OneXPlayer M1 mini PC debuts with Core Ultra 9 185H CPU, 32GB of RAM and OCuLink port

What just happened? One-Netbook, known for popular gaming handhelds like the OneXPlayer, has launched a new mini PC called the OneXPlayer M1. The device, currently listed on Indiegogo, is similar in look and feel to the OneXGPU eGPU enclosure the company released earlier this year.

The OneXPlayer M1 has a small footprint, measuring only 200 x 120 x 32mm and weighing only 0.6kg (just over 1.32 lbs). Despite its tiny size, it offers robust computing power thanks to the Core Ultra 9 185H processor powering the rig. The company claims the mini PC will excel at various demanding workloads, including gaming, video editing, software development, and AI analytics.

However, the OneXPlayer M1's small form factor limits its number of slots, so buyers must cope with only one M.2 2280 SSD slot for an internal storage unit. The device also has just one SODIMM slot with support for up to 32GB of DDR5-5600 memory, but the single slot means no dual-channel memory support for optimum performance.

Despite the inherent limitations of a mini PC, the M1 offers several ports and connectivity options on the outside, including two USB4 Type-C, one USB 2.0 Type-A, one USB 3.2 Type-A, and two HDMI ports. It also supports DisplayPort, RJ45 Ethernet, 3.5mm audio connectivity, and a microSD 4.0 card reader.

The M1 also offers OCuLink (PCIe 4.0 x4) connectivity, allowing users to connect a compatible OCuLink dock, like the OneXGPU enclosure. The device also includes an RGB button to activate its lighting and a Turbo button to enable toggle Performance Mode. Wireless connectivity options include WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2. Finally, the M1 comes with a 100-watt USB Type-C power supply that should be good enough for the meager requirements of the tiny PC.

Pre-orders have started for the OneXPlayer M1 in Japan. The computer starts at 142,310 yen (around $912 US) for the base model with 32GB of RAM and 1TB of storage (via Liliputing). The M1 is also listed on Indiegogo, meaning we're likely looking at a future global release. However, the company has no official word on when that might happen.

Mobile CPUs need a naming scheme that makes sense. I have no idea what ultra 9 185H is.

Mobile CPUs need a naming scheme that makes sense. I have no idea what ultra 9 185H is.

I always have to google the names of these CPU's to try and figure out exactly what it is. Then I have to investigate to see where it falls in the lineup, if it is the most recent.

The naming SUCKS

Just in cases anyone doesn't already know about it, you can easily find Intel hardware specs at The Ark. https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark.html

Is it not the same, 9 7 5? the 3 digit number for sub model

Mobile parts are notorious, from both Intel and AMD, for having confusing naming schemes and specs that may not match what the model number would imply. Core counts, with/without HT, cache size, frequency, TDP, integrated graphics, etc can be all over the place.

Always look up specifics about them before purchasing.

That Oculink port looks like a suspiciously repurposed HDMI port
