1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:06,960
remember when we showed off the gpd win

2
00:00:03,679 --> 00:00:08,160
a super tiny but full-fledged Windows

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:14,880
computer well guess what there's a sequel and it's in a black and

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:19,439
gold box and it comes out like this look people like unboxings right

5
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:24,240
look at this thing it's bigger faster and better in every

6
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:27,800
possible way let's check it out

7
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:45,600
all right so now that our Windows update is done let's take a closer look at this

8
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:49,520
guy we've got some kind of rubberized grips on the side here and here so that

9
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:55,600
you don't lose your grip we've got a cooling fan um got kind of a black and gray

10
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:59,760
aesthetic and then we can just i guess open it up and get started

11
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:04,720
so right out of the box like spec wise this thing is really impressive the

12
00:01:02,239 --> 00:01:11,680
display is a six inch gorilla glass topped hips 10 point multi-touch display

13
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:13,920
so it's 1280 by 720 which is not amazing

14
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:20,000
today but is good enough for a device this size

15
00:01:15,119 --> 00:01:21,680
the processor is a core m3 7y30

16
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:29,200
so what's cool about that is that that is not atom based that's a 15 watt kb

17
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:31,920
lake that runs one gigahertz base 2.6

18
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:38,000
gigahertz boost it's got two cores and it's hyper threaded it's running Intel

19
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:40,000
hd graphics 615 so not the most capable

20
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:44,640
we'll look at it a little closer later eight gigs of lpddr3 RAM it's got you

21
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:50,399
can actually see it here on the bottom support for up to a 42 millimeter m.2

22
00:01:48,079 --> 00:01:55,040
though it should be noted it runs hci not NVMe it's got dual band ac wi-fi so

23
00:01:53,520 --> 00:02:00,000
i'd like to see how it handles something like steam and home streaming and packed

24
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:05,600
into this you can see it's quite thick it's got two

25
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:09,119
4 900 milliamp hour batteries for up to

26
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:11,440
six to eight hours of battery life

27
00:02:09,119 --> 00:02:15,360
i'm really impressed with the io2 just like i was last time around so here come

28
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:21,280
come have a look at this so you've got your usb type-c that handles charging

29
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:23,440
duties and from our testing also handles

30
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:28,160
outputting to like a usbc dongle so you could adapt it to HDMI or an sd slot or

31
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:30,879
whatever else you want it's got a headphone jack

32
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:40,160
it's got a usb 3 type a port it's got a microsd slot and it's also got a micro

33
00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:44,160
HDMI output so if you wanted to hook it up to a monitor or something then you

34
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:47,519
could totally do that right now being totally honest the

35
00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:51,760
speakers aren't great but apparently this is

36
00:02:50,239 --> 00:02:57,519
mostly a driver issue that they're already aware of this is a pre-production sample and i'm more

37
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:02,959
concerned in the longer term with the inputs the keyboard

38
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:05,920
right off the bat way improved over the

39
00:03:02,959 --> 00:03:10,560
last generation it doesn't have a ton of flex to it and the tactile click of the

40
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:14,480
keys like actually feels pretty good like it's not

41
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:17,599
like i type on it all day or anything but

42
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:22,159
way better than i expected and just like last time this little switch right here

43
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:26,800
super handy so you change the joysticks from gamepad mode over to mouse mode and

44
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:31,200
all of a sudden boom there you go you're moving your mouse cursor around it's not

45
00:03:29,519 --> 00:03:35,599
you know a nipple and it's not a track pad but with a little bit of practice

46
00:03:33,599 --> 00:03:39,360
you could definitely get really good with this thing

47
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:43,760
joystick quality now that was really impressive apparently these are sourced

48
00:03:41,519 --> 00:03:49,040
from the japanese company alps which i totally believe because they

49
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:53,120
feel really good like like like almost ds grade good and as for the shoulder

50
00:03:51,519 --> 00:03:59,360
buttons hear that these are nice clicky buttons

51
00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:00,400
on our two r1 and r3 now it should be

52
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:04,720
noted that these were a little hard to distinguish

53
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:08,159
especially at first from each other while gaming but i do think it's

54
00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:13,599
something that you might get used to uh something that would take a little longer to get used to is the weight this

55
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:19,120
thing is a touch heavy it's about 460 grams and making matters worse the

56
00:04:16,799 --> 00:04:22,479
screen tilt is like just a little bit too far this way

57
00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:26,400
then all the way this way so i can't quite find myself in that perfect

58
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:31,040
comfortable in between it'll kind of snap out like that but uh

59
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:34,960
okay enough talk about hypotheticals let's uh let's fire up some games

60
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:38,800
one thing that's really nice right out of the gate on a device like

61
00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:42,240
this with steam in-home streaming is if you have to make any configuration

62
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:45,919
changes or if you run into any issues with it in general which

63
00:04:43,919 --> 00:04:50,560
let's face it they're a thing it's a lot easier to fix them and make

64
00:04:48,479 --> 00:04:53,120
any adjustments on a full-fledged computer than with

65
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:58,000
you know something like a shield portable which as you guys probably know

66
00:04:55,280 --> 00:05:03,520
i'm a big fan of this is basically what it looks like running a game elsewhere

67
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,639
on the network over wi-fi so check this

68
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:10,800
out see those tips right there controller disconnected spacebar okay

69
00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:16,000
boom we're in pc mode hold it to drain urics for health

70
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,960
switch to gamepad mode and

71
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:23,360
boom it's working again already and all the prompts will change again so that we

72
00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:27,600
won't make any mistakes in terms of our control scheme check that out b to drop

73
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:31,440
so the idea here is that over your home network using steam or even over the

74
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:35,039
internet assuming your connection is good enough using a service like parsec

75
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:38,400
if you have a powerful enough machine somewhere you can play full quality

76
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:43,360
games even though the GPU on this thing

77
00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:47,199
really is not nearly powerful enough to run games like

78
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:51,280
shadow of war so how bad you might ask running things

79
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:55,199
natively well integrated graphics are still what

80
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:59,919
they are so here i've got a steam library running

81
00:05:57,199 --> 00:06:04,000
off of this external one terabyte drive so i've got a bunch of different games

82
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:09,520
installed and you're gonna see here that even in a fairly uh indie game not super

83
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:13,840
demanding like gang beasts we're seeing occasional stutters and this is running

84
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:16,720
at 720p actually not even apparently we're

85
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:23,600
running with pillar boxes for some reason like to be clear it's not fair to expect

86
00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:28,000
deus ex mankind divided to run well uh you know even

87
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:33,120
even at 720p hold on i got this guy i got this guy uh

88
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:36,479
on all low settings but as long as you're just looking at

89
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:41,600
kind of older games and you don't expect to be getting a smooth 60 or a 120

90
00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:46,319
frames per second not that would matter it's a 60hz display

91
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:49,840
it's not the worst thing ever though i'd personally definitely prefer to stream

92
00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:53,680
off something else if i'm running something demanding

93
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:59,599
emulation on the other hand is the win 2's wheelhouse so check this out this is

94
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:05,680
star fox assault running on a gamecube emulator without any problems 60 FPS at

95
00:07:03,599 --> 00:07:12,160
the original resolution so that's at 480. less demanding titles can actually

96
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:14,240
run enhanced at gpd's native 720p

97
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:17,520
resolution and it goes pretty much without saying that it works really well

98
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:24,160
for snes n64 psx via retroarch but we were

99
00:07:21,599 --> 00:07:28,080
actually pretty surprised to see that it works reasonably well with playstation 2

100
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:32,479
games even at original resolution again though now

101
00:07:30,479 --> 00:07:37,919
we did see more than the occasional slowdown in grand theft auto for example

102
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:42,479
but again in less demanding games this shouldn't be as much of a problem and

103
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:45,039
input lag overall was basically negligible

104
00:07:43,759 --> 00:07:49,520
okay so what you're probably wondering at this point sorry can i actually take that from you enough grand theft auto at

105
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:54,479
work what you're probably wondering at this point is how much does one of these

106
00:07:51,599 --> 00:08:00,080
cost well like its predecessor the win 2 is pretty pricey so it's 600 while it's

107
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:03,440
running on its uh i don't remember which crowdfunding campaign site it is but

108
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:08,000
while it's running its crowdfunding campaign and then 700 after that

109
00:08:07,199 --> 00:08:13,440
but it's got a lot of versatility and the fact that there is a second one means

110
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:17,360
that there's clearly a market for these devices out there because the first one

111
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:21,440
wasn't exactly cheap either

112
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:26,400
speaking of things that there's definitely a market for

113
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:28,160
tunnelbear is the simple vpn for folks

114
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:32,399
