My Portable Gaming #Helpful Post

hey guys this is Austin and this is my

portable gaming setup so it might not

look like much from the outside but

inside this bag is everything I need to

game on the go

first of all I've got to give a big

shout out to ASA for sponsoring this

video the star of my portable setup is

their predator Helios 300 laptop for

just over a thousand dollars what you're

getting here is a pretty well built

laptop so yes for some people the gamer

aesthetic might be a little bit strong

but for me I feel like it's fairly

subtle and you do have that kind of nice

brushed aluminum look what really makes

this guy special are the specs so inside

it's rocking a core i7 7700 HQ processor

GTX 1060 graphics as well as 16 gigs of

DDR 4 memory as well as a 256 gigabyte

SSD take a look at the benchmarks and

you'll see that that core i7 is about as

good as it gets as far as gaming laptops

go right now and with the gtx 1060

inside is a big step up with a 1050 Ti

and especially the 1050 it's also pretty

upgradable so underneath a pair of doors

on the bottom of the laptop both of

which only need a single screw to get

into not only can you upgrade this guy

to 32 gigabytes of memory but there's

also an entirely empty two and a half

inch drive bay for adding a hard drive

or another SSD it's also rocking a 15.6

inch 1080p IPS panel so a lot of laptops

weirdly even gaming laptops will skimp

on the screen Department but this is a

solid IPS panel it's got good viewing

angles solid color and 1080p is a good

sweet spot for that gtx 1060 inside it's

also running a basically clean build of

Windows 10 which is nice so if you want

to get into the gaming side of things

there is the Xbox app which gives you

game DVR as well as you can connect with

people on Xbox one and one of the only

things that's actually pre-loaded is a

sirs predator since software which is

fairly basic but allows you to take a

look at things like temperature as well

as control fan profiles with the Helios

we're able to play most games on high if

not ultra settings at 1080p so Forza

horizon 3 is a good example of this

now I typically play it on the Xbox one

where it runs it you know decent 30

frames per second on high settings but

here not only can we crank it up to

ultra but more importantly we have an

unlocked framerate where we're getting

anywhere between 60 to 80 frames per

second a gink I don't get to play

anywhere near enough but really enjoy is

Starcraft 2 now with something that's

been out for a few years it shouldn't be

any big surprise but we're easily able

to play on full Ultra settings at 1080p

nation we have player unknowns

battlegrounds so pub G is again

it's actually seen a fair bit of

optimization lately and it runs pretty

well here

so it's 1080p with a mix of medium high

and a couple of Ultra settings where

she's able to get a pretty consistent 50

to 60 frames per second oh god oh god I

was a bad idea running naked down the

street totally recommended never gonna

never gonna go wrong now to go along

with the laptop I actually do use a

samsung t5 which I keep in this little

carrying case so this is where I keep my

Steam library so because I go between

different computers both here at the

office as well as my personal laptop so

it's nice to be able to keep all of my

games in one place so I don't have to

download them again all over the place

keep them updated and because this is

natively USB see it will go right into

the Predators USB C port give me an

extra 500 gigs of storage for games so

when it comes to actually gaming I don't

use anything all that crazy I use a

pretty standard mouse pad as well as the

Ben qfk one mouse don't let looks fool

you even though this is a very basic

plain looking Mouse it actually performs

really well so I'm not really a big fan

of sort of more flashing mice with a ton

of buttons and RGB something that this

is really all I need for a gaming setup

and it definitely doesn't hurt that's

only like 60 bucks

well the prior keyboard paired with the

Ben q mouse is what I need for about 90%

of my games I actually do like to play

some racing games like Forza which is

where the Xbox one controller comes in

so this is one of their custom design

lab controllers they actually did a

video on a few months ago but as far as

the actual functionality it's the exact

same as any of the new Xbox one

controllers that feature bluetooth so

some of the older ones you either had to

plug in via USB or use one of the

wireless dongles and for this guy all I

need to do is pair it with the laptop

and I'm up and running for headphones

I'm still rocking these status CB ones

so this is actually my second pair

actually sort of wore through the first

but I really do love these so not only

do they sound really nice especially

considering the $80 price tag but

they're super comfortable for long

gaming sessions and on top of that they

do fold up so you can easily fit them in

a bag it might not be exciting but I

also keep a four port tap on me so I'm

only does this turn one outlet into four

but you also get three USB ports

especially when you're traveling and you

need to say plug a couple laptops or

tablets or phones in this thing can be a

lifesaver

everything goes inside a to me cheap-ass

bag now don't get me wrong this is

definitely on the pricey side but now

does it carry all of my accessories as

well as sometimes some video gear but

most importantly the Helios 300 it might

not be overkill but I'm pretty happy

with how the setup turned out

as always links to all this stuff will

be in the description of this video and

setup in the comments below anyway thank
