One-Netbook isn’t wasting time passing rising component costs on to buyers. Less than a month after the OneXFly Apex debuted on Indiegogo, the company has confirmed a sharp $200 price jump coming December 1. According to One-Netbook, surging memory prices and tightening SSD supply are forcing the increase.
OneXFly Apex starts at $1,599 from December 1
Originally launched at $1,399, the OneXFly Apex packs 32GB of RAM, 1TB of storage, and AMD’s Ryzen AI Max 385 APU with a Radeon 8050S GPU. If you wanted the more powerful Radeon 8060S chip, pricing started at $1,599 or $1,659 for the optional liquid-cooled version.
Starting Monday, those same models will jump to $1,599 and $1,659 respectively, with the higher-end variant likely pushing well beyond $1,700 soon if demand holds. One-Netbook has warned that a second price hike could follow before the Indiegogo campaign closes on December 31.
Samsung's HBM4 memory costs Nvidia double, pushing 3.3 TB/s bandwidth future GPU and AI chip prices may rise in 2026.
One-Netbook blames RAM and SSD supply issues
In a public statement, One-Netbook cited “continued component cost increases,” pointing specifically to RAM and SSD shortages. The company’s messaging reflects a broader trend across the tech sector, with memory prices climbing rapidly due to overwhelming demand from AI chipmakers like Nvidia.
It’s not just the Apex that’s impacted, OneXFly and other portable gaming systems are increasingly vulnerable to cost spikes as suppliers prioritize high-volume enterprise orders over boutique gaming hardware.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the pricing shift:
- Current Price (until Nov 30):
- Apex (8050S): $1,399
- Apex (8060S): $1,599
- Apex (Liquid-Cooled): $1,659
- New Price (starting Dec 1):
- Apex (8050S): $1,599
- Apex (8060S): $1,799 (expected)
- Apex (Liquid-Cooled): $1,859 (expected)
More price bumps possible before December 31
The warning is clear: buy now or pay more later. As component inventory continues to dry up, One-Netbook could increase prices again before the campaign ends. And while $200 might seem steep, the company notes that the underlying memory costs have risen even more sharply behind the scenes.
For those holding out for a price drop or holiday discount, don’t. The OneXFly Apex isn’t getting cheaper anytime soon. If anything, it’s a preview of what the rest of the gaming handheld market may face heading into 2026.
