00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:06.080
I wouldn't blame you for thinking does the world really need another handheld

00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:10.400
gaming PC at this point but the Zotac gaming Zone a prototype of which I'm

00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:14.839
holding right now has a pretty unique value proposition it's got a 7in screen

00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:21.080
runs at 1080p okay that's not that impressive

00:00:17.560 --> 00:00:23.400
but what is is that it runs at 120 HZ

00:00:21.080 --> 00:00:30.160
and is AMOLED with a peak brightness of 800 nits meaning that's right HDR Mobile

00:00:27.439 --> 00:00:35.879
gaming the only other system capable of at this time I believe is the steam deck

00:00:32.599 --> 00:00:37.520
OLED right I believe so we think so and

00:00:35.879 --> 00:00:41.879
there's a lot more going on here for starters both the joysticks and the

00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:46.600
triggers are hall effect out of the box so there's no need to upgrade and each

00:00:44.160 --> 00:00:51.320
of them has a pretty cool party trick on the joystick you're going to find a

00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:55.840
little dial here which Zotac says can be reprogrammed to do I don't know I guess

00:00:53.800 --> 00:01:01.199
anything you like adjust your screen brightness adjust the sensitivity of the

00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:03.440
stick that's pretty sick and just like

00:01:01.199 --> 00:01:08.159
we've seen on high-end controllers like the Xbox Elite series The triggers can

00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:12.200
be adjusted for either a long travel or a short travel depending on whether you

00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:14.759
need their analog functionality or you just want them to act as a button and

00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:21.640
while we're back here there's more to like we've got a couple of programmable rear buttons and look at that a little

00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:24.640
kickstand so cute is it adjustable

00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:26.880
though no luckily I can adjust to this

00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:31.640

00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:07.079
good news is at least it's pretty ergonomic in the hands there's a nice

00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:10.160
swep shape to the bottom here and the spiky bit doesn't end up digging into

00:02:08.720 --> 00:02:13.520
your palm like it does on the first generation Ally and since we're looking

00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:18.599
at the front there's a lot more to like here we've got a total of 1 two three

00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:22.800
four five buttons on the front some of which I believe can be remapped in their

00:02:20.440 --> 00:02:27.360
software once it comes we've got two touchpads which are for folks who want

00:02:24.760 --> 00:02:32.280
to play uh realtime strategy games for example and are considering something

00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:36.560
like an Ally and this is cool for the folks that are using these portable PCS

00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:40.120
as their daily driver machine and they need to I don't know conduct a zoom

00:02:38.480 --> 00:02:45.440
meeting or something like that it's got an integrated webcam that's flipping

00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:50.879
awesome you could like stream from this thing certainly has the horses for it

00:02:47.959 --> 00:02:55.800
did I mention it's using AMD's 8840 U processor so you're going to have a

00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:58.840
total of eight CPU cores and a 780m GPU

00:02:55.800 --> 00:03:02.080
it's got 16 gigs of lpddr 5x memory a

00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:03.920
512 gig SSD in the default configuration

00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:09.640
full length though so you could put in a much bigger one if you wanted to and has

00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:11.879
a 48.5 wat hour battery which means that

00:03:09.640 --> 00:03:16.319
it will be competitive with the Ally for battery life but probably not that

00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:20.400
competitive with the Ally x one thing that's really thoughtful though is the

00:03:18.040 --> 00:03:24.599
io up at the top we've got a fingerprint sensor enabled power button volume

00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:30.959
rocker headphone microphone combo Jack USB 4 Port love to see it and I love

00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:34.959
this another USB four port at the bottom alongside a Micro SD slot this is great

00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:38.280
I love having one at the top and one at the bottom because when I'm lying in bed

00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:42.720
I don't want to be plugged into the bottom and when I'm sitting like this I

00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:46.159
don't want to be plugged into the top I don't want to have that drag love to

00:03:44.640 --> 00:03:49.599
have the option there are some question marks for me on a crowded show floor I'm

00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:53.840
not going to be able to evaluate how loud the cooling is or how good the

00:03:51.560 --> 00:04:00.040
speaker sound but overall this seems like a very compelling little package

00:03:56.360 --> 00:04:02.799
wow that looks amazing

00:04:00.040 --> 00:04:08.280
oh okay definitely don't have the in-game settings tuned

00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:11.319
but man my

00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:15.840
friends look at the

00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:18.000
sky HDR is such a Difference Maker fli

00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:20.639
been awesome obviously I'm not going to be able to evaluate on the color

00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:25.720
accuracy of the screen in this environment and even things like the

00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:30.160
overall fit and finish and the clickiness of the d-pad although I do

00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:33.479
kind of like that click are not final this is still very much an engineering

00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:37.960
sample but it seems like they are well on their way to a pretty competitive

00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:42.199
looking device subscribe to ShortCircuit that's it video is over get out

00:04:39.840 --> 00:04:42.199
of here
