1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,920
The Absolute 3D1 is the first handheld

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:13,200
gaming PC with support for stereoscopic 3D gaming with

3
00:00:08,559 --> 00:00:15,759
no glasses required. That is a pretty

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:20,080
wild proposition. How did they manage to bring this technology to market first?

5
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:24,400
Well, it's possible that they out competed all the other teams who were

6
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:29,760
trying to build such a product. It's also possible. [laughter]

7
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:32,960
Wow, it's really big.

8
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:36,719
It's also possible that nobody else was

9
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:39,955
trying to build glassesfree stereoscopic

10
00:00:36,719 --> 00:00:40,610
gaming into a

11
00:00:39,955 --> 00:00:47,920
[cough] [clears throat] handheld PC form factor.

12
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:51,840
Oh my gosh. In fairness to Absolute,

13
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:55,920
their marketing materials for the 3D1 do

14
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:59,199
kind of lean pretty heavily on eh using

15
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:03,520
it as more like a gaming tablet with a

16
00:00:59,199 --> 00:01:06,320
kickstand and then ah yeah detaching the

17
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:10,560
removable controllers, which almost certainly makes a lot more sense,

18
00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:14,159
especially when you consider how the 3D screen works. But we'll get to that in a

19
00:01:12,479 --> 00:01:20,080
minute. First, let's finish taking a look at the included accessories. You

20
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:22,880
get this USBC to C cable. We also get a

21
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:27,240
actually really nice carrying case with kind of a velvety interior.

22
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:35,119
Shout out my Australian viewers. Ooh, [cheering]

23
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:37,439
a charging grip for the controllers. So,

24
00:01:35,119 --> 00:01:41,920
they do have their own internal battery. They'll run for a little while off of

25
00:01:39,119 --> 00:01:47,040
that. Or you can put them on this ergonomic central piece.

26
00:01:46,111 --> 00:01:53,399
[gasps] It's kind of like a Joycon grip except

27
00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:53,399
if it was a spaceship.

28
00:01:53,971 --> 00:02:01,680
[screaming] Wow. Is it ever bottom heavy? Man,

29
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:05,920
you'll need one of these. This is kind of like the the setups that they have

30
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:09,840
for like RC. No, no, I'm kidding. Uh this is a strap for the carrying case,

31
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:16,640
which makes a lot of sense. Goes on the loops right here. And finally, you get a

32
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:19,200
uh wamping charging brick. This boy is

33
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:23,840
rated at 100 watts maximum. We only ever saw it charge at an average of about 35

34
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:28,400
watts with both this charger and a known good third party one. So, it took a

35
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:31,840
little over 2 hours to charge. Not the fastest charging device we've ever seen.

36
00:02:30,239 --> 00:02:38,080
The last accessory I want to look at right now is a keyboard cover. Goes on a

37
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:42,080
little something like that. Oh, nice strong magnets though. Got to give them

38
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:45,920
credit for that. Let's do a tour of all the IO. At the back, we've got the

39
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:50,160
kickstand that we already took a look at. Metal, by the way. Pretty

40
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:54,160
satisfying. And we've also got an intake vent as well as a hint as to what

41
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:57,280
hardware we might find inside. Oo, Intel. But we'll get into that in a

42
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:00,400
little more detail later. We've got programmable buttons on the back. They

43
00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:03,599
can be programmed with single functions, but we didn't have any luck programming

44
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:07,760
them with macros. Then we've got these releases for the detachable controllers.

45
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:12,560
Up at the top, things get a little bit more exciting. We've got linear triggers

46
00:03:10,319 --> 00:03:17,120
as well as our shoulder buttons alongside a vent, which the cooling

47
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:21,840
system of this thing performed admirably in our testing, holding up well against

48
00:03:18,959 --> 00:03:25,680
the MSI Claw AI8 Plus, which features a very similar hardware platform. We've

49
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:30,159
also got a micro SD [music] slot, 3 and a half millimeter audio jack,

50
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:33,599
Thunderbolt 4, as well as what they call

51
00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:35,840
a full function USBC port. I think that

52
00:03:33,599 --> 00:03:41,680
is to say that it supports display out, a USB type A port, volume rocker, power

53
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:43,599
button, and a toggle switch between 2D

54
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:48,000
and 3D mode that is not in fact a toggle, but is rather a momentary

55
00:03:45,519 --> 00:03:52,799
switch. Okay, we'll have to talk about that later. On the bottom, we have the

56
00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:56,640
interface for our keyboard folio as well as downfiring speakers. On the front,

57
00:03:54,799 --> 00:04:02,400
we've got an eight direction D-pad as well as hall effect joysticks, full size

58
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:06,720
ones, I might add. Some buttons I'm going to have to figure out along with

59
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:09,760
our start select and our actually pretty

60
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:13,360
nice feeling ABXYs. We also get a pair

61
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:16,320
of touch pads just like the Steam Deck.

62
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:23,280
Ooh, it's kind of hard to see, but finally, we've got a front-facing webcam

63
00:04:18,799 --> 00:04:26,639
as well as, that's right, an eyetracking

64
00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:28,560
sensor. So, Absolute didn't disclose the

65
00:04:26,639 --> 00:04:33,120
exact technology that they're using for their glasses free 3D on this display,

66
00:04:31,199 --> 00:04:37,040
but we know that similar products use a combination of eyetracking and

67
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:41,520
adjustable lenticular lenses over top of the display to help defract the light

68
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:46,560
and ensure that each eye sees only the correct side image. Let's go ahead and

69
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:50,800
fire it up. And let's fire up this segue to our sponsor, War Thunder. It's one of

70
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:55,520
the most comprehensive vehicle combat games ever made available on PC,

71
00:04:53,120 --> 00:05:01,040
consoles, and now mobile devices. It's highly immersive due to the use of real

72
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:03,520
war vehicles from the past 100 years.

73
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:09,120
Take your pick from over 2500 planes, copters, ships, and tanks, all from 10

74
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:12,479
major nations. So, join over 70 million players on the battlefield by checking

75
00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:16,479
our link in the video description. >> Oh, okay. Is this Absolute launcher? You

76
00:05:15,039 --> 00:05:22,000
know, that really is what the world needed is more interfaces to look at all

77
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:25,360
of my games. There's non-game stuff in here as well. There's some key settings.

78
00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:30,240
Can go ahead and adjust your performance profile, change your joystick dead zone,

79
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:35,840
as well as your trigger dead zones. Oh, and you can remap buttons, specifically

80
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:40,080
these two buttons, and specifically to these functions. Let's play a game.

81
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:45,520
Shadow of the Tomb Raider is apparently a great choice for experiencing this

82
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:49,600
device both in 2D as well as 3D. The

83
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:53,720
device features a whopping 10.95

84
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,720
in 2560x600

85
00:05:53,919 --> 00:06:01,280
120 Hz IPS type display that maxes out

86
00:05:57,199 --> 00:06:04,720
at they claim about 480 nits, but we

87
00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:07,600
actually measured just a hair shy of 500

88
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:14,960
nits. So, no, it's not HDR, but what it is is high density, flipping gorgeous,

89
00:06:11,919 --> 00:06:16,720
and fluid thanks to its 120 Hz refresh

90
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:20,560
rate. I don't think there's any point in us trying to run this at native

91
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:27,160
resolution. So, let's go with 1600 by 1200. That may be doable. Oh, here we

92
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,160
go. Here we go. Big moment.

93
00:06:27,280 --> 00:06:36,160
Okay. Not quite what I was expecting. Full screen, please.

94
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:39,120
Now 3D.

95
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:46,880
Whoa. See, you guys can't see this, but I can.

96
00:06:43,759 --> 00:06:49,600
And it is something

97
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:54,000
definitely a bit of like like kind of jutteriness when I when I

98
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:57,360
move around. But if I get if I get locked in, I I'm I feel pretty good

99
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:01,360
about this. There's a number of different ways that it can apply a 3D

100
00:06:59,039 --> 00:07:05,759
effect to your game. The first is integration at the engine level where

101
00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:09,919
the engine is actually telling it what the depth values are for all of the

102
00:07:07,599 --> 00:07:13,599
various items on screen. There's about 50 titles for that right now. We'll pop

103
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:18,479
that up on screen. There's also games that support sidebyside 3D which is

104
00:07:15,599 --> 00:07:24,400
often used when gaming in a VR headset. Finally, they claim to be able to use AI

105
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:28,800
to add depth to both games and videos. We'll try that a little bit later. In

106
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:32,560
the meantime, Shadow of the Tomb Raider is one of the games that supposedly is

107
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:37,440
supported at an engine level. I can tell you now it's running at about 15 FPS.

108
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:41,759
So, the first thing we're going to need to do is turn down the resolution a

109
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:45,440
little bit, which on a display this size, it's not something I really wanted

110
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:50,319
to do. I want more brightness. Definitely best enjoy it in a darker

111
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:58,080
environment. That is running like absolute dog poo right now. Um, it's

112
00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:01,440
very 3D though. Like it's, you know, that thing. It's back there, you know.

113
00:07:59,919 --> 00:08:07,120
Can you see how choppy it's running though? Okay. Is this just a Is this

114
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:09,599
just because Oh, wow. Yeah, we're in 2D

115
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:13,440
mode now and it's running. Awesome. I thought the performance difference isn't

116
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:18,639
supposed to be so bad. Wait, this is the AI one. Why is it using the AI

117
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:23,039
accelerated one? Apparently, they chose Intel's platform because of the strength

118
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:28,479
of the NPU, the neural processor for this kind of AI enhancement. But, you

119
00:08:25,199 --> 00:08:30,160
know, wow, the the AI effect one works

120
00:08:28,479 --> 00:08:34,479
surprisingly well. Okay, I'm going to relaunch the game because I did notice

121
00:08:32,560 --> 00:08:39,440
when I first launched it, it seems to be running side by side. So, let's give it

122
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:42,320
another shot from from outside of the game. They have a background utility

123
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:45,200
that launches when you turn on the system to manage the 3D switching. Okay,

124
00:08:44,660 --> 00:08:51,120
[music] that's the Arc Graphics software. Speaking of Arc Graphics, a major red

125
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:55,760
flag for me on this device is that Absolute does not recommend that you

126
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:59,839
update your graphics drivers. That could impact the 3D experience. And uh

127
00:08:59,071 --> 00:09:04,560
[clears throat] ARC drivers are drivers that generally

128
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:08,240
speaking you would you would want to upgrade. All right, let's try launching

129
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:12,480
the game again. Okay, there's no like I want to do this in 3D or anything like

130
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:17,120
that. Oh, nice little overlay, though. Okay. Was it using AI for this? Native

131
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:21,200
3D mode. Okay. So, this is native 3D. Oh, wow. The the menu looks really cool.

132
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:26,720
The selected items pop up and stuff. That's cool. Okay. Is there just a 3D

133
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:34,240
mode in here? Oh, for crying out loud. Here it is. Stereoscopic on now.

134
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:36,320
Native 3D mode. All right. Okay. It was

135
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:40,480
user error. It's running better, which is good. There's surprisingly little

136
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:44,880
cross talk between the eyes. And now that we're using native 3D data, I'm

137
00:09:42,399 --> 00:09:48,560
actually getting not just depth past the display, but I'm also getting things

138
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:52,160
popping out towards me, which is pretty cool. Should I switch to an all black

139
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:57,279
hoodie? What does that look like on camera? Oh, yeah. I guess. Wow, that's weird. Yeah, you can see both sides of

140
00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:02,399
the image. >> Yeah. >> So, you guys see the blur, but to me,

141
00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:08,480
it's clean. Really good depth effect. This thing is really heavy. Even resting

142
00:10:04,959 --> 00:10:10,560
my arms, it's like GPD Win five level of

143
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:15,279
heavy, which is surprising given that it doesn't have that big of a battery. It

144
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:19,120
only has a 50Wh hour battery, which means that when you're running it in the

145
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:23,839
highest power profile playing intense games, you're looking at less than an

146
00:10:21,519 --> 00:10:27,680
hour of continuous gaming time. In our endurance test, it did do quite a bit

147
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:32,399
better at about 5 hours, which I'm honestly kind of surprised by given the

148
00:10:29,519 --> 00:10:37,760
size of this screen. But most of the time you're going to be gaming, not

149
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:40,800
watching lightweight video. Whoa, that

150
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:42,399
is a really, really good 3D effect. I

151
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:45,600
guess now is as good a time as any to kind of talk through the specs. I

152
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:51,760
already mentioned the processor that we're using. So, it's an 8 core Core

153
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:55,519
Ultra 7 200 series. We've got 32 gigs of

154
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:58,800
LPDDR5X memory, Wi-Fi 6E only, which is

155
00:10:55,519 --> 00:11:00,079
a little curious, Bluetooth 5.3, and I

156
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:06,640
guess I kind of covered most of the other stuff. Oh, this looks so good, but

157
00:11:03,519 --> 00:11:09,279
this is definitely going to be a niche

158
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:14,480
device at the kind of pricing they have for it. The early bird price is $1,500,

159
00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:20,000
which I kind of get given the price of RAM and the unique value proposition of

160
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:22,000
the giant screen, the kickstand, the

161
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:27,120
detachable controllers, not to mention the 3D functionality.

162
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:33,360
But [sighs] I still think when you look at that compared to something like an RG

163
00:11:28,959 --> 00:11:35,360
Xbox or MSI Claw AI 8 Plus, which has

164
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:39,120
functionally the same hardware just with a smaller screen, it's going to be a

165
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:43,600
tough one. And not every game is going to look this good. Let's go ahead and

166
00:11:41,519 --> 00:11:46,880
find a game that doesn't look this good, which will be basically any other game.

167
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:52,000
Labs didn't love the ergonomics of the controllers. I can't say I love them

168
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:53,680
either, but if you have big hands, um I

169
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:57,360
guess you'll be okay. Like, it kind of assumes maybe you're pressing these with

170
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:01,360
your ring fingers if you want to be able to reach the shoulders and the triggers.

171
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:04,640
The quality of the controllers is not something that I would fault, but the

172
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:08,160
layout and the [music] and the way the weight sits on you, I'd say, is a little

173
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:12,720
weird. They're bottom heavy when you're using them without the actual center

174
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:16,160
screen, but they're probably weighted about right when you're holding it like

175
00:12:14,399 --> 00:12:19,360
this. Getting that balance where they work great both attached and not

176
00:12:17,839 --> 00:12:22,959
attached was probably a pretty tough challenge. I guess while I'm waiting for

177
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:27,040
this game to launch, I can try out the trackpad and the keyboard. Trackpad

178
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:30,160
feels good. That's not something I like to see while I'm typing on something. It

179
00:12:28,959 --> 00:12:36,800
just kind of moving around like that. Let's see if it actually impacts anything. It's a small trackpad, but Oh.

180
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:40,639
Oh, no. I'd like I like to be able to press here and also drag [music] and

181
00:12:38,399 --> 00:12:46,000
it's really flaky. Oh. Oh, I got it to work.

182
00:12:42,560 --> 00:12:48,320
Oh, wow. Yep. The bounce is as bad as I

183
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:51,760
hoped it wouldn't be. Also, these arrow keys are [music] ass. And short

184
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:56,720
backspace keys are ass. But hey, at least you have full size shift. So, uh,

185
00:12:53,519 --> 00:12:58,399
good job. It's usable and keeps your

186
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:01,360
screen safe. Look at that. I knew the battery life wasn't great, but I have

187
00:12:59,839 --> 00:13:06,240
lost 40% [music] while I've been working on this. That is

188
00:13:03,279 --> 00:13:10,720
not amazing. Hey. All right. Well, this is dog ass. That

189
00:13:08,959 --> 00:13:16,320
right there, that is exactly what it looks like to me. So, the frame rate

190
00:13:13,214 --> 00:13:18,240
[music] cuts to like a third and the

191
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:21,440
image gets dark and it is blurry. I don't know. The green dot seems to

192
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:27,120
indicate that it is tracking my eyes cuz you can see it goes yellow and it's not looking at me. Okay, let's try it again.

193
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:32,639
Let's give it another shot. Utterly illeible. Um, okay. So, your mileage is

194
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:37,600
definitely going to vary. Okay, Street Fighter 6 demo. I feel better about this

195
00:13:34,959 --> 00:13:43,040
one. Capcom wouldn't let me down. 3D mode. AI 3D. Okay, it works in this

196
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:46,320
game. And the performance seems fine for

197
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:48,240
the most part. Wow. Oh, wow. Those

198
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:52,639
trees, like instead of the little individual bits of foliage, you know,

199
00:13:50,639 --> 00:13:57,600
kind of poking out or poking in or whatever else, it just came out like a

200
00:13:54,560 --> 00:13:59,680
big bulge. Some stuff is handled pretty

201
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:03,839
well, though. Like my buddy in the foreground here. Like I can almost like

202
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:08,880
I could almost cup those cheeks, you know? Oh yeah. And like the hair it just

203
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:12,720
like it's like someone put their fist behind his head and just like [snorts]

204
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:18,880
stuck it out through the screen. Like it just I mean it's something

205
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:23,839
like it's cool. Oh, it's it's kind of distracting. where there isn't like a

206
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:26,320
clear contrast like here like his chest

207
00:14:23,839 --> 00:14:31,839
is coming out like but then his head it it doesn't have

208
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:35,760
enough contrast against this building. So it's like back like this. So he's

209
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:40,720
like oh the way the text like wraps around

210
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:44,720
anything that's popping out or popping in around it is pretty nauseating

211
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:48,079
honestly. It's not great. Not nauseating but headacheinducing. The 3D headache.

212
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:51,440
You know, the one that's like right in here, you know, like where your brain

213
00:14:50,079 --> 00:14:56,680
freezes when you have too much ice cream. All right. Fighting in 3D. Whoa.

214
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:07,199
It's something. It's 3D. It pops out some games. It doesn't completely trash

215
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:11,199
the performance and it does give it more depth. I personally wouldn't choose to

216
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:16,560
use it. I think I'd rather just have my display be brighter and have my performance be better for the most part.

217
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:20,959
Let's try video. We have to be full screen for the 3D effect to work. Okay,

218
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:24,399
this is pretty cool. I would expect it to work better in animation than other

219
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:27,680
things. Little bit of cross talk. Okay, the text is doing the funky thing where

220
00:15:25,839 --> 00:15:33,760
it wraps around stuff again. Okay, that was super funky. Like that apple has

221
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:35,040
weird like grass that's closer to it. If

222
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:39,920
I wasn't looking for any of this though and I was just, you know, watching this.

223
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:44,079
Yeah, I'd say it would add some immersion.

224
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:49,680
Would I rather just watch like this though? Yeah, probably. I am a 3D

225
00:15:46,079 --> 00:15:51,360
enthusiast, but I like good 3D. So,

226
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:57,639
that's where I'm at on that. You know what? First, crab rave. Wait. Plus is on

227
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,639
the left.

228
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:10,639
Oh, until I brought up the interface. Oh. Ah, stop. Oh, god. Wow. Until I

229
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:13,440
brought up the interface, the 3D in Crab

230
00:16:10,639 --> 00:16:18,800
was actually pretty good. Speakers are fine. Basically, no kind of [music]

231
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:23,360
depth or or bass. They're they're clear. They get pretty loud. Oh man, this

232
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:28,079
part's really [music] good. I'm [snorts] clearly in the foreground and like the

233
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:33,759
house is clearly way back there. Man, when it's good, it's really cool. And

234
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:38,480
then all the rest of the times it's pretty rough.

235
00:16:35,759 --> 00:16:43,759
Oh man. Photos. Apparently, by the way, they have support for Apple's u spatial

236
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:48,320
photos, which is pretty cool. Oh, dude. Oh, that photo looked so good. This

237
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:53,360
video is really hard, but th this is crazy.

238
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:55,759
This is like AI enhanced. Would I watch

239
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:59,839
the video like this? Maybe sometimes. Selectively, I might turn it on. It's

240
00:16:57,519 --> 00:17:01,440
pretty cool. I'd have a really hard time justifying the price of it, though.

241
00:17:01,156 --> 00:17:07,199
[music] >> I think it adds It adds to it. >> It It does, right? Like I'm not paying

242
00:17:05,679 --> 00:17:10,799
for a 3D movie at a theater, but like just sitting and watching it does feel

243
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:15,520
like you are more there. >> Yeah, right. >> Yeah, that's impressive.

244
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:19,600
>> And you're right. You're not paying for a 3D movie at a theater. You're paying a

245
00:17:17,679 --> 00:17:23,520
lot more than what you would pay for a 3D movie at a theater. I think that's

246
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,959
about everything to talk about other than the performance. We did mention the

247
00:17:25,039 --> 00:17:31,679
hardware, but we didn't mention that Absolute has not managed to squeeze as

248
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:37,840
much performance out of this hardware as the MSI Claw AI8 Plus. Uh we found that

249
00:17:35,919 --> 00:17:41,919
even in the same power profile, we weren't really able to get quite the

250
00:17:39,919 --> 00:17:46,240
same level of turbo and therefore not quite the same frame rates at our

251
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:49,679
various resolutions across our various games. [music]

252
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:54,720
This is the kind of product that I wish you could buy with a return policy. You

253
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:57,840
know that you could try before you buy, but you're just going to have to say,

254
00:17:55,679 --> 00:18:02,400
"Nope, I'm a big 3D enthusiast and I'm going to [music] go for it." Good luck

255
00:17:59,919 --> 00:18:07,679
with that. That's about all I have to say about that now, though. So subscribe

256
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,679
to ShortCircuit.
