OneXPlayer Shows Off AMD Strix Halo and Panther Lake Gaming Tablet and Handheld With External Liquid Cooling at CES 2026.

OneXPlayer first announced the OneXPlayer Super X, a 14-inch AMOLED gaming tablet powered by AMD's Strix Halo APUs, in early December 2025, with a Kickstarter campaign making some bold claims about 120 W sustained performance. At CES 2026, the TechPowerUp team stopped by the OneXPlayer booth and managed to take a look at the hardware in person. The brand also revealed that the gaming tablet will be available with the newly released Intel Panther Lake Core Ultra X7 358H CPU, which should also put up almost the same GPU performance as the Radeon 8060S, thanks to the included Intel Arc B390 iGPU, but perhaps better efficiency, which will be key for a mobile gaming device.

OneXPlayer to Adjust "Strix Halo" APU-powered Handheld Prices, Prompted by RAM & SSD Shortages

A month ago, OneXPlayer publicly unveiled its OneXFly Apex liquid-cooled system—introduced as the "world's most powerful 8-inch gaming handheld." This top-tier portable gaming PC takes advantage of AMD's Ryzen AI "Strix Halo" mobile platform; normally present within pricey pro-level laptops and mini PCs. An Indiegogo campaign offered a range-topping model configured with Team Red's Ryzen AI Max+ 395, and up to 128 GB of LPDDR5x-8000 memory, plus a 2 TB NVMe SSD. Backers/customers could pick up this setup for a cool $2239, but OneXPlayer has warned that price adjustments are on the way. Thankfully, an initial batch of orders will be fulfilled at promised price tags. Today's update states: "due to rising memory and SSD costs and our current inventory being fully allocated to existing orders, APEX pricing will increase by $200 for all new backers after 96 hours. Existing backers remain fully protected at their original price."

The Chinese manufacturer is likely sitting on component stock that was acquired prior to recent market fluctuations—shipments to customers are due at the start of 2026. Unfortunately, volatile conditions could cause ripples beyond this week. Continuing with their forecast, OneXPlayer elaborated: "due to depleted (OneXFly) APEX memory and SSD inventory, along with continued component cost increases, the APEX Indiegogo pricing will be adjusted in 96 hours. A second price adjustment may also be required if market conditions continue to change. For those planning to back APEX, now is the best time to secure the current pricing." Last week, the company unveiled another AMD "Strix Halo"-powered product, minus pricing details—their Super X gaming tablet. At the time of writing, a connected Indiegogo has not been launched.

OneXPlayer Super X: 14-Inch Strix Halo Tablet with Liquid Cooling

OneXPlayer has already revealed the OneXFly Apex, an AMD Strix Halo-powered gaming handheld, but now it has revealed more information about the Super X, which the company calls the "ultimate 2-in-1 gaming laptop." The new OneXPlayer 14-inch tablet, which was previously revealed in a presentation, is powered by AMD's Ryzen AI Max+ 395 APU with up to 128 GB of LPDDR5X unified memory. The OneXPlayer Super X is currently listed on Kickstarter, although it hasn't officially launched there yet, so pricing is unclear. Although it is technically a tablet, OneXPlayer ships the Super X with a magnetic keyboard accessory, technically making it something akin to a Microsoft Surface-style 2-in-1 device. OneXPlayer is billing the Super X as a do-it-all compact tablet for everything from creative workloads and gaming to heavy local AI tasks. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 has a TDP of up to 120 W, and it will supposedly have an 83.5 Wh battery, which isn't particularly large, given the sizeable power budget. That 120 W TDP may pose a problem for a slim form factor, but OneXPlayer is allegedly planning a liquid-cooled version of the Super X tablet—although not much is available regarding the details of said liquid-cooling system.

As with most AMD Strix Halo devices, expansion and upgrades are limited to the SSDs, and the Super X has one M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 slots, although a maximum storage capacity is not listed by OneXPlayer. The display is a 14-inch, 2880×1800, 120 Hz AMOLED panel with a claimed 138% coverage of the sRGB color space. The display supposedly also supports HDR and VRR, the latter of which should be a decent help when it comes to gaming workloads and perhaps even battery life. It also supports a stylus with 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity, so it may be useful as a sketching tablet or note-taking tool. The ports on the Super X include 2× USB4, 1× USB 3.2 Type-A, 1× 3.5 mm audio, 1× TF Card slot, 1× HDMI 2.1, 1× PCIe 4.0 Mini SSD Expansion Slot (externally accessible).

OneXPlayer Officially Reveals Water-Cooled AMD Strix Halo-Powered OneXFly Apex Gaming Handheld

OneXPlayer has officially announced its latest gaming handheld, the OneXFly Apex, which puts the exciting AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 APU and Radeon 8060 graphics into a compact handheld form factor with some interesting cooling and power tricks. The new Windows gaming handheld from OneXPlayer is clearly aimed to combat recent announcements from the likes of GPD, replete with a detachable battery, just like GPD's Win 5. Unlike the Win 5, however, OneXPlayer also saw fit to equip the OneXFly Apex with a liquid cooling system to keep the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 in check. OneXPlayer says that the powerful APU is capable of drawing as much as 120 W with this cooling solution, claiming that it is the first Windows gaming handheld to achieve this feat. The Apex will come with an 8-inch, 120 Hz IPS display with a maximum rated brightness of 500 nits and 100% coverage of the sRGB color space.

The watercooling solution is a detachable tower containing the radiator, pump, and reservior, much like the XMG Neo 17's Oasis system we reviewed prior. In handheld mode, without the water cooling tower, the OneXFly's APU is said to be capable of sustained 80 W TDP with up to 100 W supposedly also possible. This is all powered by an 85 Wh external battery in a similar piggyback configuration to GPD's Win 5 detachable battery. OneXPlayer showed off some comparative testing putting the device up against another handheld equipped with the AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme, and the Strix Halo-powered device expectedly blew the smaller APU out of the water when it came to gaming tests. As is the case with other portable devices using the same APU, the OneXPlayer OneXFly Apex will be available with up to 128 GB of LPDDR5x-8000 memory and a 2 TB NVMe SSD (with another M.2 slot available for upgrades). While the device is clearly intended primarily as a gaming handheld, OneXPlayer is openly marketing the Apex as a do-it-all machine, especially considering the water cooling dock.
