WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.839 let me get this straight this is a computer 00:00:03.560 --> 00:00:08.639 and this is its monitor this raises a 00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:14.580 lot more questions than it answers like what's a J series Intel CPU and how on 00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:18.420 Earth did this raise over a million Canadian dollars on Indiegogo people 00:00:17.100 --> 00:00:22.699 really really small and a mouse this small look 00:00:22.859 --> 00:00:30.420 s like this tiny Segway PDQ automate patch management and 00:00:27.779 --> 00:00:35.160 software updates with PDQ search their

crap 00:00:43.860 --> 00:00:53.399 incredibly a fully fully cheered Windows 10 compatible PC complete with USBC 00:00:49.620 --> 00:00:56.219 power in three USB 3 ports a Micro SD 00:00:53.399 --> 00:01:00.780 reader HDMI out and even a headphone jack I know you can't take that kind of 00:00:58.379 --> 00:01:05.339 thing for granted these days but it's not even the computer that impressed me 00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:09.479 the most it's the accessory package it comes to us from a company called xdo.ai 00:01:07.740 --> 00:01:15.180 who completed their Indiegogo campaign way back in 2021 but only now appears to 00:01:13.140 --> 00:01:20.159 be actually shipping units out to their backers this thing in my hand is an 00:01:17.460 --> 00:01:25.619 accompanying Pico projector that seems to have well everything you'd expect 00:01:21.659 --> 00:01:28.799 HDMI input power button 5 volt power in 00:01:25.619 --> 00:01:30.600 ah little cover for the lens and even a 00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:34.680 built-in speaker if the audio controls anything to go by and it's not just that 00:01:32.580 --> 00:01:39.540 it's one of those adorable retractable cord mobile Mouse's Mouse 00:01:37.740 --> 00:01:44.340 it's not going to be a contender for world's smallest gaming PC shout out 00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:49.320 basically homeless HDMI to Mini HDMI cable we'll be using that for our setup 00:01:46.020 --> 00:01:51.060 little tiny tripod wow it comes with a 00:01:49.320 --> 00:01:53.659 remote okay what else am I looking at here oh 00:01:54.000 --> 00:02:00.119 stuff they seem to be engineering themselves other stuff they seem to be 00:01:57.299 --> 00:02:03.060 pretty much putting a sticker on and if you're wondering what leads me to 00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:09.599 the conclusion this is simply a re-badged product well for one thing it's USBC which isn't even compatible 00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:13.680 with the Pico PC so it comes with a c to a adapter and for another why would you 00:02:11.940 --> 00:02:19.500 add a Micro SD card reader to a product that has a trans flash card reader I 00:02:17.640 --> 00:02:22.379 mean hey look I'm not saying no to more expansion 00:02:20.760 --> 00:02:26.459 this is a really nice little carrying case though if the whole point is to 00:02:24.480 --> 00:02:31.140 have a little tiny computer why am I carrying it around on this there's a 00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:35.160 smaller version of the case whoa 00:02:31.140 --> 00:02:38.840 okay this is more like it I can have my 00:02:35.160 --> 00:02:41.519 whole computer my mouse my projector 00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:49.640 holy crap they're gonna have a lot of fun with this thing oh it's a battery 00:02:44.700 --> 00:02:49.640 Bank oh no way I didn't even notice 00:02:50.099 --> 00:02:57.660 that is awesome oh I'm loving this 00:02:54.780 --> 00:03:01.620 can I get my keyboard in here I don't know if I would describe this as the 00:02:59.220 --> 00:03:05.519 most cohesive ecosystem this cable apparently allows you to power both the 00:03:03.720 --> 00:03:09.120 projector and the computer off of the battery pack we'll take a closer look at 00:03:07.140 --> 00:03:14.700 that later first I want to crack this baby open whoa what a disappointment I 00:03:12.300 --> 00:03:17.840 brought my lethal tiny prototype LTT storage screwdriver 00:03:17.940 --> 00:03:24.959 and it's still not really a Precision driver it's more intended for hard to 00:03:21.900 --> 00:03:26.459 reach spaces bummer instead of directing 00:03:24.959 --> 00:03:31.940 you can't buy though I should direct you to the ShortCircuit hoodie oh actually 00:03:28.440 --> 00:03:36.440 that would be way better oh oh oh 00:03:31.940 --> 00:03:36.440 amazing you guys ready for this 00:03:36.959 --> 00:03:44.220 what this is bizarre they recommend configuring your Pantera PC 00:03:42.060 --> 00:03:49.019 not that one different Pantera with a larger SSD than you think you need which 00:03:46.739 --> 00:03:52.379 seems to suggest that it's going to be really hard to change after the fact if 00:03:50.580 --> 00:03:56.159 you end up needing more capacity but in fact that couldn't be farther from the 00:03:54.000 --> 00:04:01.860 truth this is just about the easiest Mini PC SSD swap that I've ever seen 00:03:58.980 --> 00:04:06.299 three plastic screws one fairly easily removable rubber gasket and then a 00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:12.120 single screw it's right there this is awesome yup that is about as generic as 00:04:09.239 --> 00:04:16.919 it gets it's called solid state drive lowercase state capital solid Capital 00:04:14.580 --> 00:04:21.479 Drive you might say it's a solid Drive no company that I recognize on either 00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:24.600 the controller or on the nand flash and it does not have a dram cache though 00:04:23.100 --> 00:04:28.259 that doesn't really surprise me at the price point for this system aside from 00:04:26.280 --> 00:04:31.979 being extremely small in size it's extremely small in price it should be 00:04:30.419 --> 00:04:35.759 noted though that that's early bird pricing if you gave them your money a 00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:40.560 year and a half ago the actual MSRP for these things is going to be 219 for the 00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:43.680 base model and go up to 399 for the 8 00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:44.940 gig RAM one terabyte storage model oh 00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:50.759 there's little plastic pins no this isn't so bad I won't break it don't worry I'm not gonna break it Jake 00:04:49.080 --> 00:04:58.100 oh hey there we go oh my God 00:04:52.860 --> 00:04:58.100 this thing is so cool 00:05:00.840 --> 00:05:07.080 there's our CMOS battery it's got a mid frame to separate the two boards from 00:05:05.280 --> 00:05:10.919 each other this appears to be the i o board if the label is anything to go by 00:05:08.699 --> 00:05:14.520 this appears to be a Micro SD card reader controller right here we're 00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:17.540 looking at a real Tech chip of some sort if I had to guess I'd say that's to do 00:05:16.020 --> 00:05:23.280 with the onboard audio USB 3 no idea though I suspect at least 00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:29.780 one of these ribbon cables is carrying a PCIe by four signal for this m.2 slot 00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:29.780 it's SATA oh 00:05:31.400 --> 00:05:36.960 what the heck is an Intel J series CPU 00:05:35.039 --> 00:05:42.060 what we're looking at in here is a quad core CPU that runs it up to 2.7 00:05:39.300 --> 00:05:47.039 gigahertz Burst 2 gigahertz base meaning that this thing could actually be 00:05:43.860 --> 00:05:51.360 reasonably capable if only I could get 00:05:47.039 --> 00:05:54.840 at it ah I see the screws the specific 00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:57.419 model is the Celeron j4125 and it is 00:05:54.840 --> 00:06:02.759 obviously designed for extremely low power applications it only supports a 00:05:59.520 --> 00:06:04.380 maximum of six PCIe Lanes at Gen 2 00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:09.720 speeds in spite of being actually relatively current product and it sips 00:06:06.780 --> 00:06:13.440 power at a 10 watt TDP in spite of its 14 nanometer manufacturing process there 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:17.400 are a couple of smart things I see in here first of all the wireless and 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:22.860 Bluetooth chipset here has the antennas glued onto it not in a like malicious 00:06:20.039 --> 00:06:25.199 anti-rite to repair way but in a hey we really don't want these to come loose in 00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:31.020 shipping because this is going to be a real nightmare this is super cool and then the air intake is basically handled 00:06:29.100 --> 00:06:34.020 through a grill right here that has a little stopper to make sure that it 00:06:32.280 --> 00:06:39.419 never gets compressed and blocks the fan from spinning and then there's a tiny 00:06:36.780 --> 00:06:43.860 Gap just enough I guess to get air to that 10 watt CPU that can then be 00:06:41.940 --> 00:06:50.639 exhausted out the side of the unit through uh yes this vent hole I can't 00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:53.520 believe how much computer is in here my 00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:59.160 gaming desktop when I met Yvonne was in a Silverstone tj07 and had a quad core 00:06:56.400 --> 00:07:05.759 CPU and 8 gigs of RAM what is this for lighting it has 00:07:01.979 --> 00:07:07.560 lighting nice this is awesome it's 00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:13.199 shockingly serviceable you know what Jake this m.2 slot is not keyed for SATA 00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:20.099 only there's no way that they would they would just use a SATA key to m.2 slot 00:07:17.460 --> 00:07:24.419 wow it's so little oh no this is too small you know what if I just put it in 00:07:22.620 --> 00:07:28.880 here I put a little one terabyte Sovereign Gen 4 Drive it'll probably 00:07:26.580 --> 00:07:28.880 work 00:07:34.500 --> 00:07:42.660 oh I can't use the keyboard in the BIOS 00:07:38.940 --> 00:07:45.060 because it's Bluetooth holy 00:07:42.660 --> 00:07:48.539 no way running into my Windows installer which is good whether or not it's going 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:53.720 to detect the NVMe drive is a whole other story 00:07:51.060 --> 00:07:53.720 come on 00:07:54.080 --> 00:07:58.400 ah drive not detected 00:07:59.099 --> 00:08:05.220 portable look at that it's got the blue lights 00:08:02.400 --> 00:08:14.340 that little cooling fan in there and watch this boom taller tripod oh 00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:17.280 yeah oh yeah it's got Auto Keystone uh 00:08:14.340 --> 00:08:22.979 it's not the brightest thing ever oh no way the projector is also running what 00:08:20.819 --> 00:08:26.160 Android I guess oh there's no batteries in the remote for the projector 00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:31.080 thankfully I have these handy dandy buttons on the top shut up is this a 00:08:27.960 --> 00:08:33.959 mouse it's a mouse it's a mouse Andy 00:08:31.080 --> 00:08:40.979 it's a track pad on the top are you kidding me yes I have a focus wheel oh 00:08:36.479 --> 00:08:43.140 that's sharp oh no way I could rear 00:08:40.979 --> 00:08:48.240 project and then I could put this in front of me and point it and sit behind 00:08:45.300 --> 00:08:51.540 the curtain oh there it goes given that it took a full minute to get to the sign 00:08:49.560 --> 00:08:55.140 in screen I think I'm done with the Android aspect of the projector let's 00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:59.700 switch to our HDMI input and try our Pico PC okay I'm triggered by the fact 00:08:57.360 --> 00:09:03.240 that their USB ports are upside down of what is normal we're having a very hard 00:09:01.560 --> 00:09:09.720 time getting clear text out of this projector the issue is that the native 00:09:04.680 --> 00:09:11.399 resolution is 854 by 480. wide VGA I'm 00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:15.540 imagining a d sub connector walking through the Halls just getting wider and 00:09:13.140 --> 00:09:20.459 wider uh this mouse wheel does not have a oh it does have a middle click that is 00:09:17.820 --> 00:09:24.420 the heaviest middle click it's usable that's usable I mean the enter key is 00:09:23.100 --> 00:09:27.839 not really where it's supposed to be but it's usable would I take this to a 00:09:26.100 --> 00:09:31.920 coffee shop not unless I was trying to start a conversation with all the dudes 00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:38.040 with facial hair there and the projector is way louder than the computer their 00:09:34.680 --> 00:09:41.220 Indiegogo is amazing a new era of 00:09:38.040 --> 00:09:42.779 personal computer New Era Jake why would 00:09:41.220 --> 00:09:48.060 you build a computer when you can have this perfect for work from home use 00:09:45.180 --> 00:09:53.459 their expandable storage 4K UHD video output works as a game center note they 00:09:51.180 --> 00:09:59.399 don't say gaming PC yeah I don't think we have enough CPU to even like download 00:09:55.860 --> 00:10:03.140 us oh wow okay okay we're looking at 00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:06.660 about 60 CPU usage downloading at 00:10:03.140 --> 00:10:10.740 150 megabit and more impressively our 00:10:06.660 --> 00:10:12.959 poor SSD is at 50 usage just downloading 00:10:10.740 --> 00:10:16.440 Counter-Strike to be clear if you wanted to use this as a thin client for 00:10:14.760 --> 00:10:21.060 streaming say for example with steam link I don't see any reason why that 00:10:18.899 --> 00:10:26.399 wouldn't work with reasonably current HD graphics HD graphics though it's only 00:10:23.160 --> 00:10:28.680 downloading at 10 megabytes a second 00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:33.060 look it's not about being privileged or whatever it's about the capabilities of 00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:39.899 the product it is only 10 megabytes a second not 16. when the cable is plugged 00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:42.300 into can carry 115. okay 122 then if you 00:10:39.899 --> 00:10:49.500 want to be super pedantic about it this SSD may be slower than a hard drive 00:10:46.500 --> 00:10:53.240 okay here we go CS source 00:10:49.500 --> 00:10:53.240 what kind of FPS let's go 00:10:56.940 --> 00:11:03.860 how did he know I was using this computer 00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:08.240 oh come on Hacks 00:11:03.860 --> 00:11:08.240 oh my God I just got headshots 00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:14.420 I can't even see anything 00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:19.980 and the latency is actually not bad very 00:11:17.760 --> 00:11:23.720 usable oh my God you can't be moving the display around while I'm trying to game 00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:29.820 here I could get one kill okay I'm gonna get 00:11:26.820 --> 00:11:31.980 one kill no now come on they're 00:11:29.820 --> 00:11:36.360 everywhere I can't even tell what team people are 00:11:34.079 --> 00:11:39.380 on though everything is just a moving black blob 00:11:40.079 --> 00:11:45.779 KTV like like that BBK like one plus BBK 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:49.500 this is pretty slow for a wired connection can we watch a 4K video 00:11:47.640 --> 00:11:54.000 though the answer is yes while I can't say that 00:11:52.680 --> 00:11:58.260 I would necessarily recommend the projector as anything more than a toy 00:11:56.220 --> 00:12:02.700 for the kids or I mean I guess their pitch for it is it's for in an emergency 00:12:00.779 --> 00:12:06.720 doing a presentation or something like that the computer itself actually kind 00:12:05.160 --> 00:12:10.800 of an interesting value proposition obviously it's underpowered compared to 00:12:08.820 --> 00:12:13.980 other small computers but it's also underpriced compared to other small 00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:20.160 computers there are performance deficiencies the SSD isn't great the CPU 00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:22.560 leaves a lot to be desired and frankly 00:12:20.160 --> 00:12:27.240 the fan on it isn't exactly silent but at the cost and size its competition is 00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:31.740 probably closer to an Intel compute stick than it would be to a full-size 00:12:28.920 --> 00:12:36.300 desktop PC or even a laptop and if all you're gonna do is watch YouTube videos 00:12:33.779 --> 00:12:40.620 and do basic word processing there is no reason that especially the Windows 11 00:12:37.980 --> 00:12:45.600 compatible version couldn't last you for years it's kind of compelling like this 00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:49.920 compelling message
