Portable gaming hardware is most useful when it removes decisions from the day. It should fit the bag you already carry, move quickly between play and work, and still have enough graphics headroom to run the games you actually want. The X2 Mini Pro is built around that balance: compact enough for everyday travel, but designed as a high-performance Windows PC rather than a...

Modern game libraries can consume a terabyte long before they feel complete. A few large releases, texture packs, recorded clips, and local creative files quickly turn storage management into a routine of uninstalling one thing to make room for another. A handheld intended to replace more than one PC needs a better answer than a single fixed drive. X2 Mini Pro addresses that problem...

A handheld display has nowhere to hide. It sits close to the player, moves through bright and dark rooms, and must stay smooth while frame rate changes from one scene to the next. Resolution alone cannot solve those demands. Panel technology, refresh behavior, brightness, contrast, and orientation all shape the experience. The ONEXPLAYER 3 combines an 8.8-inch native-landscape AMOLED panel with a 1920 ×...

Both of these devices carry an 8.8" screen at 144Hz with VRR, so the choice between them was never going to come down to display size. It comes down to what each one asks you to prioritize once you're past the spec sheet: how the chip approaches performance, how the battery is built, and how far each one is willing to grow into a...

Same 8-inch body, same ergonomic grip, same dual-stage adjustable triggers. What separates APEX from APEX Air isn't the chassis, it's a set of decisions underneath it about which chip camp to run and how far the cooling system is willing to go to support it. Two different chip camps in one shape APEX runs AMD's Ryzen AI Max+ 388, an 8-core, 16-thread Zen 5...

A spec sheet tells you what a device has. It doesn't tell you what to actually do with that information before you check out. These are the ten details that matter most once you've already decided ONEXPLAYER 3 is on your shortlist. 1. Arc G3 Extreme is genuinely new silicon ONEXPLAYER 3 is the first handheld built on Intel's Arc G3 Extreme platform, a...

Some devices ask you to pick a lane. A tablet that's mostly for gaming, or one that's mostly for work, with the other use case tolerated rather than served. Super V is built around the bet that a single Intel platform can do both jobs at once without either one feeling like an afterthought, and the spec sheet backs that bet up in a...

Two inches of diagonal screen size sounds like a small difference until it changes what a device is actually for. One body fits in a jacket pocket. The other one wants a bag, but pays that space back with a bigger keyboard, a bigger battery cell, and a chip tuned for a different kind of session. ONEXPLAYER 3 and X2 Air sit on either...

Running a language model locally used to mean owning a desktop with a discrete GPU and enough VRAM to hold the weights. That requirement is what kept "AI on your own hardware" out of reach for anything you could carry. The bottleneck was never really compute, it was memory, and that's the piece a handheld like the X2 Mini Pro is built to attack...

Three devices, one underlying idea: put a genuinely high-bandwidth unified memory architecture into a body small enough to carry, and let the form factor decide what the device is actually for. APEX stays a handheld. Super X and Super V grow into tablets. All three share a family logic even as their target users diverge. APEX: the handheld built around a cooling decision APEX's...
