The handheld market is clearly on the rise, with the Nintendo Switch dominating with an iron fist after years of competition against itself. But the stakes are already on the table and as such manufacturers are scrambling to create niches. The proof is the latest One-netbook, its ONEXPLAYER Mini, which is smaller than the 1S and incorporates the same Intel i7 as its sister. What news does he bring?
Play anywhere and your way, which is currently trying to offer brands and manufacturers add-ons like the one that incorporates Steam Deck and its library. The problem is, the vast majority are looking for the best performance and the best battery, which has a direct impact on size and weight, but luckily not all require it. For this reason, One-netbook has just presented its smallest console.
ONEXPLAYER Mini, compact and powerful
SoC AMD, SoC Intel, for the moment there are no interesting alternatives in ARM for the power that the brands are looking for, so everything is limited to the two options of the giants to offer maximum performance. The ONEXPLAYER Mini is certainly a special console, mainly because it is a cropped version of the 1S with really very few limitations.
Starting with the inclusion of the Intel Core i7-1195G7, the CPU of 4 cores and 8 threads nothing less than 5 GHz who has a 28 watts TDP able to go down to 12W respectively. Can support mem ory 4267 MHz DDR4-3200 or LPDDR4x RAM
While the specs as such of this ONEXPLAYER Mini have not been revealed in their entirety and we only know what the hardware itself can do, the limitations will be fundamental as to what range the console is in. . We know that it will pack in 16GB of memory, as there will be an option to choose between 512GB, 1TB, or 2TB NVMe respectively, although no specific model or speed has been discussed.
Multiple I / O, heavy and with big battery
As for the rest of the specs of the model, we will find a screen of 7 inch with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels for fairly contained measurements of 252 x 108 x 23 mm, which will include a battery of 10,455 mAh, which is more than good really.
Weight, however, will be a factor to consider, since it reaches 589 grams. On the other hand, it integrates a port USB-A 3.0 and two USB 4.0 Type-C, which is the hallmark of the brand. In addition, we can connect our headphones via a mini jack 3.5 mm.
A technical marvel like this comes at a very high price, since in Japan it will sell $ 1,227 in the 1 TB version, the 2 TB model is very expensive 1,463 dollars.
Also, the price might be higher due to worldwide distribution cost, so when they start to ship, we might find a little markup on this ONEXPLAYER Mini. That’s the price to pay for a high-end portable console.
