i'm normally a guy who likes big old laptops big
fat you know i like big notebooks
and i'm not even gonna lie about it and so today is a little bit of a departure
from that because we're taking a look at the one netbook
one gx one although the one isn't on there i
thought it was a one gx1 but this just says the one gx this is a you know tiny portable
netbook type thing in the vein of netbooks
that have stopped existing largely although we have taken a look at
a lot of netbook-like devices uh from
gpd Linus has done that but today this is
from one netbook i think we this is the first product from them that we're taking a look at
and it's geared towards gaming i think because it's got these little
these controller doohickeys that basically makes it look like a switch so
like gpd has some models with like controls built onto the actual product itself
this one has like nintendo switch style
i'm trying to do the sound that they make when they go on
let's let's take a look at it let's open it up
do people come with knives
this is a kind of cool box light reflecting you ever seen that before
david absolutely has
oh it's blue oh god please okay thank
you oh i remember now i forgot why we're
doing this thing this was interesting to me because it
looks like alienware area 51 back do you see that
is there more
instructions do i need instructions um
yeah okay i'll figure all that out what's this though charger
oh the the usbc cable for charging has
uh braiding on it that's nice
there it is and a fairly sizable
wall wart although it's for a laptop i guess so
this thing is so cute it's just so it's
like chunky it's like perfectly chunky
why do i feel good just holding it oh prototype
so don't don't go thinking this is like some crazy uh crazy polished thing
i won't i won't uh get upset if some things are like a little bit a little
bit uh not not polished all the way what have
we got here we got some decent i o this is oh it looks like a micro HDMI
out two usb type-c ports one usb 3.0 type a
and a headphone jack thank you and a
sim card slot plus tf
is that flash storage as well
microsd right so you can expand your internal storage as well
okay let's open it up it's so tiny that
it can't it can't uh can't handle okay could i
type on this thing i'm actually surprised at how naturally
my fingers rest on the home roll with a
keyboard this small and wow they even managed
to include a function row
and extra key like like a two row thick
function row really apple really has no excuse for not including function keys
on the ipad magic keyboard there just wasn't room
look at this there's always room all right before we get into Windows and
start actually playing around with this thing i gotta tell you about our sponsor
vessy's new weekend shoe it's got a new style but it retains all their great
features it's waterproof sand proof and slush proof it's got everyday styles so you
can fit almost any occasion you're dressing for and it's 100 vegan so no animal
byproducts have been used in this thing go ahead and click the link below to reserve your pair for just five dollars
hey yeah it's got a fan eh you can hear that can i do this
oh it's got this little like mouse uh
nipple thing like it's kind of like the thinkpad thinkpad nipple but it's not soft it's hard
yes you can tap to click but it's also got these buttons so i guess i'll just
use those instead let's see what configuration we have here let's go to the
about your pc so that's the interesting thing it's got a it's got a trackpad but
i don't as far as i know there's no way to scroll so i have to like use this to
scroll or arrow keys nope that's not working
okay we got an Intel core i5 10 to
which i believe is a comet lake part at
one gigahertz with a boost well it says 1.3 gigahertz maybe that's
a customization that one netbook made and we're using integrated graphics so
this is like it's it's it's a gaming device but we're using
integrated graphics from a comet lake y
core i5 so it remains to be seen how well that's gonna perform
um we've got 16 gigs of RAM and i believe there's 512 gigs of storage if i
remember from seeing this thing so that's not bad that's not bad specs
i believe it is 1200 u.s
so that's not uh that's not cheap if you wanna
but i mean you know you're paying for a premium to get like at basically a mini
tiny alienware area 51m or is it we'll have to see we
got to play some we've got to play some games what andy so if you press fn and place
the thing you can scroll oh thanks andy function
and do that that's how you scroll so 16
gigs of RAM why would you need 16 gigs of RAM in a device like this
i guess if you connect a mouse and stuff you could actually use this for like
real work because the core i5 it's four cores eight threads so you can
actually get some stuff done potentially you know what i just want to hop right
into the games you can probably run rocket league that's for sure yeah i gotta say
typing on this thing is a little better than i expected
because it's you know i expect it to be bad because it's so small but like
the keys feel kind of nice the one thing that's annoying me right now is the fact
that the shift key on the left is normal size
and due to size constraints the shift key over here is
super super tiny so i by instinct i want to press that shift key but it's like no
i'm pressing the arrow key and the enter key at the same time i can say now confidently that if i was
getting a tiny if i wanted like a tiny compact
work machine it wouldn't look like this just
because this keyboard's so tiny i mean like maybe you can get one of
these and then get a separate keyboard but that kind of defeats the purpose of
having like you might as well just use your phone or something you know like
i don't know but uh
overall working uh the working situation
doesn't look promising with this hey steem where'd you go library okay
rocket league i'm gonna do rocket league probably install
while i'm waiting for rocket league to download let's look at the controllers so we've got some specs on the back
we've got uh bluetooth 4.0 2.4 gigahertz
it's got an independent vibrator so that's good for all those uh
independent people who don't need other people to help them use and it's
got an alps japanese rocker
rock on dude
interesting they feel really light and
wow those buttons i will say they're definitely more ergonomic than the
switch controllers i can't say that the button quality is
the same
so like switch you just kind of like slide on from the top
but this has you have to kind of like hook
hook these little doohickeys in there
did you hear that yeah oh man okay here we go
uh controller so i it looks like you kind of like put it up and then
lock it in all right
hello
oh i think i got it somehow so as i said
the controllers are ergonomic they feel good in the hand even if they do feel a
bit cheap i think it said that i'm not actually connected to controllers so i slid them
on oh power so do i hold that
add bluetooth device bluetooth
got a lot of unknown devices ah what
what i'm connected wait what
so it detects it as an xbox 360 controller here we go boys
finally let's play some
games i'm going to say you know what
we're going to we're going to challenge it and we're going to go at 1920x1080 yep we're going to see if you
can handle it it has the performance numbers up already and we are 14 FPS
in the menu okay we'll do 768 fine
and now we're up to 22 in the menu but that's still not great and it looks
horrible we are getting 20 frames per second oh
no oh no
this is not good this is not good
okay we're at 768 5x3 now
that's a native aspect ratio texture detail
let's put that all on performance i don't even know what
refresh rate this display is this is
pretty bad but it's a lot smoother now i also think
that there is latency from the controllers
wow
i saved it okay press
it's like hard for me to play this game
and that should not be the case because i'm really good at it
let's go 102 468 which is 4x3
let's give it an occlusion let's get rid of depth of field bloom light shaft lens
fares dynamic shadows motion blur okay let's see i basically we're basically at
like the lowest quality graphics settings right now okay
so that's a lot smoother i'm getting 45 FPS that's not bad at all
can i can i fly
not with this latency so maybe my gaming experience with this thing wasn't
uh didn't blow me out of the water but at the very least i could give them
props for making like a miniature version of the
alienware 50 uh area area 51m like that's that's kind
of cool i mean copyright potential infringement
aside in terms of practicality it's hard to
recommend i mean the thing has a quad core eight thread
CPU so it might be good if you like really need
a netbook for doing work on the go i don't know what the market is for that
i should mention that there is a version of this with eight gigs of RAM instead
of 16 and 256 gig of storage instead of 512 and with just wi-fi
instead of cellular but it's 950 in my experience using it
as an actual laptop it didn't seem to chug at all the gaming
the gaming is an issue rocket league is a game that should be
fairly easy to run and we are running on integrated graphics
the bigger problem than the graphics is
more the latency from the bluetooth controllers and i don't know whether they can fix
that in the next version one netbook says that there is another
version coming out this fall that's gonna have Intel tiger lake
mobile processors because Intel is supposed to be announcing those
in the next few weeks here or we think they are anyways they've announced events um so
maybe by that time the the next version of this will have a little bit more
polish uh but for now i think it's a uh
it's a nice little curiosity but
i'm gonna think i'm gonna stick with my switch
and i hope you stick with ShortCircuit and watch another video because there's
lots of them and if we have a good time too would you
guys say that they should subscribe yeah and if you're looking for another
video to watch maybe check out the gpd win max on LTT
the the you know the thing similar to this that Linus reviewed
because uh i don't know he seemed to like it right yeah
