If you’ve been eyeing the powerful new OneXFly Apex gaming handheld, your window for getting one at its launch price is rapidly closing. In a move that has caught the attention of the portable gaming community, One-Netbook has announced a significant price increase for its flagship device, set to take effect in just a matter of days.
The announcement comes less than a month after the OneXPlayer sub-brand launched the Apex model on Indiegogo, positioning it as a direct competitor to the anticipated GPD Win 5. The OneXFly Apex was already a step up in both performance and price from other models in the lineup, such as the OneXFly F1 Pro (currently available for $1,439 on Amazon), but this new increase pushes it further into the premium segment.
Launch Pricing is Now a Limited-Time Offer
When the campaign went live, the entry point for the OneXFly Apex was a compelling $1,399. For that, backers received a formidable package: 32 GB of RAM, a 1 TB SSD, and the heart of the system—an AMD Ryzen AI Max 385 APU with its integrated Radeon 8050S graphics.
Gamers seeking the absolute top-tier performance could opt for models featuring the more potent Radeon 8060S iGPU. This required stepping up to the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 SKUs, starting at $1,599, or for the ultimate thermal solution, the special liquid cooling variant at $1,659.
Unfortunately, those initial price points are about to become a memory.
The Impending Price Hike: What You Need to Know
One-Netbook has confirmed that effective Monday, December 1, the OneXFly Apex will see a substantial price increase. The new starting price will be $1,599 for the base model, with the liquid-cooled version jumping to $1,659.
The company officially attributes this decision to "continued component cost increases" and the depletion of its existing inventory of RAM and SSDs. In a recent social media post, the company broke the news to its followers, applying a uniform $200 surcharge across the board.

This represents a jump of over 14% for the base model, a considerable increase in a short amount of time. Perhaps more concerning for potential buyers is the company's additional warning: this may not be the last increase. One-Netbook has hinted that a second price hike could occur before the Indiegogo campaign concludes on December 31.
A Competitive Landscape Heats Up
The timing of this increase places the OneXFly Apex in an even more competitive spot. While it boasts significant power advantages over its stablemates like the OneXFly F1 Pro on Amazon, the rising cost brings it closer to, and in some cases surpasses, the expected pricing of its direct rivals. For serious portable gamers, the decision to invest now becomes a calculation of guaranteed access at a known price versus waiting for potential reviews and competitor announcements.
The Bottom Line: Act Fast or Pay More
The message from One-Netbook is clear: the current pricing is a fleeting opportunity. For anyone who was already considering backing the OneXFly Apex for its top-end AMD Ryzen AI Max processors and advanced cooling options, the next few days are critical. Locking in a unit before the December 1st deadline could result in savings of $200 or more, especially if the threatened second price increase materializes before the New Year.

Important Update:

Due to depleted APEX memory and SSD inventory, along with continued component cost increases, the APEX Indiegogo pricing will be adjusted in 96 hours.
A second price adjustment may also be required if market conditions continue to change.
