1
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:14,559
the G155 mobility gaming station. Should

2
00:00:11,679 --> 00:00:21,279
you ever have the desire to travel with your Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 Slim, you

3
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:26,160
can get one of these and you can game on the go. I am have it all packed up

4
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:30,000
inside here and ready to demo, but I just want to show you guys the outside of this case. I did an unboxing already,

5
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:35,200
so you can check that out if you want to see it. But, uh, we'll just sort of

6
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:39,840
recap for the sake of anyone who hasn't already watched that video. So, on the

7
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:44,879
top, you've got your manufacturer logo, which is G A E M S. I guess it's meant

8
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:48,559
to be pronounced games, like as in spelled wrong, but still would be

9
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:54,480
pronounced games. Okay, so it's the G155. Okay. On this side, you find a

10
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:57,760
clip, which can have a shoulder strap attached to it by the look of things. It

11
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:01,840
could also have a lock attached to it, whichever you prefer. I don't think that's going to work as a shoulder

12
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:06,400
strap. Let's go with lock. So, you can lock the one side, you can lock the

13
00:01:04,559 --> 00:01:11,880
other side. Okay. On the bottom, you find three rubber nonslippy things. On

14
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:15,920
the bottom, you find more rubber non-slippiness. So, whether you put it

15
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:19,520
down this way or whether you put it down this way, it shouldn't slip and it

16
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:23,680
shouldn't fall over. Now, the unit was unstable when I put it on the table in

17
00:01:21,439 --> 00:01:27,040
my unboxing. But, see, look. Look how stable it is. Now, the reason is that

18
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:30,880
it's meant to have a game console loaded in it in addition to the LCD monitor

19
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:35,119
that's already in there. So, that's why it was leaning to one side quite easily

20
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:39,200
when it didn't have a console inside. So, I'm going to go ahead and put this

21
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:46,240
down. This is the game I'm going to run on it right here. Uncip both sides. Oh,

22
00:01:43,439 --> 00:01:52,159
yeah. The carrying piece. So, metal, robust rubber here, very

23
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:55,720
strong. All right, let's open this bad

24
00:01:52,159 --> 00:02:00,079
boy up. And inside we

25
00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:03,600
find our HD LCD monitor, including a

26
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:06,320
power button, volume control, brightness

27
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:11,200
up, brightness down, menu, and two headphone jacks, an HDMI input, and a

28
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,920
power input. This two headphone jacks thing is critical because you're

29
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:18,800
probably not going to be playing with like four players on something like this. But it'd be pretty cool if you

30
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:22,640
were traveling around and you had your your Xbox 360 and you could, you know,

31
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:29,440
plug in one pair of headphones to get your friend to plug in a pair of headphones and then you could use the

32
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:34,000
two controllers that can be stored in the little pouch on the side here. So,

33
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:40,160
I've got two Xbox 360 controllers there. You could also take out the power plugs,

34
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:45,599
which I'm going to go ahead and plug in. So, I'll need two. So, I'll go one

35
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:52,239
there. And then I'm going to pull out the Xbox Whoops. 360 power brick. And

36
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:55,360
I'm going go ahead and take that around there. So, this is the setup that you

37
00:02:53,680 --> 00:03:00,000
will have to do. The reality of it is you need to uh two power plugs and all

38
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:03,120
that in order to get the unit running. So, you know, hopefully you can live

39
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:08,720
with that. I'm going to have to unplug one of my lights in here. So, hopefully it's not too bad. Is it okay? Okay. All

40
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:12,000
right. So, that's what I had stored in there. Now, I wasn't able to find any

41
00:03:10,319 --> 00:03:17,519
additional room for games, but I guess you could probably get away with like one game here or something like that.

42
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:21,760
But, you can see how the Xbox 360 is strapped in. So, this pad on the bottom

43
00:03:19,599 --> 00:03:26,239
protects it. It's very, very soft. You can flip it over the other way for the

44
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:30,239
PS3 Slim or for the Xbox 360 slim. And then what you do is you take these

45
00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:36,080
straps, you strap in your console, and it is not going anywhere. So, I have it

46
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:41,200
plugged in. Let's go ahead and power it on. I've actually not yet turned this

47
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:48,560
thing on before. And I hope I have batteries in

48
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:48,560
my Xbox 360 controller. I do. All

49
00:03:49,799 --> 00:03:58,000
right. Okay. Give me a sec here, guys. I'll wait for it to boot up. Sorry about

50
00:03:54,080 --> 00:04:00,560
that, guys. Okay. So, we have the G155

51
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:05,159
gaming station. I've got it all set up and the Xbox 360 is booted up. And I

52
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:09,360
also have a helium balloon. So, I'm feeling pretty

53
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:13,599
lightheaded right about now. Oh, that's better. Okay. So, I just want to show

54
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:18,239
you guys basically how it works in terms of the viewing angle, in terms of any

55
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:22,160
sort of ghosting or motion blur that you're going to see on this particular

56
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:27,520
screen. So, uh I mean I think you pretty much got the point. Here's something

57
00:04:23,919 --> 00:04:29,120
that it bears noting. Uh, it's really

58
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:32,240
hard to move around once it's deployed because of the rubber grippy things on

59
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:37,040
the bottom, which is good. You don't want it to just sort of randomly move

60
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:40,880
around. But, um, all your ventilation holes at the back have ample room

61
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:45,600
between the back of the Xbox and the screen. Your ventilation holes here are

62
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:50,080
not Did I just do something? Oh, I just ejected the game. Whoops. Um, are not

63
00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:54,320
too obstructed by the straps. And then the ones on the bottom are also not that

64
00:04:51,919 --> 00:04:58,960
obstructed. So, your Xbox 360 shouldn't run into any more uh overheating

65
00:04:56,639 --> 00:05:02,320
problems than normal uh when you're using the

66
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:05,840
G155. Now, in terms of the speakers that we're equipped with here, I guess uh

67
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:10,400
give me a sec to get the game booted back up now that I now that I broke it,

68
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:15,199
and then we can uh we can listen to the speakers. So, just a sec. So, here's the

69
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:19,039
viewing angles, you guys. It is a TN panel, so it's not going to be perfect

70
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:23,680
by any stretch of the imagination. But I'm so far away at this point that uh

71
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:28,639
really realistically, you're not going to be playing with four people on something like this. So, if you got two

72
00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:31,759
people, you're sitting at a reasonable distance. You got kind of person one

73
00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:35,280
here, it's going to look about like that. And then you got person one here,

74
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:40,240
and it's going to look about like that. So, uh that's pretty much how it's going

75
00:05:37,759 --> 00:05:44,600
to go down. Now, in terms of the volume, let's go ahead

76
00:05:42,280 --> 00:05:48,800
and crank this up. I mean, I don't want you guys to

77
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,960
have unrealistic expectation. Okay, we're probably not going to crank that

78
00:05:49,919 --> 00:05:56,720
all the way up because it's getting pretty loud to be perfectly

79
00:05:53,960 --> 00:06:00,000
honest. So, go ahead and start the game. Continue

80
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:05,440
story. So, here, why don't I just kind of leave this here, and I'm going to go

81
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:09,440
ahead and adjust the screen. No, apparently I can't do that. Okay. So,

82
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:14,280
what I could do is I could put a game box

83
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:17,199
here and I could put that

84
00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:19,919
there. So, it is a glossy screen, so you are going to get a little bit of

85
00:06:18,319 --> 00:06:24,840
reflectiveness. So, I'm going to go ahead and kill the light that's right

86
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:27,440
behind it. And the other light. There we

87
00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:34,720
are. Hand to hand gives you the ability to execute. Okay. Whoops. Okay. I

88
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:36,639
haven't really used the Xbox much, so uh

89
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,880
I'm not an expert. Is it loading right now

90
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:45,360
or? There we

91
00:06:42,919 --> 00:06:48,560
go. Come on. Sooner we get this loaded up, the sooner we get it to the

92
00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:57,000
Americans at the airport. Sooner we do that, the sooner we get paid.

93
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:57,000
Oh, was that a guy? How we doing?

94
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:05,599
Yeah, no kidding. Any idea what's in the big box?

95
00:07:03,759 --> 00:07:10,889
Okay. Apparently, they didn't notice that.

96
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:21,160
I've actually never played a Splinter Cell game. A to jump. Oh, that one.

97
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,160
Okay, there we go.

98
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:28,070
Here we go. Left trigger to drop. Left.

99
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,319
Oh, wow.

100
00:07:29,319 --> 00:07:37,160
Cool. And they didn't notice that somehow. I think they're even facing

101
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,160
over there.

102
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:46,479
Okay. Well, the general point of that was that the speakers are pretty loud.

103
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:51,199
Definitely a satisfactory gaming experience. So, thank you for checking

104
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,520
out my uh first look and gameplay video

105
00:07:51,199 --> 00:07:57,039
with the G51 portable gaming station, and I hope

106
00:07:55,759 --> 00:08:03,599
you enjoyed it. Don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech Tips for more unboxings, reviews, and other computer

107
00:08:01,039 --> 00:08:03,599
videos.

108
00:08:04,639 --> 00:08:11,120
You know what? Just to give you guys some idea, it looks better in person than it looks on the camera. There's a

109
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:16,240
lot of reflectiveness that the camera's catching and that you really can't see

110
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:20,639
in person. I'd say this zone kind of right here is representative of how the

111
00:08:18,879 --> 00:08:26,639
screen actually looks. Because with that light behind me, it looks fine. Yeah,

112
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:31,120
it's just the lens is having the camera's having a hard time adjusting to

113
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:36,479
the uh the back lit screen. So, I'd say the color is sort of more like this than

114
00:08:34,560 --> 00:08:39,120
like this at all. This is This is more like it.
