1
00:00:01,439 --> 00:00:06,080
this is not productive enough

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,679
what

3
00:00:11,679 --> 00:00:19,840
by seuss's beard three monitors in one portable package

4
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:22,800
my dreams have come true or so i thought

5
00:00:21,439 --> 00:00:28,880
it's true that i've wanted something like this for a long time and after

6
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:30,880
seven years a stolen razor prototype and

7
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:35,680
a sleazy kickstarter that has allegedly ripped off backers for nearly 650 000

8
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:40,399
and counting someone finally did it they finally

9
00:00:38,239 --> 00:00:45,200
stepped up to actually deliver what appears to be on the surface the

10
00:00:42,719 --> 00:00:50,640
ultimate road warrior productivity tool but is clumsy just their name or is the

11
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:55,360
product kind of clumsy too i know it's not as clumsy as this segue

12
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:58,960
to our sponsor build redux they make it easy to

13
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:02,480
configure your new build with support guides to help you along the way and

14
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:06,799
they also offer competitive pricing as compared to building a pc yourself so

15
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:10,520
why not head to buildredux.com Linus and start your new build today

16
00:01:17,119 --> 00:01:23,600
i'd forgive you for thinking that the clumsy p2 pro triple monitor is a scam

17
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:28,240
because it wouldn't be the first it's story time ladies and gentlemen

18
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:33,759
five years ago at ces the team from slide and joy gave me a demonstration of

19
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:35,920
their much-hyped le slide and young

20
00:01:33,759 --> 00:01:40,799
naive Linus believed that they were a legitimate company and he was excited to

21
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:44,479
see the slide come to market since then slide enjoy has missed every

22
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:48,799
production deadline they've set for themselves they've undergone a rebrand

23
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:52,399
to portable probably in an effort to cover up their troubled history and

24
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:56,079
they've provided precious little evidence that they've ever actually

25
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:01,040
shipped anything to an end user oh and it gets worse

26
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:05,759
their kickstarter page features years of complaints about delays and on their

27
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:10,640
website we've got this review page with pictures of happy customers except that

28
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:16,400
almost all of them are taken with the founders in the same house slash office

29
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:21,200
this one's a duplicate as for the independent media coverage

30
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:24,800
oops none of those logos actually link anywhere probably because any old

31
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:30,560
coverage of these guys has been updated with warnings like this one

32
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:32,319
and they are still taking people's money

33
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:35,519
and funneling it into viral marketing stunts on social media

34
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:39,440
how do we know because they stupidly reached out to one

35
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:44,000
of our sister channels techlinked offering us 20 euros per conversion

36
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:48,160
that's a pretty bad offer considering how much they're obviously keeping the

37
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:52,400
cherry on top is they even admitted they have no stock of it not even a demo unit

38
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:56,560
so that we could see in person what we were promoting and it's because of butt

39
00:02:54,640 --> 00:03:00,640
heads like these guys that we're no longer able to cover crowdfunding

40
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:05,280
campaigns that takes important promotion away from honest people who are actually

41
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:09,120
trying to solve problems for their users problems like not having enough pockets

42
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:15,040
in your hoodie when hoodies now in stock on all sizes lttstore.com

43
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:19,280
scammers aside razer's project valerie was another cool attempt at this idea

44
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:23,920
but it was allegedly stolen from their booth at ces 2017 and razer made it

45
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:26,720
clear at the time that it was more of a proof of concept rather than a real

46
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:32,000
product that was then though this is now

47
00:03:28,959 --> 00:03:34,239
clumsy's p2 pro has its own sketchiness

48
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:39,440
to overcome like the fact that an apparently identical product from offiah

49
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:44,799
also exists but at least they managed to ship us one

50
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:50,000
so let's take a look at it and here it is we shot this out of order

51
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:55,440
so this is my first actual hands-on with this thing qualm zp2 pro they got a bit

52
00:03:52,319 --> 00:03:57,040
of a kerning issue here um it's more

53
00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:01,280
like the k1z try screen notebook expansion screen

54
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:05,439
presentation mode portrait mode triple screen mode it does exactly what those

55
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:10,239
rip-off artists promised that their product would do i couldn't help noticing it's really heavy

56
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:17,840
oh okay it's 1080p 60hz 1000-1 contrast ratio

57
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,959
16x9 13.3 inches

58
00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:24,560
oh okay comes in some kind of plastic

59
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:28,639
leather carrying case oh okay this isn't packaging this is just to cart the thing

60
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:34,400
around with with you we've got a usb type a wall board this puppy is good for

61
00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:35,919
5 volts 3 amps so it's a total of 15

62
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:42,800
watts that'll probably be enough to drive both of these panels a type c to

63
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:44,960
type c a dual type a to type c this is a

64
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:49,120
lot of cables we actually have two of these type c to type c's what they did

65
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:54,560
is to cover their bases it's like if you don't have usb-c power delivery

66
00:04:52,320 --> 00:05:00,080
you might need two usb-c ports if you don't have two usb-c ports then you can

67
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:02,800
use two usb a ports and a usb-c port oh

68
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:06,400
no just two-way or and a usb-c port oh i see

69
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:10,240
for a random product from a manufacturer i've never heard of before this is

70
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:14,800
actually a surprisingly decent quick start guide oh there's a

71
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:18,400
micro sd reader in here well that's cool is why is there a card

72
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:21,759
in here is this just a placeholder no that has data on it this has data on it

73
00:05:20,479 --> 00:05:25,600
this is how they give you the display drivers you need drivers for it kinda

74
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:32,080
should i try and hook this up and see what happens yeah let's do that oh boy

75
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,080
uh okay

76
00:05:32,479 --> 00:05:39,080
got a little kickstand on there you can adjust the angle like that i know you

77
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:45,520
mentioned this to me already adam it is 13.3 inch compatible specifically 13.3

78
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:49,120
inches no more no less well

79
00:05:47,199 --> 00:05:52,320
some more some more you can make it you can make it a lot bigger it supports up

80
00:05:50,479 --> 00:05:57,840
to oh you can make it bigger supports up to some 17 inch oh i see oh i lied again

81
00:05:55,840 --> 00:06:01,520
look at that all right we got our one cable solution

82
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:07,680
hopefully so here's if we have power delivery i'm

83
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:09,600
hoping for power delivery here okay

84
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:14,560
oh p2 pro oh it's really dim do they advertise a

85
00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:17,600
brightness spec on the box it says 220

86
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:19,680
nits that seems optimistic and this is

87
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:24,240
the part where i'm supposed to figure out how to actually

88
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,400
get it to operate i guess then because i do not see

89
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:32,880
the um sd card i'll figure it out and this has

90
00:06:29,199 --> 00:06:35,120
got to be just a one time thing okay but

91
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:40,160
no maybe the pd port is just for power in okay i'm gonna i'm gonna assume that

92
00:06:37,919 --> 00:06:44,000
type c then okay i'm trying the type c port how about now but

93
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:49,520
okay it's a little heavy a little clumsy you might say all right

94
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:55,520
my usb drive is here driver download address

95
00:06:53,039 --> 00:06:59,280
text document just in the interest of uh time i

96
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:03,759
installed the drivers on one computer they didn't do anything oh

97
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:07,759
really oh so how do i get it working sometimes it's just a matter of is that

98
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:11,280
is that for sure power delivery port i mean this says smi usb display like and

99
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:16,080
that's what the drivers would be it's just smi you also don't need

100
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:19,120
to use the sd card they do have drivers available on their website but they do

101
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:24,080
take you to a google drive okay you say i don't need

102
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:28,319
the drivers but it's not working without the driver so i do need the drivers are

103
00:07:25,919 --> 00:07:31,039
you in a power delivery usb port well i don't know does i have a little

104
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:35,039
lightning bolt buy it no maybe you should try both try both

105
00:07:33,039 --> 00:07:39,199
or it might just not work because they're a chinese company and a small

106
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:43,360
one their documentation is very lacking and also it's a niche product so you

107
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:47,440
don't hear many people going on forums trying to solve it right i definitely

108
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:52,639
need that driver like it's it's showing up and i'm prompted for a Windows 11 oh

109
00:07:51,199 --> 00:07:56,240
it's on all three screens i didn't even notice i was so busy being like no i

110
00:07:54,400 --> 00:08:00,800
don't want Windows 11 right now well that's awesome

111
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:04,800
they're really dim and they don't dim and brighten which i didn't expect them

112
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:08,879
to to be very clear you can adjust the brightness with the on-screen display oh

113
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:12,400
so there's controls at the top is that what the plus

114
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:18,240
i don't even understand what i'm doing here the controls are pretty unintuitive yeah

115
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:22,240
wow brightness does not seem to be actually changing panel backlight

116
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:25,440
intensity it seems that's the image adjusting the gamma yeah that's the

117
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,960
gamma if you scroll down to the bottom of this menu

118
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:33,120
oh it doesn't change is that the joke

119
00:08:30,639 --> 00:08:37,440
oh oh wait eventually it does hold on eventually it does when you get into

120
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:41,680
like the last 20 it does actually change meaningfully how do i exit this menu you

121
00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:47,040
just wait for it to time out they advertise 207 degrees of rotation but

122
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:52,320
that that's that's coming from the back right which is super frustrating because

123
00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:58,080
this is really wide and just bringing it in like 5-10 degrees makes it take up so

124
00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:03,600
much less space the viewing angles are also not amazing

125
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:05,440
these are not a matching 13-inch size

126
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:09,680
are they oh actually you know what i think it is i think it's this is a

127
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:13,200
inch but it's a 16 by 10 so there's just a little bit of confusion there that

128
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:19,040
also explains why you're having a bit of a better experience my laptop because

129
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:20,959
it's 16x9 this bezel ends up digging

130
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:24,160
into the ground and like making it so like i can't easily

131
00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:28,640
manipulate it which is really frustrating 16 by 10 life man yeah it's

132
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:33,760
a good one you should have chosen better everything is solved in my currency

133
00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:37,760
yeah yeah neither can we there is a solution actually to the dimness really

134
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:41,519
but it's not clearly labeled in their manual right why would it be it is on

135
00:09:39,839 --> 00:09:47,200
their website though now when i was testing i only got 93 nits for peak

136
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:51,600
brightness uh-huh and i was like clearly not right yeah they promised 220. i

137
00:09:49,839 --> 00:09:56,080
thought maybe it's 90 190 plus 90 is a high it's 180 it's

138
00:09:54,320 --> 00:10:01,200
closer get in there what you actually need to do

139
00:09:57,839 --> 00:10:03,920
is plug in both cables no

140
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:09,279
so it'll work with just one as long as you're in the dark yeah

141
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:14,720
there we go two cable solution

142
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:17,360
not ideal but not bad i mean it's

143
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:23,040
certainly usable okay cool so i got my excel over here i'm you know managing my

144
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:26,959
home assistant thing here like that is a freaking lot of screen real

145
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:30,480
estate for a laptop is it a little clumsy

146
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:35,440
yeah and we haven't even tried to pack it up yet he already made that joke i

147
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:40,079
know but it's a good it's a funny joke when it comes time to pack it up

148
00:10:38,079 --> 00:10:43,440
you know what i say about this i say don't hate because no one else is doing

149
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:48,800
it better this actually

150
00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:50,399
does not take that long to pack up

151
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:55,760
they've got a nice little some kind of i don't know like a suede alcantara to

152
00:10:54,480 --> 00:11:00,640
be clear i'm not saying it's either of those materials it's probably something much cheaper but it's they've got a

153
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:05,040
thing on there okay unlikely to damage the screen

154
00:11:03,279 --> 00:11:08,079
got this boy here nowhere to really stow all the cables

155
00:11:06,959 --> 00:11:11,680
you're gonna need that's a bit of an oversight but hey realistically you've

156
00:11:10,399 --> 00:11:16,959
got a bag you're carrying this thing around in with your laptop anyway yeah

157
00:11:14,079 --> 00:11:21,920
late 90s form factor but very 2020s

158
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:28,480
real estate one thing to note is that this will not be easy on your battery we

159
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:29,279
tested it on our 17 17 MSI creator z16p

160
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:33,519
yeah and it cut the battery from 30 like by

161
00:11:32,399 --> 00:11:37,680
33 like you lost of like a couple hours of

162
00:11:35,680 --> 00:11:41,760
battery life with a laptop like that if you weren't plugged in anyway you were

163
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:45,440
going to have a pretty clummy experience Linus isn't here yet so i'm going to use

164
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:48,480
this time to air my grievances these aren't damning but something that

165
00:11:46,959 --> 00:11:52,720
manufacturers should consider if they make a v2 and please make a v2 i want

166
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:57,519
this to be great one have the screens flip vertically so

167
00:11:55,360 --> 00:12:00,240
that i can close them into the case without having them exposed during

168
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,600
transport two increase the rotation of the hinge

169
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:08,240
mechanism so i can bring the monitors in a little bit tighter three a reworker of the kickstand to be

170
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:13,279
spring-loaded and having locking points would be great and finally brushed

171
00:12:10,399 --> 00:12:17,200
aluminum is a fingerprint magnet i don't like it and hopefully we can get better

172
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:22,000
color calibration from the factory that would be the cherry on top hey Linus

173
00:12:19,519 --> 00:12:25,040
we're ready for you great

174
00:12:22,959 --> 00:12:29,920
the elephant in the room is of course the fact that there are two brands

175
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:32,000
clumsy and ophia advertising the same

176
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:37,200
lineup of products there are actually a few potential explanations for this they

177
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:41,600
could both be rebranding a product from a third-party oem

178
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:46,639
they could be sister brands that share products kind of like if oppo and

179
00:12:43,839 --> 00:12:51,920
oneplus had two very similar or near identical phones

180
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:53,360
or one of them could be acting as an odm

181
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:58,800
so that's an original design manufacturer kind of like how foxconn

182
00:12:55,519 --> 00:13:00,959
builds iphones but those are designed by

183
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:06,639
apple and then it could be that that manufacturer is then secretly selling

184
00:13:03,839 --> 00:13:11,200
that other company's design out the back door we don't know which of these

185
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:15,760
situations is right it's all speculation but what we can say for sure is that

186
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:21,440
clumsy has a pretty cool product on their hands it is actually real but the

187
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:25,920
standard small company disclaimers do apply here the documentation as we saw

188
00:13:23,279 --> 00:13:29,200
is kind of lacking and we haven't tested their customer service but that's the

189
00:13:27,839 --> 00:13:35,760
risk that you take when you go with a brand that doesn't have an established presence in your particular region but

190
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:41,279
hey at least they've made a better first impression than slide and joy right
