1 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:09,519 Happy birthday, son. Here is the Switch, 2 00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:12,960 too. I promised you, and you can have it as soon as I make sure that you're not 3 00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:17,680 making the biggest mistake of your young life. You see, there are a ton of 4 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:21,840 amazing handheld gaming devices these days, and I think you should at least 5 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:26,480 try them before making your decision. And the question will be, are you gonna 6 00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:30,800 stick with Nintendo's latest, or are you gonna take the plunge into the big boy 7 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:36,160 pool, like because some of the PC competitors are really big, not because 8 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:40,079 adults can't enjoy Mario Kart. I like Mario Kart. So, here's the deal. You're 9 00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:43,920 going to try eight different gaming handhelds today, and if you like one of 10 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:47,600 them more than you like the Switch 2, you can take that home instead. But 11 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:52,160 there's a catch. Should you choose something other than the Switch 2, I'm 12 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:57,039 not buying you a Switch 2, just like I'm not going to buy you the Segway to our 13 00:00:54,239 --> 00:01:01,520 sponsor, SY. Make sure you stay connected on your next vacation or work 14 00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:06,640 trip with SY's eim plans available in over 200 destinations. You can get 15% 15 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:11,159 off a plan by clicking our link and using code LTT at checkout. 16 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:24,960 The reason I'm excited for the Switch 2, it's like a brand new console and it's 17 00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:29,360 really the only console I I know about. The new Mario Kart sounds pretty fun. 18 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:33,520 Also, the upgraded versions of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. The 19 00:01:31,119 --> 00:01:36,960 backwards compatibility is important because even though Mario Kart World 20 00:01:35,439 --> 00:01:40,640 might be better than Mario Kart 8, I might still want to play that sometimes. 21 00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:45,280 If I'm going to see my cousins, I'm bringing a handheld. Battery life would 22 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:48,560 be kind of important, but if I can also just bring a charger and charge it while 23 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:51,840 I'm playing. So, so it's not like a deal breaker. It's not a deal breaker for 24 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:56,479 sure. You're going to get me to try eight consoles in an hour and decide 25 00:01:54,079 --> 00:02:01,520 between one of them. Yes. Let's start with the 800 lb gorilla, the Steam Deck. 26 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:06,719 While it might not be the most powerful of our choices today, there is a reason 27 00:02:03,759 --> 00:02:12,000 that is the most popular. Steam OS is slick as heck, not to mention just plain 28 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:16,640 more efficient than Windows. And Valve's understanding of gaming shines through 29 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:22,319 in every aspect of its design. Its only drawback is that it has a limited game 30 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:27,040 library. But that's only compared to Windows handhelds. Compared to Big Red, 31 00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:32,160 the SteamX game library is expansive, not to mention way more affordable 32 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:35,519 because you can play most of the games that you can get on Steam. We've got a 33 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,800 couple of games preloaded, but the most important one is probably Split Fiction. 34 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:42,480 Not because I think it'll be your favorite game ever, but because it is 35 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:47,920 crossplatform and available on all of our systems. Any initial impressions? 36 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:50,560 This mouse pad is so cool. Yeah, the 37 00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:54,160 dual trackpads on this thing actually very cool. You can use them for mouse 38 00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:58,959 aiming with some practice, and they have haptic feedback as you noticed already. 39 00:02:56,640 --> 00:03:02,400 Uh they also have momentum, so you can kind of throw them, and you'll you'll 40 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:06,080 feel them vibrate. They're very configurable. And if you want to play 41 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:11,920 something like, you know, a strategy game on the go, they're useful for that 42 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:15,760 as well. It's very big. 43 00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:17,680 Yes. Is that a problem? Depends if I'm 44 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:22,000 like traveling somewhere and my suitcase is full. In terms of the ergonomic 45 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:26,800 advantages, a lot of people really like that about the Steam Deck, but no, it's 46 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:32,159 not as packable as something like a Switch. The D-pad's kind of small. It's 47 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:35,840 hard to individually choose one rather than go diagonal. I don't think it's a 48 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:39,360 size issue, but no. The Steam Deck's D-pad is not known to be amazing. Do you 49 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:44,080 want to play around with Steam OS at all? Steam OS? What's Steam OS? Steam OS 50 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:49,680 is the operating system that Valve developed for the Steam Deck that only 51 00:03:46,799 --> 00:03:52,959 basically runs Steam. Okay, sure. You can use it in desktop mode with other 52 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:57,920 applications, but it's actually Linux- based. It is not Windows or Nintendo. It 53 00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:03,519 is their own thing. So, you've got the Steam button here, which allows you to 54 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:06,080 access all of Steam. And 55 00:04:03,519 --> 00:04:11,200 this little three dots here gives you access to all of your system settings. 56 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:15,439 That's very quick and useful. That I like that. Way better than the 57 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:18,320 implementation on Windows handhelds. It also gives the Steam Deck excellent 58 00:04:16,799 --> 00:04:23,440 efficiency if you're running lighter games like David Diver. and it will 59 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:28,240 instantly suspend and resume 60 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:32,400 like something like a Nintendo rather than taking a while to boot up like 61 00:04:30,479 --> 00:04:35,360 Windows. There are drawbacks though. It's one of the least performant out of 62 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:40,800 all the handhelds we're going to look at today and the screen honestly not 63 00:04:37,919 --> 00:04:48,000 amazing by today's standards. Of course, there is another. Meet the Steam Deck 64 00:04:44,639 --> 00:04:50,320 OLED. Is this the same as that one? 65 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:55,840 Well, not quite. The difference is right in the name. It's a Steam Deck, but with 66 00:04:52,639 --> 00:04:58,160 an OLED display, and it is beautiful. 67 00:04:55,840 --> 00:05:03,440 1,000 nits peak brightness, perfect blacks, HDR. They've done an outstanding 68 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:07,199 job with this thing. If this is the same as the other Steam Deck, but it just has 69 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:12,160 a better screen, is it just better? Yes, it's also a little faster. Okay. And to 70 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:16,560 show off just how much performance is on tap here, we actually loaded up The 71 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:20,639 Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, a Nintendo exclusive game in an emulator, 72 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:24,080 so you could try it and see what the experience is like. I would tap it. 73 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:28,160 Realistically, I don't think it's going to be much laggier than the Switch One, 74 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:32,320 but it's not going to hold a candle to the Switch 2. However, what do you think 75 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:36,479 of the display? It's very bright. It's It's a lot better than the other one. 76 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:40,960 Gets really laggy when I hit it for a second. Yeah, but the battery life is 77 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:46,560 even better than the original Steam Deck. Okay, why don't we move on? If 78 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:50,400 more performance is what you're after, this may be your poison. This is the 79 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:54,160 same thing you have. So, if I wanted to use one, I could just ask you to borrow 80 00:05:51,919 --> 00:05:58,320 it. Okay, that's hacking. Hacking is not 81 00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:04,000 allowed. Back to the script. You may be familiar with this one. 82 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:08,160 It's the one I use at home. Obviously, he's familiar with it. But for the rest 83 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:12,400 of you, the main draw of the ROG Ally is the inclusion of AMD's Z1 Extreme 84 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:16,240 processor, a chip that is so much more powerful than the Steam Deck that it 85 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:21,680 easily overcomes any of Windows's inefficiencies. Well, as long as we 86 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:26,560 ignore battery life in lighter games and ignore the kind of cludgy general 87 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:31,440 experience of navigating Windows on a handheld device, Microsoft has some work 88 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:34,000 to do. By the way, this and all of the devices that we've got today are going 89 00:06:32,639 --> 00:06:39,360 to be linked in the video description. This one, the story for the screen is a bit more complicated. It's 1080p, so 90 00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:44,800 higher resolution compared to the Steam Deck, but it's not OLED, but it can do 91 00:06:41,759 --> 00:06:46,560 up to 120 Hz. So, for supported games, 92 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:52,560 it'll be smoother, kind of like your monitor at home. Oh, also the interface 93 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:54,400 for changing things right there. So, you 94 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:57,440 can adjust your brightness, uh, change your performance mode. You won't get 95 00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:03,199 much battery life out of the higher performance modes, but uh hey, it's 96 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,479 really fast. Okay, let's try turbo. 97 00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:11,520 You're going to get like an hour of battery life if you're lucky on that mode. 48 minutes. 48 minutes. Yeah, on 98 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:16,160 that battery mode. Yeah. No, you don't want to run it on that. Oh. Oh, now it's 99 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:20,479 so slow. What if I told you there was an Ally, but with better battery life? I 100 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:24,479 That would be cool. Okay, let's have a look. Here you go. Brace yourself. She's 101 00:07:22,319 --> 00:07:29,680 heavier. Not by that much though when you consider that it went from a 40watth 102 00:07:26,639 --> 00:07:31,520 battery to an 80Wh battery. They 103 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:36,800 literally doubled the capacity of the battery which results in at least 2 104 00:07:34,479 --> 00:07:42,240 hours of battery life even in the higher performance modes and as much as a lot 105 00:07:39,919 --> 00:07:46,880 more hours. Is this one just the same as the other one with higher battery life? 106 00:07:44,479 --> 00:07:50,720 In general, yes. Uh oh, we actually made a small mistake on the RAM speed. So, 107 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:55,680 they increased the speed of the memory from 6,400 mega transfers per second to 108 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:59,440 7,500 mega transfers per second, which does make it a bit faster. It also has a 109 00:07:57,759 --> 00:08:05,280 little bit more memory, but in general, it's same same but better. This one's 110 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:09,599 way smoother and higher FPS than the other one we played Breath of the Wild 111 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:12,080 on. Yes, it's also in the highest mode, 112 00:08:09,599 --> 00:08:15,440 though, so I don't know. But what's nice about this is that it has such a big 113 00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:21,120 battery that you can actually run it in the highest power mode for an amount of 114 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:25,440 time. Seem like it's lagging a bit right now. I don't know. You tell me. You're 115 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:29,919 playing. It does a little bit. Emulation is not going to be perfect unless you 116 00:08:27,039 --> 00:08:36,560 have an extremely powerful system. And this is a fast handheld, but it's not an 117 00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:42,320 extremely powerful system even. So, okay. But why? I don't know. I was just 118 00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:47,920 trying to hit something. I didn't know it would. What did you think an explosive barrel was going to do? Yet 119 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:51,360 more proof as if you needed it. That no matter how good your gear is, it's not 120 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:54,880 going to make you a better gamer. Now, there are some things about the Ally X 121 00:08:52,959 --> 00:08:59,440 that aren't great. It still has the same display as the original Ally, which is 122 00:08:56,959 --> 00:09:03,120 fine, and it's significantly more expensive, but given you're not paying 123 00:09:01,839 --> 00:09:07,360 for your system, I guess that's a non-factor for you. Where does this rank 124 00:09:04,959 --> 00:09:10,560 for you? Probably at the very top. What if I told you that you could have the 125 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:15,120 performance of this with the removable controllers of the Switch? That would be 126 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:21,680 even better. Let's have a look. This time for real. She is a chunky boy. 127 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:27,440 That's very heavy compared to all the other ones. The benefit is this is the 128 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:29,600 biggest screen we've seen yet. 8.8 in 129 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:36,720 and the highest resolution. It does 1440p up to 144 hertz. Small drawback. 130 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:41,440 Remember the battery life issues of the first gen Ally? Yeah, basically the 131 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:45,760 same. How long would it last for in its highest performance mode? Uh, a little 132 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:50,800 over an hour. Okay. What do all of these buttons on the back do? Oh, well, those 133 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:53,839 are paddles, so you can bind them to any functions that you want. In fact, a lot 134 00:09:52,240 --> 00:10:00,640 of the ones we've looked at so far do have rear paddles. Uh, one of them, ah, 135 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:04,640 yes, slides off the controllers. 136 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:06,320 There we go. And this is cool. 137 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:10,000 Boop. That's a pretty cool use case, right? That's awesome. Especially cuz 138 00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:16,480 it's so heavy, you wouldn't want to hold it. Uh why don't you fire up uh Tomb 139 00:10:13,680 --> 00:10:20,720 Raider? The buttons are really small compared to some of the other ones, 140 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:24,800 though. It's not my favorite controller. But one nice thing is that on at least 141 00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:30,880 one side of it, it does have a trackpad. Oh, I didn't even notice that. That's 142 00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:33,839 why I'm here for the tech tips. Papa 143 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:37,440 tech tips. At this point, seeing all the options 144 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:41,120 that are out there, are you a little less confident that you want to switch 145 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:45,680 to for your birthday, or are you still pretty confident? A little bit. These 146 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:50,720 are all very cool and fast and a lot better than I expected for such a small 147 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:54,880 device. This is just a gorgeous game that even a few short years ago, you 148 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:58,800 would have needed a full-sized gaming PC to run, and it runs on this. Of course, 149 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:04,640 you won't always be able to just put it down on something, so you should try it 150 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:07,839 handheld. Okay. How does it feel? It's 151 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:09,920 very heavy. If I was to hold this for 152 00:11:07,839 --> 00:11:17,320 half an hour, an hour, I think my arms would get pretty tired. It does have 153 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:17,320 another party trick. Check this out. 154 00:11:17,680 --> 00:11:25,120 Oh, FPS mode. 155 00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:30,480 That becomes a mouse. But that's something. That's their 156 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:35,760 overlay. So, you can see performance and you can change your modes and all that. 157 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:37,519 This menu is laggier than the game is. 158 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:45,959 Okay, that's fair. I would like to change gears completely and go from our 159 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:45,959 heaviest device to our lightest one. 160 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:54,320 Can I get a longer time trying every single one of them before deciding? 161 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:55,600 No. Do I actually have to decide today? 162 00:11:54,320 --> 00:12:01,440 Yeah, but you thought I was like giving you a different answer on camera than I 163 00:11:57,680 --> 00:12:05,200 don't know. It's I'm choosing a console. 164 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:08,240 Yeah. Meet the PlayStation Portal. This 165 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:10,399 is not actually a console, but the combo 166 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:16,639 deal here is on offer because the price of a PS portal and a PlayStation 5 is 167 00:12:14,639 --> 00:12:20,560 actually less than some of the handheld PCs that we've looked at today. The 168 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:26,399 joystick's not in a very comfortable position. That's PlayStation style. You 169 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:29,360 do get used to it, but yes, it is not my preference either, the symmetrical 170 00:12:28,079 --> 00:12:34,320 joystick position versus the asymmetrical Xbox style. I'm also not a 171 00:12:31,839 --> 00:12:38,079 huge fan of their D-pad style, but they do have advantages in their controller, 172 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:42,720 and one is that their haptics are excellent. Also, this is compared to 173 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:48,720 anything else we're looking at today, the most powerful gaming solution. It's 174 00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:51,120 only 1080p, but it is a locked 60fps 175 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:55,600 with absolutely gorgeous levels of detail. It's also the least flexible 176 00:12:54,079 --> 00:13:01,639 solution in a way that I'll explain in a little bit, but why don't you give it a shot first? Which buttons A and which 177 00:12:58,399 --> 00:13:01,639 one's B? 178 00:13:03,519 --> 00:13:09,600 Not really a PlayStation house. Never seen a PlayStation. I don't Do any of 179 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:15,200 your friends have PlayStations? One of them does. Oh, okay. Have you ever used 180 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:16,800 it? No. Okay. Well, it doesn't have AB. 181 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:21,440 Well, which one confirms and which one goes? Can't remember. Okay. Look at the 182 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:27,440 visual fidelity, though. Okay. you haven't actually tried the Switch 2 yet, 183 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:30,079 but here it is. Like, look at the detail 184 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:35,760 level by comparison. Another great thing about the Portal is Sony's amazing game 185 00:13:32,399 --> 00:13:38,160 library. But here's the thing. While 186 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:42,240 this has the best battery life, also out of anything that we've tested, the 187 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:48,800 reason is that there's no game console in it. It is streaming wirelessly from 188 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:51,519 that PlayStation over there, which means 189 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:55,519 I need a PlayStation. Yes, not only do you need a PlayStation, but you need an 190 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:58,959 active internet connection to your PlayStation. And the closer you are to 191 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:02,639 your PlayStation, the better the experience. And the farther you are from 192 00:14:00,959 --> 00:14:07,440 your PlayStation, the worse the experience in terms of especially input 193 00:14:05,199 --> 00:14:11,279 latency. That would be really annoying then cuz bringing a PlayStation 194 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:16,240 somewhere is very hard. You can play from elsewhere, but the farther you are, 195 00:14:14,399 --> 00:14:19,360 the worse the internet connection. Why don't we shift our attention back to 196 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:24,000 consoles that are actually consoles rather than streaming devices? These are 197 00:14:21,279 --> 00:14:29,199 our last two. We've got the IO3, which unfortunately didn't perform as well as 198 00:14:25,839 --> 00:14:31,279 we hoped, but has an OLED screen and 199 00:14:29,199 --> 00:14:34,639 this super cool modular interface where you can actually swap this around 200 00:14:33,199 --> 00:14:40,720 depending on what games you were playing and whether you want to be able to reach a D-pad or a joystick more easily. And 201 00:14:37,839 --> 00:14:46,160 same here for the ABXY and a touchpad. We've also got the MSI Claw, an 202 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:50,000 unexpected standout. This ended up being the best performing PC handheld in our 203 00:14:48,399 --> 00:14:53,760 roundup thanks to some recent driver tweaks from Intel. The fans are pretty 204 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:57,519 loud for this one. Uh, yeah. You haven't even fired anything up yet. That's 205 00:14:56,079 --> 00:15:03,480 Yikes. Oh, do you want to try out the modular interface? Yeah. There we go. 206 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,480 One click pop up. 207 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:10,800 That's pretty cool. Not going to lie. Now, is it in the 208 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:16,560 configuration that you'd prefer? Yeah. Okay. Uh, fire up a game. Those fans are 209 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:19,519 pretty loud. They really are. Oh, yeah. Trackpad's working. Okay. The trackpad. 210 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:23,519 It's definitely a trackpad. There's a joystick ABXY. So, you wouldn't be stuck 211 00:15:21,279 --> 00:15:28,320 with the trackpad if you didn't want it. Just needs more volume. 212 00:15:26,959 --> 00:15:32,000 There. Now, the fans aren't a problem, right? 213 00:15:30,079 --> 00:15:37,279 Yeah. But I would never play with them this loud. Okay, fine. Why don't we try 214 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:41,199 the claw? Does this one have a higher refresh rate 215 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:46,639 than the other ones? It's not higher than all the other ones, but it's 120 216 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:50,320 Hz, which is at the high end. And because it performs so well, you are 217 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:54,399 actually getting more benefit out of that higher refresh rate display. This 218 00:15:52,320 --> 00:16:02,199 is very smooth. It's a lot of performance. It's a chunky package, but 219 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:02,199 you get a big 8 in display and 220 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:09,839 reasonable fan noise. In terms of battery life, it's between the Ally and 221 00:16:06,959 --> 00:16:15,040 the Alli X, but closer to the Alli X, like an hour 40 in even a very high 222 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:20,800 performance profile. That's pretty good. It's pretty good, but what it isn't as 223 00:16:18,079 --> 00:16:24,240 good as is the Switch 2. Are you ready to try the Switch 2? Yeah, I want to see 224 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:30,000 how it compares to these. Still in the mix is the RGIX, the Legion Go, and the 225 00:16:27,519 --> 00:16:34,079 Claw. What do you like best and least about each of them? Okay, this one I 226 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:39,279 like the fast refresh rate and the big screen. So, the performance essentially 227 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:43,600 because all of these have 120 Hz plus displays, but this is the more 228 00:16:42,079 --> 00:16:47,199 performant of the three. What about the others? This one was battery life and 229 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:52,399 fast, and it's not as heavy as the really big ones. You don't get as big of 230 00:16:49,199 --> 00:16:55,519 a screen, but 231 00:16:52,399 --> 00:16:58,160 it's significantly more toable. 232 00:16:55,519 --> 00:17:05,199 And this one, I like the detachable Joy-Cons in this little mouse pad and 233 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:07,360 the big screen. But 234 00:17:05,199 --> 00:17:10,959 this is a funny thing. Even though the Switch 2, this is now your first time 235 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:15,520 holding it, I think, right? Yeah. Even though the Switch 2 is so slim compared 236 00:17:13,439 --> 00:17:20,319 to these, the same thickness as the original Switch and the Switch OLED, its 237 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:26,559 screen is among the largest that we've seen at 7.9 in. So, smaller than the 238 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:30,320 Legion Go, but just shy of the claw. 239 00:17:26,559 --> 00:17:32,320 Wow. It also has a 120 Hz display, and 240 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:35,360 it supports HDR, just like the Steam Deco LED. Yeah. Why don't you fire up 241 00:17:33,919 --> 00:17:42,480 Breath of the Wild cuz that's the game that you've been playing on the others. Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. Uh, yes. For 242 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:46,799 an extra $15 Canadian, you can upgrade Breath of the Wild to look better and 243 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:51,840 run better. Does it get any other bonus features? I think so, but like nothing 244 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:55,039 that's a huge deal. You get another save slot, I think, or something. I don't I 245 00:17:53,360 --> 00:17:58,799 don't know. The big ones are that it's prettier and that it runs better. I like 246 00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:03,039 that it's a lot bigger than the Switch other Switch. Yeah, it's especially nice 247 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:07,200 when you remove the Joy-Cons and you're using them in Joy-Con controller mode. 248 00:18:05,919 --> 00:18:13,520 Like, it's actually kind of usable. Also, this is sick. The JoyCons are 249 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:15,360 magnetic now. So, you just Wow, that's 250 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:18,960 way better. Do you want to hear any drawbacks yet or do you just want to 251 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:22,880 enjoy it first? Just enjoy it first. Okay, 252 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:25,120 that's fair. That's valid. Obviously, the interface is what you're familiar 253 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:32,880 with. So, if you want to adjust your brightness or volume or anything, uh, just Yep. Well, hold it. But sure. No. 254 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:35,919 What? You don't know about the Go back in the game. Go back in the game. Hold. 255 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:43,280 Here. There you go. Oh, I didn't even know you could do that on the other one. I've let 256 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:46,480 him down. It's not an OLED, but it is an 257 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:48,480 HDR display, and it is pretty gorgeous 258 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:53,840 from my limited time with it so far. Everything's way brighter and cleaner 259 00:18:50,799 --> 00:18:56,400 than the other. Sure is. Not only do 260 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:59,440 games run at a higher frame rate, but the screen is a higher resolution 261 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:04,400 compared to the original Switch as well. Do these JoyCons have as much drift as 262 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:08,320 the Switch One? We don't know yet. They might be okay, but they're not Hall 263 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:12,400 effect, so they might not be okay. Yeah, all of our JoyCons drift really bad. 264 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:17,640 Wow. This seems way better than the other one. 265 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,640 Wow. 266 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:28,039 It's way better than the other Switch. The quality is higher. Refresh rate's 267 00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:28,039 higher. The sound is so much better. 268 00:19:31,679 --> 00:19:39,200 That's so cool. Okay, these ones are so big. They're 269 00:19:36,559 --> 00:19:44,640 like actually the right size for my hands. And they're magnetic. That's 270 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:48,400 really, really cool. It's so smooth. 271 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:51,120 It's so much brighter, cleaner, faster 272 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:57,200 than this one. Well, yeah. And this is even the OLED. So, this has the benefit 273 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:59,120 of having arguably the better display. 274 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:04,320 But Nintendo didn't put in the work to implement HDR on this. So, 275 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:08,880 this is probably going to look better dayto-day. 276 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:12,880 Although, that contrast though, but the frame rate blows. 277 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:18,160 Yeah. So, you can really see the color saturation on the OLED, but you get the 278 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:21,120 peak brightness from HDR. If they do a switch to OLED, which they almost 279 00:20:19,679 --> 00:20:24,559 certainly will at some point, you would get the best of both worlds, but that 280 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:28,000 doesn't exist yet, and I'm not promising to buy you one of those. So, okay. Do 281 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:34,320 you want to play Mario Kart? Let's play Mario Kart. Oh, these are actually big on the Switch one. These are tiny and 282 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:40,640 they're so hard to press. Huge improvement, dude. I'm in 12th. This is 283 00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:42,400 terrible. There's an airplane, 284 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:47,919 dude. And there's like wave runners and stuff, too. It's pretty sick. There's 285 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:51,200 another curveball. What? Asus and 286 00:20:47,919 --> 00:20:53,760 Microsoft have partnered up allegedly on 287 00:20:51,200 --> 00:21:00,480 the Ally 2, turning it into an Xbox branded console. We expect that it will 288 00:20:57,120 --> 00:21:02,799 be everything the Ally X is, but better 289 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:07,039 and with integration with Xbox and Game Pass. So then, should I rule this one 290 00:21:04,799 --> 00:21:12,720 out? Um, why don't we have a look at the leaks together? Okay, there's leaks. 291 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:18,559 Employees just tell the worlds what secrets are being h being made. 292 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:27,200 I think I have sheltered him. Was it already going to be hard enough without any more curveballs? Yeah. Are you ready 293 00:21:22,159 --> 00:21:30,080 to eliminate anything from the table? 294 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:35,200 How will all I get all of them? What the? No. 295 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:39,679 Okay, I'll put this one back. Why'd you put that one back? I put it back cuz 296 00:21:37,120 --> 00:21:44,799 it's really heavy and would tire my arms quick. That's fair. Uh, that one also 297 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:46,880 has a worse battery life than this one. 298 00:21:44,799 --> 00:21:50,480 Yes, these two both have better battery life than that. This is the most 299 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:55,039 performant but with less battery life. And this is the best battery life out of 300 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:58,080 the PC handhelds. Yeah. Okay. Here's the 301 00:21:55,039 --> 00:22:00,400 Alli 2. Kind of like an Alli X, but you 302 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:05,520 can see it has more like a uh a controller style grip. We also expect 303 00:22:02,799 --> 00:22:09,039 that if the specs are what they are supposed to be, it will probably have 304 00:22:07,120 --> 00:22:13,679 the best performance out of all the PC handhelds and probably the best battery 305 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:17,600 life. But we don't know exactly how much. 306 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:23,440 Could some of these just not be true? And they're just lying. That is 307 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:26,760 possible, but don't ask me how I know. 308 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,760 They're true. 309 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:34,159 When is it going to come out? I'm flying 310 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:38,240 to see it tomorrow morning. Okay. So, should I just not get anything and get 311 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:43,360 that? You have to choose something. You walk out of here today with something 312 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:48,799 with a choice. Do I actually have to choose right now? 313 00:22:45,919 --> 00:22:54,640 Yeah. What? That's life. Well, no, that's not life. That's content. 314 00:22:51,919 --> 00:23:02,240 Here's our options. Big moment. Switch 2, Ally X, Claw, or Roll the Dice on an 315 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:06,640 Ally 2. How many new games are coming out for the Switch 2? Lots. It looks 316 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:10,559 like game developer support is going to be extremely strong. Plus, of course, 317 00:23:09,039 --> 00:23:14,320 there's the back catalog of Switch games. It is backwards compatible, and 318 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:17,840 you can count on Nintendo to release banger after banger. I'll pick the 319 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:23,039 Switch 2, then. You pick the Switch, too? Yeah. Okay. 320 00:23:21,360 --> 00:23:26,000 I ultimately chose the Switch 2 because of how many big games are supposed to 321 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:30,240 come out for it and that I can still play my Switch One games on the Switch 2 322 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:33,440 if I want. I do have a desktop and I can already play Steam games, but if I 323 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:38,720 didn't have one, I would probably choose one of the PCs to get access to all of 324 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:44,240 those. The games are really expensive, over hundred Canadians each, like for a 325 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:48,799 single game. Do I have to pay for the games? Unless 326 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:53,280 it's a game that I want to play. Does it have any games already on it? It has 327 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:57,000 Mario Kart World and you can play your existing Switch games. 328 00:23:59,039 --> 00:24:02,039 $100. 329 00:24:05,919 --> 00:24:14,320 Okay, sure. Yeah.
