Title: Abxylute will sell an absurd 3D handheld from Intel and Tencent Games
for "under $1,700"

As the handheld PC boom has taken off, companies have tried to push the
boundaries of the Steam Deck form factor Valve helped popularize. Lenovo
tried detachable controllers. Acer is trying an 11-inch screen. And Abxylute
is apparently combining them both (and then some) into the Abxylute 3D One,
which The Verge reports features an 11-inch, glasses-free 3D display and
detachable controllers, all for "under $1,700."

The Abxylute 3D One is based on a hardware prototype co-developed by Intel
and Tencent that the companies demoed at CES 2025. The prototype, dubbed the
"Sunday Dragon 3D One," featured a display that used eye-tracking to achieve
its 3D effect. The version Abxylute is selling seems to be offering more or
less the same features, with an Intel Lunar Lake chip, 32GB of LPDDR5X RAM,
an 120Hz display and a built-in kickstand.

The Abxylute 3D One's controllers can detach like Joy-Cons, which leaves it
looking like a chunky Surface Pro.Abxylute

"Abxylute claims the productΓÇÖs specifically optimized to deliver 3D for 50
of the top Steam games," The Verge writes, though it can also be used for
more than gaming if you're desperate. The Abxylute 3D One will include
software for converting 2D photos and video to 3D, and a detachable keyboard
accessory complete with a trackpad.

No part of what Abxylute is offering here seems particularly practical, but
if you like 3D and are into the company's maximalist approach, you could be
getting a deal. Acer's 11-inch handheld, the Acer Nitro Blaze 11, starts at
$1,100. A 3D laptop like the ASUS ProArt Studiobook 16 starts at $2,000. The
Abxylute 3D One could approximate the features of both for a fairly
reasonable price in the middle.

That might not make up for the fact that it seems too heavy to hold for more
than 30 minutes at a time, but you can put that to the test yourself when the
Abxylute 3D One goes on sale in "late September or early October."
