
@@cavemanmoneyshot_6850 in your laptop the 4090 was doing the work for gaming. In the handheld there is no dedicated GPU so the intel processor has to handle the graphics as well. It has a few cores based on the intel ARC GPU, but it’s not there yet.
Looks like Intel is getting lazy. I heard they're having issues with their 13th and 14th gen CPUs. I am glad I didn't upgrade from my 12th gen. I just upgraded my GPU from a 3090 to the 4090 card. I was thinking of getting a Mini PC hand held, but I can't decide which one to get with all the options we have out there. I like that Ayaneo slide, but the screen is locked at 60hz compared to the Asus ROG ally X 120hz. I am thinking of maybe getting it. But, a part of me thinks I should wait for the next hand helds coming with even more power.
@Edgar-ob9vq Our analysis of returned processors confirms that the elevated operating voltage is stemming from a microcode algorithm resulting in incorrect voltage requests to the processor. Intel is delivering a microcode patch which addresses the root cause of exposure to elevated voltages.Jul 22, 2024
@@WOojerVest3andQuest3onMe No patch is gonna fix desktop 13th and 14th gen Intel chips. GN and many other tech tubers and sites have already done the test's. The degradation and damage is done and only a replacement will stop the instability. Shame Intel won't recall, in other news, stock is crashing and faith is ruined. Intel has acknowledged oxidation issues now, you can't patch out a manufacturing flaw.
