ONEXPLAYER 2 Pro
Upper-mid handheld with detachable controllers · Legacy — mostly discontinued / clearance
The 2 Pro brought magnetically detachable side controllers and an 8.4" 2560×1600 panel to ONEXPLAYER's mid-range, first on the 7840U and later refreshed with the lighter, more efficient 8840U. Reviews split on the detachable controllers — NotebookCheck scored it 84.9%, PC Gamer found them "wobbly" — and it lacks OCuLink, relying on USB4 for eGPU. Now mostly discontinued/clearance.

- Sharp 8.4" 2560×1600 IPS panel
