The next wave of high-performance portable gaming PCs is just around the corner. OneXPlayer’s highly anticipated OneXFly F1 Pro has opened its doors for presale, with orders being accepted through the end of November, as detailed on their official website. This new entry marks the world’s first handheld gaming PC powered by the AMD Ryzen AI 300 chip.
The OneXFly F1 Pro aims to challenge established competitors like the Asus ROG Ally X, especially with its variant featuring the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor. For gamers looking for raw power, even the slightly less powerful Ryzen AI 9 365 model promises impressive performance compared to its predecessors, and we’ll delve into how in just a bit.
Those considering investing in this new gadget should note that six configurations of the OneXFly F1 Pro are available during presale. Among them, two feature the Ryzen AI 9 365 and offer either 1 TB or 2 TB of storage, starting at $1,099. Meanwhile, the models with the beefier Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 range from 1 TB to 4 TB of storage and up to 64 GB of RAM, starting at $1,339.
Key Specifications
Swipe through to get a detailed look at the specifications below:
- CPU: Ryzen AI 9 365 (10 Zen 5 cores, 20 threads) vs. Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (12 Zen 5 cores, 24 threads)
- iGPU: Radeon 880M Graphics vs. Radeon 890M Graphics
- RAM: 32 GB LPDDR5X vs. options of 32 GB or 64 GB
- Storage: Choices range between 1 TB and 4 TB
- Display: Universal 7-inch, 1080p, 144 Hz OLED display, ready to impress with 800 nits brightness and covering 112% of the DCI-P3 color gamut
- I/O Ports: Both versions include comprehensive connectivity options with USB4 Type-C, USB3 Type-A, audio jacks, and a MicroSD slot
*Note: The Ryzen AI 9 365 runs on 4 Zen 5 and 6 Zen 5C cores while the HX 370 model utilizes 4 Zen 5 and 8 Zen 5C cores.
With a striking 7-inch OLED screen that reaches up to 800 nits, the OneXFly F1 Pro ensures brilliant visuals, lending itself well to HDR and high-contrast gaming. When compared with the Steam Deck OLED’s display, which can hit 1000 nits but operates at 90 Hz with a much lower 1280 x 800 resolution, the OneXPlayer strikes a balance with higher resolution and refresh rate, though each has its merits.
Currently, the most comprehensive benchmarks for the OneXFly F1 Pro come from OneXPlayer, but they confirm what the specs hint: the Ryzen AI 9 365 model is a standout, offering stellar performance watt-for-watt against prior generations. The transition from RDNA 3 to RDNA 3.5 brings refined processing power, evidenced by the Radeon 880M’s impressive capabilities.
Benchmark Highlights
Our early look into performance sees noticeable gains across the board:
- Cyberpunk 2077 at 15 watts: 43 FPS on the Ryzen AI 9 365 model
- Black Myth: Wukong at 15 watts: 58 FPS with the same configuration.
Certainly, the OneXFly F1 Pro stands as a new champion among portable PCs until others with similar high-end internals hit the market. It does fall short in supporting external GPU solutions to the extent some enthusiasts might wish, with USB4 ports not quite matching the bandwidth provided by certain other connections.
As for pricing, the presale starts at $1,099 for the Ryzen AI 9 365 model and $1,399 for the HX 370. But how do these prices stack against competitors like the Asus ROG Ally X, which kicks off at $799? And is paying above the Steam Deck OLED’s more modest $549 price tag worth the extra frames? We leave that decision to you.
For those chasing the pinnacle of portable gaming performance and willing to navigate the decrease in value per frame added, the OneXFly F1 Pro is a compelling choice. If you decide it’s what you need, now might be the time to place your presale order, as prices are set to climb after November. For everyone else, it may be wise to await further evaluations or wait to see how the landscape shifts as more options emerge.
