1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,320
This is the OneXPlayer OneXFly Apex, the

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:09,960
fastest [snorts] gaming handheld in the world. But, we're

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:15,440
not going to look at that just yet because I want to look AT THIS, THE

4
00:00:12,120 --> 00:00:18,440
FROST BAY, a water cooling unit that

5
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:22,800
takes it from 80 watts TDP all the way

6
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,800
up to a whopping 120

7
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:35,960
What is handheld about this?

8
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:40,000
This is a whole freaking water cooling setup. You got your radiator. You've got

9
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:46,440
your Seriously, you ripped off the Cooler

10
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:49,400
Master logo and called it Cooler Doctor?

11
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,400
Fill port.

12
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,000
Wait. Wait.

13
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:00,800
No. Ain't no way. I mean, that's all that's

14
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:05,640
in here other than of course this quick connect water cooling tube thing.

15
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:09,760
Rotates counterclockwise to lock, that is counter [music]

16
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:16,280
intuitive. Now, [laughter] let's have a look at the Apex. I'm

17
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:20,960
legitimately so excited to check this thing out. It's a direct competitor to

18
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:25,640
the GPD Win 5, which I've been really enjoying. I played through just about

19
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:32,720
all of Expedition 33 on it and I had an amazing experience thanks to the up to

20
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:35,640
Ryzen AI Max 395 Plus processor. That

21
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:43,720
thing is an absolute monster. I'm talking 16 Zen 5 CPU cores, 32 threads,

22
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:45,920
8,000 mega transfer per second LPDDR5X

23
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:55,000
memory, which matters a lot because of the Radeon 860S GPU. You can run AAA

24
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:56,280
games on this handheld on its 8-in 1200p

25
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:02,080
display at like [music] high settings.

26
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,480
And I got to say

27
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:11,360
I think they actually kind of nailed the ergonomics for it. To be clear this is a

28
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:14,040
heavy handheld and I don't even have a

29
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:18,440
battery attached to it yet. But, it's quite holdable for an 8-in.

30
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:22,920
All right, let's have a look at the inputs and outputs, shall we? We've got

31
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:27,720
capacitive joysticks, pretty satisfying feeling clicky D-pad.

32
00:02:25,640 --> 00:02:32,080
Ooh, I really like the face buttons, too.

33
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:35,920
Nice clicky micro switch style but with a little bit of travel before you get to

34
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:40,640
the click. I ooh, I really like that. It's almost like a like a hybrid

35
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:44,400
approach. Hall effect triggers that have a

36
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:47,560
hair trigger switch. That's not the most responsive hair

37
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:52,360
trigger switch I've ever seen but it's not bad. Very reachable shoulders.

38
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:56,320
Actually love the ergonomics of that. Along the top, we've got a headphone

39
00:02:53,880 --> 00:03:01,720
jack, fingerprint sensing power button, volume rocker, USB-A, barrel jack. Okay,

40
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:06,520
we're going to have to talk about power profiles and charging quite a bit and a

41
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:10,280
USB 4 port that does 40 gigabit per second and can charge but

42
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,080
Okay, I guess we're going to get into it a little bit now.

43
00:03:11,917 --> 00:03:17,200
>> [clears throat] >> The device is limited to 55 watts TDP

44
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:20,120
while we're plugged into that. What's this?

45
00:03:19,122 --> 00:03:26,880
>> [gasps] >> All right. So, the water cooling's actually

46
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:29,080
optional. You can get it with or without

47
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:33,640
and then if you get the water cooling add-on, you can buy the Frost Bay for

48
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:38,080
another $200, which I mean

49
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:42,080
it's not a little bit but it's also not a lot for an external water cooling bay.

50
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:47,000
It doesn't seem outlandish. Also on the back here

51
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:50,640
got a couple paddle buttons and

52
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:53,960
Oh, interesting. Did OneXPlayer use the

53
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:55,680
same battery interface as GPD? It looks

54
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,760
extremely similar but apparently is not quite the

55
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:02,680
same. That's actually a bit of a disappointment. I'd prefer they were the

56
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:08,520
same. Along the bottom, we've got another type C port, a micro SD slot and

57
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:13,520
then speaking of copying homework, a mini SSD slot. There aren't a lot of

58
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:17,680
options for occupying this but Biwin makes one and it can be found in up to 2

59
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:22,120
terabyte capacities and is much faster than a micro SD card. What else is in

60
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:27,040
the box? Now, let's talk about that battery.

61
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:30,640
Woo! She was already a little on the heavier

62
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:37,320
side. Now, she's even heavier. This is an 85

63
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,520
watt hour battery that um unfortunately,

64
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:42,840
at the highest wattage that this thing can run at

65
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:47,840
is not actually going to last you that long. To their credit though, OneXPlayer

66
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:52,640
did what I would have liked GPD to do and they put a kickstand on the battery

67
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:56,360
so you can actually use a kickstand with this thing.

68
00:04:53,760 --> 00:05:03,520
Wow, more copied homework. This is pretty much the same like interface.

69
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:05,080
I suspect that OneXPlayer knows that not

70
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:10,160
many people are going to buy this water cooled option unless they're planning to

71
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:12,680
use this like functionally as a desktop,

72
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:19,080
which you could. I mean, it's a Ryzen AI Max 395 Plus.

73
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:24,680
Uh This is new. It's a hex driver.

74
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:27,080
That ooh ooh ooh, Phillips head? Ooh,

75
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:31,840
flathead? Yeah, I think we've got better screwdrivers at lttstore.com. Dude,

76
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:36,760
trick seven is so cool. I just wish so expensive. And I also wish that

77
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:42,120
OneXPlayer was using the newly announced skews that have lesser CPUs but still

78
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:45,840
have the full fat GPU. But, unfortunately, I have to assume that

79
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:50,520
development was done on this unit before those were announced.

80
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,520
There we go.

81
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,880
Here we go.

82
00:05:55,400 --> 00:06:01,480
Not going to lie. I'm into it.

83
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:07,600
Okay, this is pretty clever. So, this is the

84
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:12,040
air cooled version, which costs a little bit less cuz it doesn't include the

85
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:17,120
water block. Right? There's your Ryzen AI Max down there. Pretty standard, you

86
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:23,040
know, handheld layout at this point. Then, you just take the top

87
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:25,200
of that cold plate for the CPU

88
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:30,600
and you just hack this copper plate on it. This will allow you to assist the

89
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:33,840
integrated air cooler by pulling heat directly off of over top of the chip

90
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:40,000
here. You know what this handheld needed? More weight.

91
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:44,480
Apparently, this thing's about 70 g. So, if you're not going to use the external

92
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:47,280
water cooler, I wouldn't opt for that uh version of it.

93
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:56,240
Okay. You know what? That's not that bad.

94
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:59,920
One fan, one piece of tape and I can get

95
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:01,400
at a full 80 mm M.2.

96
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:05,920
I I'm okay [music] with it. I'm okay with it. That's not bad. I think you

97
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:09,600
could get a double-sided SSD in here but you'd be putting more pressure on this

98
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,800
ribbon cable than I would be comfortable with. It's not the sort of thing that I

99
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:16,640
would be recommending even if maybe you could get

100
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:21,840
away with it. Let's turn it on after telling you about

101
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:25,960
our sponsor. Online scammers now have access to AI tools making it easier for

102
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:30,600
them not just to trick your nana and papa but even some more clever folks

103
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:35,880
like you. And according to the global state of scams report, losses due to

104
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:40,200
scams have reached over 1 trillion dollars. Well, Bitdefender has a ton of

105
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:44,000
tools to help such as scam radar. It helps protect its users from mobile and

00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:39,400
linked down below. Oh, now seems like a good time to address that like the Win

120
00:08:36,599 --> 00:08:41,960
5, there is an umbilical cord option. You have to pay extra for it in this

121
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:45,080
case but it allows you to run the battery separately with just like a lead

122
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:49,360
to it. I kind of thought that was silly back

123
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:53,280
when I did my unboxing of the Win 5 but when I was using it for a period of a

124
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:58,000
couple months actually, I found myself almost exclusively using it that way cuz

125
00:08:55,520 --> 00:09:03,080
it turns out that having all this weight hanging off your hands

126
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:05,040
it's just it's not great.

127
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:10,440
This kickstand helps a fair bit. It would make me more likely to care about

128
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,440
having the battery attached but

129
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:18,240
Wow, is this over a kilo with the battery on it cuz it feels like it's

130
00:09:15,560 --> 00:09:23,040
over a kilo. And also there's a little bit of play

131
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,040
in this attachment.

132
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:30,880
Doesn't feel reassuring, you know? Think what I would probably do is put

133
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:35,240
like a a higher I see they've already done it but I would put a bigger foam

134
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:40,200
sticker here so you like really compress that so it doesn't move around. Oh, I

135
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:44,000
haven't shown you guys the power brick yet.

136
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:50,000
Dude, this is the unboxing that never ends, man.

137
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:52,280
Is that an XT60?

138
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:59,080
Yep. Everyone knows I was kidding when I talked about using XT60s for PC power,

139
00:09:55,680 --> 00:10:02,360
right? You have got

140
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,360
to be kidding me here.

141
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,591
One X >> [laughter]

142
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:13,760
>> One X Player advertises up to 240

143
00:10:10,560 --> 00:10:16,280
watts of charging off of this GAN brick

144
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:19,920
and XT60 connector.

145
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:26,280
And is this is this only a 3-ft cable? I mean, I

146
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:31,640
guess being an XT60, you can kind of mod any cable you want, but this is This is

147
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:33,480
not a very good handheld experience,

148
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:38,880
ladies and gentlemen. Like, look at this. I have to get that all the way to the

149
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:43,400
top of the device. What the Sam heck were they thinking

150
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:47,040
putting this short cable on it? They were thinking you put it into the Frost

151
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:50,440
Bay first. Does it matter which one's which?

152
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:53,200
They're not labeled. Okay, okay, so it's just >> It's just literally a power

153
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:59,960
pass-through. Okay. >> pass-through then. This is also not great. This is an extremely short cable.

154
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:05,600
Okay, we'll get to the We'll get to the Frost Bay later. First, I want to see

155
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:08,000
this thing in its maximum performance

156
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:13,160
glory. By the way, it's worth noting that while it supports 240-watt

157
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:14,839
charging, like basically any device, it

158
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:18,640
only does that for a little while, and it especially only does that for a

159
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:21,760
little while before really settling down.

160
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:27,320
You know, in theory, a capacitive joystick is a

161
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:28,800
really high-quality way to

162
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:32,040
build a joystick. [music] Unfortunately, this is about the

163
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:37,480
cheapest-feeling implementation that I've ever felt. The responsiveness of it

164
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:39,440
is great. The feel is not. I feel like

165
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:44,400
something's wrong here. Okay, let's press the One X button. Ah,

166
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:50,080
yes, we're at 20 watts. Let's go to 80, shall we?

167
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:57,520
WOAH, THAT'S MORE LIKE IT. WOAH, listen to those fans go, buddy.

168
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:59,040
This is 50% fan?

169
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:04,600
Oh, you can control the vibration motors?

170
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:07,440
Mhm, wow. This is a really nice little

171
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:12,360
resolution tool. One X Player's overlay has improved a

172
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:15,320
lot since the last time I looked at it.

173
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:19,400
This is insane. Like, sure, I'm only getting

174
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:26,160
30 FPS, but guys, this is Cyberpunk 2077.

175
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:29,040
And sure, I Okay, I'm using some

176
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:33,920
FidelityFX upscaling, but I'm running at freaking like high.

177
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:40,280
Like here, if we actually went to the Steam Deck preset, okay? Steam Deck

178
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:45,360
preset, 720p like a Steam Deck. Jeepers

179
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:48,240
creepers, 150 160 FPS.

180
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:51,880
This thing is an absolute monster. It's so loud,

181
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:56,520
but so is the Win 5. Give me a second.

182
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:05,400
I almost exclusively game on it using my AirPods so that I can

183
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:07,440
tune out the fan noise. Quite blockable.

184
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:10,120
Quite blockable indeed. Okay, what about the speakers?

185
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:19,200
Those are shockingly rich speakers.

186
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:21,960
It's kind of a shame that I'll never get to use them because the fans are so

187
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:30,240
loud. Okay, let's go to a power profile that I'd be more likely to actually use.

188
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,720
Now we're talking. Reasonable fan noise

189
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:37,040
to the point where I can actually use the speakers.

190
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:39,400
Still incredible performance at very

191
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:43,600
usable image quality. And if you're running at 45 watts,

192
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:47,240
you'll actually get like a couple hours of battery life out of it.

193
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:52,160
Or at least I I don't know, it's complicated.

194
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:58,400
Because unlike the Win 5, One X Player has made the odd decision to limit the

195
00:13:55,120 --> 00:14:00,680
power to 20 watts for the last 20% of

196
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:04,240
your battery, and there's no obvious way to override that that we've been able to

197
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:07,760
find. Either way, up until that time, it'll be pretty solid. Let's try the

198
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:12,240
water cooler. So, I'm going to assume this needs to be

199
00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:16,240
full of water first. There's no real power switch on it. The Frost Bay

200
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:20,160
doesn't have a conventional on-off switch.

201
00:14:17,560 --> 00:14:24,600
So, so we need to go into the full One X

202
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:27,720
Player utility, and then we have to pair it via

203
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:30,720
Bluetooth. In summary,

204
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:36,480
getting the water cooling system connected is not super intuitive. Okay,

205
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:40,280
connect. Hey, I think we're there. We are connected.

206
00:14:39,079 --> 00:14:45,280
Now, what did it Oh, there it is.

207
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:47,560
It just kicked in. 120 watts, let's go.

208
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:55,200
Okay, so the cooling system is in smart fan curve mode. We're

209
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:55,200
getting 50 ml per minute.

210
00:14:55,760 --> 00:15:03,880
Is anyone else seeing that number and going, "Yo, what?" That's like nothing. I'm

211
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:07,600
pretty psyched right now, though. I can't wait to try this.

212
00:15:05,839 --> 00:15:12,079
You can't have the battery kickstand on at the same time as this, but they do

213
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:17,160
have like a cardboard eco stand that you can put it on with the uh

214
00:15:14,959 --> 00:15:21,920
dock. With that said, the way this dock is configured with like no tether

215
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:27,839
distance or anything, it's pretty clear that it's a it's a desktop dock. Like,

216
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:32,360
this is not meant for handheld use at all.

217
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:34,839
This thing is so insane.

218
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:38,959
We're closing in on 200 FPS. Like, okay, yeah, it's turned down pretty low, but

219
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:43,520
watch this. Okay, forget this Steam Deck nonsense. Now we're going to go ultra.

220
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:47,600
Yeah, sure, we'll use upscaling, but we're going to use the native resolution of the panel this time. So, we'll

221
00:15:46,079 --> 00:15:57,280
upscale to [music] that. And we're getting a casual 80+ FPS. Holy crap.

222
00:15:54,440 --> 00:16:00,959
Freaking smooth. Man, could I even run native?

223
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:05,240
Dude, you could run native 1200p ultra on this

224
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:10,640
thing. That is so sharp. We're still getting

225
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:16,720
like 70+ FPS, and the temps are fine.

226
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:18,160
Not amazing, all things considered. I

227
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:21,640
would kind of think that the water cooling unit would be doing more. Man, I

228
00:16:20,079 --> 00:16:26,280
mean, it's definitely carrying heat away. This tube is warm.

229
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:29,640
And this one is cool. It It needs more water flow. And I'd be

230
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:33,680
down to like put a better pump in this thing, get some real water flow going.

231
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:38,560
Like, this is This is so cool.

232
00:16:36,839 --> 00:16:43,400
Pump is running at 50%. Like, we can turn it up. And the water cooler is

233
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:49,120
disconnected again, and I can't get it to 120 watts. But, you know what? As I

234
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:53,880
already said, realistically, the water cooler is not something that I

235
00:16:50,959 --> 00:16:59,520
expect pretty much anyone to actually use with this thing. And the

236
00:16:55,560 --> 00:17:01,160
good news is that it already has

237
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:04,679
I was going to say class-leading performance without the water cooler,

238
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:09,160
but it just has leading performance without the water

239
00:17:06,959 --> 00:17:14,280
cooler. It manages a slightly higher maximum TDP compared to the GPD Win 5.

240
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:19,360
And even at 75 watts, because of One X Player's emphasis on GPU power versus

241
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:24,079
CPU power in graphically intensive games, you should expect a little bit

242
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:30,440
more performance. With that said, the GPD Win 5 did outperform the Apex in,

243
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:34,360
for example, Rocket League at 1080p, which is a little bit more of a

244
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:38,679
CPU-bound scenario. Bottom line, you're getting otherworldly performance in a

245
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:43,240
handheld form factor with this thing. Like, it's just mind-blowing. I mean, Black Myth at 720p was what, like over

246
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:47,640
100 FPS? Well over 100 FPS at reasonable

247
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:52,040
settings. With all of that said, as someone who

248
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:55,040
has daily District's Halo device in a handheld form factor,

249
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:59,920
I'd say unless you're plugged into the wall, it's very unlikely that you're actually

250
00:17:58,679 --> 00:18:05,840
going to be running it at maximum wattage, and that's where One X Player's

251
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:08,040
solution for their barrel charger really

252
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:12,520
falls short for me. I'm not a big fan of that. I need a longer cable. With that

253
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:17,280
said, I feel like they make up a lot of that ground in the superior ergonomics

254
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:21,640
of the device compared to the GPD Win 5, not to mention the larger display. It

255
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:26,240
has about the same peak brightness, around 500 nits, and does 120 Hz

256
00:18:24,679 --> 00:18:31,400
variable refresh rate. So, there's no real compromises there. It's just a big,

257
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:34,960
pretty bright, beautiful display. We're going to throw up some battery results

258
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:41,159
here, but there's a very important caveat, and that is that, as I mentioned

259
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:43,120
before, the Apex drops to 20 watts when

260
00:18:41,159 --> 00:18:46,679
it has 20% battery left. So, realistically, I'd expect real-world

261
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:51,720
results that are a lot closer to what's listed in the GPD Win 5 column, because

262
00:18:48,679 --> 00:18:53,520
they are very similar devices. Now, the

263
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:59,600
only question is, if all of this looked appealing, what could it cost, Michael?

264
00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:02,840
$10 for the base model with a Ryzen AI

265
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:04,560
Max 385, it's ooh.

266
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:08,560
Then for the upgraded one with more RAM and a 395, it's ooh.

267
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:13,880
Then if you want the water cooler, IT'S AH. I I'M JUST MAKING NOISES BECAUSE they

268
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:18,679
keep changing the pricing. It's actually gone up since we started shooting this

269
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:22,880
video, so. It's really cool, though. Water cool.
