Handheld PCs. So hot right now. But also far too small, am I right? What if I want to game on an airplane without holding my tiny screen so close to my face, straining my arms and eyes? Luckily, OneXPlayer is here with a 10.95" screen that really pushes the term "handheld." With an Arc GPU, a big bright screen, and Joycon-style controllers, is this worth the wrist pain?

    UPDATE: The final version of the keyboard we received was not markedly different from the one Linus tries in the video.
  • @Tquell
    Haha, when Linus said “Its not piracy, its a workaround” i got an ad for disneyworld.
  • @tracy2919
    I like the idea of Yvonne dropping in once in awhile for her thoughts
  • would 100% watch Yvonne review handheld consoles, the opinion of someone who's less into tech is super valuable imo because how good something is for your average Joe is what actually matters when looking at this kind of thing
  • @JeremyC
    Looks like a Surface and Switch had a baby when the keyboard got added to it.
  • @slothnium
    You didn't mention it, but the specs say it supports 2280 sized NVMe drives. That is a massive advantage for a "handheld". 4TB or 8TB capacity without a microSD card? yes please.
  • @_ack_
    Hearing Linus say "dog shite" was incredible. Sometimes he pops off a "pain in the arse" in other videos and it's similarly thrilling. God bless Canada
  • @sasquash93
    What's up with editor cutting us of of Linus Drop Tips, trying to look professional much? Hahah, love the content
  • @sks220
    0:55 why do they keep letting Linus handle tech without padding EVERYWHERE. He keeps dropping things! 🤣
  • @racistpandagod
    honestly a gaming handheld thats also a 2 in 1 like the minisforum stuff or the surface lineup sounds pretty neat as a student. it also has it downsides ofc but itd love to see something like it
  • @arvindrueben
    4:31 i guess the device was built vertically but meant to be used horizontally which is probably why the volume up is on the left. Edit: He figured it out eventually. 😅
  • @DigitalJedi
    The keyboard seems like the real better use case for this thing. We now have both Minisforum and OneXPlayer entering the 2-in-1 tablet/laptop space, one with Ryzen and one with Intel. I'd be very interested if this came with a stylus similar to the V3 as I do a good bit of drawing on the road and wouldn't mind if my tablet could also play some lighter PC games.
  • This is the size i would want because i like big screens. I have a fold. I use 17 inch laptops. Two 32 inch monitors. I like my screen space.
  • @dizzystj
    I got mine about 2 weeks ago and it’s awesome especially with the external egpu
  • @Fakeman
    Appreciate the attention to detail on the Core Ultra using 6 P Cores!
  • @MorgFlame
    "Yeah I like carrying a TV around" jokes aside I really like this display I love how big it is, this would be amazing for content watching for long road trips.
  • @lmperioz
    I know almost no devices have it, but I would really love to see an HDMI IN port or more tablets/laptop devices. Love the idea of just having one screen for everything.
  • @Supportik
    I JUST LOVE THE WAY THIS BRICK LOOKS, amazing!
