WEBVTT 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:07.359 this is my gaming laptop it doesn't come with a keyboard or 00:00:04.640 --> 00:00:10.880 trackpad or even a battery i had to bring my own 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 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 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 00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:29.679 why would they change laptop desktop is desktop laptop is laptop math 00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:34.800 is math and this message is from our sponsor 00:00:32.480 --> 00:00:39.840 jackery they just announced their new solar generator 1000 pro which features 00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:43.680 two 100 watt ports for fast charging all while being two kilos lighter than the 00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:46.559 competition pre-order yours today at the link down below 00:00:53.920 --> 00:01:01.680 on the surface the new igame g1 plus from colorful is an all-in-one desktop 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 00:01:04.080 --> 00:01:11.840 12700h an rtx 3060 six gig laptop GPU 00:01:08.720 --> 00:01:13.840 and two 8 gig sodium memory modules all 00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:20.759 crammed into this stealthy stand behind the display more on that later but first 00:01:16.240 --> 00:01:20.759 i want to show you something unfortunate 00:01:30.720 --> 00:01:38.840 this is rage mode which unlocks the fans 00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:41.439 running them at their full 3700 00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:45.840 RPM uh colorful wouldn't the point of using mobile 00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:48.320 hardware to be power efficient and quiet 00:01:48.720 --> 00:01:54.479 there we go compared to the default quiet fan 00:01:53.520 --> 00:02:00.719 profile which allows the CPU to thermal throttle 00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:01.840 almost immediately rage mode yielded a 00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:08.879 whopping 35 improvement in our cinebench score 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 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 00:02:15.760 --> 00:02:23.840 to compensate rather than just letting the system overheat take that apple 00:02:21.040 --> 00:02:28.239 and besides the igame's true purpose is not to be a multi-threaded workstation 00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:32.239 powerhouse it's got gaming right in the name maybe our quiet fan profile will 00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:37.200 fare better here and it does in quiet mode not only is 00:02:35.040 --> 00:02:42.879 the machine merely silent but we see our CPU and GPU reach around 70 and 80 00:02:40.160 --> 00:02:46.560 degrees respectively after a one hour loop of f1 2021 00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:52.400 not too shabby but are we giving up any performance 00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:54.879 as it turns out the answer is no 00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:59.760 while rage mode did have a significant impact in performance when we are maxing 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 00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:10.080 temperature which did improve our FPS a little bit but the difference was so 00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:14.239 minimal that i would say it's definitely not worth making your machine sound like 00:03:11.760 --> 00:03:19.519 a jet engine speaking of FPS our hardware performs as 00:03:17.200 --> 00:03:23.840 we'd hope in our esports and mainstream gaming representatives cs go 00:03:21.920 --> 00:03:28.560 and f1 2021 but in tiny tina's wonderlands which is 00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:33.519 representing the demands of more current aaa titles we barely managed 60 FPS with 00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:39.200 our settings at high and running at our native 1440p resolution that's with or 00:03:36.959 --> 00:03:43.120 without rage mode which gives us some concerns about the 00:03:40.640 --> 00:03:45.599 longevity of a machine like this though 00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:48.400 maybe it can be upgraded 00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:53.360 while we're opening it up let's talk some other speeds and feeds 00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:54.959 the display's 1440p 165 hertz with a 00:03:53.360 --> 00:04:01.159 measured pixel response time of about five milliseconds like a laptop it's got 00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:01.159 wi-fi speakers 00:04:02.239 --> 00:04:07.200 and it's powered by a single power brick god these things just make my hands 00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:10.720 tired from having to like put so much force on 00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:14.879 them so this is exactly why 00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:17.120 i didn't want to tear this down ahead of time 00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:24.720 oh that's for the wireless charging so here's the problem there's no obvious 00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:30.240 screw holes except for the very bottom of the display once we took that off 00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:35.440 there's a cable for the charger 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 00:04:38.400 --> 00:04:45.199 you even upgrade it we had this whole spiel about like oh 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 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 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 00:04:54.080 --> 00:04:58.880 because you've got this cable attached and then you've also got the monitor to 00:04:57.919 --> 00:05:04.560 deal with anytime you want to move it so i'm going to spin it 00:05:02.479 --> 00:05:07.840 and rest it on the display and then the cable is 00:05:06.880 --> 00:05:12.080 going yep okay there you go so after that's 00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:16.400 off ah this whole thing just comes right off 00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:21.759 all right it's not terrible but also you're really 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 00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:30.560 cable off instead of breaking it there we go okay 00:05:28.880 --> 00:05:33.759 that's a lot better unlike a laptop though you can't just 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 00:05:35.520 --> 00:05:40.880 doesn't come with a keyboard and mouse raises some questions like who needs 00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:44.479 this thing and why are you still waiting to check out the stealth hoodie pro on 00:05:42.320 --> 00:05:49.759 lttstore.com considering this cable here and then how 00:05:46.400 --> 00:05:51.039 the display is kind of just out 00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:55.440 i don't really think they expect many people to actually open this thing as 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 00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:03.039 upgrade that we can maybe get bigger capacity but it's already running at the 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 00:06:06.479 --> 00:06:12.000 a full 2280 slot for another SSD if we want to put that in there 00:06:10.960 --> 00:06:17.600 but it looks like if you want to upgrade the 00:06:14.880 --> 00:06:20.560 other already installed SSD you've got to take this whole thing out 00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:24.560 so there's screws here here here here 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 00:06:27.919 --> 00:06:33.360 call that something better than the cooling stuff heat pipes yeah 00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:36.639 maybe there's thermal paste that's glued to ah 00:06:37.520 --> 00:06:43.759 you got that well because 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 00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:51.360 kind of cool all right did you get all that yeah i i 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 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 00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:04.240 have to remove uh the entire heat sink or the cooling apparatus like i was 00:07:01.599 --> 00:07:08.720 worried about um i think our motherboard is attached to something 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 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 00:07:14.400 --> 00:07:19.759 original one yeah just don't probably 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 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 00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:32.080 without any sort of major tinkering that's about it 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 00:07:34.880 --> 00:07:44.800 specced out a small form-factor pc with equivalent hardware and a better 1440p 00:07:40.960 --> 00:07:47.039 display and even with the sff tax we 00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:51.840 managed it for a few hundred dollars less not to mention that it not only 00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:56.720 matches but beats the i game in just about every performance category i mean 00:07:54.720 --> 00:08:00.639 as far as our temps go they probably would be more in line with colorful's 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 00:08:02.400 --> 00:08:09.039 bench but at least we've got something upgradable 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 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:17.280 about is your system future-proof enough 00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:20.000 the igame can barely handle 1440p in aaa 00:08:17.280 --> 00:08:23.840 games now let alone over the next few years as game developers pump out more 00:08:22.080 --> 00:08:28.160 and more demanding titles that are built for the hardware of the xbox series and 00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:32.880 ps5 era of consoles and even ignoring performance 00:08:30.960 --> 00:08:37.519 like a laptop the screen isn't detachable or usable with a separate 00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:41.599 input making the entire system essentially e-waste once it falls behind 00:08:39.599 --> 00:08:46.800 the times so who is buying these things if they're 00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:52.880 overpriced and underperforming and lack flexibility one option is cyber cafes or 00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:54.880 land centers it's a breeze to deploy has 00:08:52.880 --> 00:09:00.160 a dedicated Ethernet port and is going to be good enough for esports games like 00:08:56.880 --> 00:09:03.120 cs go or league for many years to come 00:09:00.160 --> 00:09:07.839 but a 32-inch screen is huge for a facility like that where you would 00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:10.160 normally find 24 or at most 27 inch 00:09:07.839 --> 00:09:14.240 panels so for most of the cafes that i've seen these would be reserved for 00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:19.120 premium users with the majority of their seats targeting 1080p on much smaller 00:09:16.959 --> 00:09:23.040 monitors with much more budget hardware which kind of makes it out of place in 00:09:20.640 --> 00:09:27.120 another way because at those 32-inch premium seats i'd expect to be running 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 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 00:09:32.959 --> 00:09:38.080 compromise between the imac that they think looks pretty and their kids desire 00:09:36.959 --> 00:09:42.800 to game well fair enough for that i guess it's 00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:47.360 not entirely fair of us to compare the ease of use of something like this with 00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:50.800 a diy desktop that we cobbled together on pc part picker 00:09:48.880 --> 00:09:55.760 but it raises the question if they really want something that's all in one 00:09:53.519 --> 00:10:00.160 why stop here you'd probably be better off just buying a laptop which has even 00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:05.200 more all in its one you get similar or even identical 00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:09.600 hardware more portability a much more appropriate display an attached keyboard 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 00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:18.640 this unfortunately doesn't include one either and surprisingly you can get all 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 00:10:20.880 --> 00:10:27.360 300hz full hd display for only 1500 us 00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:31.040 dollars that is a whopping 500 budget 00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:32.560 remaining for a monitor a mouse and 00:10:31.040 --> 00:10:37.440 dammit where's our desk this desk pad from lttstore.com 00:10:35.760 --> 00:10:41.120 and if you don't need the portability Intel's nooks have become more and more 00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:46.399 modular over the years featuring full fat desktop sockets and space for 00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:49.680 desktop gpus expensive yes 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 00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:58.880 with its gray blue stand off-center power button and big eye game logo on 00:10:56.560 --> 00:11:03.279 the chin there's no denying that other all-in-ones tend to look a little 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 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 00:11:13.760 --> 00:11:20.800 though probably also a laptop one 16 gigs of RAM at 4 000 mega transfer per 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 00:11:22.959 --> 00:11:29.920 memory card reader and more i o than colorful unit for just a few hundred 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 00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:40.079 the lower refresh rate is definitely an advantage for the i-game the i-game has 00:11:37.920 --> 00:11:45.680 its own problems as well running 1440p at 32 inches diagonal is 00:11:43.920 --> 00:11:51.839 really pushing the bounds of acceptable pixel density and hdr400 is just another 00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:55.680 way of saying don't bother enabling HDR you're probably better off without it 00:11:53.920 --> 00:11:58.800 and it can also be frustrating to use instead of a typical on-screen display 00:11:57.279 --> 00:12:02.480 menu for the monitor you have to use colorful's eye game center which doesn't 00:12:00.880 --> 00:12:06.399 actually give you any control over the brightness or color settings 00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:12.160 for brightness you need to use the side buttons that also act as volume control 00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:16.399 and while there are osd settings they're not so you can actually adjust the color 00:12:14.880 --> 00:12:21.839 they're just so that you can display specs on screen not alter them 00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:25.600 to be clear the app itself overall is fine and using it to change fan profiles 00:12:23.839 --> 00:12:29.440 or lighting does work but for this much money it's just 00:12:27.839 --> 00:12:33.440 missing a lot of the features found on just about any modern monitor it's kind 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 00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:43.120 simplicity and price and then they failed on both counts speaking of fails 00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:47.279 get subscribed on Floatplane for blooper reels and behind the scenes content from 00:12:44.880 --> 00:12:50.839 your friends at Linus media group it has a 15 watt wireless phone charger built 00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:54.240 into the stand though and 00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:58.399 a built-in webcam did we break the budget then snatching 00:12:56.240 --> 00:13:00.959 defeat from the jaws of victory no 00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:05.600 no we did not we're going to have all of those parts linked down below if you want to build your own machine 00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:09.200 and anyway even if we did break the budget we could afford it thanks to our 00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:14.000 sponsor freshbooks now i'm gonna go ahead and guess that you're not an accountant well 00:13:12.399 -->
