There’s a new wave of handheld gaming PCs coming out in 2026 and they’re packing Intel’s new Arc G3 Extreme chips. We’ve already seen the first few models at Computex in Taiwan.
PCWorld’s Adam Patrick Murray has been there all week recording what it’s like to be on the show floor, including a recent hands-on encounter with the new OneXPlayer 3 handheld gaming PC.
This is one of the first few Arc G3 Extreme handhelds that we’ve had a chance to check out (the MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ is another), and it’s basically a turbocharged Lenovo Legion Go 2. The most notable resemblance is the fact that the OneXPlayer 3 has a pair of detachable controllers that slide off the sides à la the Nintendo Switch, but there’s more that makes this crowdfunded handheld notable.
Check out Adam’s full video from Computex to get a closer look at the quality of the 8.8″ 144Hz OLED display as well as the ways in which the OneXPlayer 3 can be used as a handheld, tablet or laptop.
