yours see you later by now basically everyone and their dog
has had to work from home at some point in the last few years but it's such a
pain you gotta find your webcam find your mic
get everything ready to go and Minnie's Forum understands this and they've
devised a solution that
I don't know if it's elegant I guess we'll see but it's a webcam inside of
the computer tower it's less flexible than a regular webcam probably but at
least you don't need one and you can't lose it that's the big thing it's
integrated let's let's check it out let's open the box
New Gen 5 Marsh series computer so on top of it having a webcam it is also a
fully functional computer wow look at that
it's kind of pretty actually it looks like you're trying to
impersonate an Apple product it doesn't quite have apple Swagger but it's got
like the same color scheme at least got an HDMI cable
and a power brick that's it let's check out the propaganda we've got camera up
here there's a microphone array behind here two speakers power button what do
we got on the bottom bottom stand wait hold on
oh
why make the webcam adjustable when you can make the whole computer adjustable
normal that
Beauty as for the rest of the outside we've got a headphone jack USB 3.2 Gen 2
Port I assume probably five gig we've got a type c Port that can do 4K 60
display It also says PD on there so I'm assuming there's some power delivery
based on this power brick which is 65
Watts it probably is not a whole lot of power delivery I don't know but maybe
we'll we'll find out later on the back power jack another USB HDMI 2.0 Port so
that's 4K 60 and gigabit Lan always nice to see there what's what's over here is
that a reset button it's got a little like Arch
you seeing that I don't know what that means it does something we'll find out
I'm sure I'll just click it while it's on what's the worst that could happen
let's do a peel here oh it's so scratched oh my God look at
the plastic it had a peel on it but it's like
covered in scratches it's like brutally scratched I will say that this is not
for sale yet so this could be a pre-production unit that could just be like a hand assembled something rather
still just kind of weird it's also plastic it's definitely
you don't usually want plastic in front of your camera not really ideal
for image quality I guess we turn it on
but not before I tell you about our sponsor secret Lab secret lab chairs are
engineered to keep you incredibly comfortable for long hours at work and
play their Titan Evo 2022 chair keeps you feeling comfortable for longer with
four-way lumbar support and Ultra comfortable line of different seat

warranty and 49 day return policy so check out secret lab chairs down at the
link in the description okay let's turn it on it's booting
that's good this is a really low resolution boot thing it's pretty quiet
so far that's good never mind it's kind of loud actually
hey we got some who installs valheim
yes Alex okay what do we got in terms of specs in
here oh it's got Wi-Fi 60 damn boy
should we try the webcam oh you know that's not the worst thing
I've ever seen it it looks a little because how do I clean it I just scratch
it some more don't you worry it's very bloomy around this light here but I
think that has to do with the the plastic in front of the camera lens like
if we're comparing to a laptop webcam this looks like pretty damn good
it's just really not not very helpful in
terms of angling like I want it to be here
not like this it's like those laptops that have the webcam at the bottom and
it's just like looking up your nose I'll bounce it I should try it without the
feed turn the field oh yes great my head is cut off
wow that's great that's much better 2.5 k at 30 Hertz
it's got a 93.8 degree wide angle display and a 10 degree tilt change
which is the thing on the bottom oh yeah we have speakers I forgot we have
speakers it really does seem like the plastic in front of the webcam is is
it's peaking
Ah that's so unfortunate because it's
not it doesn't sound bad wait microphone
Boost Plus 30 DB why is that the default
turn it up ah oh what the hell
it makes no difference the volume slider still doesn't work ah wow my name is
Jake why what that won't Peak hi my name is Jake
and this is ShortCircuit and this is a recording of This webcam that is
unfortunately kind of ruined by this plastic the microphone is probably okay
and I'm gonna try and see if I can make it Peak wow yes this is a great
microphone
definitely if you buy this thing go in and turn microphone boost down but it
seems overall like a pretty decent microphone and a pretty decent camera
just both kind of ruined a little bit by
stupidity we don't really have much information on what specs will be
available when this thing is actually for sale right now ours has an R5
5625u Vega 7 Graphics that's what what
it says half a gig of dedicated GPU memory and the rest is shared from the
system memory it's configurable with up to wait actually there were specs on the
box hold on it says 5600u but it's a
5625 what like what's the difference are those the same thing probably not this
is worse it has 0.1 gigahertz higher
turbo boost this one than the 5600. I
don't know they're very similar which is a 6 core processor 12 threads it just
says Radeon graphics not a lot of information you can configure it with as
little as eight gigs of RAM in a single stick ddr4 or up to 232 gig sticks for
64 gigs of ddr4 for ssds there's all the way from 128 to 2 terabytes NVMe gen 3.
it's got Wi-Fi 6E like we talked about before and that's that's basically the
specs
yeah I mean they sound like laptop speakers with less spatial separation
yeah there's no bass at all definitely not MacBook Pro level speakers but you
know like it's like it's like Windows laptop speakers
I think I need to put it side by side with the iPhone and see I like how all
the devices you give me I have to compare the speakers to an iPhone that's
the tier return oh my God does the iPhone is the iPhone 13 Pro Max just for
reference foreign
speakers better
all right the iPhone sounds less tingy
it's it's iPhone tier speakers I think we got steam should I play a game
literally valheim that's it actually how fast is this downloading
yeah 300 megabit wee
three ping that's good this is not crazy fast yeah there we go upload 600 Wi-Fi
60 is such a game changer oh my gosh Wi-Fi five
that's a lot slower uh you want me to do cinebench you actually want to do that
like did it just crash
it's like flickered on and off like four times that time was different
that's pretty quiet I mean it's only a 15 watt chip so it's not going to be
crazy regardless but not bad its scores about the same as a
7700k 6 200 points to be specific 7700k
is 6 300 points oh it's hot default TDP 15 watts that's
all it says it has a configurable TDP up to 25 watts I suspect that this is
configured up to 25 watts it does seem like it's hitting a temperature ceiling
of like 88 degrees and clocking down a
little bit oh I wanted to play a game right let's do that bam bam
Bam Bam I'm just gonna set everything to
crap because it's CS go people do that
anyways all right we're getting like
100 FPS on a good day
so now that we're playing not with Bots
anyways we're getting around 100 to 200 FPS depending on CS go so it goes all
over the place 1080p low settings not really that impressive it can play
Esports games there's probably screws under these feet and sure enough
they're Phillips
oh okay we got it pulled apart on the bottom here is the i o board with all of
our i o it connects with like two PCIe 8X connectors which is kind of weird I
only see one controller on the top but there are a couple on the bottom so
there's probably the Ethernet controllers on the bottom I suspect
probably a power management chip
of some sort but other than that just the i o on the inside there's the fan
we got the PCIe connectors on the bottom of this board and it feels like it
slides out but the problem is if you
look down in there you see a little blue that thermal pads for the SSD
and the SSD is hitting this plastic part where the speakers were held in place
and so it doesn't slide out this way the top comes off with the same clips that
were on the bottom they're super rigid like hard clips that seem to want
to break so I don't think taking it apart any
further is a good idea so I'm not going to so yeah the NVMe is is seemingly
upgradable but this thing is not that fun to take apart I swear it's back
together
we have a second one of these this one's broken the plastic's not all scratched
on this one under the peel but we don't have pricing so it's hard to say overall
the webcam thing kind of a gimmick
you probably just want a separate webcam it is not a bad webcam the speakers yeah
it's probably kind of expensive I don't know if you want a little computer
there's lots of little computers I don't know if you need this one with a webcam but if you bought it I don't think
that's terrible either okay or if you if you want it you know like it's clean
I could see like Riley would like this huh
maybe Riley would you like this
all right if you guys like this video maybe check out the video I just did on the M2 Mac minis those are um probably
cheaper than this and maybe you should buy that instead actually definitely
more performance but you have to have mac
bye
