The OneXPlayer X1 Mini is the most feature-packed handheld gaming PC yet

And, importantly, it’s got a AMD 8840U processor instead of a Intel Core Ultra chip.

See, the OneXPlayer X1 Mini is a smaller 8.8-inch version of the 10.95-inch OneXPlayer X1 put on sale earlier this year — and that one shipped with the same Intel Core Ultra chip that recently underwhelmed us in the MSI Claw. OneXPlayer has already dramatically cut the price of the larger Intel-powered handheld, and has just announced an AMD 8840U powered version of it as well.

But if I had to pick between 10.95-inch or 8.8-inch versions, sight unseen, with the same size 65Wh battery (yes they’re the same size) I’d probably choose portability. Unless the 8.8-inch keyboard is really cramped or something.

Either way, I really want to try it, even though it’s a moderately pricy one: $1,099 and up, with early discounts to $799 or $800 for the entry-level 16GB + 1TB version. All of them come with the magnetic keyboard, gamepads, even a mouse and USB hub.

Update, June 6th: Added price and that its Indiegogo is live.
