Abxylute will promote an absurd 3D handheld from Intel and Tencent Video games for “beneath $1,700”

As the hand-held PC growth has taken off, firms have tried to push the boundaries of the Steam Deck type issue Valve helped popularize. Lenovo tried detachable controllers. Acer is trying an 11-inch screen. And Abxylute is seemingly combining them each (after which some) into the Abxylute 3D One, which The Verge reports options an 11-inch, glasses-free 3D show and removable controllers, all for “beneath $1,700.”

The Abxylute 3D One relies on a {hardware} prototype co-developed by Intel and Tencent that the businesses demoed at CES 2025. The prototype, dubbed the “Sunday Dragon 3D One,” featured a show that used eye-tracking to realize its 3D impact. The model Abxylute is promoting appears to be providing roughly the identical options, with an Intel Lunar Lake chip, 32GB of LPDDR5X RAM, an 120Hz show and a built-in kickstand.

“Abxylute claims the product’s particularly optimized to ship 3D for 50 of the highest Steam video games,” The Verge writes, although it may also be used for greater than gaming if you happen to’re determined. The Abxylute 3D One will embody software program for changing 2D photographs and video to 3D, and a removable keyboard accent full with a trackpad.

No a part of what Abxylute is providing right here appears notably sensible, however if you happen to like 3D and are into the corporate’s maximalist strategy, you could possibly be getting a deal. Acer’s 11-inch handheld, the Acer Nitro Blaze 11, begins at $1,100. A 3D laptop computer just like the ASUS ProArt Studiobook 16 begins at $2,000. The Abxylute 3D One might approximate the options of each for a reasonably affordable value within the center.

Which may not make up for the truth that it appears too heavy to carry for greater than half-hour at a time, however you’ll be able to put that to the check your self when the Abxylute 3D One goes on sale in “late September or early October.”
