WEBVTT 00:00:00.179 --> 00:00:05.160 I'm ready oh where's the Jerry rig 00:00:03.780 --> 00:00:11.880 everything knife has that arrived yet Zach where's my knife inside this 00:00:07.560 --> 00:00:15.240 horrible box is the Aya Neo next the 00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:17.820 successor to the Aya Neil Pro 2021 that 00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:22.140 I so positively reviewed very recently online as Tech tips 00:00:20.279 --> 00:00:30.119 the biggest difference between the Inu next and the ineo 2021 Pro 00:00:26.340 --> 00:00:31.920 is well actually pretty much everything 00:00:30.119 --> 00:00:35.899 the processor is different we're moving to a ryzen 5000 series mobile CPU 00:00:34.380 --> 00:00:41.940 although we're still equipped with lpddr4x unlike the steam deck and 00:00:39.480 --> 00:00:46.079 top spec goes from one terabyte of solid state storage to two terabytes but it 00:00:44.579 --> 00:00:50.219 gets even more interesting than that they have completely redesigned the 00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:54.899 ergonomics of the device to be more in line with their new vision for their 00:00:52.379 --> 00:01:01.379 product which is whoop to be less dependent on here we go like Windows you 00:00:58.980 --> 00:01:06.060 know Windows Escape task manager buttons things like that and more dependent on 00:01:03.539 --> 00:01:10.439 their own is space I guess I would call it kind of like a launcher slash game 00:01:07.860 --> 00:01:15.780 organizer slash system Configuration utility please put on gloves to open the 00:01:12.960 --> 00:01:19.380 next spot oh wow okay hopefully they sent a small actually this does look 00:01:17.880 --> 00:01:23.400 like very these look like very small gloves they sent me Unit Seven 00:01:21.360 --> 00:01:27.420 apparently they don't know me very well 69 would have been the correct answer 00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:32.000 Aya oh well this is a significant departure 00:01:29.820 --> 00:01:39.780 from their previous devices much bigger joysticks 00:01:35.479 --> 00:01:43.520 much tighter abxy this makes the 2021 00:01:39.780 --> 00:01:46.020 Pro feel downright Loose by comparison 00:01:43.520 --> 00:01:52.320 ergonomics are definitely better but they still manage to maintain that I uh 00:01:48.659 --> 00:01:55.320 slimness so you can see it's quite a bit 00:01:52.320 --> 00:01:57.659 thinner than this is the 1X player mini 00:01:55.320 --> 00:02:02.340 and actually we've actually got the steam deck here as well so it's quite a 00:02:00.060 --> 00:02:05.579 bit thinner and narrower than the steam deck 00:02:03.299 --> 00:02:09.000 of course compared to the Neo 2021 Pro you do give up some of the pocket 00:02:07.860 --> 00:02:14.220 ability that's one of the things I actually really like about it oh that's 00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:18.180 really nice it has USB PD for the actual ineo and then it's also got an 00:02:15.660 --> 00:02:22.319 additional five volt Outlet 65 Watts total USBC to type a adapters I guess 00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:27.300 now's as good a time as I need to go over the i o so unlike the original Neo 00:02:24.959 --> 00:02:31.140 which had three USBC ports we get only two but that's still twice as many as 00:02:29.640 --> 00:02:36.000 the steam deck so we've got one on the bottom and one on the top and don't 00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:39.180 underestimate the importance of this feature you know what David I actually 00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:43.980 find myself depending whether I'm sitting in a chair or whether I'm lying 00:02:41.580 --> 00:02:46.800 in bed using it actually preferring the top or the bottom depending on the 00:02:45.720 --> 00:02:51.660 situation so as a as a top and bottom kind of 00:02:49.379 --> 00:02:55.620 person I really like having the option it's called a switch three and a half 00:02:54.060 --> 00:02:59.459 millimeter Jack on the top how did I not bring a switch to set for this uh volume 00:02:57.480 --> 00:03:04.260 up and down power button with fingerprint reader 00:03:01.739 --> 00:03:07.980 what are these analog triggers feel not bad a little bit of resistance 00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:11.879 I think the top shoulders could be a little tighter you can see they've moved 00:03:09.780 --> 00:03:15.599 away from the mobile style joysticks to full-size joysticks just like you'd have 00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:19.860 on a regular like console controller just like on the steam deck and this is 00:03:17.700 --> 00:03:24.000 an either love it or hate it move they both have their pros and cons the 00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:27.299 advantage is obviously finer control and the disadvantage is that it increases 00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:31.560 the profile of the device a fair bit also on the front we've got our whatever 00:03:29.640 --> 00:03:34.620 these buttons are called for the Xbox I call them start and select because I'm 00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:39.239 old your your abxy and then ah these okay so 00:03:38.340 --> 00:03:44.700 we're gonna have to figure out what these do once we get it fired up here this video is brought to you by secret 00:03:42.299 --> 00:03:47.940 Lab secret lab makes gaming chairs that are engineered to

you can play like legit high-end games 00:04:08.760 --> 00:04:16.100 on them and this one promises to be really exciting so it can be equipped 00:04:13.140 --> 00:04:22.680 with either the 5800 or the 5825u ryzen 5000 series processor which 00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:25.080 still has Vega based Graphics though as 00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:30.060 we saw in the 2021 Pro clocked high enough it can be pretty 00:04:28.080 --> 00:04:35.880 good with the rdna2 graphics in the steam deck and unlike the steam deck 00:04:32.820 --> 00:04:37.580 it's got Zen 3 course that's right CPU 00:04:35.880 --> 00:04:43.740 performance on this thing is going to be bananas Zen three come on 00:04:42.060 --> 00:04:49.139 unlike the steam deck there's no special anti-glare coating on the screen but it 00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:51.479 is also an IPS type panel and 1280 by 00:04:49.139 --> 00:04:55.440 800 in resolution okay I'm not going to be swiping my finger I think I will just 00:04:53.340 --> 00:05:01.380 touch the touch sensor Now swipe with the sides of your finger 00:04:57.540 --> 00:05:03.840 all right all right all right got it oh 00:05:01.380 --> 00:05:09.180 that's really cool they have the same quick desktop switching Button as I 00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:13.259 really liked on the 1X player I gotta tell you now that I'm more used 00:05:11.039 --> 00:05:18.600 to it uh navigating Windows with the controllers like actually kind of sick 00:05:16.979 --> 00:05:24.360 like obviously there's some things that don't work particularly well but 00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:27.539 it's not bad it's not bad fans definitely going it's the weight 00:05:25.979 --> 00:05:31.440 compared to that 21 Pro pretty similar that's one of the 00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:34.620 things that's kind of dragging me down about these is they're really heavy 00:05:33.300 --> 00:05:40.440 compared to something like a Nintendo switch and it's like noticeable you know 00:05:37.979 --> 00:05:46.080 like if I'm lying on my side I'd be like this you know I gotta have a hand down I 00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:49.440 gotta turn the auto rotate off you're playing like an emulator game or 00:05:47.699 --> 00:05:52.199 something like that's a really bad time apparently there are some known issues 00:05:50.820 --> 00:05:58.139 with these first units and the production ones will not have the same ones uh extra backlight bleed the 00:05:56.340 --> 00:06:01.620 joysticks might be a little off because they're like hand soldered or something 00:05:59.580 --> 00:06:06.539 yeah one of the big issues with the old one is that these Corners right here it 00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:13.139 doesn't seem like a problem but when you've had that in your hand for like 20 00:06:08.520 --> 00:06:15.419 minutes half an hour an hour two hours 00:06:13.139 --> 00:06:20.160 starts to kind of wear it out this feels a lot better I have no idea 00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:24.199 what I'm agreeing to right now shoot it change the language to Chinese 00:06:21.780 --> 00:06:27.539 again Andy 00:06:29.039 --> 00:06:36.120 stuff help me wait no it's English it's English I'm good 00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:39.240 okay bye all right so it collects your games it supports Microsoft games and 00:06:37.860 --> 00:06:44.520 Steam games right now they're working on adding other launchers and then the 00:06:41.400 --> 00:06:47.960 assistant is pretty cool so you can 00:06:44.520 --> 00:06:51.840 correct your joysticks you can what is 00:06:47.960 --> 00:06:54.479 swick oh okay that's kind of cute so 00:06:51.840 --> 00:07:00.120 that's the replacement for the keyboard task manager buttons and stuff here just 00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:06.120 like the 2021 Pro they have really nice haptic Motors custom Key current uh task 00:07:03.300 --> 00:07:08.940 yeah task manager and we can adjust TDP but we don't want to adjust the TDP in 00:07:07.500 --> 00:07:12.660 here we want to whoops there we go we want to do that 00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:17.099 from in here so you can adjust your power profile or fan profile whatever 00:07:14.220 --> 00:07:21.780 this is as well as the TDP of your processor now I don't know which version 00:07:19.380 --> 00:07:24.660 they sent to me so I'm gonna have to check that real quick but the first 00:07:23.039 --> 00:07:29.340 thing I want to do is change my display scaling 00:07:26.039 --> 00:07:31.560 100 please okay this is one really 00:07:29.340 --> 00:07:35.160 annoying navigation issue when Windows isn't sure whether you're using a mouse 00:07:32.940 --> 00:07:39.840 or a keyboard that's something I would like to see I address here I right click 00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:44.759 this all of a sudden see the joystick is controlling both The 00:07:41.819 --> 00:07:49.620 Mouse and the selector here so it gets a little confused 00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:52.500 right I remember what I was doing I wanted to know what spec they sent 00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:57.840 there's three different specs of this machine one with up to 32 gigs of 00:07:55.580 --> 00:08:03.720 lpddr4x memory they did not send me that one 00:07:58.620 --> 00:08:05.520 nope I get the 16 gigs of 4266 uh and I 00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:10.919 get so this is the base model but the ryzen 7 5800u the main difference 00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:14.759 between the 5800 and the 5825 is that the CPU is clocked a touch higher do 00:08:13.259 --> 00:08:18.120 maternal a classic by the time this video comes 00:08:16.860 --> 00:08:22.440 out I won't have been able to give any Impressions on the steam deck but I will 00:08:20.280 --> 00:08:26.340 say that I hope the speakers on the Neo next are really very excellent I can say 00:08:24.840 --> 00:08:29.819 that the backlight bleed is better than the previous generation Neo already so 00:08:27.960 --> 00:08:35.219 that's really nice to see this thing's insane David 00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:41.580 I did I mean I don't know what exactly I was expecting but confirmed Zen three 00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:44.279 a lot faster than Zen 2. I'm getting 00:08:41.580 --> 00:08:49.560 anywhere like I'm not dropping below 60 FPS and I'm on medium 00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:53.339 whoops I mean that doesn't make me uh any good at aiming unfortunately just 00:08:51.899 --> 00:08:56.120 computers have got where you 00:08:58.740 --> 00:09:08.459 have a few shortages aside but here every 10 every 20 performance uplift we 00:09:05.339 --> 00:09:11.279 get well 20 on the desktop could be the 00:09:08.459 --> 00:09:15.320 difference between 200 and 240 FPS like both of them are pretty darn smooth here 00:09:13.500 --> 00:09:24.480 twenty percent is the difference between 50 FPS and 60 FPS it's a really really 00:09:21.839 --> 00:09:28.920 different Gap so that's what I think I'm experiencing right now 00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:34.200 is that sort of that generational Improvement in smoothness I'm just gonna 00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:39.060 have to switch to this thing the fan noise 00:09:35.880 --> 00:09:42.959 even in I think we're in Wild mode 00:09:39.060 --> 00:09:45.120 you are yeah game Wild 00:09:42.959 --> 00:09:51.720 that is wild the fan noise is totally reasonable 00:09:48.540 --> 00:09:52.680 oh that's way way better than the 2021 00:09:51.720 --> 00:10:00.120 Pro okay so now in these more intense scenes 00:09:56.279 --> 00:10:03.540 we're seeing dips down to like 45 FPS 00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:06.000 still that is markedly better than on 00:10:03.540 --> 00:10:11.640 the previous one and what's cool about this is that I haven't even turned it 00:10:07.800 --> 00:10:14.160 down to low yet I'm gaming in medium 00:10:11.640 --> 00:10:18.899 freaking do the turtle sure yeah potato can run it but like a handheld potato 00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:23.399 definitely feeling the stutters a little bit more now seriously still very 00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:27.839 playable though even with my total lack of skill what what 00:10:25.500 --> 00:10:31.740 oh please stop man they told me I was gonna really like this one compared to 00:10:29.339 --> 00:10:37.700 the Retro power and I was like something that looks this good you 00:10:33.660 --> 00:10:37.700 expect me to stop using it 00:10:38.339 --> 00:10:46.140 I do like the Plastics of the Retro power better they've got a bit of a nicer kind of 00:10:43.920 --> 00:10:49.560 soft touch finish on the back but honestly this silver part on the front 00:10:47.700 --> 00:10:53.160 feels kind of cheap to me compared to just using the same material like they 00:10:51.300 --> 00:10:57.959 did on their older ones but the ergonomics in there 00:10:54.660 --> 00:11:00.420 they're a lot better holy crap we're 00:10:57.959 --> 00:11:04.560 running on medium don't expect to go for longer than maybe a couple hours if 00:11:02.820 --> 00:11:10.920 you're lucky running like this but that is 30 FPS solid Witcher 3 00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:15.240 running at medium details after those couple of early hitches 00:11:12.959 --> 00:11:20.760 it's like running well too unlike the steam deck it's got a full 00:11:16.920 --> 00:11:22.320 2280 size m.2 slot so there's new higher 00:11:20.760 --> 00:11:25.800 density chips coming as those roll out we could see 16 00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:32.519 terabyte like gum stick ssds like it's crazy 00:11:30.060 --> 00:11:37.740 what a time to be alive like when I was a kid we had the Game Boy 00:11:34.620 --> 00:11:39.959 you know look at this my kids are like 00:11:37.740 --> 00:11:44.700 can I play on the Neo do you know how many double a batteries I bought uh 00:11:42.420 --> 00:11:49.560 ladies and gentlemen F1 2021 00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:53.820 medium details okay 00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:56.040 I mean yeah it's only 1280 by 800 but at 00:11:53.820 --> 00:12:00.540 this size it looks great you know what the bigger joysticks are 00:11:57.600 --> 00:12:05.220 worth it they're worth the extra bold these are really smooth too I'm liking 00:12:02.459 --> 00:12:08.700 them I like the triggers too the angle on the triggers could be a little bit 00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:11.639 better in my opinion I wish they were kind of instead of being so flat like 00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:18.180 this I wish they were kind of like this to start this thing is freaking awesome 00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:19.680 the only disadvantage is the price that 00:12:18.180 --> 00:12:23.100 is where valve is changing the game the steam deck costs somewhere in the 00:12:21.180 --> 00:12:30.740 neighborhood of a third to half depending on how it's configured 00:12:25.680 --> 00:12:30.740 but wow is this ever cool 00:12:31.040 --> 00:12:35.880 I don't know both good options 00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:39.240 maybe check out the unboxing of the steam deck uh we just did that the other 00:12:37.620 --> 00:12:42.680 day we can't show performance yet but that's coming very soon as well
