"There comes a point in every consumer tech writer's career where they have to lie down on the railroad tracks and take the heat for a tech category nobody else believes in. For me, it's stereoscopic, glasses-less 3D screens. So when I agreed to test the Abxylute 3D One, a tablet-sized handheld PC, it only made my lust for stereoscopic screens grow ever more heated."
"It misses out on anything resembling good battery life for its size, despite its good performance. Beyond all else, the 3D One fails to deliver on its main promise. Based on my tests with a pre-production unit Abxylute sent me for review, you can get a 3D effect in all your games, but they weren't playable by any stretch of the imagination."
"Abxylute 3D One The Abxylute a handheld built for people with big hands who want the largest screen possible. At the same time, the promised 3D effect can't live up to the hype. Could the 3D One ever be my one handheld I take everywhere? Of course not. Look at the size of that thing. In its plus-sized case, it would take up most of the room in my backpack, whereas a laptop and a controller would eat half that space."
Abxylute 3D One combines a large tablet-sized screen, removable gamepads, an attachable keyboard, and Intel mobile-chip performance in a heavy, 2.45-pound handheld. The device aims to produce stereoscopic, glasses-less 3D gameplay but the implemented 3D effects compromise playability across tested games. Performance is strong and comparable to existing handhelds like the MSI Claw 8, yet battery life is poor for the device's size. The unit is physically large and impractical for everyday portability, occupying significant backpack space compared with a laptop and controller. Early-bird pricing on Kickstarter starts around $1,500 with expected higher retail pricing. Updates could improve the 3D experience.
