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

00:00:04.359 --> 00:00:12.200
and why does this product exist this is

00:00:07.359 --> 00:00:14.799
the GPD win it is a Windows-based one of

00:00:12.200 --> 00:00:18.039
those translators that all the Korean kids in class use to cheat on their

00:00:17.080 --> 00:00:22.840
spelling tests in theory it's a gaming device it

00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:28.599
has a gam pad built in but it runs an Intel Cherry Trail processor with

00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:34.480
onboard Graphics meaning is it capable of Gaming well there's really only one

00:00:30.759 --> 00:00:37.160
way to find out by watching this video

00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:42.480
also you could just read discussion about it on Reddit but you're here at

00:00:39.160 --> 00:00:42.480
this video now you might as well keep

00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:58.320
going G fuel is the sugar-free Alternative Energy beverage to maintain

00:00:55.960 --> 00:01:02.960
focus and endurance over long days and gaming sessions save some money using

00:01:00.680 --> 00:01:10.200
Code Linus at the link in the video description so let's start with what the

00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:12.000
heck is this thing inside the Box you

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

00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:20.079
the GPD win you get uh some ripoff Apple

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

00:01:21.720 --> 00:01:26.960
that's in here you get a USB typc cable

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

00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:36.680
and 1/2 amp fun fact this thing will

00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:39.600
lose charge during heavy use and by

00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:43.479
heavy use I mean downloading games in Steam it will lose charge on a 2 Amp

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

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

00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:56.439
of which are in English but not

00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:01.759
all on the other side they are okay so

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

00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:11.120
got intake apparently they're both intakes

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

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

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

00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:30.800
else going on around the bottom except oh look at that more ioe than the

00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:35.319
MacBook how shocking so we've got a type-c connector that's for charging

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

00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:43.000
thin that is apple look how thin that is

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

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

00:02:49.519 --> 00:03:01.280
that's your microphone headphone combo Jack also yes my friends L1 R1 L2 and L1

00:02:57.920 --> 00:03:05.480
buttons because this is a freaking

00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:08.080
gaming device sort of I guess let's go

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

00:03:09.799 --> 00:03:18.360
go that's right that's how Batman jumps look at that I running Batman Arkham

00:03:14.920 --> 00:03:21.239
Asylum at 39 frames per second and we're

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

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

00:03:26.440 --> 00:03:33.480
got over here they've got a d-pad they've got a couple of joysticks

00:03:30.799 --> 00:03:37.680
they've got an ABX wild check that out emulation much they've also got

00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:40.840
PlayStation logos on the uh buttons there so you don't get confused when

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

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

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

00:03:49.920 --> 00:03:56.400
never played on a PlayStation in my life uh what else we got here full keyboard

00:03:54.799 --> 00:04:00.000
as well as some auxiliary buttons here including start see I paused before you

00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:04.879
hit me right there start select print screen L3 R3 volume up and volume down

00:04:03.200 --> 00:04:10.959
dedicated buttons for that definitely thumbs up there an Xbox button and power

00:04:08.519 --> 00:04:16.359
but what are the capabilities like I mean I guess I just showed you

00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:21.199
but it does more hold on so that's a surprisingly good gaming experience I

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

00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:29.560
something this size is pretty darn impressive and even more so it's got a

00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:33.919
6700 Milah battery which resulted in about about 20% of it being lost in the

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

00:04:36.080 --> 00:04:43.280
be as intensive as you know something like Batman Arkham Asylum so let's say

00:04:41.039 --> 00:04:48.000
you wanted to fire up the old emulator I'm actually pretty impressed again

00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:51.840
Orlando doesn't need healing anyway because he's like a badass but whatever

00:04:50.280 --> 00:04:57.639
check this out Final Fantasy Tactics running on ePSXe anywhere from 30 to 60

00:04:55.360 --> 00:05:03.360
FPS somewhere in that range which is frankly good enough for this compy of

00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:09.120
experience that's right Auto potion you just did like 18

00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:14.639
damage so gaming wise I'm actually pretty darn impressed so far it's got 64

00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:19.160
gigs of emmc storage 4 gigs of RAM meaning you've got a pretty decent spec

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

00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:30.160
about not gaming this is actually where it stood out to me even more because

00:05:26.440 --> 00:05:32.160
you've got your D and X input mode for

00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:37.400
the game pad then you've got this mouse mode in the middle that's actually

00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:41.440
surprisingly intuitive to use so the right stick becomes a mouse and remember

00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:45.120
you've also got a touchscreen so you're not like limited to just waiting for

00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:49.440
this to move around as you you know browse forums or whatever else the case

00:05:47.039 --> 00:05:55.800
may be left and right click are handled by the shoulder buttons back

00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:59.440
there and this left one here is now a

00:05:55.800 --> 00:06:01.680
scroll it is shockingly intuitive to use

00:05:59.440 --> 00:06:06.800
and and actually very pleasant as long as you can you have decent Vision

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

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

00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:19.720
lot of usability problems like bringing up uh Windows that have all the buttons

00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:25.160
cut off on the right and the bottom Which is far from my only complaint the

00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:30.120
wobble on the shoulder buttons in particular however quality the switches

00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:35.319
under them might be is at the very borderline of what I would consider to

00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:38.280
be intact let alone and acceptable and I

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

00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:47.400
doubt it this is pre-production to be very very clear where while I'm plugged

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

00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:55.680
throw it back in and then I can use it while I charge practically speaking

00:06:53.720 --> 00:07:00.879
though none of that stuff really changes the usability of the device that much

00:06:57.440 --> 00:07:04.000
and there are a shocking number of ways

00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:05.759
to use it so right now I've actually

00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:09.680
mixed things up and I'm using steam and home streaming to stream this game off

00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:13.919
of a computer upstairs that's how I'm running rocket League at a solid 60

00:07:11.960 --> 00:07:18.520
frames per second with no dips whatsoever at the highest quality pretty

00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:23.160
freaking cool and made possible by the fact that they didn't cheap out on those

00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:28.919
little things that you often see on Cheapo handheld devices like dualband

00:07:25.960 --> 00:07:34.800
Wi-Fi and another interesting use case while I don't necessarily agree with the

00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:37.720
optimism that GPD has about you know how

00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:41.919
great it is as a productivity device is getting actual work done because the

00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:46.639
team viewer experience is frankly not that great from a phone and being able

00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:50.280
to remote in and use a computer with a mouse and keyboard is a pretty

00:07:48.840 --> 00:07:53.840
compelling use case one that my wife brought up almost immediately when she

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

00:07:56.400 --> 00:08:05.159
worth the price of admission which is somewhere between 3 50 to

00:08:01.400 --> 00:08:08.840
$400 for something that in essence is a

00:08:05.159 --> 00:08:11.840
fatter clunkier Nintendo DS that runs a

00:08:08.840 --> 00:08:14.360
full Windows 10 operating system which

00:08:11.840 --> 00:08:20.720
kind of blew my mind and the answer is I up to

00:08:17.319 --> 00:08:22.759
you personally I wouldn't buy one but

00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:28.919
what this does make me excited for is the future of hyper mobile devices like

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

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

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

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

00:08:42.959 --> 00:08:49.120
years from now it's going to be awesome that's what I feel this is

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

00:08:50.920 --> 00:08:57.200
missed the mark So if you're not familiar with mass drop they're a

00:08:54.920 --> 00:09:00.760
community where users discuss products they're interested in buying and then

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

00:09:02.800 --> 00:09:09.440
manufacturer they negotiate a bulk order at a discounted price and Bam all those

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

00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:22.279
today's drop is the noble X they are made in the USA and they

00:09:20.040 --> 00:09:26.959
offer a great sound signature with a midnight blue anodized face plate and a

00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:32.560
detachable cable and they ship with two pairs of silicone ear tips two foam ear

00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:34.600
ear tips one pair of silicone ear tips

00:09:32.560 --> 00:09:39.399
presumably this will make sense visually a cleaning tool a carrying case and a

00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:42.760
warranty from Noble audio I mean they got Noble right in the name what are the

00:09:40.680 --> 00:09:46.800
odds they don't honor it right now selling for

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

00:09:49.040 --> 00:09:54.240
video description so I think that pretty much wraps it up if you guys dislike

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

00:09:56.040 --> 00:10:01.880
button get subscribed maybe even consider checking out the where toy Link

00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:05.640
in the video description for the stuff we featured today also linked in the

00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:10.959
video description is our merch store which you can buy a cool which you can buy a cool shirt where you can buy a

00:10:08.680 --> 00:10:15.079
cool shirt like this one and our community Forum which you should totally

have a thing there it'll be

00:10:20.880 --> 00:10:25.120
pretty like me
