OneXPlayer paused APEX sales to review pricing amid DRAM and SSD spikes. Preorders stay intact, and a $200 increase may apply when sales resume soon worldwide.

OneXPlayer has temporarily halted sales of the APEX as it reassesses prices and configurations amid a sharp run-up in memory and SSD costs. Current inventory has already been allocated to preorders, and fresh sales will resume only after the company completes a full component review and signs off on a revised price list. The timing underscores how volatile component pricing remains.
The pause follows a November 27 update in which OneXPlayer warned that every APEX configuration could see a $200 increase. At the time of publication, the higher pricing had not yet taken effect, but the company acknowledged that previously announced tags can’t be sustained under current market conditions. Rising DRAM and SSD prices have forced a recalculation of costs before shipments continue.
APEX ranks among the most capable Windows handhelds. The device is offered with AMD’s Ryzen AI Max Pro 385 or Ryzen AI Max+ 395, pairs an 8-inch 120 Hz display with LPDDR5X memory ranging from 32 GB to 128 GB, and uses PCIe 4.0 storage up to 2 TB. Some versions ship with an 85 Wh external battery and optional liquid cooling, and the stated TDP is tuned for sustained gaming.
The initial starting price was $1,399 for the 32 GB RAM model, which analysts believe is likely to see the smallest bump. The top configuration cost $2,299; with a $200 surcharge, that would shift to $2,499. Company representatives said all existing orders will be fulfilled, with stock sufficient to cover accepted preorders. For a device already in the premium bracket, an extra $200 is hard to ignore.
OneXPlayer said it will share an update once supplier talks conclude and warehouse inventories are repriced. For would-be buyers, the practical question now is how much the final tag climbs when sales reopen.
