From now on, and for a year, you'll see a new 8840U device video from ETA Prime pop up in your YouTube feed every week.

There's no big gap between a 8840u and a Z1 extreme mainly because its the same igpu.

I'm sorry but the Rog Ally X seems a better choice, cheaper, more battery life, VRR screen

[dhoni]

beautiful handheld, really like the design

[hurdthenerd]

It’s like they refuse to just make the handheld with all the desired points.
- Full sized analogs, those little switch analogs never work well for fps games.
-Oled screen
-comfortable grip
- Power
-proper D Pad.

They either miss a few or don’t get none at all.

[McLoovviinn]

nice, love the battery performance on this one, maybe this could be a little bit better with Steam OS?

[slojanko]

8840U is a rebranded 7840U with maybe a 1% difference in performance at best. I would not call this "a nice little upgrade" in any way.

[systemBuilder]

I can't wait to see handhelds start to show up with the Ryzen AI HX 370 AI with 33% more GPU performance ... starting in 2-4 weeks !!!

[TheBagManGamer]

The Ayaneo Air 1S also has an 8840u update. I'd love to see a video on that!

[SignalChange]

man it'd be so great if these things had swappable batteries

[Alilolilou]

they came to late, the one X1 mini won this battle

[PhantomGhost]

Unless Lenovo makes a new Legion Go with a new Ryzen APU or Valve makes a Steam Deck Two announcement or a release happens in 2024, I could actually see myself buying one of these. I was actually thinking about the OneX Mini with the Ryzen chips, but this is a smaller and more handheld-like experience and I'd like to see what it's about.

[donkaz]

Real upgrade should have been not just CPU but an OLED screen and 2 Hour Battery life

[jimmycarpenter]

Seems decent enough but that price is hard to justify when the direct competitors are hundreds of dollars cheaper.

[aarontownsend]

When will we hear more about the zotac zone ready for that oled

[jaymatthew]

So yall complaining about this being too expensive yet are buying new versions or upgraded handheld pcs every year even if under a 1, 000 but will eventually add up to thousands of dollars.

Personally, I think the more interesting handhelds will come out at the end of this year and the start of next year. We have on the way:

Intel Lunar Lake. Who knows how the longevity will be, but it should bring Meteor Lake performance -+ a few % with confidence to ultra low power situations, like 7-15 watts, to my understanding. (from 25-35 watts or so), which should make for some really interesting devices down the line. I think, if the mood struck them, an Ayn Odin mini should be possible to make with that platform, at probably very similar power draw to their existing SoC or less, and to still at least match a Steamdeck to be sure. That sounds insane, to me, and I'd instantly throw all my money at it, no problem.

Strix Point. The performance we can expect here starts to get to older but still relevant desktop chips, and I've seen anywhere between an RTX 2060-3050-3060 depending on which specific variant (mobile versus desktop) you're comparing to, and in efficiency it should be more like high-end Lunar Lake (I'll guess they're roughly similar until I see reviews), so the high end devices with this will actually feel worth it, IMO, as opposed to the ROG Ally which never really made sense to me given that it never really outperformed the Steamdeck until you got to really high TDPs.

Various budget APUs and refreshes. It's my understanding that Intel *and* AMD are both refreshing a variety of APU architectures (they'll be under a new name so be sure to do your research!) in the next seven ish months, on newer process nodes than the originals. If you think about the SoC difference between the OG Steamdeck and the OLED, you can think of something a bit like that. That's super interesting for budget handhelds because old levels of performance will be cheaper, and more efficient, so we could see smaller devices or more performant devices for a slightly lower cost than we could do before. I think if any of the handhelds currently available catch your eye, they'll probably be refreshed with the new stuff, and while it won't be earth shattering, I think if you get an SoC in a handheld that's like, 3-5% better in performance and efficiency it makes a huge difference in this space compared to the performance difference in desktop.

Overall, I just don't think it's worth looking at handhelds right now when the next 7-9 months are going to be so crazy with the lineup I see coming.

Worth upgrading from a ROG Ally? I've been eyeing the 7840u OneXFly for a while, I like the compact size and larger memory

[Leopez]

I've always been interested and wanted to buy ONEXPLAYER handheld gaming PC since the first ONEXPLAYER from 2021 console, but now i'm interested about of ONEXPLAYER Mini 2 Pro and defienitily this new AMAZING looking ONEXFLY 8840U thank you for showing this new ONEXFLY what might be my first handheld gaming PC of all time you're the best Eta Prime! 😊❤

[scarface]

[Richwaterz]

What's better this or the rog ally x?
