1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,120 it's not very often I feel personally attacked by a product and it's 2 00:00:04,259 --> 00:00:12,480 especially not often that I really really like it in front of me I have the 3 00:00:08,820 --> 00:00:15,719 eye neo2 in its retro power colorway and 4 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:19,320 perhaps more interestingly the Aya Neo 5 00:00:15,719 --> 00:00:22,920 geek a slightly downgraded 6 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:25,019 cost optimized version that has pretty 7 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:29,880 much the same performance just at a lower price and without some of the 8 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:36,660 bells and whistles both of these have the new ryzen 6800u CPU from AMD meaning 9 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:42,559 that they are Zen 3 with our DNA graphics and both of them have hall 10 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:48,120 effect joysticks and triggers meaning excellent precision and theoretically 11 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,120 longevity 12 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:56,579 we start with the tour do we start with the geek help me out two two I'm gonna 13 00:00:54,660 --> 00:00:59,520 do the other one oh that's what you get Bella Lance those of you who are 14 00:00:58,079 --> 00:01:03,719 familiar with this channel will probably be familiar with these handheld gaming 15 00:01:01,500 --> 00:01:08,939 consoles but for the uninitiated the idea is simple it's a whole PC but the 16 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:12,360 size of a game console the steam deck is probably the most famous in this 17 00:01:10,260 --> 00:01:17,640 category thanks to no small part to its aggressive pricing but it is far from 18 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:20,040 the First with companies like GPD and I 19 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:25,200 and Neo having hit the market first let's take a look at what we've got in 20 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:32,040 terms of accessory package this appears to be a cable 21 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:34,200 yes oh wow quite compact power brick 65 22 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:38,640 Watts not bad the devil is this after you replace the 23 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:42,600 SSD by yourself or disassemble the handheld the patch that comes with the 24 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:47,159 handheld will be damaged you can use this new one oh that's super cool one of 25 00:01:45,780 --> 00:01:52,979 the things I noticed on their talking points for the eye neo2 is that it has a 26 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:56,340 no screws visible design and I was 27 00:01:52,979 --> 00:01:58,920 thinking to myself gee that's cool but 28 00:01:56,340 --> 00:02:02,159 also kind of sucks from a repairability standpoint 29 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:06,360 but they apparently include a little patch so you can seal this bad boy back 30 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:13,620 up if you want to replace the SSD that's awesome speaking of ssds they're both 31 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:17,160 available with the 6800u 16 to 32 gigs 32 00:02:13,620 --> 00:02:19,440 of RAM and anywhere from 512 gigs to 2 33 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:24,840 terabytes of solid-state storage oh that's great look at that they include 34 00:02:22,020 --> 00:02:29,940 four of them where they go I don't know but they go somewhere presumably on the 35 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:33,980 hand oh on the sides cool so they include enough for you to take it apart 36 00:02:31,379 --> 00:02:38,940 and put it back together twice I am liking this black colorway a lot more 37 00:02:36,900 --> 00:02:41,940 than I thought I would I figured it would be boring but it's instead it's 38 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:51,120 just kind of stealthy it's clean oh no way 39 00:02:46,500 --> 00:02:53,160 no way RGB lit joysticks this is the 40 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:57,840 geek and it's still got the RGB joysticks love it I've talked a fair bit 41 00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:03,120 about the similarities between these devices but I haven't yet talked about 42 00:02:59,940 --> 00:03:05,340 the differences and the screen is a big 43 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:09,420 one first of all its fingerprint sensor is a little bit more advanced in that 44 00:03:07,260 --> 00:03:13,500 you can just press it once it'll cast your fingerprint and use it for Windows 45 00:03:11,159 --> 00:03:17,280 hello login not the case on the ionio geek the Ionia 2 will also store 46 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:22,260 multiple fingerprints so you can use it for multi-user Authentication 47 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:27,000 the other big one is the screen while both of them have a peak brightness of 48 00:03:23,940 --> 00:03:31,140 400 nits the ineo 2 runs at a resolution 49 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:34,560 of 1920x1200 while the ioneo geek runs 50 00:03:31,140 --> 00:03:35,900 at a mirror I believe it's 1280x800 let 51 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:42,480 me just double uh okay I'm confused now there's two 52 00:03:39,780 --> 00:03:48,659 versions of the geek okay well we evidently got the 1920x1200 version 53 00:03:45,659 --> 00:03:50,640 this is also definitely not as bright 54 00:03:48,659 --> 00:03:57,180 because it says on the spec sheet that they are definitely as bright 55 00:03:52,860 --> 00:03:59,099 it doesn't look that far off oh 56 00:03:57,180 --> 00:04:03,120 I was off axis yeah that's probably about the same I 57 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:07,500 will say that white point is quite different between them you can even tell 58 00:04:04,620 --> 00:04:11,040 on camera this one's quite a bit warmer and this is quite a bit cooler that 59 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:16,560 could just be a setting though let me see they both use ion EOS is space 60 00:04:14,340 --> 00:04:21,780 utility so you can use this to configure the TDP of your processor as well as 61 00:04:19,260 --> 00:04:28,259 calibrate your joysticks monitor CPU and GPU usage you can even use it as a game 62 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:30,720 library because you don't have Steam 63 00:04:28,259 --> 00:04:35,040 regardless of the screen resolution the size is different between the two the 64 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:41,820 eye and neo2 has what they call a bezel-less display and it's got this 65 00:04:38,759 --> 00:04:45,120 single surface sheet of glass across the 66 00:04:41,820 --> 00:04:48,780 entire front with no seam at all 67 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:51,960 oh that actually looks really good 68 00:04:48,780 --> 00:04:56,220 the geek has a more conventional bezeled 69 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:58,800 and and ridged top surface oh 70 00:04:56,220 --> 00:05:04,620 okay that's kind of attractive no the screen size is the same it's just 71 00:05:01,860 --> 00:05:08,400 the bezel-less look man that looks incredible doesn't it no real 72 00:05:06,660 --> 00:05:13,500 differences in the back of the body but the weight is slightly different the 73 00:05:09,900 --> 00:05:16,500 ineo 2 is about 20 grams heavier and the 74 00:05:13,500 --> 00:05:18,960 ino2 contains two gyroscopes one in the 75 00:05:16,500 --> 00:05:24,180 body one in the handle while the regular geek only has a gyroscope in the body so 76 00:05:21,660 --> 00:05:27,300 if you like to fine tune your aim with the gyroscope so you do your course 77 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:31,259 adjustments with the joystick and then fine-tuning with the gyroscope you might 78 00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:35,580 find that the Inu 2 will be slightly more accurate the other thing is the 79 00:05:32,940 --> 00:05:41,460 vibration motor apparently the ineo 2 uses the same linear vibration motor as 80 00:05:37,979 --> 00:05:44,220 the Nintendo switch I am surprised they 81 00:05:41,460 --> 00:05:49,979 were able to actually Market it this way I'm sure Nintendo don't take kindly to 82 00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:55,259 that especially given how many people have taken to pirating Nintendo switch 83 00:05:52,440 --> 00:06:00,180 games on these handheld consoles but what are they gonna do about it I 84 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:03,900 guess oh now seems like a good time to take a bit of a tour of the outside 85 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:09,600 we've got our volume control here which is too loud right now dual USB type C's 86 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:13,740 at the top and another at the bottom I love this one of the top ones and the 87 00:06:11,639 --> 00:06:19,440 bottom one those are both full-fledged USB 4 with apparently support for egpu 88 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:23,039 in spite of the fact that AMD I don't think has sought or at least not 89 00:06:21,539 --> 00:06:30,180 achieved any sort of Thunderbolt certification so your mileage may vary on that one and 90 00:06:27,539 --> 00:06:33,060 then the third one is data only you've also got your standard left and right 91 00:06:31,860 --> 00:06:39,300 triggers they're quite deep those should give you a great degree of control shoulder 92 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:44,160 buttons and this is interesting a total of three programmable buttons that can 93 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:50,639 be configured with a total of five functions so you've got your LC and your 94 00:06:47,100 --> 00:06:52,020 RC nothing on the back no paddles or 95 00:06:50,639 --> 00:06:57,060 anything like that like we've seen with the Xbox Elite controller scuff 96 00:06:54,180 --> 00:07:02,100 controllers and the like but there is a third configurable controller uh yes 97 00:06:58,860 --> 00:07:03,660 there it is right here next to the Aya 98 00:07:02,100 --> 00:07:12,840 button we've also got your start and select or whatever those are called on an Xbox controller oh 99 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:14,580 MicroSD slot love to see it that's a 100 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:19,259 great way to add another terabyte of storage dual microphones on both stereo 101 00:07:17,699 --> 00:07:22,880 speakers on both I want to feel these sticks 102 00:07:24,419 --> 00:07:30,919 what it's not weird overall quality we're going medium 103 00:07:32,039 --> 00:07:37,440 definitely some audible fan noise though 104 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:41,940 that's to be expected running the CPU at 22 Watts oh now seems like as good a 105 00:07:40,259 --> 00:07:47,160 time as I need to say these things have 50 watt hour batteries in them both of 106 00:07:44,639 --> 00:07:51,840 them they don't specify any kind of expected battery life but I would expect 107 00:07:49,020 --> 00:07:56,039 them to be pretty close to the GPD Win 4 which has a 46 watt hour battery if I 108 00:07:53,940 --> 00:07:59,759 recall correctly so that's about two hours I've had to use three to six hours 109 00:07:57,599 --> 00:08:05,039 of moderate use and up to 10 hours of light use see no reason why they'd be 110 00:08:02,220 --> 00:08:12,300 too dissimilar to that those are nice vibration Motors not bad 111 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:14,699 go away go away monster 112 00:08:12,300 --> 00:08:21,720 I would configure them smaller personally but I believe that is 113 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:23,220 something that I can do let's check that 114 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:28,259 uh uh Master controller what does that mean 115 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:34,260 oh here we go joystick Zone 116 00:08:31,139 --> 00:08:36,000 what does on and off mean I'm not sure 117 00:08:34,260 --> 00:08:41,940 quite how it happened but I swear to you I and Neo's English 118 00:08:38,700 --> 00:08:46,580 translations have gotten worse over time 119 00:08:41,940 --> 00:08:46,580 what is even happening right now 120 00:08:46,980 --> 00:08:54,420 hello okay yeah Master Control 121 00:08:52,680 --> 00:08:58,920 oh my God okay I'm opening it on this one 122 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:04,140 oh my God oh that's cool you can switch to like a 123 00:09:01,560 --> 00:09:07,620 PlayStation slash um Nintendo style 124 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:13,080 sorry I just have no idea what's going on right now I just want to reconfigure 125 00:09:10,740 --> 00:09:19,019 my dead zones is that this we'll just reset what just happened game running 126 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:21,720 enjoy your get whoa okay I am finding 127 00:09:19,019 --> 00:09:26,640 these a little bit sensitive right now man until you've used a hall effect 128 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:31,620 joystick you have no idea what you're missing with the crap tier non-hall 129 00:09:29,459 --> 00:09:35,880 effects joysticks I am finding these a touch sensitive though 130 00:09:33,660 --> 00:09:39,440 okay I'm setting joystick Zone to off and I'm gonna see if that helps 131 00:09:40,019 --> 00:09:45,959 um I don't know what that did 132 00:09:43,380 --> 00:09:49,019 I seem to be happier can we take a moment to talk about the fact that this 133 00:09:47,220 --> 00:09:55,820 is do maternal running at greater than 1080p resolution solid 60fps medium 134 00:09:53,519 --> 00:09:55,820 settings 135 00:09:56,820 --> 00:10:05,580 like AMD could you be slightly less cool 136 00:10:01,820 --> 00:10:07,560 6800u is an absolutely incredible SOC 137 00:10:05,580 --> 00:10:12,899 yeah it's a lot more expensive than a steam deck this thing but it also 138 00:10:09,779 --> 00:10:14,640 outperforms it wait joystick zone is on 139 00:10:12,899 --> 00:10:18,420 again there's no granularity 140 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:21,440 it's a hundred percent or 50 percent 141 00:10:23,100 --> 00:10:31,440 I'm walking but barely 142 00:10:27,420 --> 00:10:33,660 50 joystick not so good can you even 143 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:39,899 tell I'm moving fine I'm turning the Zone off oh 144 00:10:36,839 --> 00:10:42,779 oh I think the dead zones are gone 145 00:10:39,899 --> 00:10:49,640 I think that was dead zone settings audio is not bad eh 146 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:49,640 it's not the steam deck but it's not bad 147 00:10:49,980 --> 00:10:58,800 multiple Chargers okay our geek apparently geeked out 148 00:10:55,620 --> 00:11:02,339 and is not working right now 149 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:03,600 again reminder these are pre-production 150 00:11:02,339 --> 00:11:08,940 it happens all right our sponsor dbrand 151 00:11:06,839 --> 00:11:13,440 it looks like my car is back from The Wrap Shop but unfortunately it's not a 152 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:17,820 typical Wrap Shop does anyone want to see what dbrand did 153 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:23,940 to my car oh yeah I saw it already you saw it already that's not a good sign 154 00:11:21,300 --> 00:11:29,000 never mind I'm just gonna oh my God 155 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,000 have you seen it yet no 156 00:11:32,100 --> 00:11:38,880 oh my God that's so sick 157 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:43,260 I thought it was going to be a lot darker I haven't actually 158 00:11:43,260 --> 00:11:48,740 oh they did a pretty good job 159 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:58,620 oh so you're just reviewing the wrap job right now I'm still just 160 00:11:54,300 --> 00:12:00,300 I would have liked to see that I mean 161 00:11:58,620 --> 00:12:03,779 I actually really liked the factory color on this 162 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:07,860 oh no this is why hold on are you taking the piss 163 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:11,579 no this looks sick look at this it's all rainbowy there this will be so easy to 164 00:12:10,140 --> 00:12:14,160 find in a parking lot you don't have to look for some stupid bike car like 165 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:20,150 everything Alex oh my God have you seen it from this 166 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:29,339 side oh it's so shiny this is gonna be a 167 00:12:25,380 --> 00:12:33,480 distraction I'm gonna get no leeway from 168 00:12:29,339 --> 00:12:36,779 the cops whatsoever gee dbrand 169 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:39,480 thanks in small doses to be clear 170 00:12:36,779 --> 00:12:43,980 war zone kind of cool this is a lot of War zones I mean I'm 171 00:12:42,060 --> 00:12:47,000 happy to have my car backed let's see if I can still lock it 172 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,079 that's a problem 173 00:12:51,540 --> 00:12:57,139 nope oh man I don't have the purple yeah 174 00:12:55,380 --> 00:13:01,519 but I think it's kind of badass yeah 175 00:13:02,399 --> 00:13:08,820 all right I guess we're focused on the ineo 2 Forza Horizon 5. let's go let's 176 00:13:07,019 --> 00:13:14,040 ooh how fast the Wi-Fi oh it's Wi-Fi six hey I can mention some other stuff right 177 00:13:11,700 --> 00:13:21,060 now there's a headphone jack yeah we didn't mention that cool the ineo 2 178 00:13:17,639 --> 00:13:23,820 comes with sound tap Magic which uses 179 00:13:21,060 --> 00:13:27,180 speaker output to translate to vibration output and games that don't support 180 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:32,160 vibration I can't say I would ever use that but hey there you go apparently 181 00:13:29,820 --> 00:13:37,980 also includes AI subtitle translation if you watch a lot of anime on your on your 182 00:13:34,980 --> 00:13:41,040 handheld small strategy window and FPS 183 00:13:37,980 --> 00:13:44,519 Thunder are also included it includes 184 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:46,560 the type C to USB a adapter though 185 00:13:44,519 --> 00:13:50,040 that's useful you know what I'm sure the audience in China is going to be like 186 00:13:47,940 --> 00:13:54,180 whoa that's like great software I use all the time or something it's it's all 187 00:13:51,899 --> 00:13:59,040 stuff I've never even heard of though we definitely need to talk about the design 188 00:13:55,980 --> 00:14:02,339 though okay the ergonomics were inspired 189 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:05,220 by the baby sleeping position so it's a 190 00:14:02,339 --> 00:14:09,060 baby sleeping position grip design like we would call that fetal position you 191 00:14:07,500 --> 00:14:13,380 know where you kind of you're kind of spooning around it the state of the baby 192 00:14:11,579 --> 00:14:16,920 in the mother's body is natural and comfortable says ieneo they draw 193 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:19,980 original and pure inspiration from it you know what 194 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,920 forts is ready why don't we just play video games to stop talking about all 195 00:14:21,779 --> 00:14:29,760 this OS here says Windows 11 or ieneo Os are 196 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:34,380 they working on a Linux something something a la Steam OS I find it hard 197 00:14:32,940 --> 00:14:37,920 to believe that if they're having this much trouble with configuring the 198 00:14:36,660 --> 00:14:41,300 joysticks that they're going to be building a whole OS but 199 00:14:42,839 --> 00:14:50,160 okay apparently they have a Linux OS coming 22 Watts 200 00:14:47,639 --> 00:14:56,160 it's a lot of airflow you know like she really pushes it's a little bit warm in 201 00:14:53,880 --> 00:15:02,360 the very sort of recessed part of the baby sleeping position here 202 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,360 overall not bad though 203 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:09,060 the warmest part is like right along the back right here where you wouldn't 204 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:12,560 really need to be touching also right at the exhaust oh probably shouldn't do 205 00:15:10,380 --> 00:15:12,560 that 206 00:15:19,860 --> 00:15:27,660 those are loudspeakers actually pretty impressed 207 00:15:25,199 --> 00:15:33,540 now as someone who only really uses my triggers in racing games to uh push down 208 00:15:30,660 --> 00:15:37,860 all the way I can't say I'd be the best judge of the fine control that a hall 209 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:46,260 effect sensor trigger is going to give you but it definitely feels 210 00:15:42,959 --> 00:15:48,839 really good actually 211 00:15:46,260 --> 00:15:54,779 the steering too now that I've got those dead zones turned off I think 212 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:56,339 that is extremely fine 213 00:15:54,779 --> 00:16:01,980 okay I am liking this 214 00:15:59,339 --> 00:16:07,860 can we just take a minute again to appreciate that this thing is running 215 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:10,680 Forza Horizon 5 okay 1920 by 1200 216 00:16:07,860 --> 00:16:15,060 targeting 60 FPS okay it's that load man this is a good 217 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:20,779 looking game even a low good gravy I mean on a screen this size though you 218 00:16:16,620 --> 00:16:20,779 don't need to crank the details like it 219 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:29,880 not quiet though can you see it blowing on my hair this fan freaking moves 220 00:16:27,540 --> 00:16:33,180 I'd recommend low definitely seeing a little bit of 221 00:16:31,380 --> 00:16:36,360 stuttering there by the way the vibration is configurable you can 222 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:40,860 probably hear the vibration 223 00:16:40,860 --> 00:16:46,139 it's on medium right now you can turn it up to higher you can turn it down to low 224 00:16:44,100 --> 00:16:50,660 depending on what your preference is again it's worth noting that the geek 225 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:55,259 assuming yours works will also perform identically to the two it's just those 226 00:16:53,100 --> 00:16:59,959 bells and whistles and some of the included software that's different 227 00:16:57,180 --> 00:17:06,000 the included joystick to Mouse controls uh work this is a problem I've had a lot 228 00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:10,799 when you're interacting with certain elements in Windows it has partial 229 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:14,220 controller support so you would click the Windows menu and you'd go up here 230 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:18,839 and then it would start using the joystick to move between these icons 231 00:17:16,199 --> 00:17:25,740 while also moving the cursor around it looks like they've solved that 232 00:17:22,140 --> 00:17:29,040 that is very good to see love to see 233 00:17:25,740 --> 00:17:30,960 that then we jump in game oh oh okay oh 234 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:37,100 there's a oh oh cool there's a shortcut to the proper on-screen keyboard now too 235 00:17:33,780 --> 00:17:37,100 really nice to see 236 00:17:37,919 --> 00:17:45,059 wow that was that was some loud vibration there 237 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:49,820 I think I would turn the vibration down a little you know 238 00:17:47,100 --> 00:17:55,799 yeah it's that's very obnoxious actually pricing wise for the 150 difference 239 00:17:52,700 --> 00:17:57,900 given the same performance it's tough to 240 00:17:55,799 --> 00:18:01,500 say that the two is worth it over the geek but then again by the time you're 241 00:17:59,940 --> 00:18:08,340 spending almost a thousand dollars on a handheld if you go for the one with the 242 00:18:04,500 --> 00:18:12,360 bezel-less screen and the overall nicer 243 00:18:08,340 --> 00:18:13,559 package oh that's tough geek 1200p would 244 00:18:12,360 --> 00:18:16,919 probably be the way that I would go whatever TowerFall is a good game check 245 00:18:15,419 --> 00:18:21,120 it out if you haven't played it and this is a good Channel check it out and 246 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:23,780
