OneXPlayer trots out Super X PC tablet as it gears up for Kickstarter launch

OneXPlayer has flaunted its new Windows tablet, Super X, again, since announcing it a few months back. The tablet is gunning for a unique space, currently occupied entirely by the Asus Z13 Flow. It turns out that super expensive Windows-based tablets for gaming aren’t exactly something people are gunning for right now.

However, despite the disappointment of the industry not instantly running for a high-end, expensive chip to put in new video game toys for me to oogle (other than GPD and Ayaneo right now), the Super X’s latest preview is for OneXPlayer to tell everyone it’s coming to Kickstarter “soon”. Yes, an announcement without the actual announcement bit. Wonderful, truly.

The Super X is OneXPlayer’s other hardware, with the prime focus being on the company’s Apex handheld. Both the Super X and Apex will sport nearly identical specs internally, using AMD’s super chip, the Ryzen AI Max+ 395. Yes, I still have to look it up each time.

OneXPlayer’s Super X is a tablet in the way that Microsoft’s Surface machines are tablets. An optional keyboard will sit pretty underneath, while the tablet itself has a stand. This is the exact same setup for the Z13 Flow, which currently retails for $2799.99. That’s a lot of cash for a machine intended to play games on PC, but at the same performance as a last-generation Nvidia graphics card, the RTX 4060.

Two versions of the OneXPlayer Super X

Adding, or maybe reducing the price, OneXPlayer intends to sell two versions of its Super X tablet. One will sport liquid cooling, while one will have traditional cooling. OneXPlayer hasn’t announced any pricing, presumably because it’ll potentially drive people away from their crowdfunding before it even gets started.

It’ll also sport up to 128GB of RAM, which, if prices and tariffs continue as they are, we could easily be looking at a $3000 minimum top spec device.

Not to say that it’s not a nice device on paper, but I’ll be the judge if it ever comes The Escapist’s way. The 2880×1800 screen is using a 14″ AMOLED screen, so it’ll make games look great, and has an 83.5 Watt-hour battery, which will surely be drained in minutes during gaming. The Z13 seems to get around 7 to 10 hours for regular usage, but gaming will lop a chunk of that off.

The Escapist has reached out for comment to OneXPlayer, as VideoCardz, an outlet a lot of us interested in hardware rely on, states that OneXPlayer is using their name to promote its kit, “claiming that we “praised” their products”. As of writing, it appears that the VideoCardz logo has been removed.
