OneXPlayer 3: a Gaming PC in Nintendo Switch Format with Intel G3 Extreme, But This Time It Exceeds 2,000 Euros
About a month after its official presentation, the new OneXPlayer 3 has landed on Indiegogo with a crowdfunding campaign that effectively marks the start of its commercial phase. It is the second console on the market to offer Intel's new Arc G3 platform, and as could be inferred from the price of the MSI Claw 8 EX AI+, this one won't be accessible either.
All configurations adopt the Intel Arc G3 Extreme SoC with integrated Intel Arc B390 graphics, a combination designed to run even the most demanding AAA games and handle regular tasks in a Windows environment without particular limitations.
The OneXPlayer 3 features an 8.8-inch OLED display with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,200 pixels and a refresh rate of up to 144 Hz, characteristics that place it in the high-end market. The console is also equipped with an 85 Wh battery, which the manufacturer claims can provide up to 25 hours of usage.
The device includes a rather comprehensive connectivity package. The console supports expansion of storage via microSD and mini-SSD, integrates two USB 4 Type-C ports, a USB-A 3.2 port, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Through USB 4, it is also possible to connect an external monitor with a maximum resolution of 4K. However, the manufacturer has not disclosed details about wireless connectivity.
One of the most distinctive elements of the device is represented by the removable controllers, which allow the OneXPlayer 3 to be used both as a traditional portable console and by separating the controls from the main unit. The design is practically identical to the first Nintendo Switch, with peripherals fixed with a sliding mechanism. An optional keyboard is available for $46.16, an accessory that transforms the device into a sort of hybrid between a tablet and a compact notebook. Additional controllers are also available at the same price.
The range includes three configurations. The entry-level model features 24 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage and is offered at $1,438.16 during the launch campaign, while the announced retail price is $1,746.56. The intermediate version maintains 24 GB of RAM but increases the storage to 1 TB, with a promotional price of $1,540.96, destined to become $1,849.36.
At the top of the range is the configuration with 32 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage, initially offered at $1,746.56, later increasing to $2,054.96. Despite the higher price, this variant currently appears to be the most requested by users who have participated in the campaign.
So far, the manufacturer has raised $732,731 thanks to the support of 424 backers. The campaign will remain open for another 29 days, and the first deliveries are expected in August 2026.
The economic positioning of the new console appears particularly high but is in line with other offerings with similar specifications. One example is MSI Claw 8 AI+, which adopts the same CPU and GPU platform along with 32 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage at a list price of 1,799 euros, but with a traditional design featuring integrated controls.
