OneXPlayer, one of the many handheld PCs that have proliferated in the wake of the Steam Deck, has revealed a new model that’s available for pre-order: the Mini Pro. Powered by either an AMD Ryzen 7 6800U APU with its Radeon 680M integrated GPU, or an Intel i7 1260P with Iris Xe graphics, it looks like a powerful entry into the market.

The screen for both is a seven-inch IPS panel with a resolution of 1920x1200, for a 16:10 aspect ratio, and there's a choice of SSDs, from a 512GB to a 2TB model. Controls include a pair of analog sticks (using Hall sensors to eliminate dead zones), plus a D-pad and face buttons all in the usual places, while an HD linear motor takes care of vibration functions. There's a 48Wh battery that should manage a couple of hours gameplay at full tilt, and considerably longer when passively streaming media. A pair of USB 4 ports and a single USB 3 take care of connectivity.
The new Mini Pro is a step on from the current Mini model, which carries either a Ryzen 5 or Intel i7 and a 1280x800-resolutuion screen. Game framerates published by OneXPlayer show it achieving 120FPS in Forza 5 and up to 55FPS in God of War.
The handheld measures just 260x106x23mm (10.2x4.1x0.9 inches) and weighs in at 599g (21oz). Preorders come with a discount, but retail prices for the AMD version start at $1,249, and for the Intel version at $1,199. Estimated shipping dates are fairly soon, in October.
