00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.120
for years now companies both large and small have teased the idea of a pc

00:00:05.279 --> 00:00:11.759
that's both small enough to be held in your hand and powerful enough to play

00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:14.080
triple a games and we've actually gotten close

00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:21.359
but never this close meet

00:00:17.840 --> 00:00:23.920
the gpd win3 it's got a core i5

00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:29.840
processor with xc graphics massive cooling potential console quality

00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:33.040
buttons and joysticks and check this out

00:00:29.840 --> 00:00:34.160
it's got a freaking slide up screen and

00:00:33.040 --> 00:00:37.920
i'm gonna do it brought to you by glasswire glasswire is the tool that

00:00:36.239 --> 00:00:42.320
shows you which apps are slowing down your connection in real time it's used

00:00:40.160 --> 00:00:46.719
by security pros to monitor for malware block bandwidth wasters and detect

00:00:44.239 --> 00:00:50.640
suspicious activity get 25 off using offer code Linus at the link below

00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:03.600
let's get this out of the way lttstore.com by the way plug in the

00:01:01.120 --> 00:01:06.960
included brick pretty basic power brick um

00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:10.240
type c to type c cord it's nice has type c charging and

00:01:08.479 --> 00:01:15.040
first impressions this thing is freaking

00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:19.439
heavy like it's substantial it's got a magnesium alloy chassis but that still

00:01:17.119 --> 00:01:23.600
doesn't prevent it from being hefty in the hands so there's just

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

00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:31.680
is basically a laptop but like folded

00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:36.400
over itself and with a really small screen as for ergonomics first

00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:39.119
impressions are not great to be honest with you something that might have

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

00:01:40.960 --> 00:01:46.000
little bit more just because you know your arms come together to hold

00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:49.360
something so it's a little unnatural to have your wrists back like this if

00:01:47.520 --> 00:01:53.920
you're into racing games the ergonomics are like basically bang on you've got

00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:58.000
dual joysticks and those are super easy to reach along with two shoulder buttons

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

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

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

00:02:09.200 --> 00:02:14.480
have larger hands might not be the most comfortable thing ever there's still a

00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:18.319
lot of great features packed in here both of the joysticks have r3

00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:23.760
functionality so you can click them in to press the abx y buttons feel really

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

00:02:27.200 --> 00:02:32.239
emulator and one of the problems i ran into was trying to blend in with the

00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:36.239
soldiers as cloud you're supposed to like press buttons to like do certain

00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:40.000
moves and i didn't have playstation symbols on my game controller but look

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

00:02:43.519 --> 00:02:48.959
see them also on the top we've got pc like io so

00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:54.239
we've got a microphone headphone jack volume up volume down power button and

00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:57.440
this is freaking amazing these triggers are apparently analog triggers so you

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

00:03:00.160 --> 00:03:06.400
game but still come on

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

00:03:08.640 --> 00:03:13.760
behavior is did i mention it's pre-production

00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:18.400
alt f4 ha

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

00:03:20.480 --> 00:03:28.239
that gpd says according to the fox they're going to provide a software tool

00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:30.319
to remap buttons or even macros for if

00:03:28.239 --> 00:03:33.599
they're initial sort of software that they included on my early unit as

00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:36.879
anything to go by i don't know how amazing that software will be but

00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:42.560
hey it'll be there like some of these things seem pretty cool just like quick

00:03:41.040 --> 00:03:47.280
shortcuts to tools you might like like MSI afterburner we'll get that installed

00:03:44.239 --> 00:03:48.720
in a minute but this resolution once

00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:52.560
kind of freaked me out earlier because i set it to 480 by 640. not realizing

00:03:51.200 --> 00:03:55.760
because i was just looking at it quickly that that's a vertical resolution and

00:03:54.640 --> 00:03:58.840
then it just it's like stuck here and i was like wait

00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:03.040
what i can't i'm stuck now it's okay it's okay

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

00:04:07.040 --> 00:04:14.959
runs at 1280 by 720 so that is not a lot

00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:17.680
of resolution but on a screen this small

00:04:14.959 --> 00:04:22.639
that's something like 270 pixels per inch so

00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:24.960
text is noticeably blurry but in games

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

00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:31.840
five and a half inches it would have been really nice if the bezels were just

00:04:30.320 --> 00:04:36.080
a little smaller and pixel response time so as you even

00:04:34.479 --> 00:04:41.680
just drag a window around on the screen you can tell that this hips display

00:04:38.400 --> 00:04:42.400
while it has really vibrant colors is

00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:47.919
not great when it comes to pixel responsiveness also it only runs at 60

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

00:04:50.400 --> 00:04:55.919
indie or older games you could have potentially taken advantage of a higher

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

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

00:05:01.440 --> 00:05:08.479
how that works as well as gpd's typical

00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:10.560
mouse slash game controller switch mode

00:05:08.479 --> 00:05:14.000
button here so what this will do it's not actually working on my early unit

00:05:12.320 --> 00:05:18.800
here but it'll allow you to use the joysticks and shoulder buttons as your

00:05:16.479 --> 00:05:23.120
mouse from my previous experience with it it works really freaking well like

00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:27.759
impressively well and you probably won't end up missing a touchpad at all uh on

00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:32.080
the bottom oh yeah i didn't even mention this stereo speakers

00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:35.600
Thunderbolt 4 freaking Thunderbolt

00:05:34.320 --> 00:05:40.400
so you know we're going to be playing around with that later

00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:44.720
of course the big thing everyone wants to know is what is this keyboard like

00:05:43.280 --> 00:05:48.639
it's backlit you can tell it's illuminated from the top and there's

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

00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:55.680
cortana weather there's a little bit of

00:05:53.840 --> 00:05:59.759
vibration actually but i don't know if i would quite

00:05:56.960 --> 00:06:03.120
describe it as haptic

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

00:06:05.039 --> 00:06:10.000
it's not like it feels specific to the

00:06:08.479 --> 00:06:13.759
to the keyboard and the whole thing is feels just like a

00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:16.960
piece of glass or something oh did i mention this is girl glass 5 up here

00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:21.280
there's only a left shift so if you wanted to use punctuation for example

00:06:19.840 --> 00:06:25.919
you wanted you know capital q

00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:31.440
you know quest one bright spot is the hinge mechanism considering what a small

00:06:28.479 --> 00:06:35.199
company gpd is this is surprisingly refined feeling like it slides up locks

00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:38.639
in place slides down nice and smoothly locks in

00:06:37.520 --> 00:06:44.800
place and i think i kind of have to forgive the

00:06:42.080 --> 00:06:49.440
admittedly horribleness of this keyboard because the purpose of this device is

00:06:47.520 --> 00:06:53.759
gaming first like if we were looking at something like their previous p2 which

00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:58.160
was supposed to be a hyper portable laptop for like typing up your essay on

00:06:56.319 --> 00:07:02.000
the train as you head into school at the last minute this would have been

00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:05.680
unacceptable but if it's just like you know we need to save some space compared

00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:10.000
to a membrane keyboard but we still want the ability to quickly

00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:13.520
alt enter if a game opens in you know windowed mode or something like that

00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:17.919
then it's got everything that you really need

00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:21.280
so i'm okay with it i'd be negligent if i

00:07:20.080 --> 00:07:24.800
didn't say how well the fingerprint scanner works the answer is really good

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

00:07:27.840 --> 00:07:33.039
passwords on the included keyboard okay can't tell if

00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:35.840
that's taking the screw out or just stripping it i think it was stripping it

00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:40.960
off maybe you're right andy might have to talk about the specs without being able

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

00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:52.479
g7 processor so that sits right under this cooler here we've got that is

00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:56.080
surprising a full-sized m.2 so that's an

00:07:52.479 --> 00:07:58.160
80 mil m.2 with how many little tiny

00:07:56.080 --> 00:08:01.199
like 40 millimeter ones are out there i would have thought they would have gone

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

00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:09.520
bluetooth right there with the antennas running i don't know somewhere can't

00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:15.520
really tell uh yeah dedicated speaker wait

00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:20.800
whoa hold on a second is this one fake

00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:20.800
oh

00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:29.919
so far okay yes it does have stereo speakers

00:08:28.080 --> 00:08:32.719
they're not amazing whichever monitor you decide to or

00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:35.039
functional functions

00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:42.080
loud and functional got a vibration motor over here oh cool

00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:47.440
okay got these little spring loaded contacts for the rear like macro buttons

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

00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:57.680
three hours under heavy load anywhere from kind of six to eight under medium

00:08:54.800 --> 00:09:01.200
load and 14 hours under a light load sounds reasonable enough to me based on

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

00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:08.880
so that tiger leg CPU in there with xe

00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:13.279
graphics can go anywhere from 18 watts all the way up to 28 watts and

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

00:09:16.880 --> 00:09:22.720
16 gigs of lp ddr4 x 4266 memory and

00:09:20.800 --> 00:09:27.920
that's really important because it's using onboard graphics as you guys might

00:09:24.959 --> 00:09:32.880
know gpus are extremely memory bandwidth hungry so the faster the system memory

00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:37.279
the faster you can go with an integrated graphics card like the Intel xc graphics

00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:41.200
in here popping the cooler off means i can't do any serious thermal tests but

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

00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:49.600
no this is just the fan itself this is not the heat sink so

00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:56.080
what are we looking at here cooling for the vrms two heat pipes and a spreader

00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:58.080
on Intel's tiger lake CPU GPU and the

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

00:09:59.839 --> 00:10:06.720
out right now some of our system memory is actually down there so that means you

00:10:04.959 --> 00:10:11.440
might have an issue when it comes to mounting double-sided m.2s in here

00:10:09.920 --> 00:10:15.440
it's curious that they wouldn't have just gone with a higher profile mount

00:10:13.760 --> 00:10:19.920
for it because it's not oh yeah no they don't have the

00:10:16.880 --> 00:10:21.200
space yeah that's why all right oh since

00:10:19.920 --> 00:10:27.120
we're at it this is a pretty unexceptional looking baiwin SSD but

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

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

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

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

00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:50.560
we're running at about 3.5 3.6 gigahertz

00:10:47.760 --> 00:10:54.320
right now CPU at 100 while we download cyberpunk now watch this

00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:59.839
literally half the CPU frequency so you're going to see even on wi-fi my

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

00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:09.120
mentioning like just navigating around on this thing this is a fast freaking

00:11:07.040 --> 00:11:15.120
CPU like this is not some atom freaking thing like it's

00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:18.240
responsive i figured medium details no motion blur directx 12 would be a

00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:23.200
reasonable target for shadow of the tomb raider i think it's fair to say this

00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:28.000
game runs at 30 FPS medium details you know what i want to know though

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

00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:35.120
mentioned this button it's just got a little x on it presumably for trademark

00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:39.600
infringement reasons but it's an xbox button surprisingly when it comes to a

00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:43.519
GPU load we actually don't get any additional performance for being plugged

00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:48.399
in so that's great news for mobile gamers anyway i love these joysticks

00:11:46.160 --> 00:11:52.720
they're really good little bit longer it'll take some getting used to but i

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

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

00:11:58.079 --> 00:12:04.560
sick game check it out bro there's definitely some driver issues do

00:12:02.959 --> 00:12:08.639
maternal wouldn't launch said something about known compatibility problem Intel

00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:13.440
graphics they clearly have some work to do and

00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:15.680
squadrons uh wait what just happened

00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:20.160
squadrons i don't know that the the models were flickering in the menu

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

00:12:21.680 --> 00:12:28.480
runs memory card slot a is corrupt it needs to be for okay

00:12:26.160 --> 00:12:32.320
it's not strictly speaking mario tennis but i have definitely played what is

00:12:30.079 --> 00:12:32.320
this

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

00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:44.399
that it goes without saying that this is not exactly a use case that i would

00:12:42.800 --> 00:12:50.320
recommend i mean a 2080 ti or whatever the current

00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:52.720
version of this is a Gigabyte sent over

00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:57.920
this aorus external dock quite some time ago it's like obviously overkill for

00:12:55.519 --> 00:13:01.760
gaming at 720p this is something that's really annoying about the 720p display

00:12:59.680 --> 00:13:04.959
Windows 10 is really just not designed for a display that's that low res so

00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:08.480
when you right click on the taskbar for example you have to do this little

00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:12.720
scroll down thing to see the task manager like there's going to be elements of

00:13:11.040 --> 00:13:16.560
Windows that are just kind of off screen sometimes experience i'd

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

00:13:19.920 --> 00:13:25.519
at 720p upskilled ultra high vsync off

00:13:23.839 --> 00:13:31.760
oh shoot frame view is not running because we're only using part of that

00:13:28.160 --> 00:13:34.000
CPU GPU tiger lake combo here like not

00:13:31.760 --> 00:13:39.360
even loud to be clear i am not recommending this use case but it was

00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:44.560
important to show just to demonstrate how versatile this thing is everything

00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:49.920
from emulating classic games to running modern games on this hardware at

00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:54.320
playable frame rates to streaming off of a network-connected local machine or a

00:13:51.760 --> 00:13:58.720
service like xcloud or stadia to hooking a fat GPU up to it this thing can

00:13:57.199 --> 00:14:03.680
literally do all of it there's definitely some deficiencies

00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:07.920
it's heavy i think the shape like the overall

00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:12.240
ergonomic shape could have used a little bit more work and i expect this thing to

00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:15.680
be well over 500 possibly even dangerously close to a

00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:19.760
thousand but if you're the kind of user who's

00:14:17.839 --> 00:14:26.079
dreamed of something like this your dream has finally come true

00:14:23.199 --> 00:14:30.320
of course i should include some caution about kickstarters and indiegogos in

00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:35.760
fact we did a video recently talking about how backing crowdfunded technology

00:14:33.920 --> 00:14:39.760
can often end up being a disaster because even if they do deliver by the

00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:43.120
time you get it it might be obsolete and there's already something better from a

00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:48.880
more reputable company but on the subject of reputation gpd

00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:53.440
actually has a great track record at this point and it seems like they mostly

00:14:50.880 --> 00:14:58.160
just use it as like a an interest gauging or cash flow exercise for new

00:14:56.000 --> 00:15:01.760
products to get their runs right so with that in mind

00:14:59.680 --> 00:15:05.120
man this thing's sweet

00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:08.959
that's all i have to say other than to thank our sponsor lg for sponsoring

00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:16.000

00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:18.720

grams all are running the latest Intel 11th gen processors with iris xc

00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:34.240
graphics oh that worked out well so they're going to have like this same

00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:39.360
kind of graphics grunt they're evo certified and they have a new size 16

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

stuff's pretty sweet too oh actually here's one more thing i didn't mention this gives you a better look at the

00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:20.320
slide mechanism i asked our designers for something other than black or gray

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

00:16:22.959 --> 00:16:26.320
know in the comments what you think of it
