smallest foldable handheld console but I mean my wife says that my hands are perfectly normal size I mean it doesn't seem that small to me you guys oh my goodness this thing is so cute the idea here is on the surface very simple it's to have a PlayStation 1 capable emulation machine that is so small that you could conceivably carry it around on your keychain but everything about the execution is absolutely incredible this thing is fully open source everything Hardware software you can literally download design files and make your own fun KS if you really wanted to and it runs a distribution of Linux that is optimized for emulation and gaming to the point where they claim that you can freeze the state of whatever it is you're doing if you're in the middle of a game open it up and pick up exactly where you left off in about 5 seconds it's so cute I want to play games okay okay I I'll look at what's in the box first it's available in a bunch of different colors obviously we went with atomic purple because everyone knows that's the best color and included in the Box you get yeah yeah micro USB cable yeah it's USB micro instead of USBC which is a bit of a downer but I also get it they needed to make this thing as small as freaking humanly possible and you get a variety of different colors of d-pad and buttons I love it cute little user manual in the shape of the fun key it shows you how to turn it on turn it off and shows you how to use the function button so you can change the aspect ratio you can change the zoom you can adjust the volume and brightness and you can

dropping them there's a Micro SD slot inside which supports cards up to 128 gigs and it comes pre-loaded with some royaltyfree games but I mean look at this thing obviously if you were to copy paste some ROMs or isos over there it would uh it would know what to do with them speaking of copying things over we found the instructions not the most intuitive but system upgrades are also performed by dragging and dropping a file right right I won't play games yet right right we got to look at the io okay so on the back you can clearly see the 410 milliamp battery so at 3.7 volts what is that in wat hours I don't know I don't feel like doing the math the point is it's a really small battery and people are claiming anywhere from 2 to 3 hours of battery life out of this thing it can be disassembled using two Phillips head screws revealing the arm cortex A7 processor at 1.2 GHz 64 megab of ddr2 o memory and an incredible 10 mm mono speaker but don't take my word for it I will be opening it up courtesy of that's right my friends finally the LTT Precision screwdriver that's right this video is brought to you by Creator Warehouse I've got talking points and everything how professional we're launching the ultimate Precision multi-bit screwdriver it's built with an anodized aluminum handle with diamond etched nerling making it an absolute Delight to hold in the hand it's got a strong neodymium magnet at the tip that keeps your bits in place and holds on to your screws once you remove them oh yeah look at that holding my screw look at me in my bad self speaking of bits it's got internal storage for up to three bits the end cap is interchangeable that's right my friends concave flat and convex tips and embedded within the cap is a hybrid ceramic ball bearing for the
