00:00:00,199 --> 00:00:07,359
I'm struggling a lot with this video why are we making it who could possibly care

2
00:00:04,359 --> 00:00:12,200
and why does this product exist this is

3
00:00:07,359 --> 00:00:14,799
the GPD win it is a Windows-based one of

4
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:18,039
those translators that all the Korean kids in class use to cheat on their

5
00:00:17,080 --> 00:00:22,840
spelling tests in theory it's a gaming device it

6
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:28,599
has a gam pad built in but it runs an Intel Cherry Trail processor with

7
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:34,480
onboard Graphics meaning is it capable of Gaming well there's really only one

8
00:00:30,759 --> 00:00:37,160
way to find out by watching this video

9
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:42,480
also you could just read discussion about it on Reddit but you're here at

10
00:00:39,160 --> 00:00:42,480
this video now you might as well keep

11
00:00:51,039 --> 00:00:58,320
going G fuel is the sugar-free Alternative Energy beverage to maintain

12
00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:02,960
focus and endurance over long days and gaming sessions save some money using

13
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:10,200
Code Linus at the link in the video description so let's start with what the

14
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:12,000
heck is this thing inside the Box you

15
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:18,400
get oh that's my Windows 10 key don't worry too much about that but you get

16
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:20,079
the GPD win you get uh some ripoff Apple

17
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:25,720
ear pods go ahead and take a look at those while I open up the other crap

18
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:26,960
that's in here you get a USB typc cable

19
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:33,680
there you go looks a little something like that you get a USB charger it's a 2

20
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:36,680
and 1/2 amp fun fact this thing will

21
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:39,600
lose charge during heavy use and by

22
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:43,479
heavy use I mean downloading games in Steam it will lose charge on a 2 Amp

23
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:47,880
device so you're going to want to use that puppy if you want to game for you

24
00:01:45,719 --> 00:01:53,079
know more than a few hours at a time on it and you get these instructions most

25
00:01:50,799 --> 00:01:56,439
of which are in English but not

26
00:01:57,079 --> 00:02:01,759
all on the other side they are okay so

27
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:06,920
let's have a look at what we're dealing with here we've got a air exhaust we've

28
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:11,120
got intake apparently they're both intakes

29
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:17,160
which is actually not how that works but sure GPD we've got a fan switch off low

30
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:21,920
and high I'd recommend high it's really not that loud it's right up to my mic

31
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:25,239
not that bad you got a couple of speaker ports here and then uh not a whole lot

32
00:02:23,879 --> 00:02:30,800
else going on around the bottom except oh look at that more ioe than the

33
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:35,319
MacBook how shocking so we've got a type-c connector that's for charging

34
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:41,000
we've got a mini HDMI we've got a Micro SD slot see that wasn't so hard look how

35
00:02:37,879 --> 00:02:43,000
thin that is apple look how thin that is

36
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:47,560
is that that hard to put on your device yeah I thought so all right we've got a

37
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:51,920
type a connector so that's USB 3 going by the color and a headset Jack so

38
00:02:49,519 --> 00:03:01,280
that's your microphone headphone combo Jack also yes my friends L1 R1 L2 and L1

39
00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:05,480
buttons because this is a freaking

40
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:08,080
gaming device sort of I guess let's go

41
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:12,319
ahead and uh oh no no how do I jump over him I don't remember anymore oh there we

42
00:03:09,799 --> 00:03:18,360
go that's right that's how Batman jumps look at that I running Batman Arkham

43
00:03:14,920 --> 00:03:21,239
Asylum at 39 frames per second and we're

44
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:24,760
dip down to 34 in a fight scene sometimes it goes all the way down to a

45
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:28,840
cinematic 24 but really it's not that bad so let's have a look at what they've

46
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:33,480
got over here they've got a d-pad they've got a couple of joysticks

47
00:03:30,799 --> 00:03:37,680
they've got an ABX wild check that out emulation much they've also got

48
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:40,840
PlayStation logos on the uh buttons there so you don't get confused when

49
00:03:39,159 --> 00:03:44,400
you're playing oh I don't know say for example Final Fantasy 7 and you're

50
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:47,760
trying to play on like a PC controller it's all like okay March along with the

51
00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:52,400
other guys in the band press X Plus triangle I'm like which one's X I've

52
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:56,400
never played on a PlayStation in my life uh what else we got here full keyboard

53
00:03:54,799 --> 00:04:00,000
as well as some auxiliary buttons here including start see I paused before you

54
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:04,879
hit me right there start select print screen L3 R3 volume up and volume down

55
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:10,959
dedicated buttons for that definitely thumbs up there an Xbox button and power

56
00:04:08,519 --> 00:04:16,359
but what are the capabilities like I mean I guess I just showed you

57
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:21,199
but it does more hold on so that's a surprisingly good gaming experience I

58
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:25,000
mean sure it's an older AAA title but the fact that it runs at all on

59
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:29,560
something this size is pretty darn impressive and even more so it's got a

60
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:33,919
6700 Milah battery which resulted in about about 20% of it being lost in the

61
00:04:32,479 --> 00:04:38,680
time that we were playing the game not too bad and not every game is going to

62
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:43,280
be as intensive as you know something like Batman Arkham Asylum so let's say

63
00:04:41,039 --> 00:04:48,000
you wanted to fire up the old emulator I'm actually pretty impressed again

64
00:04:45,759 --> 00:04:51,840
Orlando doesn't need healing anyway because he's like a badass but whatever

65
00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:57,639
check this out Final Fantasy Tactics running on ePSXe anywhere from 30 to 60

66
00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:03,360
FPS somewhere in that range which is frankly good enough for this compy of

67
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:09,120
experience that's right Auto potion you just did like 18

68
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:14,639
damage so gaming wise I'm actually pretty darn impressed so far it's got 64

69
00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:19,160
gigs of emmc storage 4 gigs of RAM meaning you've got a pretty decent spec

70
00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:23,680
computer in your hands so then of course you know the next step for me is what

71
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:30,160
about not gaming this is actually where it stood out to me even more because

72
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:32,160
you've got your D and X input mode for

73
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:37,400
the game pad then you've got this mouse mode in the middle that's actually

74
00:05:34,759 --> 00:05:41,440
surprisingly intuitive to use so the right stick becomes a mouse and remember

75
00:05:39,319 --> 00:05:45,120
you've also got a touchscreen so you're not like limited to just waiting for

76
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:49,440
this to move around as you you know browse forums or whatever else the case

77
00:05:47,039 --> 00:05:55,800
may be left and right click are handled by the shoulder buttons back

78
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:59,440
there and this left one here is now a

79
00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:01,680
scroll it is shockingly intuitive to use

80
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:06,800
and and actually very pleasant as long as you can you have decent Vision

81
00:06:03,919 --> 00:06:11,840
because text is not very big and given this is a 5 and A2 in 720p screen as

82
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:15,800
soon as you try to scale anything within Windows you're going to end up with a

83
00:06:13,319 --> 00:06:19,720
lot of usability problems like bringing up uh Windows that have all the buttons

84
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:25,160
cut off on the right and the bottom Which is far from my only complaint the

85
00:06:22,639 --> 00:06:30,120
wobble on the shoulder buttons in particular however quality the switches

86
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:35,319
under them might be is at the very borderline of what I would consider to

87
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:38,280
be intact let alone and acceptable and I

88
00:06:35,319 --> 00:06:42,120
ran into a very interesting bug maybe it's Unique to my unit but I kind of

89
00:06:40,319 --> 00:06:47,400
doubt it this is pre-production to be very very clear where while I'm plugged

90
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:51,000
in and charging I can't actually boot up the device I have to unplug boot it

91
00:06:49,199 --> 00:06:55,680
throw it back in and then I can use it while I charge practically speaking

92
00:06:53,720 --> 00:07:00,879
though none of that stuff really changes the usability of the device that much

93
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:04,000
and there are a shocking number of ways

94
00:07:00,879 --> 00:07:05,759
to use it so right now I've actually

95
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:09,680
mixed things up and I'm using steam and home streaming to stream this game off

96
00:07:08,199 --> 00:07:13,919
of a computer upstairs that's how I'm running rocket League at a solid 60

97
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:18,520
frames per second with no dips whatsoever at the highest quality pretty

98
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:23,160
freaking cool and made possible by the fact that they didn't cheap out on those

99
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:28,919
little things that you often see on Cheapo handheld devices like dualband

100
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:34,800
Wi-Fi and another interesting use case while I don't necessarily agree with the

101
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:37,720
optimism that GPD has about you know how

102
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:41,919
great it is as a productivity device is getting actual work done because the

103
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:46,639
team viewer experience is frankly not that great from a phone and being able

104
00:07:43,759 --> 00:07:50,280
to remote in and use a computer with a mouse and keyboard is a pretty

105
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:53,840
compelling use case one that my wife brought up almost immediately when she

106
00:07:51,919 --> 00:07:58,400
looked at it so I guess all that's really left then is the conclusion is it

107
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:05,159
worth the price of admission which is somewhere between 3 50 to

108
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:08,840
$400 for something that in essence is a

109
00:08:05,159 --> 00:08:11,840
fatter clunkier Nintendo DS that runs a

110
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:14,360
full Windows 10 operating system which

111
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:20,720
kind of blew my mind and the answer is I up to

112
00:08:17,319 --> 00:08:22,759
you personally I wouldn't buy one but

113
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:28,919
what this does make me excited for is the future of hyper mobile devices like

114
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:32,680
this when they get just a little bit more power like it's feels kind of like

115
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:36,719
the iPhone to me is it as revolutionary as the iPhone no to be very clear but

116
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:41,159
it's kind of like the iPhone to me where it's like hey there's this like great

117
00:08:38,839 --> 00:08:44,959
idea but like it's kind of not that great right now but stay tuned like five

118
00:08:42,959 --> 00:08:49,120
years from now it's going to be awesome that's what I feel this is

119
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:52,880
like let me know in the comments below if you agree or if you think I totally

120
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:57,200
missed the mark So if you're not familiar with mass drop they're a

121
00:08:54,920 --> 00:09:00,760
community where users discuss products they're interested in buying and then

122
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:04,920
Mass drops all like oo you guys want to buy that okay they go and talk to the

123
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:09,440
manufacturer they negotiate a bulk order at a discounted price and Bam all those

124
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:17,320
people get a lower price the manufacturer gets to sell a bunch of units and mass drop sits in the middle

125
00:09:14,399 --> 00:09:22,279
today's drop is the noble X they are made in the USA and they

126
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:26,959
offer a great sound signature with a midnight blue anodized face plate and a

127
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:32,560
detachable cable and they ship with two pairs of silicone ear tips two foam ear

128
00:09:29,399 --> 00:09:34,600
ear tips one pair of silicone ear tips

129
00:09:32,560 --> 00:09:39,399
presumably this will make sense visually a cleaning tool a carrying case and a

130
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:42,760
warranty from Noble audio I mean they got Noble right in the name what are the

131
00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:46,800
odds they don't honor it right now selling for

132
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:51,160
$249.99 with free domestic shipping in the US check that out at the link in the

133
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:54,240
video description so I think that pretty much wraps it up if you guys dislike

134
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:57,800
this video go ahead and hit that dislike button but if you liked it hit the like

135

pretty like me
