Yeah I don't find that the 7xxx series is just better because the price difference isn't worth it for the added AI stuff which doesn't necessarily affect gamers
@@Fusion05 Could be useful in the future when fsr is optimized for using those Ai cores of amd gpus. But right now it ain't. Although I hope to see this get price drop as the 780m will replace the 680m naturally when the 890m launches
There's no big gap between a 8840u and a Z1 extreme mainly because its the same igpu. I'm sorry but the Rog Ally X seems a better choice, cheaper, more battery life, VRR screen
@@jponz85Onexfly barely has any software support. Asus have improved their software significantly mentioned in several reviews. Micro SD issue should be fixed, reviews will be telling though.
Did you just say rog rally oh hell you must never met me before I'm all over online and Instagram too rog rally is the worst console ever I return 3 of those worst ever all 3 of them got burnt out the fan started to catch on fire and the sd card slot stop working too on all 3 worst console ever!!!!!!
It’s like they refuse to just make the handheld with all the desired points. - Full sized analogs, those little switch analogs never work well for fps games. -Oled screen -comfortable grip - Power -proper D Pad. They either miss a few or don’t get none at all.
It’s a supply issue with these smaller companies. They aren’t creating proprietary things like screens. They have to use what exists on the market that is available to them. I’m sure they have a good deal on this screen etc. full joysticks sure valid…but for the most part only huge companies like Asus or Valve are going to create or have other companies create actual tech for them. The demand is there now though and I’m sure they’ll all be using the same 120 hrz 7 inch oled with VRR once it’s created and available
@@Montytheolaila Asus created the new ROG.. and still didn’t update the screen, same analogs etc. valve gave a oled screen and analogs , but lack proper power & 800p.. even the higher end companies are doing it.
@@Zibbybobthe 7840u version of the OneXFly was voted the best handheld of 2024. It is significantly better than the ROG Ally in every way. Better performance. Faster ram. Faster storage. I own both and the Rog Ally couldn’t touch this.
Unless Lenovo makes a new Legion Go with a new Ryzen APU or Valve makes a Steam Deck Two announcement or a release happens in 2024, I could actually see myself buying one of these. I was actually thinking about the OneX Mini with the Ryzen chips, but this is a smaller and more handheld-like experience and I'd like to see what it's about.
I bought a used steamdeck with dock for 300, damn I could have bought a 4060 instead 😢 but wait I'd need a MOBO, CPU, RAM, NVME, PSU, MONITOR, Controller, UPS, cargo case, speakers. 🤔 Maybe not
Hey man, loving the videos. I’m interested in buying one of these and after watching the video I’ve been looking for one with a 64 GB DDR five but I can’t find it. I can only find it with 32 gigs and an option to upgrade to a 2 TB SSD But no 64 gig perhaps the 32 gig is the highest available model? I just want to know before I make the purchase. Also would love to see you do a video where you compare the ROG ally x with this one because I’ve been thinking about getting either one of the two
Would love to hear your thoughts on this vs the ROG Ally X. Im torn, waiting for my Ally X preorder, but now wondering if I should cancel and get this.
Hi ETA, would you make a comparison between this and the Minisforum V3? are very similar with some different characteristics in favor of one or the other machine. Thanks.
Personally, I think the more interesting handhelds will come out at the end of this year and the start of next year. We have on the way: Intel Lunar Lake. Who knows how the longevity will be, but it should bring Meteor Lake performance -+ a few % with confidence to ultra low power situations, like 7-15 watts, to my understanding. (from 25-35 watts or so), which should make for some really interesting devices down the line. I think, if the mood struck them, an Ayn Odin mini should be possible to make with that platform, at probably very similar power draw to their existing SoC or less, and to still at least match a Steamdeck to be sure. That sounds insane, to me, and I'd instantly throw all my money at it, no problem. Strix Point. The performance we can expect here starts to get to older but still relevant desktop chips, and I've seen anywhere between an RTX 2060-3050-3060 depending on which specific variant (mobile versus desktop) you're comparing to, and in efficiency it should be more like high-end Lunar Lake (I'll guess they're roughly similar until I see reviews), so the high end devices with this will actually feel worth it, IMO, as opposed to the ROG Ally which never really made sense to me given that it never really outperformed the Steamdeck until you got to really high TDPs. Various budget APUs and refreshes. It's my understanding that Intel *and* AMD are both refreshing a variety of APU architectures (they'll be under a new name so be sure to do your research!) in the next seven ish months, on newer process nodes than the originals. If you think about the SoC difference between the OG Steamdeck and the OLED, you can think of something a bit like that. That's super interesting for budget handhelds because old levels of performance will be cheaper, and more efficient, so we could see smaller devices or more performant devices for a slightly lower cost than we could do before. I think if any of the handhelds currently available catch your eye, they'll probably be refreshed with the new stuff, and while it won't be earth shattering, I think if you get an SoC in a handheld that's like, 3-5% better in performance and efficiency it makes a huge difference in this space compared to the performance difference in desktop. Overall, I just don't think it's worth looking at handhelds right now when the next 7-9 months are going to be so crazy with the lineup I see coming.
@@marcust123 I suspect that we’re not going to see a Steam Deck 2 until around 2026 (maybe late 2025). Valve appears to be treating it more like a console in that they’re giving extensive and dedicated support in addition to building an ecosystem around it with explicit partnerships. In line with that I think it’s not unreasonable to expect that they want it to be taken to have a console-like lifespan to make purchasing more palatable, ie: to people who have a gaming PC already, and they want their whole user base on a single device more or less (which I feel they showed by making the Steam Deck OLED with the same level of performance when they could have bumped it up). To provide a convincing upgrade in performance to the majority of its user base I think they need around the ability to play current games at 1080p 60 FPS (I’m not saying that they’re targeting 1080p specifically, but that to run future games around how the Steamdeck does current games they need to target that level of performance), which is roughly 50-100% improvement, or a 1.5X - 2.0X improvement, and it likely has to be at the same power as thermodynamics is not terribly kind to handhelds. I’m pretty sure if by 2025 we can do a 30-60% improvement, it’s not unreasonable to say that a 2026 bespoke device could probably manage a 50-100% improvement over the Steamdeck’s SoC which was a low end level of performance designed for 2020.
So yall complaining about this being too expensive yet are buying new versions or upgraded handheld pcs every year even if under a 1,000 but will eventually add up to thousands of dollars.
The downside about onex handheld is the button is so small i can press shoulder and trigger at the same time let alone facebutton bruh i have really big hand and also kinda long finger. Steam deck is not confortable for me but i can use back button for facebutton. Even dualsense controller make my hand cramp
I got the original OneXFly, but I didn’t like the performance or comfort level with it. My ROG Ally felt so much better, and now with the X coming next week, I don’t plan to invest in this upgrade…
@@draco2xx what "facts"? Didn't say you should be able to play on ultra settings. Simply stating that you are paying a premium price for the lowest settings. What is not "factual" there?
Keeping it 💯, this is exactly why I'm hesitant to move off of geforce now, I don't want to spend all that money to play games at low settings when on geforce on my s24 ultra, everything set to max
For these type of devices, I think an APU with a 6 CPUs cores and 16 or even more GCUs would be much more interesting. But it doesn't seem that AMD think like this.
Am i the only one that hates the switch style button layout that most all these handhelds use? Egronomics... Where the analog stick is directly below the face buttons . Dpad placement always feels wonky also since it sits so low that you can't hold the controller "normally" without it feeling akward. For me the PS controllers always had the best dpad placement and xbox for the right side analog stick/button placement.
I have an Onexplayer with 8,4 inch screen. And yes, you are right, the right stick is way too low. But I have the Rog Ally and the layout is perfect, it's the Xbox Layout and feels great!
Do you think the ryzen 9000 series will be better when it comes out? I mean that we won't have to play stuff on low settings and finally get to play stuff on high or maybe even ultra? This was nice but I already have a legion go and love everything about it. I'm not a fan of egpu so I rather have something all in one . Time will tell
At 15w the 890m can do what the 780m does at 28w. Maxed out the 780m is in between a 1650 and 1660 max q, the 890m maxed out is in between a 2050 and 3050 mobile. Onexplayer is expecting a Oct/nov release for the x1 with the new chips
why do you want 120hz screen in a console if the apu cant move it????, beyond my imagination... steamdeck keep being the most balanced price/performance of all them lol. if you create a console with 60WH battery , 1280*800 resolution oled 60hz with this apu ? i would love to see games working flawless with good battery time and good price. (hello steamdeck 2 wink wink)
The Asus ROG Ally (X) keep being the most balanced price/performance of all, the best game compatibility and Xbox Game Pass. And VRR is important, not an OLED screen.
What's to point in buying old arthitecture handhelds at higher prices? That 8840U is useless as crap now that we have Strix Point APU's. Just wait for handhelds with Strix Point.
These Windows handhelds should not have anything less than 60wh batteries. There’s no benefit to any portable handheld if you have to be tied to a wall outlet 🤷🏻♂️
Stoopid portables without battery swap. if it's restricted to 1 or low 2 hour outside use, what's point. Might as well buy a 4x cheaper remote console and use it as you are at home. Just make a battery console that use any camera batteries as standard left and right grips 2 battery combo.
There's basically no reason to get this handheld. The Ally X has far better ergonomics, battery and VRR and software support. 8840 has barely any gaming performance advantage over 7840u or Z1 extreme, and the X is about $200 cheaper.
I've always been interested and wanted to buy ONEXPLAYER handheld gaming PC since the first ONEXPLAYER from 2021 console, but now i'm interested about of ONEXPLAYER Mini 2 Pro and defienitily this new AMAZING looking ONEXFLY 8840U thank you for showing this new ONEXFLY what might be my first handheld gaming PC of all time you're the best Eta Prime! 😊❤
What I find interesting is that there coming out with new players every month, (seems like) but the quality of new games is embarrassing, and people are playing old legacy emulation games with them.... For $1k? I don't think so...
If they took off all the cheap tacky looking branding, I still wouldn't buy it because trackpads are literally essential. But I at least wouldn't think it's actively ugly. As opposed to passively.
It's funny how yall roasting this onexfly because it's too expensive. If you are upgrading to a new handheld pc evey year you have already spent thousands of dollars so saying this is expensive is irrelevant. If you never owned a onexfly how can you criticize it.
No full d-pad No full joy sticks (I don’t even see mention of Hall effect) No OLED??? For over a $1000 this product is extremely poor in features and gets beaten by products already on the market that are cheaper, Zotacs Zone handheld is going to be $800 with every single bell and whistle under the sun. It’s a hard pass.
Does anyone right now with all the price hikes in food and gas and rent and or home mortgage or car payments or anything that right now costs more. Does anyone have the 1000 dollars or more that this might cost you to just up an blow? Seriously? You got the money to just blow on this? You know what that makes you? Either rich or you have been saving for a very long time. Which one do you think ETA Prime is?
For $1000, you can build a pretty good gaming pc. The value proposition isn’t there imo, very nice device though. I just can’t see paying over 800-900 for something like this, when the same or very similar money could buy something with significantly better specs.
Man, I hate products like these because these are just bastardized Windows laptops. Someone should create a real gaming handheld. Something affordable, gaming-focused, and groundbreaking.
Buy a 1k PC, and a monitor, and a mouse, and an Xbox controller if you want it. A desk. A chair..... So on. I don't think the one player is amazing value for money but arguing for a $1k pc is stupid. People always neglect the additional things they need and it's not as portable.
