In the last few months, One-Netbook has been steadily updating its products with AMD’s new Zen 5 technology. For instance, since December, they have been offering the OneXPlayer X1 Pro equipped with a Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, priced at $1,199 on Amazon. This release came just six months after the initial AMD-based OneXPlayer X1. Additionally, the OneXFly F1 Pro has been enhanced with the same Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 APU and features a brighter OLED screen.
New Launches and Direct Sales
Now, it’s time for the OneXPlayer X1 Mini to shine with a fresh version, which was initially introduced on Indiegogo over a year back. This time, however, One-Netbook has opted to bypass its usual crowdfunding route and is showcasing the new device directly via its OneXPlayer retail site. Unlike its recent models, they have chosen not to label the OneXPlayer X1 Mini with a ‘Pro’ tag.
Specifications and Features
Consequently, the gadget continues to be referred to as the OneXPlayer X1 Mini, even with the inclusion of the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 APU. When we compare this year’s features to those from the previous year, it’s clear that One-Netbook has merely replaced the Ryzen 7 8840U APU. The company hasn’t mentioned any improvements to the cooling system either. Thus, the updated OneXPlayer X1 Mini still boasts an 8.8-inch 2.5K IPS display that offers a peak brightness of 500 nits and a refresh rate of 144 Hz.
This year’s version also keeps the 65 Wh battery, an M.2 2230/2242 SSD slot, and OCuLink connectivity within a compact size of 210.6 x 129.2 x 20 mm and a weight of 710 g. Presently, the new OneXPlayer X1 is available with 2 TB of storage, and you can choose between 32 GB or 64 GB of RAM for $1,439 and $1,599, respectively. It’s worth mentioning that these prices are reportedly reduced from their original amounts of $1,599 and $1,759 as part of a promotional launch. However, One-Netbook has not disclosed when these prices might revert to their standard retail values. For further information, please check the OneXPlayer website.
