WEBVTT

00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:06.960
remember when we showed off the gpd win

00:00:03.679 --> 00:00:08.160
a super tiny but full-fledged Windows

00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:14.880
computer well guess what there's a sequel and it's in a black and

00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:19.439
gold box and it comes out like this look people like unboxings right

00:00:18.080 --> 00:00:24.240
look at this thing it's bigger faster and better in every

00:00:22.880 --> 00:00:27.800
possible way let's check it out

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

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

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

00:00:53.760 --> 00:00:59.760
aesthetic and then we can just i guess open it up and get started

00:00:57.440 --> 00:01:04.720
so right out of the box like spec wise this thing is really impressive the

00:01:02.239 --> 00:01:11.680
display is a six inch gorilla glass topped hips 10 point multi-touch display

00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:13.920
so it's 1280 by 720 which is not amazing

00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:20.000
today but is good enough for a device this size

00:01:15.119 --> 00:01:21.680
the processor is a core m3 7y30

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

00:01:26.080 --> 00:01:31.920
lake that runs one gigahertz base 2.6

00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:38.000
gigahertz boost it's got two cores and it's hyper threaded it's running Intel

00:01:34.240 --> 00:01:40.000
hd graphics 615 so not the most capable

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

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

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

00:01:53.520 --> 00:02:00.000
i'd like to see how it handles something like steam and home streaming and packed

00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:05.600
into this you can see it's quite thick it's got two

00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:09.119
4 900 milliamp hour batteries for up to

00:02:05.600 --> 00:02:11.440
six to eight hours of battery life

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

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

00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:23.440
duties and from our testing also handles

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

00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:30.879
whatever else you want it's got a headphone jack

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

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

00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:47.519
could totally do that right now being totally honest the

00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:51.760
speakers aren't great but apparently this is

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

00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:02.959
concerned in the longer term with the inputs the keyboard

00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:05.920
right off the bat way improved over the

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

00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:14.480
keys like actually feels pretty good like it's not

00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:17.599
like i type on it all day or anything but

00:03:15.440 --> 00:03:22.159
way better than i expected and just like last time this little switch right here

00:03:19.760 --> 00:03:26.800
super handy so you change the joysticks from gamepad mode over to mouse mode and

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

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

00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:39.360
you could definitely get really good with this thing

00:03:37.040 --> 00:03:43.760
joystick quality now that was really impressive apparently these are sourced

00:03:41.519 --> 00:03:49.040
from the japanese company alps which i totally believe because they

00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:53.120
feel really good like like like almost ds grade good and as for the shoulder

00:03:51.519 --> 00:03:59.360
buttons hear that these are nice clicky buttons

00:03:55.680 --> 00:04:00.400
on our two r1 and r3 now it should be

00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:04.720
noted that these were a little hard to distinguish

00:04:02.480 --> 00:04:08.159
especially at first from each other while gaming but i do think it's

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

00:04:10.720 --> 00:04:19.120
thing is a touch heavy it's about 460 grams and making matters worse the

00:04:16.799 --> 00:04:22.479
screen tilt is like just a little bit too far this way

00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:26.400
then all the way this way so i can't quite find myself in that perfect

00:04:24.320 --> 00:04:31.040
comfortable in between it'll kind of snap out like that but uh

00:04:28.880 --> 00:04:34.960
okay enough talk about hypotheticals let's uh let's fire up some games

00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:38.800
one thing that's really nice right out of the gate on a device like

00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:42.240
this with steam in-home streaming is if you have to make any configuration

00:04:40.320 --> 00:04:45.919
changes or if you run into any issues with it in general which

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

00:04:48.479 --> 00:04:53.120
any adjustments on a full-fledged computer than with

00:04:52.080 --> 00:04:58.000
you know something like a shield portable which as you guys probably know

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

00:05:00.320 --> 00:05:04.639
on the network over wi-fi so check this

00:05:03.520 --> 00:05:10.800
out see those tips right there controller disconnected spacebar okay

00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:16.000
boom we're in pc mode hold it to drain urics for health

00:05:12.960 --> 00:05:16.960
switch to gamepad mode and

00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:23.360
boom it's working again already and all the prompts will change again so that we

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

00:05:25.840 --> 00:05:31.440
so the idea here is that over your home network using steam or even over the

00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:35.039
internet assuming your connection is good enough using a service like parsec

00:05:33.520 --> 00:05:38.400
if you have a powerful enough machine somewhere you can play full quality

00:05:37.520 --> 00:05:43.360
games even though the GPU on this thing

00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:47.199
really is not nearly powerful enough to run games like

00:05:44.960 --> 00:05:51.280
shadow of war so how bad you might ask running things

00:05:49.440 --> 00:05:55.199
natively well integrated graphics are still what

00:05:53.840 --> 00:05:59.919
they are so here i've got a steam library running

00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:04.000
off of this external one terabyte drive so i've got a bunch of different games

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

00:06:07.520 --> 00:06:13.840
demanding like gang beasts we're seeing occasional stutters and this is running

00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:16.720
at 720p actually not even apparently we're

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

00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:28.000
deus ex mankind divided to run well uh you know even

00:06:25.440 --> 00:06:33.120
even at 720p hold on i got this guy i got this guy uh

00:06:30.960 --> 00:06:36.479
on all low settings but as long as you're just looking at

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

00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:46.319
frames per second not that would matter it's a 60hz display

00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:49.840
it's not the worst thing ever though i'd personally definitely prefer to stream

00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:53.680
off something else if i'm running something demanding

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

00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:05.680
star fox assault running on a gamecube emulator without any problems 60 FPS at

00:07:03.599 --> 00:07:12.160
the original resolution so that's at 480. less demanding titles can actually

00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:14.240
run enhanced at gpd's native 720p

00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:17.520
resolution and it goes pretty much without saying that it works really well

00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:24.160
for snes n64 psx via retroarch but we were

00:07:21.599 --> 00:07:28.080
actually pretty surprised to see that it works reasonably well with playstation 2

00:07:26.880 --> 00:07:32.479
games even at original resolution again though now

00:07:30.479 --> 00:07:37.919
we did see more than the occasional slowdown in grand theft auto for example

00:07:35.520 --> 00:07:42.479
but again in less demanding games this shouldn't be as much of a problem and

00:07:39.840 --> 00:07:45.039
input lag overall was basically negligible

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

00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:54.479
work what you're probably wondering at this point is how much does one of these

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

00:07:57.840 --> 00:08:03.440
running on its uh i don't remember which crowdfunding campaign site it is but

00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:08.000
while it's running its crowdfunding campaign and then 700 after that

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

00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:17.360
that there's clearly a market for these devices out there because the first one

00:08:15.440 --> 00:08:21.440
wasn't exactly cheap either

00:08:19.520 --> 00:08:26.400
speaking of things that there's definitely a market for

00:08:23.280 --> 00:08:28.160
tunnelbear is the simple vpn for folks

00:08:26.400 --> 00:08:32.399
