1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,740
is this supposed to be in the case

2
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:13,740
I mean I guess it makes sense that no mere mortal case could possibly contain

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:16,260
the 1X player oxp2 this thing is

4
00:00:13,740 --> 00:00:22,980
basically like if your steam deck was bigger faster higher resolution and

5
00:00:20,820 --> 00:00:29,340
this little party trick the controllers come off it's like a switch but like

6
00:00:26,340 --> 00:00:32,820
massive oh and they're really cool check

7
00:00:29,340 --> 00:00:36,120
this out hall effect joysticks pretty

8
00:00:32,820 --> 00:00:38,640
good feeling ABX wise shoulder buttons

9
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:43,920
feel all right too but hall effect triggers that's right better accuracy

10
00:00:41,340 --> 00:00:46,920
most importantly better durability and my expectation is that they're gonna

11
00:00:45,480 --> 00:00:51,539
have very little in the way of dead zones because of the way hall effect

12
00:00:48,899 --> 00:00:55,920
sensors work you don't need to have a giant Dead Zone in the middle in order

13
00:00:53,100 --> 00:01:01,079
to prevent drift which isn't really preventing it it's just masking it until

14
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:05,280
it becomes egregious let's talk about the compute body they don't that's not

15
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:09,799
their name for it that's my name for it this right here is packed full of the

16
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:17,340
latest text so it's got an AMD ryzen 6800u that means eight Zen three cores

17
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:20,220
and a Radeon 6800 mgpu that's an even

18
00:01:17,340 --> 00:01:25,080
more powerful rdna2 GPU than what is found in the steam deck which it should

19
00:01:22,860 --> 00:01:30,600
be because it does cost considerably more and as actually considerably

20
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:36,360
looking like thicker look at this thing go holy schnikes I mean yeah I know that

21
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:40,560
obviously none of the computers in the controllers because these are super

22
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:44,700
light these way like next to nothing but that is a thick boy compared to the

23
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:51,659
steam deck there's some other really interesting stuff going on here too it's available anywhere from 512 gig all the

24
00:01:48,780 --> 00:01:59,640
way up to two terabyte capacities and it's got USB a okay micro SD expansion

25
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:02,280
USB 4 with claimed support for egpus

26
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:07,020
headphone jack volume up and down power button and yes that's right my friends

27
00:02:04,799 --> 00:02:14,099
right next to the little label that says hardcore Gamers is a turbo button taking

28
00:02:10,860 --> 00:02:16,080
me back to the 486 days I love it

29
00:02:14,099 --> 00:02:20,459
obviously nothing on the side except for the povo pin pads that are going to

30
00:02:17,580 --> 00:02:26,580
contact these controllers and then on the bottom ah another USBC connector I

31
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:31,319
actually don't know which one is usb4 because my spec sheet only mentions one

32
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:36,840
usb4 port so cool we've also got our speaker grilles

33
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:41,519
and this is interesting it does 20 volt 5 amp charging so that's a hundred watt

34
00:02:39,540 --> 00:02:46,620
charging on this thing they claim that you can get to 50 battery capacity in

35
00:02:43,980 --> 00:02:52,920
just half an hour as for the battery capacity they're claiming anywhere from

36
00:02:48,900 --> 00:02:55,980
three to six hours thanks to the 65 watt

37
00:02:52,920 --> 00:02:58,800
hour battery that explains why this

38
00:02:55,980 --> 00:03:04,379
thing is so chunky by comparison the steam deck is somewhere in the 40 to 45

39
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:07,200
yeah 40 watt hour range so this has over

40
00:03:04,379 --> 00:03:13,260
50 percent more battery capacity that also contributes to some extra weight

41
00:03:10,519 --> 00:03:17,819
it's pretty heavy now this is a prototype but that doesn't mean I'm not

42
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:22,920
going to give 1X player feedback on it I think these rails have got to get a

43
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:27,360
little bit tighter there's more wobble in these than I would like to see maybe

44
00:03:24,780 --> 00:03:33,060
they can you know metal up the interface in here but man I've gotta say I am

45
00:03:30,540 --> 00:03:36,659
liking the display these guys have a reputation for packing super high

46
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:43,040
resolution screens into their handhelds sometimes higher resolution than even

47
00:03:38,700 --> 00:03:46,560
makes sense this one is 2560 by 1600

48
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:49,319
which I I mean I guess there are some

49
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:53,220
games that the 6800u would be able to power at that res but that is not going

50
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:58,799
to be what you're running AAA games at the good news is that that pixel density

51
00:03:55,799 --> 00:04:00,360
is so high that what I've found is that

52
00:03:58,799 --> 00:04:04,739
when you run it at a non-native resolution it doesn't look so bad

53
00:04:02,580 --> 00:04:09,720
compared to the old days when we had you know 1280 by 1024 desktop monitors those

54
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:13,920
looked awful when you ran them at anything other than native res but once

55
00:04:11,459 --> 00:04:20,940
you get up into like 4K 5K desktop monitors and like 1440p and a 8.4 inch

56
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:25,560
display it's no longer nearly as big of an issue the interpolation doesn't look

57
00:04:23,100 --> 00:04:28,740
so obvious oh I guess there's some other cool features we can talk about while

58
00:04:26,759 --> 00:04:32,880
that finishes one is that that it's got a kickstand so much like the switch you

59
00:04:31,199 --> 00:04:36,240
don't actually have to use it with the controllers you can just say forget the

60
00:04:34,199 --> 00:04:40,800
controllers pack your own controller whether it's an Xbox controller with

61
00:04:38,340 --> 00:04:45,060
Microsoft's dongle or Playstation or Xbox controller connected via Bluetooth

62
00:04:42,419 --> 00:04:49,440
and then just kind of set it up and game on the go you don't have to run games

63
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:53,639
natively on the device so in my recent review on the Linus Tech tips channel of

64
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:57,360
the Logitech gcloud I talked about how sometimes it actually just does make

65
00:04:55,979 --> 00:05:01,259
more sense to stream a game you get better battery life and as long as

66
00:04:58,979 --> 00:05:05,520
you're on your home Wi-Fi I mean man steam link is so good these days that

67
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:09,300
unless you're playing something that really requires like Pixel Perfect

68
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:13,320
Precision you're playing like Super Meat Boy or something like that

69
00:05:10,919 --> 00:05:16,860
most people probably won't notice obviously I wouldn't play Counter-Strike

70
00:05:15,180 --> 00:05:21,600
on a streamed connection but I'm also not going to be playing Counter-Strike on like

71
00:05:19,259 --> 00:05:27,120
I scream this size but with my little tiny keyboard and mouse you know horses

72
00:05:25,020 --> 00:05:31,080
for courses right this video is brought to you by secret Lab secret lab chairs

73
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:36,000
are engineered to keep you incredibly comfortable for long hours at work or

74
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:39,060
play their Titan Evo 2022 chair keeps you feeling comfortable for longer

75
00:05:37,500 --> 00:05:43,860
thanks to their four-way lumbar support their lineup of ultra comfortable seat

76
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:48,479
materials and more all their chairs come with up to a five-year extended warranty

77
00:05:45,780 --> 00:05:52,440
and a 49 day return policy so don't wait head to the link in the description to

78
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:56,880
check out secret lab today I have high hopes for the speakers they're

79
00:05:54,060 --> 00:06:02,400
apparently powered by Harman but then again this is just I don't know what a

80
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:07,139
Harman audio EFX is I haven't heard of that before

81
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:10,259
oh what the devil is this

82
00:06:07,139 --> 00:06:13,680
huh there's a little magnetic something

83
00:06:10,259 --> 00:06:15,240
that oh okay ah

84
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:21,800
well the adhesive came off this again that's a prototype

85
00:06:18,539 --> 00:06:21,800
what the heck

86
00:06:22,380 --> 00:06:30,120
the volume down button is opening up the on-screen keyboard right now uh so I

87
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:33,919
guess we're stuck with game audio okay let's have a look at how big these dead

88
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,919
zones are

89
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,280
ooh

90
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:45,180
those are bigger than I'd like

91
00:06:41,100 --> 00:06:47,580
look at that no cursor movement

92
00:06:45,180 --> 00:06:51,840
guys you're missing out on a lot of the benefit of a hall effect joystick if

93
00:06:49,860 --> 00:06:57,479
you're gonna have a giant Dead Zone like that in the middle of it yes you still

94
00:06:53,639 --> 00:07:00,060
get the improved durability but like I

95
00:06:57,479 --> 00:07:05,240
want that Precision when you don't have a big dead zone in the middle of it it

96
00:07:01,500 --> 00:07:09,040
makes aiming so much easier

97
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:10,819
that is not a lot of frames per seconds

98
00:07:10,819 --> 00:07:19,319
okay let's go ahead and get that reconfigured

99
00:07:14,699 --> 00:07:21,290
quick preset medium I don't think so

100
00:07:19,319 --> 00:07:24,199
okay well that's definitely running

101
00:07:24,199 --> 00:07:30,060
yeah there's no obvious Precision advantage to these hall effect dry

102
00:07:28,199 --> 00:07:33,240
sticks when they've got these giant dead zones on them

103
00:07:31,259 --> 00:07:35,599
and look at this okay so I'm going in a straight line

104
00:07:37,199 --> 00:07:43,680
oh I'm moving around this much and I'm

105
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:48,780
still going in a straight line right if you want to make small adjustments

106
00:07:45,599 --> 00:07:50,880
you've got to have small dead zones

107
00:07:48,780 --> 00:07:58,740
so we're running at one percent low s of around 30 FPS on low at 1280 by 800. oh

108
00:07:56,580 --> 00:08:07,819
but what if we kick things into turbo mode holy crap what is turbo mode doing

109
00:08:02,819 --> 00:08:11,039
we just jumped to a nice 69 average FPS

110
00:08:07,819 --> 00:08:13,199
my one percent lows are Now 46 okay hold

111
00:08:11,039 --> 00:08:17,520
on I'm not I'm not in as dense a spot let's get let's get turned around here

112
00:08:15,479 --> 00:08:23,160
yeah you can you can hear the fan going hey oh whoops oh shoot

113
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:28,500
100 playable not at the most amazing details we're not turning on Ray tracing

114
00:08:25,259 --> 00:08:31,139
or whatever but this is 100 playable

115
00:08:28,500 --> 00:08:35,339
this is a really big display for 720p though I think 1080 would be my sweet

116
00:08:33,180 --> 00:08:39,899
spot here can we get away with that what do you think can we get away with 1080

117
00:08:38,279 --> 00:08:44,760
dips some tips oh oh I gotta get control of

118
00:08:42,300 --> 00:08:49,620
this car even with the lower frame rate and the dips I would probably play like

119
00:08:46,860 --> 00:08:56,220
this it's not OLED it's not high refresh rate only 60 hertz but they rated at 350

120
00:08:53,399 --> 00:09:03,540
nits with 88 coverage of the ntsc color space and it subjectively anyway looks

121
00:09:00,420 --> 00:09:05,580
pretty darn good no obvious just like oh

122
00:09:03,540 --> 00:09:10,620
yeah the reds are way overblown or greens are way out or anything like that

123
00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:12,060
we you know wouldn't really evaluate a

124
00:09:10,620 --> 00:09:17,160
prototype based on that anyway since that's down to calibration at the factory so that's something that we'd

125
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:20,880
want to see from like a finished unit to determine how accurate it is out of the

126
00:09:19,260 --> 00:09:25,440
box but it certainly has the capability on a device like this I absolutely would

127
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:29,640
use Dynamic resolution scaling but I want to see how the hardware actually

128
00:09:27,300 --> 00:09:35,720
performs so I'm turning it off for now never actually played the original game

129
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,720
heard it's really good though

130
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:43,080
well if I could get up there Brandon

131
00:09:41,580 --> 00:09:48,000
I guess oh you can literally just run up the

132
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:50,580
wall okay I mean that makes sense you're Spider-Man

133
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:56,820
you know what whatever I'm having trouble with and try and took

134
00:09:53,820 --> 00:10:00,360
controls here none of that matters my

135
00:09:56,820 --> 00:10:03,019
lows are in the 25 FPS range my averages

136
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:10,320
are in the 40 FPS range that is extremely playable man the 6800u is a

137
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:17,100
game changer in terms of mobile gaming this okay it's running hello but it's

138
00:10:13,860 --> 00:10:19,560
running at 1920 by 1200 and on a screen

139
00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:23,279
this size you don't notice graphical details being turned down as much it

140
00:10:21,779 --> 00:10:26,160
looks awesome there's some other cool stuff to talk about these Pogo pins are

141
00:10:24,779 --> 00:10:32,279
apparently for an optional detachable keyboard it has support for up to 4096

142
00:10:29,940 --> 00:10:38,339
pressure levels with like a Microsoft Surface Pen stylus which is

143
00:10:35,339 --> 00:10:41,160
neat I guess it has a six axis gyroscope

144
00:10:38,339 --> 00:10:44,880
so you can use that for aim assist does require a little bit of software

145
00:10:42,899 --> 00:10:48,540
configuration to get that working just right but it can be a great way to make

146
00:10:46,500 --> 00:10:52,260
fine adjustments to your aim especially if you can't rely on your joysticks to

147
00:10:50,100 --> 00:10:58,500
not have dead zones again hopefully they have that fixed for the final version it

148
00:10:54,660 --> 00:11:00,420
starts at 989 dollars so yeah this size

149
00:10:58,500 --> 00:11:05,760
and performance and you know it's not even that loud doesn't get hot comes at

150
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:10,019
a cost the max spec one is 1400 US dollars but it is a markedly different

151
00:11:08,579 --> 00:11:14,279
experience from what you get with the steam deck the only steam deck is a lot

152
00:11:12,420 --> 00:11:18,480
less expensive oh we never tried the speakers

153
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:24,500
um these really don't sound very good

154
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:32,600
um but I'd still I've still seen that done better

155
00:11:32,700 --> 00:11:35,700
bye
