This is the kind of honest review we need, not just a bed of roses and then finding the truth oneselve!
in my opinion, this video is a thousand times better than the ETA prime one.
ETA prime is terribly biased, unfortunately. He is avoiding saying anything wrong to not lose sponsors. It is fine to watch, but I would never take his word as a valid reason to buy anything.
Why you talking about that? 😂
@@KosmatyWilczekYep. I remember his "Intel Arc the Ultimate 1440p GPU that he uploaded and deleted.
Think about it, what content does he produce?
He only overviews(not review) gadgets that he obtains from various often Chinese companies.
All of his videos from the last 4 months are all the same, but insert a new device.
His channel is literally a freelance advertisement page.
eta prime every product is best of the best , never try nowdays his channel 😂😂
Overly nitpick-y and ever-critical reviews are just as bad as "paid" over-positive ones. Also, while I don't care about ETA, this toxic-dogpiling is obnoxious and uncalled for, you can like something without necessarily crapping over someone else.
You hit the nail on the head. The customer support is crap and just pushed all the blame away or refused to acknowledge there is a problem with their devices.
ETA is known to be a shill so take it with a grain of salt
Yep, if a TH-camr has 99% of only good things to say, then don't trust them.
Nothing is perfect, there will always be flaws, and it should be pointed out.
Thanks for bringing this up. i was about to purchase this one. Now it changed my mind after watching your review on this unit. Please continue to produce more content like this! I subscribe and liked this video. will wait for more of your future video review!
Thank you for the honest review. I hope they fix these issues with the mini
I’m so glad I canceled my preorder. I’m sorry you having these issues bruh.
Just get the Ally X, bro. Or if you want a big screen get the Legion Go or Steam Deck OLED.
@Cenkolino Got the Deck Oled a week now and it is amazing for having a console experience, but with my pc games too. Hassle free and took a small amount of time to get PSP games and Epic games on, so it is perfect (can't see myself using a windows handheld with all the windows hassle with it, which is why Steam OS is nice).
Damn. Thanks bro. I was really considering this little guy. Too many cons compared to pros. Please do Minus Forum V3 next
I have loved my Legion Go so far. when I saw this device I was jealous. Thank goodness I saw this review before I had more thoughts of getting this.
thanks for your video, I am planning to buy x1 mini and will reconsider once more
Very good video, please further in such quality
Wonderful content sir. You definitely have me subscribed!
Great video!! Love your humors and the structure of your video, please keep it coming. I subscribed already. I emailed their support to express my disappointment of putting Intel ARC in it, they replied me yesterday saying that they don't have much details yet but the X1 with 8840U version is coming soon. Looking forward to seeing your review on that, if they ever release it. I really like X1 concept as per my use case, I really use it as a laptop and tablet more than gaming. Even gaming, I play with mouse and keyboard most of the time. For controller, I don't find it to be too much concerned since I could always replace the original one with any bluetooth or wired controllers I want.
Yeah, concept is amazing, but most probably i'll wait for the next generation of it
@@trysometech52 true. I am actually waiting for the next Gen APU to fully replace my eGPU coz I use eGPU for work, but the next gen Strix Point Halo seems to be powerful enough so hopefully they can release something like 11” tablet with the next gen APU.
1xp already posted pre-sales and IGG for X1 8840U, are you going to get it and review? I ordered from the official site, can't wait to have my hands on it and compare it with my Legion Go.
@@hksduhksdu I don't believe this company. Not worth to risk $1000+.
After all this time they still not released fixes for the problems that I had with it.
Let me know what do you think about it once it delivered, maybe AMD version is not so bad after all.
Interesting video man! Looks like an interesting product but its trying to do a lot at once haha :D
amazing video friend!
Subscribed. Thank you for sharing. I almost pre-ordered this device but purchased the Lenovo Go which is an awesome device. After this video I believe onexplayer has lost a lot of potential customers in their future devices. I am certainly one of them.
What an awesome video brother, phewwwwww i preordered the all in one package with highest specifications but the delivery time was way too long so i cancelled the order back in the day. Man im so glad that i cancelled my order, especially after i saw your video. Ofcourse i feel bad for people like you who experienced in such a bad way.. I hope you guys will be able to get a refund or something. This is a ridiculous support... Crazy...
Thanks for your video. I've been waiting for the ultimate handheld ever since i saw the rog ally released, i really did think X1 was the one but maybe not. I know it wont be likely due to your problems you have had, but would you do a review on the new AMD model when that releases?
The AMD model might be better, but for now I don't think I would risk my money anymore.
Beta products thrown to the customers to be debuged and frustrated... Thanks for the honest review
You just saved me a tonne of worry!
Very detailed video. I want to ask about eGPU. Want to get ONEXGPU for my UM790 Pro. Does it will work like that too or with AMD it's more stable?
It was pretty stable when I used my Thunderbolt eGPU with the Legion Go. But I still think it's not an Intel problem, but rather a device power management problem.
Also if you don't need m.2. SSD from ONEXGPU, take a look at GPD G1, it has build in PSU and way more portable. And both of them will be noisy :D
@@trysometech52 I will be using m.2 slot to put oculink adapter so I need extra SSD storage. So I'm really confused what to get. Also ONEXGPU now on sale on Aliexpress till June 7 and with my coupon and extra coins can get it for $507 only. So I really don't know what to choose. Yes, GPD G1 more compact but no SSD slot and most important IO's on the front side.
I haven't used any of them, so it's better for you to decide.
Also, just curious, Why don't you want to build a mini-itx PC at this point?
I was considering this, as I love this concept of multifunctional devices. In the end I got a Minisforum V3. The X1 mini seems interesting with it's 'accessible' M2 slot.
How has the V3 been for you so far? The lack of the Oculink port (I think) is what pushed me towards the X1, but I really would have waited for the AMD X1 mini variant if I had known it was going to come out soon...
@@Magnosummit I haven't been using it that much as I'm busy with a work project and I don't want to transition to another device. It seems fine. A bit thicker than I expected but the performance seems to be there. I'd been looking at upgrading from the Steam Deck for a while, considering Legion Go, mini PCs etc. On paper, this v3 seemed to be like a Legion Go on steroids, plus capable of being a work device too. My only gripe so far is that the battery drain at rest/sleep seems higher than I expected, there's probably a setting somewhere to set.
I like the idea of oculink for 'maximizing' gpus and getting rid of one bottleneck, but then the occasional gaming that I do probably wouldn't tax a decent TB eGPU anyway. I did assemble an aliexpress oculink gpu that I managed to get working with my Hades Canyon with non-working TB ports. Which is nice.
@@choboutube I hope it handles whatever you need well. I can confirm, in the 3 hours or so that I've used the Intel equipped X1, I think I can get by with it. Time will tell, but I got it to be a portable device with a sufficiently sized screen for gaming (compared to my Win 4 with a 6 inch screen). I don't intend for this to be used as an all around device like how a PC would be.
Just saved me £2000 thank you 🙏
Thanks. I will not buy the Mini
i backed this one and canceld and now thinking of the AMD version. Think it will be better than this one? Hope they used all the x1 intel buyers to make the x1 and better. What are your thoughts on the X1 mini and X1 with a 8840 u and 32gb of ram?
I was thinking of it but I don’t it has anything to do with intel vs AMD the build quality is just how it is the cooling is great and the ports they used aren’t either
Thanks for saving me a lot of money! #Subbed
Glad I'm not alone for about the 3.5mm jack, lol. Why on Earth must it be under a cover!?
I have their One-NetBook T1 and the speakers are quiet. They also changed the pen from the one planned and what reviewers received.
Did your Legion Go and case smelled liked mine when you got it?
hah, Legion Go case wasn't even close to this one
Great video. I can't say that I have run into any issues with mine, it has run well and has done what I have needed it to do. Though, I was very disappointed to see that they announced AMD versions coming when they still need to do more with their Intel one. Why didn't they just start with AMD instead of using Intel at all.
For the work stuff I have used the device for it rocks. It calculated some very complex spreadsheets better than everything but my gaming laptop which was impressive. The gaming side needs work, but that is also on Intel as well.
Thank you for your critical video, I was thinking about ordering the X1 since I liked the big display and the Oculink-interface but this will keep me away as a customer. The support does not seem to be able to help or not willing to help, serious flaws in both the hard- and the software of the X1 and missing details like what eGPUs would be supported and so on.
This type of device will never become something serious. Not a computer, not a tablet, not a laptop, just compromises and problems
Would you have been happier with the new AMD version and would you prefer 9 inch or 11 inch size?
Probably yes, but there are still so many other problems with this device, so I don't know.
When it comes to the 9 inch - I think that Legion Go will be better for its price.
9 version Got 2230 nvme . On oculink 155h i Got better performance than 8840u
I really wish they put an AMD chip in the X1 to begin with. Intel was a mistake. Great video tho 👍🏽
Sorry for the problems that have plagued you. I placed an order early in the campaign but then I cancelled it because I doubted the quality. I was lucky that I did so.
Thanks for your honest review, I was wondering if it was worth it to buy it, even if they'll launch a 8840U version in the next days
1. As I expected it seems to be too heavy to play without putting the tablet on something
2. Screen size is great but still too little to use as a laptop
3. When I see all the eGPU issues you had, I don't even want to try to buy one 😂
It's sad that these days, I find that customer support is really bad no matter the company it is... like Asus even if it's a big company
The only gaming handheld company I'd trust is Valve but I don't like the Steam Deck with performance worse than Z1 Extreme & 7840U/8840U
I'm kinda lost with what to choose (Not fan of Legion GO, MSI Claw is a no as it has Intel chip), I guess I'll wait 😢
I found Steam Deck to be controversial as well. But it's quite ironic that the more I used the X1, the more I remembered the carefree days with Steam Deck, as it just worked predictably and consistently.
Big oof. Thanks for putting together this video! I was considering grabbing an X1 Mini, and holy moly, I would not have the patience to deal with this. I'll simply wait until Lenovo releases a Legion Go 2 (or until my GPD Win 4 dies)
about the egpu unstable frametime,I have the same issue with my msi claw with egpu in some game and 4k youtube,it can be fixed by disable igpu and also vrr,I don't know the reason but it works
Mmm, sounds like more tinkering to make it work. But I'll give it a try, thanks.
Bro, do u need thumbnail designing services at affordable prices?
Should i buy ASUS rog ally or onexplayer x1?
Thank you for your video ! You saved me of buying this product, the concept is amazing, but the execution is poorly designed. I am right now a sub 100% 🎉
I hope they fix it with the amd version
they released the amd 8840u version, what do you think?
Dunno man, I still not received BIOS update with bug fixes, do you think that AMD version will be perfect right after release? At least wait for some reviews from non-fanboys :)
@@trysometech52 I tried the other variants of the 8840U (GPD + Ayaneo) and they were all working flawlessly, haven’t gotten my hand on the AMD X1 yet but I would expect it to work way better than intel
@@trysometech52 I have tried the other 8840u devices (GPD+Ayaneo) and they all run flawlessly (with oculink egpu), so I would expect the AMD X1 to be the same.
The intel chip seems to be a miss.
You should flip the back cover from the top down so the vents are not covered like with the minisforum V3
There are no magnets, it doesn't work that way here
I been having a problem with battery life, the *PC* only charge when it feel like it, some times i can be setting at 70% battery and die 2 to 3 minutes later and it doesn't matter what i do it wont charge
Feels bad man. Do you use original charger?
I'm considering the AMD version
Sounds like I dodged a bullet. Ive been looking for a tablet or small laptop that has 64gb of ram and oculink because i will be doing a lot of traveling in the coming year. Will probably end up with the flow x13 and just do without the extra ram.
Bro do u need thumbnail designing services at affordable prices
Intel turbo boost, boost the CPU performance. This can be good for games that utilize the CPU more. However, games that are more GPU hungry it's better to turn off so the GPU gets more power.
In theory - yes, but here when I turn it ON even with eGPU connected - performance still the same
@@trysometech52 that makes sense since the CPU would be the bottleneck in that situation. Then you don’t want to turn off Turbo boost. However if the GPU is bottlenecked then it could help in some apps. It’s the same when playing a game at 1080p and 4k. Most games you’ll get similar performance at 4k with most CPUs in the top end where the weaker CPUs will get less performance in 1080p with the same GPU.
And again, in theory you are totally right :) But if I turn on "Turbo mode" - it works exactly like you described in "Intel turbo boost" and I am getting much higher FPS on CPU demanding games
@@trysometech52 yeah. We’re definitely saying the same thing. lol.
I Got x1 and is work great i Got 22k in 3dmark and can play for every game 4k on my tv. I use for now many new hangeld console and all have same learning curve. I speed for my oculink plate 25$. You staggering is charger or cable problems if my cable start to damaged i got random stugger. Is mayby good reviue from non IT person. Is pc device is huge diference make even windows how and what edicion You install.
also the kick stand folds both ways can pull the bottom out or pull the top down, the way your using it your blocking one fan. Pull down from the top so it leans on that and frees up the fan instead of making stand with the bottom kick stand
You're confusing it with Minisforum v3. There is no magnets at the bottom and I didn't say that there is a fan under that hole
@@trysometech52 no im not confused you just don't understand what I'm saying. You can fold you kickstand both ways, fromtthe top or bottom. If you use it from the bottom like this vid your blocking a fan
And again, you can't do that. There is the only one way how you can attach that kickstand. Do you really think I haven't tried? :D
@@trysometech52 I keep inserting the link to show you that you can and it keeps blocking my comment
@@trysometech52 you didn't try hard enough because other TH-camr uses it how I'm telling you th-cam.com/video/OgmYAIif3WY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=DGn2bvyevRAtZGil
I backed out of this one at the last minute, then bought an Ayaneo Kun. Love the Kun. Happy I backed out.
Look man . Eta prime is a big channel . He doesn’t even pushes the device to the limit . He uses a device one day and tosses it away moments later. I don’t like his philosophy , he always plays it safe , he uses low setting with fsr balanced or performance to target 60 plus fps whereas i am interested in seeing how well the device will perform in native conditions with a mix of high medium and low settings. On the contrary you trying to test the device with a 2060 made me quite excited as gpus like the 80 and 90 series are way out of my league .
Yeah you are totally right, I just wanted to warn more ppl about his approach to the reviews
@@trysometech52 i haven’t seen your videos yet but it will be nice if you do some long term reviews of your techs . For example I brought a razer kishi at the end of 2022 and the entire left part of it stopped working suddenly at the beginning of 2024 . These stuff is quite expensive I didn’t even use my kishi v1 that much . And this is quite disappointing especially from a company like razer . This time I went with the game sir g8 . I was planning to buy a rog ally as in my country steam deck isn’t officially available. Thank god gamer nexus saved me . At the end I really don’t trust big channels like eta prime . Taki udon and retro gaming corps are still better channels . I really loved your take on this one x player device although never ever did I dream of getting a device like this .
I was gonna get the X1 mini but after watching this one idk I’m sure they didn’t fix the issues AMD isn’t goin to fix oculink ports and thermal issues
That’s more quality control
nice video. this is a good concept but:
1. needs steamos or one of the linux alternatives to steamos, and needs to have good support for steam
2. needs better controllers, maybe put out multiple kinds of controllers, especially ones with dual touchpads. and they need to be wireless (without a "battery addon) and low latency. and when they're attached they should have zero latency.
3. needs better hardware and cooling inside, you pointed out all sorts of bugs
4. needs AMD apu or cpu + gpu from AMD
5. needs better support. probably only going to happen if another company does it. this stuff is ridiculous
6. i haven't seen you mention it, so i'll mention it here, it needs low latency gaming display with VRR. 120hz is nice but not if it's laggy.
Also, more and more consoles are showing detachable controllers. The industry needs to agree on a standard for the physical connector and protocol and charging and wireless protocol, so I can have a choice of controllers.
I really like this form factor. This would probably be the only thing to get me to switch away from my Steam Deck. But it needs to have ALL the points above.
I would buy an iPad plus a Steam Deck which should work better than the 3 in 1 concept
Too many problems and bad support to even consider. A little bit of shame since it looks promising.
Then there's the fact that you have to use discord to get any support. That's a RED FLAG.
man..... i was planning to buy this, but after read ur review and customer support still blaming ur dock, i think it will be better stay with gpd....., im currently using gpd product without any problem with g1, others also dont have any problem with desktop class gpu....
AUTO SUBCRIBE !!!!!
intel is not for hardware like this.
Thanks for finally releasing this video. Did you try the original egpu dock after you got the new egpu working? Did you try to go back to the first bios the device came with? The AMD model users will experience they same as the Intel users. How did the 4090 run by the way? ETA Prime only TESTed the eGPU that they are selling for the tablet, so of course THAT worked great. By the way His testing is always only on emulation and RARELY on any stressful modern PC title and No I do not count GTA V...
It looks like the problem it the bios is not flushed out. I found it shady that they were only offering support on discord and that's a RED FLAG. I view all tablet/phone speakers as junk and use bluetooth devices with using audio. It also sounds like their bios support for their OCulink port is garbage. Another "cheap" chinese junk item. No matter what happens please to leave the video up because it's relevant AT THE TIME you uploaded it.
Bios has nothing to do with my first eGPU dock, it will not work because there is no power button = no handshake between the devices (as far as I see it). Moreover, it was a pre-release version of the bios and I got it again by their mistake, so of course I didn't try to roll back to it.
I sold my PC and completely switched to this garbage as a PC replacement. So I don't have the 4090 anymore
ETA Prime is just a marketplace channel, he never says anything bad about the product. And they have problems even with original eGPU dock - you can find videos on how to set it up to avoid drivers issues, or a dozens of messages on their Discord channel
@@trysometech52 So that older dock might work if you jumpered the PSU and started it up first, got it. Yeah I get it about ETA prime, I stopped watch him for that reason.
@@trysometech52 I use to be an early adopted myself. Now I always get the new stuff up and running in stable condition first before I sell my old stuff. You lose out on getting the best value for your own stuff, BUT you avoid putting good money after bad sunk costs. One of the products that got me was the 52X zen research cdrom drive when 4x drives were the norm. The trick with that drive was it copied discs to the hard drive, but it required it's own disk partition to do so.
@@michaelcarson8375oculink is best Connection so far I can play on high detail in every game in 4k. Usb 4 is bad no all games work and lost much more power of gpu
Me after seeing the Title🧐 me after reading again 😭🤣
I don't even know if Intel knowa what the intel turbo mode does 😅🤷🏽♂🤦🏽♂
plus the model you have doesnt have the improved stick you have apls stick, the newer ones are hall effect. Plus there's another user named Nelly who does X1 videos and she ran into the egpu problem but figured out the problem and post what to do. She both a few different epgu cables and they failed except one and and worked fine after
They are the same, that's not a "newer" model, man.
Regarding eGPU - that's right, different eGPU different problems, mine were solved as well.
@@trysometech52 yeah there's two sticks that are out for the X1, apls that shipped with it or you can buy hall effect ones.
3:42 😂
Okay.. I came onto my Dead Channel as soon as you said **ETA Prime was an honest reviewer** and for one i'm sorry you believe that.
1. Guys, let me ask you a question, what Content does ETA Prime produce?
What is his channel about?
I'll hurry and answer, ETA Prime's channel is for advertisements.
He dosen't make personal content, nothing on his channel is of unique personal interest or greater subject.
He just recieves gadgets and influeces you to be interested in said products. Every single video ETA Prime has produced in the last 4 months has been product placements.
2. He's not not a(n; Honest) Reviewer
ETA Prime largely does overview content, he's not exactly "reviewing" anything. He's going through a checkbox and he rarely says anything truly negative about the devices or his own experience, as he wants more sponsorships so he can continue making a living.
3. ETA Prime does delete videos
ETA Prime made an infamous video that no longer exists where he claimed that Intel Arc(this was when it launched) was the perfect 1440p GPU when it costed more than a 6700(non XT) and had terrible drivers.
That video got such bad reception he deleted it, and is the most dishonest video I personally know he made.
Idk where people get that ETA Prime is honest but he's channel purpose is not to sell you truth, its to show you products you might think are cool.
That's it.
Compared to ETA Prime your video is an actual Review, you're sharing exactly how the device behaves.
Besides minor stylistic differences in the way you two go about production, your videos are a cut above ETA Prime's.
It's a shame you don't upload nearly as much.
Maybe it wasn't quite clear, but it was sarcasm :)
And with that sarcasm, I wanted to draw attention to this problem. There are still many people who truly believe him and value his opinion.
Whats the point of a handheld if u need eGPU to play, just buy a pc
I think there's a future in this form factor. The hardware is just not there yet
This should be used as an actual laptop or gaming tablet with controller detached rather than a 'handheld'
I feel that too many companies are delivering half-baked products and leaving the beta testing to the customers, which is fine for smaller companies that are just starting up, but I think unacceptable for medium or large size companies like this one.
Yeah, and it feels like they're not even trying to polish their software. They are happy with the current business model
Is the processor copilot + PC ready?
No, 155H doesn't have 40 TOPS for that
Dude wanted PC tower to be a tablet 😂
Come on... Did eta prime ever not like a product he reviewed?
🤔 no for Intel ultra chip
This is unfortunately the problem with small Chinese manufacturers.
That company has been like this from the start, coming out with new handhelds every month 😂
I think is not that they fooled you , i see mostly problems of hardware compatibility and some bugs needed to be solved in future software upgrades, not different that any other emergent or established laptop company.Can they improve on customer service, marketing ? for sure , but take a look as Asus , a much , much bigger company , so ....
They can improve it, but will they do that? Literally 0 fixes for 2 months.
They already preparing software for the new models, and I don't think they have enough developers to make software updated in parallel.
thirty five years i must wait for such device whats perfect for me,iam homeless and would be happy with such device....whaat are you crying? your rich and only need to buy it.... i only can dream of it
Do not buy any Onexplayer devices. Their actual devices are no where near what reviewers are showing. If you view their Discord channel, there are many complaints of battery not charging, unusable webcam and microphone, eGPU not working etc. Their customer support will reject all claims and ignore you.
Is not True i Got x1 and i Got broken keyboard the send me replacement ofter 48 hours when i write mail.
@robertbigkrbk7692 are you on their Discord?
China QC at it's best (meaning no QC 😂)
Well... I rather get asus flow z13😂
Oculink isn't hotswappable. That could explain why it wouldn't initialize when plugging it up. I have the onexgpu and use it with the legion go. I'm completely happy with it.... other than the $750 I paid for it. I live in the United States, I had no custom duties for it.
I know that it's not hot-swappable. X1 was always turned off when I was connecting eGPU.
They take fees even if you cancel preorder, scam company. Also preorder number on the website is just a random function, not real sold number
👀
Gg
POOR Cooling SYSTEM
is one of worst parts.
Just get Z13 way better than X1
10:45 all id need to hear, to never consider buying anything from this company.
Even after watching this video im still going to buy a X1 since nelly videos are a lot better and she goes through a lot of stuff, Nelly also uses onexplasyer egpu and works fine. Think this is just a video from a guy that had problems and didn't really know what to do and had to contact customer service for a problem Nelly would have figured out herself and not have problems so its user error. I recently asked her if I should get legion go or X1, i don't plan on using a egpu there's no point in one. Yeah not really a fan of this video
intel sucks
Possiedi anche LegionGo, vedo. Quindi ti chiedo: lo schermo di Oxp X1 è migliore di LegionGo? Parlo di brillantezza dei colori. LegionGo ha uno schermo che sembra un Oled. Questo schermo come è?
I'd say they're similar in quality, it's just that the screen is bigger
12:42
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You forgot the Mr 'SAMSUNG. GALAXY. TAB S9 ULTRA. THE BEST TABLET EVER' himself.
