WEBVTT 00:00:02.240 --> 00:00:09.519 Happy birthday, son. Here is the Switch, 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 00:00:11.040 --> 00:00:17.680 making the biggest mistake of your young life. You see, there are a ton of 00:00:15.920 --> 00:00:21.840 amazing handheld gaming devices these days, and I think you should at least 00:00:19.680 --> 00:00:26.480 try them before making your decision. And the question will be, are you gonna 00:00:24.080 --> 00:00:30.800 stick with Nintendo's latest, or are you gonna take the plunge into the big boy 00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:36.160 pool, like because some of the PC competitors are really big, not because 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 00:00:38.160 --> 00:00:43.920 going to try eight different gaming handhelds today, and if you like one of 00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:47.600 them more than you like the Switch 2, you can take that home instead. But 00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:52.160 there's a catch. Should you choose something other than the Switch 2, I'm 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 00:00:54.239 --> 00:01:01.520 sponsor, SY. Make sure you stay connected on your next vacation or work 00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:06.640 trip with SY's eim plans available in over 200 destinations. You can get 15% 00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:11.159 off a plan by clicking our link and using code LTT at checkout. 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 00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:29.360 really the only console I I know about. The new Mario Kart sounds pretty fun. 00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:33.520 Also, the upgraded versions of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. The 00:01:31.119 --> 00:01:36.960 backwards compatibility is important because even though Mario Kart World 00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:40.640 might be better than Mario Kart 8, I might still want to play that sometimes. 00:01:38.960 --> 00:01:45.280 If I'm going to see my cousins, I'm bringing a handheld. Battery life would 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 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 00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:56.479 sure. You're going to get me to try eight consoles in an hour and decide 00:01:54.079 --> 00:02:01.520 between one of them. Yes. Let's start with the 800 lb gorilla, the Steam Deck. 00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:06.719 While it might not be the most powerful of our choices today, there is a reason 00:02:03.759 --> 00:02:12.000 that is the most popular. Steam OS is slick as heck, not to mention just plain 00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:16.640 more efficient than Windows. And Valve's understanding of gaming shines through 00:02:13.760 --> 00:02:22.319 in every aspect of its design. Its only drawback is that it has a limited game 00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:27.040 library. But that's only compared to Windows handhelds. Compared to Big Red, 00:02:24.640 --> 00:02:32.160 the SteamX game library is expansive, not to mention way more affordable 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 00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:38.800 couple of games preloaded, but the most important one is probably Split Fiction. 00:02:37.440 --> 00:02:42.480 Not because I think it'll be your favorite game ever, but because it is 00:02:40.720 --> 00:02:47.920 crossplatform and available on all of our systems. Any initial impressions? 00:02:44.720 --> 00:02:50.560 This mouse pad is so cool. Yeah, the 00:02:47.920 --> 00:02:54.160 dual trackpads on this thing actually very cool. You can use them for mouse 00:02:52.640 --> 00:02:58.959 aiming with some practice, and they have haptic feedback as you noticed already. 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 00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:06.080 feel them vibrate. They're very configurable. And if you want to play 00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:11.920 something like, you know, a strategy game on the go, they're useful for that 00:03:08.480 --> 00:03:15.760 as well. It's very big. 00:03:11.920 --> 00:03:17.680 Yes. Is that a problem? Depends if I'm 00:03:15.760 --> 00:03:22.000 like traveling somewhere and my suitcase is full. In terms of the ergonomic 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:26.800 advantages, a lot of people really like that about the Steam Deck, but no, it's 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 00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:35.840 hard to individually choose one rather than go diagonal. I don't think it's a 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 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 00:03:42.480 --> 00:03:49.680 is the operating system that Valve developed for the Steam Deck that only 00:03:46.799 --> 00:03:52.959 basically runs Steam. Okay, sure. You can use it in desktop mode with other 00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:57.920 applications, but it's actually Linux- based. It is not Windows or Nintendo. It 00:03:56.080 --> 00:04:03.519 is their own thing. So, you've got the Steam button here, which allows you to 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:06.080 access all of Steam. And 00:04:03.519 --> 00:04:11.200 this little three dots here gives you access to all of your system settings. 00:04:08.480 --> 00:04:15.439 That's very quick and useful. That I like that. Way better than the 00:04:13.200 --> 00:04:18.320 implementation on Windows handhelds. It also gives the Steam Deck excellent 00:04:16.799 --> 00:04:23.440 efficiency if you're running lighter games like David Diver. and it will 00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:28.240 instantly suspend and resume 00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:32.400 like something like a Nintendo rather than taking a while to boot up like 00:04:30.479 --> 00:04:35.360 Windows. There are drawbacks though. It's one of the least performant out of 00:04:34.080 --> 00:04:40.800 all the handhelds we're going to look at today and the screen honestly not 00:04:37.919 --> 00:04:48.000 amazing by today's standards. Of course, there is another. Meet the Steam Deck 00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:50.320 OLED. Is this the same as that one? 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 00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:58.160 an OLED display, and it is beautiful. 00:04:55.840 --> 00:05:03.440 1,000 nits peak brightness, perfect blacks, HDR. They've done an outstanding 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 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 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:16.560 show off just how much performance is on tap here, we actually loaded up The 00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:20.639 Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, a Nintendo exclusive game in an emulator, 00:05:18.960 --> 00:05:24.080 so you could try it and see what the experience is like. I would tap it. 00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:28.160 Realistically, I don't think it's going to be much laggier than the Switch One, 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 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. 00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:40.960 Gets really laggy when I hit it for a second. Yeah, but the battery life is 00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:46.560 even better than the original Steam Deck. Okay, why don't we move on? If 00:05:44.320 --> 00:05:50.400 more performance is what you're after, this may be your poison. This is the 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 00:05:51.919 --> 00:05:58.320 it. Okay, that's hacking. Hacking is not 00:05:56.320 --> 00:06:04.000 allowed. Back to the script. You may be familiar with this one. 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 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 00:06:10.400 --> 00:06:16.240 processor, a chip that is so much more powerful than the Steam Deck that it 00:06:14.400 --> 00:06:21.680 easily overcomes any of Windows's inefficiencies. Well, as long as we 00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:26.560 ignore battery life in lighter games and ignore the kind of cludgy general 00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:31.440 experience of navigating Windows on a handheld device, Microsoft has some work 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 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 00:06:37.840 --> 00:06:44.800 higher resolution compared to the Steam Deck, but it's not OLED, but it can do 00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:46.560 up to 120 Hz. So, for supported games, 00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:52.560 it'll be smoother, kind of like your monitor at home. Oh, also the interface 00:06:48.880 --> 00:06:54.400 for changing things right there. So, you 00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:57.440 can adjust your brightness, uh, change your performance mode. You won't get 00:06:56.080 --> 00:07:03.199 much battery life out of the higher performance modes, but uh hey, it's 00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:04.479 really fast. Okay, let's try turbo. 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 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 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 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 00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:29.680 heavier. Not by that much though when you consider that it went from a 40watth 00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:31.520 battery to an 80Wh battery. They 00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:36.800 literally doubled the capacity of the battery which results in at least 2 00:07:34.479 --> 00:07:42.240 hours of battery life even in the higher performance modes and as much as a lot 00:07:39.919 --> 00:07:46.880 more hours. Is this one just the same as the other one with higher battery life? 00:07:44.479 --> 00:07:50.720 In general, yes. Uh oh, we actually made a small mistake on the RAM speed. So, 00:07:49.440 --> 00:07:55.680 they increased the speed of the memory from 6,400 mega transfers per second to 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 00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:05.280 little bit more memory, but in general, it's same same but better. This one's 00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:09.599 way smoother and higher FPS than the other one we played Breath of the Wild 00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:12.080 on. Yes, it's also in the highest mode, 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 00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:21.120 battery that you can actually run it in the highest power mode for an amount of 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 00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:29.919 playing. It does a little bit. Emulation is not going to be perfect unless you 00:08:27.039 --> 00:08:36.560 have an extremely powerful system. And this is a fast handheld, but it's not an 00:08:33.680 --> 00:08:42.320 extremely powerful system even. So, okay. But why? I don't know. I was just 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 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 00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:54.880 going to make you a better gamer. Now, there are some things about the Ally X 00:08:52.959 --> 00:08:59.440 that aren't great. It still has the same display as the original Ally, which is 00:08:56.959 --> 00:09:03.120 fine, and it's significantly more expensive, but given you're not paying 00:09:01.839 --> 00:09:07.360 for your system, I guess that's a non-factor for you. Where does this rank 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 00:09:08.800 --> 00:09:15.120 performance of this with the removable controllers of the Switch? That would be 00:09:13.040 --> 00:09:21.680 even better. Let's have a look. This time for real. She is a chunky boy. 00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:27.440 That's very heavy compared to all the other ones. The benefit is this is the 00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:29.600 biggest screen we've seen yet. 8.8 in 00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:36.720 and the highest resolution. It does 1440p up to 144 hertz. Small drawback. 00:09:34.800 --> 00:09:41.440 Remember the battery life issues of the first gen Ally? Yeah, basically the 00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:45.760 same. How long would it last for in its highest performance mode? Uh, a little 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 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 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, 00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:04.640 yes, slides off the controllers. 00:10:00.640 --> 00:10:06.320 There we go. And this is cool. 00:10:04.640 --> 00:10:10.000 Boop. That's a pretty cool use case, right? That's awesome. Especially cuz 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 00:10:13.680 --> 00:10:20.720 Raider? The buttons are really small compared to some of the other ones, 00:10:17.920 --> 00:10:24.800 though. It's not my favorite controller. But one nice thing is that on at least 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 00:10:27.680 --> 00:10:33.839 why I'm here for the tech tips. Papa 00:10:30.880 --> 00:10:37.440 tech tips. At this point, seeing all the options 00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:41.120 that are out there, are you a little less confident that you want to switch 00:10:38.800 --> 00:10:45.680 to for your birthday, or are you still pretty confident? A little bit. These 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 00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:54.880 device. This is just a gorgeous game that even a few short years ago, you 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, 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 00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:07.839 handheld. Okay. How does it feel? It's 00:11:04.640 --> 00:11:09.920 very heavy. If I was to hold this for 00:11:07.839 --> 00:11:17.320 half an hour, an hour, I think my arms would get pretty tired. It does have 00:11:12.160 --> 00:11:17.320 another party trick. Check this out. 00:11:17.680 --> 00:11:25.120 Oh, FPS mode. 00:11:22.560 --> 00:11:30.480 That becomes a mouse. But that's something. That's their 00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:35.760 overlay. So, you can see performance and you can change your modes and all that. 00:11:32.640 --> 00:11:37.519 This menu is laggier than the game is. 00:11:35.760 --> 00:11:45.959 Okay, that's fair. I would like to change gears completely and go from our 00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:45.959 heaviest device to our lightest one. 00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:54.320 Can I get a longer time trying every single one of them before deciding? 00:11:50.800 --> 00:11:55.600 No. Do I actually have to decide today? 00:11:54.320 --> 00:12:01.440 Yeah, but you thought I was like giving you a different answer on camera than I 00:11:57.680 --> 00:12:05.200 don't know. It's I'm choosing a console. 00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:08.240 Yeah. Meet the PlayStation Portal. This 00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:10.399 is not actually a console, but the combo 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 00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:20.560 actually less than some of the handheld PCs that we've looked at today. The 00:12:18.880 --> 00:12:26.399 joystick's not in a very comfortable position. That's PlayStation style. You 00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:29.360 do get used to it, but yes, it is not my preference either, the symmetrical 00:12:28.079 --> 00:12:34.320 joystick position versus the asymmetrical Xbox style. I'm also not a 00:12:31.839 --> 00:12:38.079 huge fan of their D-pad style, but they do have advantages in their controller, 00:12:35.920 --> 00:12:42.720 and one is that their haptics are excellent. Also, this is compared to 00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:48.720 anything else we're looking at today, the most powerful gaming solution. It's 00:12:45.680 --> 00:12:51.120 only 1080p, but it is a locked 60fps 00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:55.600 with absolutely gorgeous levels of detail. It's also the least flexible 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 00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:01.639 one's B? 00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:09.600 Not really a PlayStation house. Never seen a PlayStation. I don't Do any of 00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:15.200 your friends have PlayStations? One of them does. Oh, okay. Have you ever used 00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:16.800 it? No. Okay. Well, it doesn't have AB. 00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:21.440 Well, which one confirms and which one goes? Can't remember. Okay. Look at the 00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:27.440 visual fidelity, though. Okay. you haven't actually tried the Switch 2 yet, 00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:30.079 but here it is. Like, look at the detail 00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:35.760 level by comparison. Another great thing about the Portal is Sony's amazing game 00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:38.160 library. But here's the thing. While 00:13:35.760 --> 00:13:42.240 this has the best battery life, also out of anything that we've tested, the 00:13:39.760 --> 00:13:48.800 reason is that there's no game console in it. It is streaming wirelessly from 00:13:45.760 --> 00:13:51.519 that PlayStation over there, which means 00:13:48.800 --> 00:13:55.519 I need a PlayStation. Yes, not only do you need a PlayStation, but you need an 00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:58.959 active internet connection to your PlayStation. And the closer you are to 00:13:57.600 --> 00:14:02.639 your PlayStation, the better the experience. And the farther you are from 00:14:00.959 --> 00:14:07.440 your PlayStation, the worse the experience in terms of especially input 00:14:05.199 --> 00:14:11.279 latency. That would be really annoying then cuz bringing a PlayStation 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:16.240 somewhere is very hard. You can play from elsewhere, but the farther you are, 00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:19.360 the worse the internet connection. Why don't we shift our attention back to 00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:24.000 consoles that are actually consoles rather than streaming devices? These are 00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:29.199 our last two. We've got the IO3, which unfortunately didn't perform as well as 00:14:25.839 --> 00:14:31.279 we hoped, but has an OLED screen and 00:14:29.199 --> 00:14:34.639 this super cool modular interface where you can actually swap this around 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 00:14:37.839 --> 00:14:46.160 same here for the ABXY and a touchpad. We've also got the MSI Claw, an 00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:50.000 unexpected standout. This ended up being the best performing PC handheld in our 00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:53.760 roundup thanks to some recent driver tweaks from Intel. The fans are pretty 00:14:51.920 --> 00:14:57.519 loud for this one. Uh, yeah. You haven't even fired anything up yet. That's 00:14:56.079 --> 00:15:03.480 Yikes. Oh, do you want to try out the modular interface? Yeah. There we go. 00:14:59.680 --> 00:15:03.480 One click pop up. 00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:10.800 That's pretty cool. Not going to lie. Now, is it in the 00:15:09.040 --> 00:15:16.560 configuration that you'd prefer? Yeah. Okay. Uh, fire up a game. Those fans are 00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:19.519 pretty loud. They really are. Oh, yeah. Trackpad's working. Okay. The trackpad. 00:15:17.920 --> 00:15:23.519 It's definitely a trackpad. There's a joystick ABXY. So, you wouldn't be stuck 00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:28.320 with the trackpad if you didn't want it. Just needs more volume. 00:15:26.959 --> 00:15:32.000 There. Now, the fans aren't a problem, right? 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 00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:41.199 the claw? Does this one have a higher refresh rate 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 00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:50.320 Hz, which is at the high end. And because it performs so well, you are 00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:54.399 actually getting more benefit out of that higher refresh rate display. This 00:15:52.320 --> 00:16:02.199 is very smooth. It's a lot of performance. It's a chunky package, but 00:15:57.120 --> 00:16:02.199 you get a big 8 in display and 00:16:02.560 --> 00:16:09.839 reasonable fan noise. In terms of battery life, it's between the Ally and 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 00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:20.800 performance profile. That's pretty good. It's pretty good, but what it isn't as 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 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 00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:34.079 Claw. What do you like best and least about each of them? Okay, this one I 00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:39.279 like the fast refresh rate and the big screen. So, the performance essentially 00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:43.600 because all of these have 120 Hz plus displays, but this is the more 00:16:42.079 --> 00:16:47.199 performant of the three. What about the others? This one was battery life and 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 00:16:49.199 --> 00:16:55.519 a screen, but 00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:58.160 it's significantly more toable. 00:16:55.519 --> 00:17:05.199 And this one, I like the detachable Joy-Cons in this little mouse pad and 00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:07.360 the big screen. But 00:17:05.199 --> 00:17:10.959 this is a funny thing. Even though the Switch 2, this is now your first time 00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:15.520 holding it, I think, right? Yeah. Even though the Switch 2 is so slim compared 00:17:13.439 --> 00:17:20.319 to these, the same thickness as the original Switch and the Switch OLED, its 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 00:17:23.280 --> 00:17:30.320 Legion Go, but just shy of the claw. 00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:32.320 Wow. It also has a 120 Hz display, and 00:17:30.320 --> 00:17:35.360 it supports HDR, just like the Steam Deco LED. Yeah. Why don't you fire up 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 00:17:39.600 --> 00:17:46.799 an extra $15 Canadian, you can upgrade Breath of the Wild to look better and 00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:51.840 run better. Does it get any other bonus features? I think so, but like nothing 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 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 00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:03.039 that it's a lot bigger than the Switch other Switch. Yeah, it's especially nice 00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:07.200 when you remove the Joy-Cons and you're using them in Joy-Con controller mode. 00:18:05.919 --> 00:18:13.520 Like, it's actually kind of usable. Also, this is sick. The JoyCons are 00:18:09.840 --> 00:18:15.360 magnetic now. So, you just Wow, that's 00:18:13.520 --> 00:18:18.960 way better. Do you want to hear any drawbacks yet or do you just want to 00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:22.880 enjoy it first? Just enjoy it first. Okay, 00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:25.120 that's fair. That's valid. Obviously, the interface is what you're familiar 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. 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. 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 00:18:39.760 --> 00:18:46.480 him down. It's not an OLED, but it is an 00:18:43.280 --> 00:18:48.480 HDR display, and it is pretty gorgeous 00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:53.840 from my limited time with it so far. Everything's way brighter and cleaner 00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:56.400 than the other. Sure is. Not only do 00:18:53.840 --> 00:18:59.440 games run at a higher frame rate, but the screen is a higher resolution 00:18:57.840 --> 00:19:04.400 compared to the original Switch as well. Do these JoyCons have as much drift as 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 00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:12.400 effect, so they might not be okay. Yeah, all of our JoyCons drift really bad. 00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:17.640 Wow. This seems way better than the other one. 00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:17.640 Wow. 00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:28.039 It's way better than the other Switch. The quality is higher. Refresh rate's 00:19:23.120 --> 00:19:28.039 higher. The sound is so much better. 00:19:31.679 --> 00:19:39.200 That's so cool. Okay, these ones are so big. They're 00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:44.640 like actually the right size for my hands. And they're magnetic. That's 00:19:41.520 --> 00:19:48.400 really, really cool. It's so smooth. 00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:51.120 It's so much brighter, cleaner, faster 00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:57.200 than this one. Well, yeah. And this is even the OLED. So, this has the benefit 00:19:53.760 --> 00:19:59.120 of having arguably the better display. 00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:04.320 But Nintendo didn't put in the work to implement HDR on this. So, 00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:08.880 this is probably going to look better dayto-day. 00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:12.880 Although, that contrast though, but the frame rate blows. 00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:18.160 Yeah. So, you can really see the color saturation on the OLED, but you get the 00:20:15.520 --> 00:20:21.120 peak brightness from HDR. If they do a switch to OLED, which they almost 00:20:19.679 --> 00:20:24.559 certainly will at some point, you would get the best of both worlds, but that 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 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 00:20:31.600 --> 00:20:40.640 they're so hard to press. Huge improvement, dude. I'm in 12th. This is 00:20:37.120 --> 00:20:42.400 terrible. There's an airplane, 00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:47.919 dude. And there's like wave runners and stuff, too. It's pretty sick. There's 00:20:44.080 --> 00:20:51.200 another curveball. What? Asus and 00:20:47.919 --> 00:20:53.760 Microsoft have partnered up allegedly on 00:20:51.200 --> 00:21:00.480 the Ally 2, turning it into an Xbox branded console. We expect that it will 00:20:57.120 --> 00:21:02.799 be everything the Ally X is, but better 00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:07.039 and with integration with Xbox and Game Pass. So then, should I rule this one 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. 00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:18.559 Employees just tell the worlds what secrets are being h being made. 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 00:21:22.159 --> 00:21:30.080 to eliminate anything from the table? 00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:35.200 How will all I get all of them? What the? No. 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 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 00:21:41.600 --> 00:21:46.880 has a worse battery life than this one. 00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:50.480 Yes, these two both have better battery life than that. This is the most 00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:55.039 performant but with less battery life. And this is the best battery life out of 00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:58.080 the PC handhelds. Yeah. Okay. Here's the 00:21:55.039 --> 00:22:00.400 Alli 2. Kind of like an Alli X, but you 00:21:58.080 --> 00:22:05.520 can see it has more like a uh a controller style grip. We also expect 00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:09.039 that if the specs are what they are supposed to be, it will probably have 00:22:07.120 --> 00:22:13.679 the best performance out of all the PC handhelds and probably the best battery 00:22:11.280 --> 00:22:17.600 life. But we don't know exactly how much. 00:22:15.280 --> 00:22:23.440 Could some of these just not be true? And they're just lying. That is 00:22:20.320 --> 00:22:26.760 possible, but don't ask me how I know. 00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:26.760 They're true. 00:22:28.720 --> 00:22:34.159 When is it going to come out? I'm flying 00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:38.240 to see it tomorrow morning. Okay. So, should I just not get anything and get 00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:43.360 that? You have to choose something. You walk out of here today with something 00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:48.799 with a choice. Do I actually have to choose right now? 00:22:45.919 --> 00:22:54.640 Yeah. What? That's life. Well, no, that's not life. That's content. 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 00:22:59.520 --> 00:23:06.640 Ally 2. How many new games are coming out for the Switch 2? Lots. It looks 00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:10.559 like game developer support is going to be extremely strong. Plus, of course, 00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:14.320 there's the back catalog of Switch games. It is backwards compatible, and 00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:17.840 you can count on Nintendo to release banger after banger. I'll pick the 00:23:16.080 --> 00:23:23.039 Switch 2, then. You pick the Switch, too? Yeah. Okay. 00:23:21.360 --> 00:23:26.000 I ultimately chose the Switch 2 because of how many big games are supposed to 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 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 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 00:23:35.840 --> 00:23:44.240 those. The games are really expensive, over hundred Canadians each, like for a 00:23:42.320 --> 00:23:48.799 single game. Do I have to pay for the games? Unless 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 00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:57.000 Mario Kart World and you can play your existing Switch games. 00:23:59.039 --> 00:24:02.039 $100. 00:24:05.919 --> 00:24:14.320 Okay, sure. Yeah. Happy birthday. Thanks. And happy birthday to our 00:24:11.760 --> 00:24:18.960 sponsor. What? What? Rocket money. How much do 00:24:17.679 --> 00:24:22.799 you think you're spending on subscriptions?

Boy, the answer doesn't change when the camera turns off. Oh, I 00:25:24.559 --> 00:25:31.200 don't know off camera. Can I just like have two of them? No. 00:25:28.480 --> 00:25:34.400 Do I have to decide today? Yeah. Uh, okay.
