Industry observers note that we’ve already seen the first few models at Computex in Taiwan. There’s a fresh wave of handheld tech industry PCs coming out in 2026 and they’re packing Intel’s fresh Arc G3 Extreme chips.
According to the latest update, pCWorld’s Adam Patrick Murray has been there all week recording what it’s like to be on the show floor, including a recent hands-on encounter with the fresh OneXPlayer 3 handheld tech industry PC.
According to the latest update, the most notable resemblance is the fact that the OneXPlayer 3 has a pair of detachable controllers that slide off the sides à la the Nintendo Switch, but there’s more that makes this crowdfunded handheld notable. This is one of the first few Arc G3 Extreme handhelds that we’ve had a chance to check out (the MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ is another), and it’s basically a turbocharged Lenovo Legion Go 2.
