The definition of overkill: liquid-cooled gaming portable.

What’s more powerful than an AMD Strix Halo handheld? One with liquid cooling! OneXPlayer brought the Apex handheld and the Super X tablet to CES, both of which attach to this external liquid cooler. (They’re still technically portable once you disconnect.) Nelly has the best look and some benchmarks; I only had time to snap these photos.

<em>OneXPlayer says the “Frost Bay” external cooler lets it deliver 120W of cooling to Strix Halo chips, rather than the 80W it can do on air.</em>
<em>Here’s the magnetic locking hose adapter plugged into the Super X tablet. </em>
<em>The Apex handheld hides its cooling port underneath the magnetic cover with the company’s logo. And yes, this handheld has a detachable external battery.</em>

<em>OneXPlayer also has a new OneXGPU 3 external GPU, with a 16GB 9070 XT built in, and up to 180W TDP. USB-4 and OCuLink connectivity.</em>
<em>The OneXGPU 3’s specs. </em>
<em>Lastly, OneXPlayer has a tiny laptop/handheld hybrid with hidden gaming controls, like the GPD Win Max.</em>
<em>Here it is with the magnetic keyboard deck attached. It’s powered by an HX 370 chip.</em>
