This new Steam Deck rival offers liquid cooling and up to 128GB of RAM, it’s just a shame about the price
2025 has been a bumper year for handheld gaming PCs, with the introduction of the ROG Xbox Ally, Lenovo Legion Go S, and many more. Now, there’s another new contender on the way in the form of the OneXPlay OneXFly Apex, and while it might look like just another in a long line of Steam Deck alternatives, it packs some pretty impressive hardware under the hood.
The OneXFly Apex packs an AMD Ryzen AI Max +395 processor to offer peak gaming performance, an eight-inch 120HZ VRR display, and, most notably, external liquid cooling tech. That last feature is pretty unique in the world of handheld gaming PCs and, according to OneXPlayer, makes the Apex capable of reaching thermal design power levels of up to 120W. The caveat is that the liquid cooler is sold separately, which, in my eyes, makes it more of an accessory than a feature, but I’m not going to argue the point with the tech brand.
The liquid cooler isn’t the only optional Apex add-on that can help take your gaming to the next level, though. The lineup also features an 85Wh external battery pack, which beats out even the best handheld consoles when it comes to battery capacity. Then there’s the RAM situation, with the most premium version coming with an absolutely staggering 128GB of RAM, which, if you don’t know, is 112GB more than the Steam Deck OLED. That should make for some pretty rapid load times.
