ONEXPLAYER 1S

I wouldn't recommend for everyone as there is a bit of legwork required to get some games working on this, but when you do it's a great experience.

The console feels incredibly well built and is a bit of a chonky unit. No creaks or movement of any part except the buttons as expected.

What cannot be understated is the quality of the screen on this. I've seen many reviews saying the resolution is wasted but that isn't true with some tweaking you can get games running really well. I have Elden aring running at Max graphics at 1080p at a solid 30fps with turbo mode on. The clarity and colours of the screen are amazing. I was a little worried as I'm an OLED lover but this is the best IPS I've seen. Decent blacks, great colours and minimal backlight bleed.

It never feels hot or warm in the hand and the fan is a manageable volume at full speed, does a super job of kicking the heat out of the top.

The only negative I would say with the device is that it's quite heavy and with smaller hands feels a bit of a reach for the shoulder buttons.

Droix were awesome, super fast DPD delivery, case was a freebie, and they also put in a decent UK power supply (which I actually was going to buy from them at £20!).

Overall great experience. I can't put this thing down.

I don't own a steamdeck, but have had the use of one for a week, this thing while admittedly is much more expensive is just night and day ahead of it. It's worth the extra. More storage, a way better and bigger screen (the screen on the steam deck is relatively poor), a much better quality feeling device, and I'm able to play games in better graphics and resolution. Plus I can easily use games from across all the storefronts, epic, gog, origin etc.

I was dubious how an onboard GPU could possibly handle AAA games but the new intel Iris chip is very impressive.

Due to the Steam Deck being delayed until end of October for my order I became impatient and really liked the looks of this device due to its larger screen. I am very happy I decided to go with the OneXplayer 1s. So far I haven't had any issues which others have reported with the intel chipset drivers which may be because of recent driver updates.

I now have more time for casual gaming because of the portability of the device and not having to sit at my desktop or pull out the laptop, so finally trying some of older games and indie games in my Steam library that I have accumulated over the years but never played.

So far I have tried a mix recent and old AAA games and Indie games without any issues. The only issue for me is because i'm an old PC Gamer and not used to using controllers for FPS games it would be nice to have had a tilt sensor which I think might make FPS games easier for aiming, and a built in touch pad for playing management sims and RTS games. But i'm tinkering with settings so getting used to the controls. The only other issue which is more annoying is the SD Card reader speed, R/W is around 20-30MB which is ok for running emulator games but would have been nice to be able to buy a 1TB SD card with fast 100MB+ RW speeds to expand storage.

Another great feature with the intel model is the ability to add an EGPU so I plan on setting it up to my TV with an EGPU and couple of Xbox controllers to turn it into a family console.

I have played GTA V and also tried Elite Dangerous on this and the heat pipes and fans on this thing do a great job. At no point has the device at the back become hot and the fan noise is very quiet IMO.

I am loving this device, powerful enough and super convenient for casual gaming.

Great little machine - played everything I’ve thrown at it with excellent graphics, highly recommended
