- The as soon as Sunday Dragon 3D One prototype handheld is now launching mid-November because the abxylute 3D One
- The corporate claims it will likely be the ‘world’s first’ glasses-free 3D handheld gaming PC
- Its retail value might be $1,799, costing practically as a lot as GPD Win 5, which is probably the most highly effective handheld gaming PC
The hand held gaming PC market is seeing new additions in fast succession, with the current launch of the Lenovo Legion Go 2 and the ROG Xbox Ally X and ROG Xbox Ally units – and this new, bold one may simply be probably the most ludicrous but.
As reported by Notebookcheck, the abxylute 3D One handheld is launching on Kickstarter (a crowdfunding platform), with an estimated November 13 launch date. Retail pricing is $1,799, whereas early-bird pricing is $1,499 for a restricted time.
The abxylute 3D One handheld has a ten.95-inch display screen, presumably the most important handheld gaming PC display screen we have seen but, with a 2560×1600 show decision, utilizing Intel’s spectacular Lunar Lake Core Extremely 7 258V (additionally discovered within the MSI Claw 8 AI+) – and abxylute additionally claims that is the ‘world’s first’ glasses-free 3D PC handheld.
This machine may ring a bell should you tuned into CES 2025 protection, as there was a handheld referred to as the Sunday Dragon 3D One in its prototype section from Tencent – and there was an opportunity that it would not have even seen the sunshine of day, however right here we’re, with the abxylute 3D One based mostly on the idea.
It definitely is not the world’s first glasses-free 3D handheld gaming machine, given the Nintendo 3DS. Nonetheless, it might probably technically be the world’s first glasses-free 3D handheld gaming PC if it launches earlier than the DigiEra HoloMax laptop-handheld hybrid PC, which seems doable, because the latter hasn’t launched but.
If it wasn’t apparent already, I feel that is fairly ludicrous, simply as I first thought when the prototype was revealed earlier this January, alongside the Acer Nitro Blaze 11 (priced at $1,099). Each of those handhelds have a ridiculously outsized 11-inch display screen, which disregards any thought of portability (thoughts you, that is probably the most vital features of a handheld), however what makes the abxylute 3D One arguably the worst offender is the $1,799 retail value.
There’s already loads of criticism from shoppers (and me) about handheld costs, and this manages to price virtually as a lot as probably the most highly effective handheld in the marketplace, the GPD Win 5 (utilizing AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395), with out assembly the identical efficiency capabilities.
Many might really feel that the glasses-free 3D functionality is not warranted, and particularly not the 11-inch show dimension, which pushes a handheld into the territory of a gaming laptop computer. It is one other clear reminder of why Valve’s Steam Deck has been so profitable, sticking to affordability, with an affordable show dimension, and a processor that does greater than sufficient for handheld gaming.
There isn’t any doubt that there might be an viewers for an 11-inch handheld, however as I discussed earlier than, let’s hope that is the restrict for handheld units, as a result of it is not a fantastic look because it stands.
