WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.740
is this supposed to be in the case

00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:13.740
I mean I guess it makes sense that no mere mortal case could possibly contain

00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:16.260
the 1X player oxp2 this thing is

00:00:13.740 --> 00:00:22.980
basically like if your steam deck was bigger faster higher resolution and

00:00:20.820 --> 00:00:29.340
this little party trick the controllers come off it's like a switch but like

00:00:26.340 --> 00:00:32.820
massive oh and they're really cool check

00:00:29.340 --> 00:00:36.120
this out hall effect joysticks pretty

00:00:32.820 --> 00:00:38.640
good feeling ABX wise shoulder buttons

00:00:36.120 --> 00:00:43.920
feel all right too but hall effect triggers that's right better accuracy

00:00:41.340 --> 00:00:46.920
most importantly better durability and my expectation is that they're gonna

00:00:45.480 --> 00:00:51.539
have very little in the way of dead zones because of the way hall effect

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

00:00:53.100 --> 00:01:01.079
to prevent drift which isn't really preventing it it's just masking it until

00:00:58.680 --> 00:01:05.280
it becomes egregious let's talk about the compute body they don't that's not

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

00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:17.340
latest text so it's got an AMD ryzen 6800u that means eight Zen three cores

00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:20.220
and a Radeon 6800 mgpu that's an even

00:01:17.340 --> 00:01:25.080
more powerful rdna2 GPU than what is found in the steam deck which it should

00:01:22.860 --> 00:01:30.600
be because it does cost considerably more and as actually considerably

00:01:27.960 --> 00:01:36.360
looking like thicker look at this thing go holy schnikes I mean yeah I know that

00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:40.560
obviously none of the computers in the controllers because these are super

00:01:38.520 --> 00:01:44.700
light these way like next to nothing but that is a thick boy compared to the

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

00:01:48.780 --> 00:01:59.640
way up to two terabyte capacities and it's got USB a okay micro SD expansion

00:01:55.520 --> 00:02:02.280
USB 4 with claimed support for egpus

00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:07.020
headphone jack volume up and down power button and yes that's right my friends

00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:14.099
right next to the little label that says hardcore Gamers is a turbo button taking

00:02:10.860 --> 00:02:16.080
me back to the 486 days I love it

00:02:14.099 --> 00:02:20.459
obviously nothing on the side except for the povo pin pads that are going to

00:02:17.580 --> 00:02:26.580
contact these controllers and then on the bottom ah another USBC connector I

00:02:24.480 --> 00:02:31.319
actually don't know which one is usb4 because my spec sheet only mentions one

00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:36.840
usb4 port so cool we've also got our speaker grilles

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

00:02:39.540 --> 00:02:46.620
charging on this thing they claim that you can get to 50 battery capacity in

00:02:43.980 --> 00:02:52.920
just half an hour as for the battery capacity they're claiming anywhere from

00:02:48.900 --> 00:02:55.980
three to six hours thanks to the 65 watt

00:02:52.920 --> 00:02:58.800
hour battery that explains why this

00:02:55.980 --> 00:03:04.379
thing is so chunky by comparison the steam deck is somewhere in the 40 to 45

00:03:01.200 --> 00:03:07.200
yeah 40 watt hour range so this has over

00:03:04.379 --> 00:03:13.260
50 percent more battery capacity that also contributes to some extra weight

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

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

00:03:20.760 --> 00:03:27.360
little bit tighter there's more wobble in these than I would like to see maybe

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

00:03:30.540 --> 00:03:36.659
liking the display these guys have a reputation for packing super high

00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:43.040
resolution screens into their handhelds sometimes higher resolution than even

00:03:38.700 --> 00:03:46.560
makes sense this one is 2560 by 1600

00:03:43.040 --> 00:03:49.319
which I I mean I guess there are some

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

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

00:03:55.799 --> 00:04:00.360
is so high that what I've found is that

00:03:58.799 --> 00:04:04.739
when you run it at a non-native resolution it doesn't look so bad

00:04:02.580 --> 00:04:09.720
compared to the old days when we had you know 1280 by 1024 desktop monitors those

00:04:08.040 --> 00:04:13.920
looked awful when you ran them at anything other than native res but once

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

00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:25.560
display it's no longer nearly as big of an issue the interpolation doesn't look

00:04:23.100 --> 00:04:28.740
so obvious oh I guess there's some other cool features we can talk about while

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

00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:36.240
don't actually have to use it with the controllers you can just say forget the

00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:40.800
controllers pack your own controller whether it's an Xbox controller with

00:04:38.340 --> 00:04:45.060
Microsoft's dongle or Playstation or Xbox controller connected via Bluetooth

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

00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:53.639
natively on the device so in my recent review on the Linus Tech tips channel of

00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:57.360
the Logitech gcloud I talked about how sometimes it actually just does make

00:04:55.979 --> 00:05:01.259
more sense to stream a game you get better battery life and as long as

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

00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:09.300
unless you're playing something that really requires like Pixel Perfect

00:05:07.440 --> 00:05:13.320
Precision you're playing like Super Meat Boy or something like that

00:05:10.919 --> 00:05:16.860
most people probably won't notice obviously I wouldn't play Counter-Strike

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

00:05:19.259 --> 00:05:27.120
I scream this size but with my little tiny keyboard and mouse you know horses

00:05:25.020 --> 00:05:31.080
for courses right this video is brought to you by secret Lab secret lab chairs

00:05:29.400 --> 00:05:36.000
are engineered to keep you incredibly comfortable for long hours at work or

00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:39.060
play their Titan Evo 2022 chair keeps you feeling comfortable for longer

00:05:37.500 --> 00:05:43.860
thanks to their four-way lumbar support their lineup of ultra comfortable seat

00:05:41.400 --> 00:05:48.479
materials and more all their chairs come with up to a five-year extended warranty

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

00:05:50.100 --> 00:05:56.880
check out secret lab today I have high hopes for the speakers they're

00:05:54.060 --> 00:06:02.400
apparently powered by Harman but then again this is just I don't know what a

00:05:59.520 --> 00:06:07.139
Harman audio EFX is I haven't heard of that before

00:06:03.960 --> 00:06:10.259
oh what the devil is this

00:06:07.139 --> 00:06:13.680
huh there's a little magnetic something

00:06:10.259 --> 00:06:15.240
that oh okay ah

00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:21.800
well the adhesive came off this again that's a prototype

00:06:18.539 --> 00:06:21.800
what the heck

00:06:22.380 --> 00:06:30.120
the volume down button is opening up the on-screen keyboard right now uh so I

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

00:06:31.440 --> 00:06:33.919
zones are

00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:37.280
ooh

00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:45.180
those are bigger than I'd like

00:06:41.100 --> 00:06:47.580
look at that no cursor movement

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

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

00:06:53.639 --> 00:07:00.060
get the improved durability but like I

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

00:07:01.500 --> 00:07:09.040
makes aiming so much easier

00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:10.819
that is not a lot of frames per seconds

00:07:10.819 --> 00:07:19.319
okay let's go ahead and get that reconfigured

00:07:14.699 --> 00:07:21.290
quick preset medium I don't think so

00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:24.199
okay well that's definitely running

00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:30.060
yeah there's no obvious Precision advantage to these hall effect dry

00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:33.240
sticks when they've got these giant dead zones on them

00:07:31.259 --> 00:07:35.599
and look at this okay so I'm going in a straight line

00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:43.680
oh I'm moving around this much and I'm

00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:48.780
still going in a straight line right if you want to make small adjustments

00:07:45.599 --> 00:07:50.880
you've got to have small dead zones

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

00:07:56.580 --> 00:08:07.819
but what if we kick things into turbo mode holy crap what is turbo mode doing

00:08:02.819 --> 00:08:11.039
we just jumped to a nice 69 average FPS

00:08:07.819 --> 00:08:13.199
my one percent lows are Now 46 okay hold

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

00:08:15.479 --> 00:08:23.160
yeah you can you can hear the fan going hey oh whoops oh shoot

00:08:20.280 --> 00:08:28.500
100 playable not at the most amazing details we're not turning on Ray tracing

00:08:25.259 --> 00:08:31.139
or whatever but this is 100 playable

00:08:28.500 --> 00:08:35.339
this is a really big display for 720p though I think 1080 would be my sweet

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

00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:44.760
dips some tips oh oh I gotta get control of

00:08:42.300 --> 00:08:49.620
this car even with the lower frame rate and the dips I would probably play like

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

00:08:53.399 --> 00:09:03.540
nits with 88 coverage of the ntsc color space and it subjectively anyway looks

00:09:00.420 --> 00:09:05.580
pretty darn good no obvious just like oh

00:09:03.540 --> 00:09:10.620
yeah the reds are way overblown or greens are way out or anything like that

00:09:07.560 --> 00:09:12.060
we you know wouldn't really evaluate a

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

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

00:09:19.260 --> 00:09:25.440
box but it certainly has the capability on a device like this I absolutely would

00:09:23.160 --> 00:09:29.640
use Dynamic resolution scaling but I want to see how the hardware actually

00:09:27.300 --> 00:09:35.720
performs so I'm turning it off for now never actually played the original game

00:09:32.640 --> 00:09:35.720
heard it's really good though

00:09:37.800 --> 00:09:43.080
well if I could get up there Brandon

00:09:41.580 --> 00:09:48.000
I guess oh you can literally just run up the

00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:50.580
wall okay I mean that makes sense you're Spider-Man

00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:56.820
you know what whatever I'm having trouble with and try and took

00:09:53.820 --> 00:10:00.360
controls here none of that matters my

00:09:56.820 --> 00:10:03.019
lows are in the 25 FPS range my averages

00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:10.320
are in the 40 FPS range that is extremely playable man the 6800u is a

00:10:07.920 --> 00:10:17.100
game changer in terms of mobile gaming this okay it's running hello but it's

00:10:13.860 --> 00:10:19.560
running at 1920 by 1200 and on a screen

00:10:17.100 --> 00:10:23.279
this size you don't notice graphical details being turned down as much it

00:10:21.779 --> 00:10:26.160
looks awesome there's some other cool stuff to talk about these Pogo pins are

00:10:24.779 --> 00:10:32.279
apparently for an optional detachable keyboard it has support for up to 4096

00:10:29.940 --> 00:10:38.339
pressure levels with like a Microsoft Surface Pen stylus which is

00:10:35.339 --> 00:10:41.160
neat I guess it has a six axis gyroscope

00:10:38.339 --> 00:10:44.880
so you can use that for aim assist does require a little bit of software

00:10:42.899 --> 00:10:48.540
configuration to get that working just right but it can be a great way to make

00:10:46.500 --> 00:10:52.260
fine adjustments to your aim especially if you can't rely on your joysticks to

00:10:50.100 --> 00:10:58.500
not have dead zones again hopefully they have that fixed for the final version it

00:10:54.660 --> 00:11:00.420
starts at 989 dollars so yeah this size

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

00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:10.019
a cost the max spec one is 1400 US dollars but it is a markedly different

00:11:08.579 --> 00:11:14.279
experience from what you get with the steam deck the only steam deck is a lot

00:11:12.420 --> 00:11:18.480
less expensive oh we never tried the speakers

00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:24.500
um these really don't sound very good

00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:32.600
um but I'd still I've still seen that done better

00:11:32.700 --> 00:11:35.700
bye
