1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,120
for years now companies both large and small have teased the idea of a pc

2
00:00:05,279 --> 00:00:11,759
that's both small enough to be held in your hand and powerful enough to play

3
00:00:09,599 --> 00:00:14,080
triple a games and we've actually gotten close

4
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:21,359
but never this close meet

5
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:23,920
the gpd win3 it's got a core i5

6
00:00:21,359 --> 00:00:29,840
processor with xc graphics massive cooling potential console quality

7
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:33,040
buttons and joysticks and check this out

8
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:34,160
it's got a freaking slide up screen and

9
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:37,920
i'm gonna do it brought to you by glasswire glasswire is the tool that

10
00:00:36,239 --> 00:00:42,320
shows you which apps are slowing down your connection in real time it's used

11
00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:46,719
by security pros to monitor for malware block bandwidth wasters and detect

12
00:00:44,239 --> 00:00:50,640
suspicious activity get 25 off using offer code Linus at the link below

13
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:03,600
let's get this out of the way lttstore.com by the way plug in the

14
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:06,960
included brick pretty basic power brick um

15
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:10,240
type c to type c cord it's nice has type c charging and

16
00:01:08,479 --> 00:01:15,040
first impressions this thing is freaking

17
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:19,439
heavy like it's substantial it's got a magnesium alloy chassis but that still

18
00:01:17,119 --> 00:01:23,600
doesn't prevent it from being hefty in the hands so there's just

19
00:01:21,759 --> 00:01:29,520
got to be a ton of guts in there and i guess it kind of makes sense i mean this

20
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:31,680
is basically a laptop but like folded

21
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:36,400
over itself and with a really small screen as for ergonomics first

22
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,119
impressions are not great to be honest with you something that might have

23
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:42,560
helped a little bit for me would be if it was maybe angled out this way a

24
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:46,000
little bit more just because you know your arms come together to hold

25
00:01:44,079 --> 00:01:49,360
something so it's a little unnatural to have your wrists back like this if

26
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:53,920
you're into racing games the ergonomics are like basically bang on you've got

27
00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:58,000
dual joysticks and those are super easy to reach along with two shoulder buttons

28
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:03,840
and two trigger buttons but as soon as i start getting into the d-pad which is

29
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:07,680
wow that is a really nice d-pad the problem is that like holding it you end

30
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:11,360
up in kind of this weird like claw grip and reaching up to the top unless you

31
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:14,480
have larger hands might not be the most comfortable thing ever there's still a

32
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:18,319
lot of great features packed in here both of the joysticks have r3

33
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:23,760
functionality so you can click them in to press the abx y buttons feel really

34
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:28,879
good too and this is cool i remember playing final fantasy 7 as a kid on a pc

35
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:32,239
emulator and one of the problems i ran into was trying to blend in with the

36
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:36,239
soldiers as cloud you're supposed to like press buttons to like do certain

37
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:40,000
moves and i didn't have playstation symbols on my game controller but look

38
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:44,640
at that they put little playstation symbols on there maybe just small enough that sony won't

39
00:02:43,519 --> 00:02:48,959
see them also on the top we've got pc like io so

40
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:54,239
we've got a microphone headphone jack volume up volume down power button and

41
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:57,440
this is freaking amazing these triggers are apparently analog triggers so you

42
00:02:55,920 --> 00:03:02,080
can see the engine revving just a little bit or a lot i know this is an older

43
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:06,400
game but still come on

44
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:10,319
running at ultra it is a decent looking game still okay i don't know what this

45
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:13,760
behavior is did i mention it's pre-production

46
00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:18,400
alt f4 ha

47
00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:22,959
i'd like to see you do that on your ps vita and there's two buttons back here

48
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:28,239
that gpd says according to the fox they're going to provide a software tool

49
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:30,319
to remap buttons or even macros for if

50
00:03:28,239 --> 00:03:33,599
they're initial sort of software that they included on my early unit as

51
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,879
anything to go by i don't know how amazing that software will be but

52
00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:42,560
hey it'll be there like some of these things seem pretty cool just like quick

53
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:47,280
shortcuts to tools you might like like MSI afterburner we'll get that installed

54
00:03:44,239 --> 00:03:48,720
in a minute but this resolution once

55
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:52,560
kind of freaked me out earlier because i set it to 480 by 640. not realizing

56
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,760
because i was just looking at it quickly that that's a vertical resolution and

57
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,840
then it just it's like stuck here and i was like wait

58
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:03,040
what i can't i'm stuck now it's okay it's okay

59
00:04:01,519 --> 00:04:11,840
we can get out of it by pressing a and then going back to the widescreen resolution now you probably see here it

60
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:14,959
runs at 1280 by 720 so that is not a lot

61
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:17,680
of resolution but on a screen this small

62
00:04:14,959 --> 00:04:22,639
that's something like 270 pixels per inch so

63
00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:24,960
text is noticeably blurry but in games

64
00:04:22,639 --> 00:04:28,320
i'm not expecting it to be a problem the bigger issues for me are the size it's

65
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,840
five and a half inches it would have been really nice if the bezels were just

66
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:36,080
a little smaller and pixel response time so as you even

67
00:04:34,479 --> 00:04:41,680
just drag a window around on the screen you can tell that this hips display

68
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,400
while it has really vibrant colors is

69
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:47,919
not great when it comes to pixel responsiveness also it only runs at 60

70
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:51,919
hertz which isn't going to be an issue for aaa gaming but if you're running

71
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:55,919
indie or older games you could have potentially taken advantage of a higher

72
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:59,280
refresh rate display there's a couple other things i want to show you it has a

73
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:04,800
micro sd slot over here that i've got loaded up with a 512 gig card we'll see

74
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:08,479
how that works as well as gpd's typical

75
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:10,560
mouse slash game controller switch mode

76
00:05:08,479 --> 00:05:14,000
button here so what this will do it's not actually working on my early unit

77
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:18,800
here but it'll allow you to use the joysticks and shoulder buttons as your

78
00:05:16,479 --> 00:05:23,120
mouse from my previous experience with it it works really freaking well like

79
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:27,759
impressively well and you probably won't end up missing a touchpad at all uh on

80
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:32,080
the bottom oh yeah i didn't even mention this stereo speakers

81
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:35,600
Thunderbolt 4 freaking Thunderbolt

82
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:40,400
so you know we're going to be playing around with that later

83
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:44,720
of course the big thing everyone wants to know is what is this keyboard like

84
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:48,639
it's backlit you can tell it's illuminated from the top and there's

85
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:53,840
like a diffusion layer in there let's try like i don't know what do people ask

86
00:05:50,639 --> 00:05:55,680
cortana weather there's a little bit of

87
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:59,759
vibration actually but i don't know if i would quite

88
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:03,120
describe it as haptic

89
00:06:01,039 --> 00:06:08,479
oh man i mean it's haptic but it's more like the whole unit kind of vibrates

90
00:06:05,039 --> 00:06:10,000
it's not like it feels specific to the

91
00:06:08,479 --> 00:06:13,759
to the keyboard and the whole thing is feels just like a

92
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,960
piece of glass or something oh did i mention this is girl glass 5 up here

93
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:21,280
there's only a left shift so if you wanted to use punctuation for example

94
00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:25,919
you wanted you know capital q

95
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:31,440
you know quest one bright spot is the hinge mechanism considering what a small

96
00:06:28,479 --> 00:06:35,199
company gpd is this is surprisingly refined feeling like it slides up locks

97
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:38,639
in place slides down nice and smoothly locks in

98
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:44,800
place and i think i kind of have to forgive the

99
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:49,440
admittedly horribleness of this keyboard because the purpose of this device is

100
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:53,759
gaming first like if we were looking at something like their previous p2 which

101
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:58,160
was supposed to be a hyper portable laptop for like typing up your essay on

102
00:06:56,319 --> 00:07:02,000
the train as you head into school at the last minute this would have been

103
00:06:59,759 --> 00:07:05,680
unacceptable but if it's just like you know we need to save some space compared

104
00:07:03,759 --> 00:07:10,000
to a membrane keyboard but we still want the ability to quickly

105
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:13,520
alt enter if a game opens in you know windowed mode or something like that

106
00:07:12,319 --> 00:07:17,919
then it's got everything that you really need

107
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:21,280
so i'm okay with it i'd be negligent if i

108
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:24,800
didn't say how well the fingerprint scanner works the answer is really good

109
00:07:23,599 --> 00:07:29,440
so that's a really good inclusion when you consider how hard it would be to type

110
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:33,039
passwords on the included keyboard okay can't tell if

111
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,840
that's taking the screw out or just stripping it i think it was stripping it

112
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:40,960
off maybe you're right andy might have to talk about the specs without being able

113
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:46,160
to look at them no i think i got it so we've got a core i5

114
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:52,479
g7 processor so that sits right under this cooler here we've got that is

115
00:07:48,639 --> 00:07:56,080
surprising a full-sized m.2 so that's an

116
00:07:52,479 --> 00:07:58,160
80 mil m.2 with how many little tiny

117
00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:01,199
like 40 millimeter ones are out there i would have thought they would have gone

118
00:07:59,199 --> 00:08:06,560
with a with a smaller one uh Intel Wi-Fi so that's wi-fi six and

119
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:09,520
bluetooth right there with the antennas running i don't know somewhere can't

120
00:08:08,319 --> 00:08:15,520
really tell uh yeah dedicated speaker wait

121
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:20,800
whoa hold on a second is this one fake

122
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,800
oh

123
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:29,919
so far okay yes it does have stereo speakers

124
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,719
they're not amazing whichever monitor you decide to or

125
00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:35,039
functional functions

126
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:42,080
loud and functional got a vibration motor over here oh cool

127
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:47,440
okay got these little spring loaded contacts for the rear like macro buttons

128
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:52,959
here and that's a 44 watt hour battery so gpd is rating this thing for two to

129
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:57,680
three hours under heavy load anywhere from kind of six to eight under medium

130
00:08:54,800 --> 00:09:01,200
load and 14 hours under a light load sounds reasonable enough to me based on

131
00:08:59,279 --> 00:09:06,480
what i know about this hardware but it's going to depend on how you configure it

132
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:08,880
so that tiger leg CPU in there with xe

133
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:13,279
graphics can go anywhere from 18 watts all the way up to 28 watts and

134
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:20,800
that's something you can change around in the BIOS oh i didn't even mention RAM so it's got

135
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:22,720
16 gigs of lp ddr4 x 4266 memory and

136
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:27,920
that's really important because it's using onboard graphics as you guys might

137
00:09:24,959 --> 00:09:32,880
know gpus are extremely memory bandwidth hungry so the faster the system memory

138
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:37,279
the faster you can go with an integrated graphics card like the Intel xc graphics

139
00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:41,200
in here popping the cooler off means i can't do any serious thermal tests but

140
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:45,440
there's a pre-production unit anyway so we can't really do that and oh actually

141
00:09:43,279 --> 00:09:49,600
no this is just the fan itself this is not the heat sink so

142
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:56,080
what are we looking at here cooling for the vrms two heat pipes and a spreader

143
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:58,080
on Intel's tiger lake CPU GPU and the

144
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:02,080
RAM may be on the other side of the board i'm not gonna pop the whole board

145
00:09:59,839 --> 00:10:06,720
out right now some of our system memory is actually down there so that means you

146
00:10:04,959 --> 00:10:11,440
might have an issue when it comes to mounting double-sided m.2s in here

147
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:15,440
it's curious that they wouldn't have just gone with a higher profile mount

148
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:19,920
for it because it's not oh yeah no they don't have the

149
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:21,200
space yeah that's why all right oh since

150
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:27,120
we're at it this is a pretty unexceptional looking baiwin SSD but

151
00:10:24,399 --> 00:10:32,640
what's cool is that this is actually pci express gen 4 tiger lake is so if you

152
00:10:30,079 --> 00:10:35,839
wanted to you could put like a ball and gen 4m.2 in here as long as it's not

153
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:41,440
double-sided uh it's a one-terabyte drive i guess i never mentioned that before so we have

154
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:47,760
enough space for it if we have the the horsepower for it let's show you guys

155
00:10:43,279 --> 00:10:50,560
we're running at about 3.5 3.6 gigahertz

156
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:54,320
right now CPU at 100 while we download cyberpunk now watch this

157
00:10:54,399 --> 00:10:59,839
literally half the CPU frequency so you're going to see even on wi-fi my

158
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:05,440
download speed's probably going to suffer a little bit in a bit here i know this is still not gaming but it is worth

159
00:11:03,519 --> 00:11:09,120
mentioning like just navigating around on this thing this is a fast freaking

160
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:15,120
CPU like this is not some atom freaking thing like it's

161
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:18,240
responsive i figured medium details no motion blur directx 12 would be a

162
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:23,200
reasonable target for shadow of the tomb raider i think it's fair to say this

163
00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:28,000
game runs at 30 FPS medium details you know what i want to know though

164
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:31,440
okay if i happened to be next to a wall outlet well then what oh yeah i never

165
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:35,120
mentioned this button it's just got a little x on it presumably for trademark

166
00:11:33,519 --> 00:11:39,600
infringement reasons but it's an xbox button surprisingly when it comes to a

167
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:43,519
GPU load we actually don't get any additional performance for being plugged

168
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:48,399
in so that's great news for mobile gamers anyway i love these joysticks

169
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:52,720
they're really good little bit longer it'll take some getting used to but i

170
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:56,800
really like them hello dang it there's so much stuff i want to run on this like

171
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:59,279
man playing bro force on this thing by the way if you haven't played bro force

172
00:11:58,079 --> 00:12:04,560
sick game check it out bro there's definitely some driver issues do

173
00:12:02,959 --> 00:12:08,639
maternal wouldn't launch said something about known compatibility problem Intel

174
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:13,440
graphics they clearly have some work to do and

175
00:12:10,399 --> 00:12:15,680
squadrons uh wait what just happened

176
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:20,160
squadrons i don't know that the the models were flickering in the menu

177
00:12:18,079 --> 00:12:22,720
oh i'm oh i'm gonna i'm gonna fly into an asteroid well the point is the game

178
00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:28,480
runs memory card slot a is corrupt it needs to be for okay

179
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:32,320
it's not strictly speaking mario tennis but i have definitely played what is

180
00:12:30,079 --> 00:12:32,320
this

181
00:12:34,079 --> 00:12:40,880
it's running great though i'm at like nearly a locked 60 FPS i sincerely hope

182
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:44,399
that it goes without saying that this is not exactly a use case that i would

183
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:50,320
recommend i mean a 2080 ti or whatever the current

184
00:12:47,279 --> 00:12:52,720
version of this is a Gigabyte sent over

185
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:57,920
this aorus external dock quite some time ago it's like obviously overkill for

186
00:12:55,519 --> 00:13:01,760
gaming at 720p this is something that's really annoying about the 720p display

187
00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:04,959
Windows 10 is really just not designed for a display that's that low res so

188
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:08,480
when you right click on the taskbar for example you have to do this little

189
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:12,720
scroll down thing to see the task manager like there's going to be elements of

190
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:16,560
Windows that are just kind of off screen sometimes experience i'd

191
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:23,839
rather have a 1080p panel and then just run it non-native 720p in games or run

192
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:25,519
at 720p upskilled ultra high vsync off

193
00:13:23,839 --> 00:13:31,760
oh shoot frame view is not running because we're only using part of that

194
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:34,000
CPU GPU tiger lake combo here like not

195
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:39,360
even loud to be clear i am not recommending this use case but it was

196
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:44,560
important to show just to demonstrate how versatile this thing is everything

197
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:49,920
from emulating classic games to running modern games on this hardware at

198
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:54,320
playable frame rates to streaming off of a network-connected local machine or a

199
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:58,720
service like xcloud or stadia to hooking a fat GPU up to it this thing can

200
00:13:57,199 --> 00:14:03,680
literally do all of it there's definitely some deficiencies

201
00:14:02,399 --> 00:14:07,920
it's heavy i think the shape like the overall

202
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:12,240
ergonomic shape could have used a little bit more work and i expect this thing to

203
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:15,680
be well over 500 possibly even dangerously close to a

204
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:19,760
thousand but if you're the kind of user who's

205
00:14:17,839 --> 00:14:26,079
dreamed of something like this your dream has finally come true

206
00:14:23,199 --> 00:14:30,320
of course i should include some caution about kickstarters and indiegogos in

207
00:14:28,399 --> 00:14:35,760
fact we did a video recently talking about how backing crowdfunded technology

208
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:39,760
can often end up being a disaster because even if they do deliver by the

209
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:43,120
time you get it it might be obsolete and there's already something better from a

210
00:14:41,279 --> 00:14:48,880
more reputable company but on the subject of reputation gpd

211
00:14:46,639 --> 00:14:53,440
actually has a great track record at this point and it seems like they mostly

212
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:58,160
just use it as like a an interest gauging or cash flow exercise for new

213
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:01,760
products to get their runs right so with that in mind

214
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:05,120
man this thing's sweet

215
00:15:03,519 --> 00:15:08,959
that's all i have to say other than to thank our sponsor lg for sponsoring

216
00:15:07,519 --> 00:15:16,000
today's video lg has launched their virtual showroom

217
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:18,720

00:15:24,399 --> 00:15:30,720
grams all are running the latest Intel 11th gen processors with iris xc

221
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:34,240
graphics oh that worked out well so they're going to have like this same

222
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:39,360
kind of graphics grunt they're evo certified and they have a new size 16

223
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:44,240
inches that weighs just 2.98 pounds with an 80 watt hour battery fun fact the new

224
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:49,519
16 inch model has the guinness world record for being the lightest laptop of

225
00:15:46,399 --> 00:15:51,759
its size 14 and 17 inch size options are

226
00:15:49,519 --> 00:15:56,240
still available and all the displays are 16 by 10 giving you 11 percent more

227
00:15:54,880 --> 00:16:02,000
screen area they're lightweight with long lasting batteries and there's an lg gram survey

uh our previous gpd videos because that

231
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:17,279
stuff's pretty sweet too oh actually here's one more thing i didn't mention this gives you a better look at the

232
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:20,320
slide mechanism i asked our designers for something other than black or gray

233
00:16:19,519 --> 00:16:24,160
and this is what they came up with for a techlinked hoodie you'll have to let us

234
00:16:22,959 --> 00:16:26,320
know in the comments what you think of it
