WEBVTT

00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:14.559
the G155 mobility gaming station. Should

00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:21.279
you ever have the desire to travel with your Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 Slim, you

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

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,

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

00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:39.840
recap for the sake of anyone who hasn't already watched that video. So, on the

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

00:00:42.480 --> 00:00:48.559
to be pronounced games, like as in spelled wrong, but still would be

00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:54.480
pronounced games. Okay, so it's the G155. Okay. On this side, you find a

00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:57.760
clip, which can have a shoulder strap attached to it by the look of things. It

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

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

00:01:04.559 --> 00:01:11.880
other side. Okay. On the bottom, you find three rubber nonslippy things. On

00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:15.920
the bottom, you find more rubber non-slippiness. So, whether you put it

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

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

00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:27.040
my unboxing. But, see, look. Look how stable it is. Now, the reason is that

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

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

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

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,

00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:52.159
yeah. The carrying piece. So, metal, robust rubber here, very

00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:55.720
strong. All right, let's open this bad

00:01:52.159 --> 00:02:00.079
boy up. And inside we

00:01:55.720 --> 00:02:03.600
find our HD LCD monitor, including a

00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:06.320
power button, volume control, brightness

00:02:03.600 --> 00:02:11.200
up, brightness down, menu, and two headphone jacks, an HDMI input, and a

00:02:09.200 --> 00:02:13.920
power input. This two headphone jacks thing is critical because you're

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

00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:22.640
were traveling around and you had your your Xbox 360 and you could, you know,

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

00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:34.000
two controllers that can be stored in the little pouch on the side here. So,

00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:40.160
I've got two Xbox 360 controllers there. You could also take out the power plugs,

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

00:02:43.480 --> 00:02:52.239
there. And then I'm going to pull out the Xbox Whoops. 360 power brick. And

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

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

00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:03.120
that in order to get the unit running. So, you know, hopefully you can live

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

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

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.

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

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

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

00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:36.080
straps, you strap in your console, and it is not going anywhere. So, I have it

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

00:03:38.720 --> 00:03:48.560
thing on before. And I hope I have batteries in

00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:48.560
my Xbox 360 controller. I do. All

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

00:03:54.080 --> 00:04:00.560
that, guys. Okay. So, we have the G155

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

00:04:03.200 --> 00:04:09.360
also have a helium balloon. So, I'm feeling pretty

00:04:07.040 --> 00:04:13.599
lightheaded right about now. Oh, that's better. Okay. So, I just want to show

00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:18.239
you guys basically how it works in terms of the viewing angle, in terms of any

00:04:15.920 --> 00:04:22.160
sort of ghosting or motion blur that you're going to see on this particular

00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:27.520
screen. So, uh I mean I think you pretty much got the point. Here's something

00:04:23.919 --> 00:04:29.120
that it bears noting. Uh, it's really

00:04:27.520 --> 00:04:32.240
hard to move around once it's deployed because of the rubber grippy things on

00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:37.040
the bottom, which is good. You don't want it to just sort of randomly move

00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:40.880
around. But, um, all your ventilation holes at the back have ample room

00:04:39.280 --> 00:04:45.600
between the back of the Xbox and the screen. Your ventilation holes here are

00:04:42.960 --> 00:04:50.080
not Did I just do something? Oh, I just ejected the game. Whoops. Um, are not

00:04:47.840 --> 00:04:54.320
too obstructed by the straps. And then the ones on the bottom are also not that

00:04:51.919 --> 00:04:58.960
obstructed. So, your Xbox 360 shouldn't run into any more uh overheating

00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:02.320
problems than normal uh when you're using the

00:04:59.880 --> 00:05:05.840
G155. Now, in terms of the speakers that we're equipped with here, I guess uh

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,

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

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

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

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

00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:31.759
people, you're sitting at a reasonable distance. You got kind of person one

00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:35.280
here, it's going to look about like that. And then you got person one here,

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

00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:44.600
to go down. Now, in terms of the volume, let's go ahead

00:05:42.280 --> 00:05:48.800
and crank this up. I mean, I don't want you guys to

00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:50.960
have unrealistic expectation. Okay, we're probably not going to crank that

00:05:49.919 --> 00:05:56.720
all the way up because it's getting pretty loud to be perfectly

00:05:53.960 --> 00:06:00.000
honest. So, go ahead and start the game. Continue

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

00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:09.440
ahead and adjust the screen. No, apparently I can't do that. Okay. So,

00:06:07.840 --> 00:06:14.280
what I could do is I could put a game box

00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:17.199
here and I could put that

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

00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:24.840
reflectiveness. So, I'm going to go ahead and kill the light that's right

00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:27.440
behind it. And the other light. There we

00:06:24.840 --> 00:06:34.720
are. Hand to hand gives you the ability to execute. Okay. Whoops. Okay. I

00:06:31.520 --> 00:06:36.639
haven't really used the Xbox much, so uh

00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:38.880
I'm not an expert. Is it loading right now

00:06:39.880 --> 00:06:45.360
or? There we

00:06:42.919 --> 00:06:48.560
go. Come on. Sooner we get this loaded up, the sooner we get it to the

00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:57.000
Americans at the airport. Sooner we do that, the sooner we get paid.

00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:57.000
Oh, was that a guy? How we doing?

00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:05.599
Yeah, no kidding. Any idea what's in the big box?

00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:10.889
Okay. Apparently, they didn't notice that.

00:07:13.440 --> 00:07:21.160
I've actually never played a Splinter Cell game. A to jump. Oh, that one.

00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:21.160
Okay, there we go.

00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:28.070
Here we go. Left trigger to drop. Left.

00:07:25.440 --> 00:07:29.319
Oh, wow.

00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:37.160
Cool. And they didn't notice that somehow. I think they're even facing

00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:37.160
over there.

00:07:41.440 --> 00:07:46.479
Okay. Well, the general point of that was that the speakers are pretty loud.

00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:51.199
Definitely a satisfactory gaming experience. So, thank you for checking

00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:52.520
out my uh first look and gameplay video

00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:57.039
with the G51 portable gaming station, and I hope

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

00:08:01.039 --> 00:08:03.599
videos.

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

00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:16.240
lot of reflectiveness that the camera's catching and that you really can't see

00:08:13.520 --> 00:08:20.639
in person. I'd say this zone kind of right here is representative of how the

00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:26.639
screen actually looks. Because with that light behind me, it looks fine. Yeah,

00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:31.120
it's just the lens is having the camera's having a hard time adjusting to

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

00:08:34.560 --> 00:08:39.120
like this at all. This is This is more like it.
