AOKZOE A1X Handheld Console Revealed: Powerhouse with Adjustable TDP
AOKZOE has just unveiled its newest creation, the A1X handheld console. They're marketing this tiny monster as a true powerhouse in the world of handhelds, and it has a nifty trick up its sleeve: you can actually adjust how much power the processor consumes to eke out that valuable battery life.
A Display That Keeps Up
First, the screen. You'll play games on a quality 8-inch IPS screen. It features a sharp 1920x1200 resolution, ideal for this size, but the real winner is that smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Games must look simply wonderful. And it gets nice and bright (500 nits) and features full sRGB color support, so images should really pop.
Under the Hood: Serious AMD Power
This is where things get interesting. You've got choices. You can outfit the A1X with either the mighty AMD Ryzen 7 8840U or go all out with the monster Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. Both of these processors come with integrated Radeon 890M graphics, which even supports ray tracing for some graphic pizzazz. To enable that, you can have either 32GB or a staggering 64GB of RAM, along with speedy 1TB or 2TB storage.
Control Your Power, Extend Your Playtime
That cool power that we informed you about? Well, the A1X accommodates manual adjustment of the processor's TDP (Thermal Design Power) between a super-conservative 4 watts and a solid 30 watts. Why would this be helpful? AOKZOE says that by pushing it down as far as you can, you might be able to squeeze about 8 hours of play out of one battery. That's not too bad for a powerful handheld. Speaking of charging, it packs a whopper 72.2 Wh battery inside, and it's backed by speedy 100-watt charging. To not let things get toasty, there's an honest cooling system featuring a fan, a vapor chamber, and three copper heat pipes.
Connectivity and Comfort
You won't be short of ports. The A1X features:
- Two multi-purpose USB 4.0 Type-C ports
- A handy USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port
- An OCuLink port for accessing external GPU options
- A standard 3.5mm headphone jack
- A microSD card slot to expand the storage
It even comes with stereo speakers integrated and a kickstand that you can adjust to meet your viewing requirements.
