1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:07,359
this is my gaming laptop it doesn't come with a keyboard or

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:10,880
trackpad or even a battery i had to bring my own

3
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:14,719
guys i'm not gonna lie i don't really get this this is how we did laptop when i was a

4
00:00:13,759 --> 00:00:19,520
kid strapping a jackery to this thing doesn't make it a laptop well that's not

5
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:24,880
the way we do it now they want us to do it this way well i don't know that way

6
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:29,679
why would they change laptop desktop is desktop laptop is laptop math

7
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:34,800
is math and this message is from our sponsor

8
00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:39,840
jackery they just announced their new solar generator 1000 pro which features

9
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:43,680
two 100 watt ports for fast charging all while being two kilos lighter than the

10
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:46,559
competition pre-order yours today at the link down below

11
00:00:53,920 --> 00:01:01,680
on the surface the new igame g1 plus from colorful is an all-in-one desktop

12
00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:08,720
but beating in its chest is the heart of a laptop it's got a mobile core i7

13
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:11,840
12700h an rtx 3060 six gig laptop GPU

14
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:13,840
and two 8 gig sodium memory modules all

15
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:20,759
crammed into this stealthy stand behind the display more on that later but first

16
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,759
i want to show you something unfortunate

17
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:38,840
this is rage mode which unlocks the fans

18
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:41,439
running them at their full 3700

19
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:45,840
RPM uh colorful wouldn't the point of using mobile

20
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:48,320
hardware to be power efficient and quiet

21
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:54,479
there we go compared to the default quiet fan

22
00:01:53,520 --> 00:02:00,719
profile which allows the CPU to thermal throttle

23
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,840
almost immediately rage mode yielded a

24
00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:08,879
whopping 35 improvement in our cinebench score

25
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:13,520
i mean i think it's pretty safe to say that most people wouldn't want to use

26
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:17,760
the machine in this state but hey at least it's an option to allow the fans

27
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:23,840
to compensate rather than just letting the system overheat take that apple

28
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:28,239
and besides the igame's true purpose is not to be a multi-threaded workstation

29
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:32,239
powerhouse it's got gaming right in the name maybe our quiet fan profile will

30
00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:37,200
fare better here and it does in quiet mode not only is

31
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:42,879
the machine merely silent but we see our CPU and GPU reach around 70 and 80

32
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:46,560
degrees respectively after a one hour loop of f1 2021

33
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:52,400
not too shabby but are we giving up any performance

34
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:54,879
as it turns out the answer is no

35
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:59,760
while rage mode did have a significant impact in performance when we are maxing

36
00:02:56,959 --> 00:03:05,200
out our 12th gen core CPU in gaming we saw just a 5 to 8 degree drop in

37
00:03:02,319 --> 00:03:10,080
temperature which did improve our FPS a little bit but the difference was so

38
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:14,239
minimal that i would say it's definitely not worth making your machine sound like

39
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:19,519
a jet engine speaking of FPS our hardware performs as

40
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:23,840
we'd hope in our esports and mainstream gaming representatives cs go

41
00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:28,560
and f1 2021 but in tiny tina's wonderlands which is

42
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:33,519
representing the demands of more current aaa titles we barely managed 60 FPS with

43
00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:39,200
our settings at high and running at our native 1440p resolution that's with or

44
00:03:36,959 --> 00:03:43,120
without rage mode which gives us some concerns about the

45
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:45,599
longevity of a machine like this though

46
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,400
maybe it can be upgraded

47
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:53,360
while we're opening it up let's talk some other speeds and feeds

48
00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:54,959
the display's 1440p 165 hertz with a

49
00:03:53,360 --> 00:04:01,159
measured pixel response time of about five milliseconds like a laptop it's got

50
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,159
wi-fi speakers

51
00:04:02,239 --> 00:04:07,200
and it's powered by a single power brick god these things just make my hands

52
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,720
tired from having to like put so much force on

53
00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:14,879
them so this is exactly why

54
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,120
i didn't want to tear this down ahead of time

55
00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:24,720
oh that's for the wireless charging so here's the problem there's no obvious

56
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:30,240
screw holes except for the very bottom of the display once we took that off

57
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:35,440
there's a cable for the charger

58
00:04:32,479 --> 00:04:40,320
and i can't there's like no other screws can i try using a hammer oh god so can

59
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:45,199
you even upgrade it we had this whole spiel about like oh

60
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:47,919
yeah you can it's got two m.2 slots and all this other stuff but i don't even

61
00:04:46,479 --> 00:04:51,600
know how you get it out i don't know if we'll end up using that so i think that

62
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:56,479
you got to flex out the bottom and then it clips along the side but it's a pain

63
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,880
because you've got this cable attached and then you've also got the monitor to

64
00:04:57,919 --> 00:05:04,560
deal with anytime you want to move it so i'm going to spin it

65
00:05:02,479 --> 00:05:07,840
and rest it on the display and then the cable is

66
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:12,080
going yep okay there you go so after that's

67
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:16,400
off ah this whole thing just comes right off

68
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:21,759
all right it's not terrible but also you're really

69
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:26,320
okay and that's just on a ribbon cable let's take this off i'd rather take the

70
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:30,560
cable off instead of breaking it there we go okay

71
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:33,759
that's a lot better unlike a laptop though you can't just

72
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:37,120
tuck it under your ARM and take it on the road there's no battery and it

73
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:40,880
doesn't come with a keyboard and mouse raises some questions like who needs

74
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:44,479
this thing and why are you still waiting to check out the stealth hoodie pro on

75
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:49,759
lttstore.com considering this cable here and then how

76
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:51,039
the display is kind of just out

77
00:05:49,759 --> 00:05:55,440
i don't really think they expect many people to actually open this thing as

78
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:59,039
you can see we've got two sodium slots for our memory no not force we can't

79
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:03,039
upgrade that we can maybe get bigger capacity but it's already running at the

80
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:09,280
max rated speed of 3200 megahertz and then we have an extra m.2 at least it's

81
00:06:06,479 --> 00:06:12,000
a full 2280 slot for another SSD if we want to put that in there

82
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:17,600
but it looks like if you want to upgrade the

83
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:20,560
other already installed SSD you've got to take this whole thing out

84
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:24,560
so there's screws here here here here

85
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:28,960
another minor issue if you want to take the board out you got to take the cooling stuff off too i should probably

86
00:06:27,919 --> 00:06:33,360
call that something better than the cooling stuff heat pipes yeah

87
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:36,639
maybe there's thermal paste that's glued to ah

88
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:43,759
you got that well because

89
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:46,560
it's a laptop it's a laptop CPU um this is actually neat though this is

90
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:51,360
kind of cool all right did you get all that yeah i i

91
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:55,440
gotta say as much as i hate taking this thing apart this is neat i like that

92
00:06:53,919 --> 00:07:00,319
this just kind of like levers up and out of the way so you actually don't

93
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:04,240
have to remove uh the entire heat sink or the cooling apparatus like i was

94
00:07:01,599 --> 00:07:08,720
worried about um i think our motherboard is attached to something

95
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:12,240
i'm not sure if i just missed a screw or if it's just oh there's one screw here

96
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:16,479
yeah and here's our SSD it's all the way on the back so if you want to change the

97
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:19,759
original one yeah just don't probably

98
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:23,840
yeah so just to recap if if we want to change our SSD we've got to get all the

99
00:07:21,199 --> 00:07:28,880
way to the back we can add a new one and we can change the memory modules but

100
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:32,080
without any sort of major tinkering that's about it

101
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:37,360
none of which would be a deal breaker of a problem if it weren't for the price we

102
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:44,800
specced out a small form-factor pc with equivalent hardware and a better 1440p

103
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:47,039
display and even with the sff tax we

104
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:51,840
managed it for a few hundred dollars less not to mention that it not only

105
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:56,720
matches but beats the i game in just about every performance category i mean

106
00:07:54,720 --> 00:08:00,639
as far as our temps go they probably would be more in line with colorful's

107
00:07:58,479 --> 00:08:03,280
aio if we packed all the hardware into a case rather than testing it on an open

108
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:09,039
bench but at least we've got something upgradable

109
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:14,160
which is a major problem for the igame and it's not some kind of fear-mongering

110
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:17,280
about is your system future-proof enough

111
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:20,000
the igame can barely handle 1440p in aaa

112
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:23,840
games now let alone over the next few years as game developers pump out more

113
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:28,160
and more demanding titles that are built for the hardware of the xbox series and

114
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:32,880
ps5 era of consoles and even ignoring performance

115
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:37,519
like a laptop the screen isn't detachable or usable with a separate

116
00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:41,599
input making the entire system essentially e-waste once it falls behind

117
00:08:39,599 --> 00:08:46,800
the times so who is buying these things if they're

118
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:52,880
overpriced and underperforming and lack flexibility one option is cyber cafes or

119
00:08:49,519 --> 00:08:54,880
land centers it's a breeze to deploy has

120
00:08:52,880 --> 00:09:00,160
a dedicated Ethernet port and is going to be good enough for esports games like

121
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:03,120
cs go or league for many years to come

122
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:07,839
but a 32-inch screen is huge for a facility like that where you would

123
00:09:04,399 --> 00:09:10,160
normally find 24 or at most 27 inch

124
00:09:07,839 --> 00:09:14,240
panels so for most of the cafes that i've seen these would be reserved for

125
00:09:12,399 --> 00:09:19,120
premium users with the majority of their seats targeting 1080p on much smaller

126
00:09:16,959 --> 00:09:23,040
monitors with much more budget hardware which kind of makes it out of place in

127
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:27,120
another way because at those 32-inch premium seats i'd expect to be running

128
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:31,519
an rtx 3080. another market i can really see this in is the non-tech savvy mom

129
00:09:29,519 --> 00:09:34,800
and dad you know they're out there at the best buy they want to find a

130
00:09:32,959 --> 00:09:38,080
compromise between the imac that they think looks pretty and their kids desire

131
00:09:36,959 --> 00:09:42,800
to game well fair enough for that i guess it's

132
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:47,360
not entirely fair of us to compare the ease of use of something like this with

133
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:50,800
a diy desktop that we cobbled together on pc part picker

134
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:55,760
but it raises the question if they really want something that's all in one

135
00:09:53,519 --> 00:10:00,160
why stop here you'd probably be better off just buying a laptop which has even

136
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:05,200
more all in its one you get similar or even identical

137
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:09,600
hardware more portability a much more appropriate display an attached keyboard

138
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:13,040
and trackpad well you'll want to buy a mouse as soon as possible in either case

139
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:18,640
this unfortunately doesn't include one either and surprisingly you can get all

140
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:24,240
of that for the same price or even much cheaper like this ASUS tuff unit with a

141
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:27,360
300hz full hd display for only 1500 us

142
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:31,040
dollars that is a whopping 500 budget

143
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:32,560
remaining for a monitor a mouse and

144
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:37,440
dammit where's our desk this desk pad from lttstore.com

145
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:41,120
and if you don't need the portability Intel's nooks have become more and more

146
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:46,399
modular over the years featuring full fat desktop sockets and space for

147
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:49,680
desktop gpus expensive yes

148
00:10:47,279 --> 00:10:54,320
but so is this and at least it's more versatile even if you like how it looks

149
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:58,880
with its gray blue stand off-center power button and big eye game logo on

150
00:10:56,560 --> 00:11:03,279
the chin there's no denying that other all-in-ones tend to look a little

151
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:08,720
sleeker than this one from colorful take the hp envy all-in-one 34c 1070 xt not

152
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:16,720
only does it look nicer but it's got an i7 12700 desktop CPU an rtx 3060 GPU

153
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:20,800
though probably also a laptop one 16 gigs of RAM at 4 000 mega transfer per

154
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:25,279
second with two more sodium slots if you want to upgrade wi-fi six a three in one

155
00:11:22,959 --> 00:11:29,920
memory card reader and more i o than colorful unit for just a few hundred

156
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:34,959
dollars more it's 34-inch display only runs at 60 hertz but it's 5k so while

157
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:40,079
the lower refresh rate is definitely an advantage for the i-game the i-game has

158
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:45,680
its own problems as well running 1440p at 32 inches diagonal is

159
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:51,839
really pushing the bounds of acceptable pixel density and hdr400 is just another

160
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:55,680
way of saying don't bother enabling HDR you're probably better off without it

161
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:58,800
and it can also be frustrating to use instead of a typical on-screen display

162
00:11:57,279 --> 00:12:02,480
menu for the monitor you have to use colorful's eye game center which doesn't

163
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:06,399
actually give you any control over the brightness or color settings

164
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:12,160
for brightness you need to use the side buttons that also act as volume control

165
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:16,399
and while there are osd settings they're not so you can actually adjust the color

166
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:21,839
they're just so that you can display specs on screen not alter them

167
00:12:19,519 --> 00:12:25,600
to be clear the app itself overall is fine and using it to change fan profiles

168
00:12:23,839 --> 00:12:29,440
or lighting does work but for this much money it's just

169
00:12:27,839 --> 00:12:33,440
missing a lot of the features found on just about any modern monitor it's kind

170
00:12:31,680 --> 00:12:38,160
of like what colorful set out to do was compete with apple's imac in terms of

171
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:43,120
simplicity and price and then they failed on both counts speaking of fails
