OneXPlayer has just thrown its hat into the ring with the announcement of the new Super X gaming tablet, poised to compete with none other than the ASUS ROG Flow Z13. Powered by AMD’s cutting-edge tech, this tablet promises to be a game-changer for those who prioritize performance and portability.
Zooming In
The gaming tablet market isn’t exactly new territory, but it’s not overflowing with options either. Devices like the Nintendo Switch have long been the go-to for portable gaming, but the demands for more powerful hardware in a compact form are growing. Enter OneXPlayer Super X, a device that looks to bridge that divide beautifully.
Under the hood, the Super X is a beast. Sporting an AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor alongside a Radeon 8060S GPU, this tablet claims performance that rivals RTX 4060 to RTX 4070 class mobile chips. That’s no small feat. With support for ray tracing and AMD’s FSR 4 upscaling, graphics enthusiasts might find themselves unexpectedly enchanted by what’s traditionally seen as a secondary gaming device.
But what about the screen, you ask? The tablet flaunts a 14-inch AMOLED display, packing a resolution of 2880 x 1800, complete with HDR support and Variable Refresh Rate (VRR). It’s almost like holding a high-definition portal to other worlds. The design echoes Microsoft’s Surface line, complete with a kickstand and a detachable keyboard for those who need to get serious work done. Stylus support with 4096 pressure levels turns it into a tempting option for artists and designers too.
AI at Your Fingertips
The Super X isn’t just about gaming. It includes the XDNA 2 Neural Processing Unit, designed for local AI processing without being plugged into the matrix 24/7. Imagine running models like Llama 3.2 and DeepSeek R1 without the pesky internet hiccups-that’s some futuristic convenience right there, especially for AI researchers and developers.
What About the Heat?
With power comes responsibility-or in this case, the need to manage heat and battery life. The Super X’s vapor chamber cooling system will need to perform admirably to prevent this powerhouse from turning into a lukewarm flop under extended use. Meanwhile, the 83.5 Wh battery will have to prove it’s not the Achilles’ heel when it comes to sustained performance.
Facing the Competition
ASUS ROG Flow Z13 has set a high bar, known for both design and power. Both tablets offer stellar specs, but the battleground will likely focus on how well they manage performance without melting, along with their ease of use over long hours of gaming.
Consumer Implications
The arms race for the ultimate gaming tablet is heating up, and consumers stand to gain the most. As the lines continue to blur between laptops and tablets, devices like the Super X could redefine what portable power looks like. Tech companies and consumers alike will be watching this space closely, as the launch could shift expectations for what we carry in our backpacks.
