whether
you need a domain online store
or
website make it with Squarespace hey
guys
the Austin this inconspicuous box
right
here contains a portable game
console
that is a full-fledged PC with
Windows
this is the GPD win - and it'll
be
clear this is still a prototype so
the
final version will have some fit and
finish
differences but should give us a
good
look at what this guy is actually
going
to be like when it goes on sale yo
it's
like a little laptop wow this is so
cool
so if you guys remember last year
we
did a video on the world's smallest
laptop
at the time which is also made by
GPD
well this actually takes a lot of
cues
from that but it actually has
pretty
much a full Xbox controller built
in
in addition to a tiny keyboard I've
got
to say the hardware feels
surprisingly
solid so it's all metal and
actually
is I'm a member oh yeah that's
definitely
metal yeah this is this is
very
unusual there's all kinds of weird
buttons
and ports it's a full sized USB
port
on the back of your tiny game
console
so in addition to a slot for the
SSD
you will also see the tiny fan now
it
separates this from something like
that
GPD laptop that we took a look at
last
year as this has a proper core
processor
and mind you it's a low
wattage
core m3 but still it actually
should
be enough to play some decent
games
there's a pretty wide variety of
ports
including a USB type-c which can
also
be used for charging a headphone
jack
a full size USB 3.0 micro sd we
have
a micro HDMI as well as we have
three
sets of shoulder buttons take a
look
inside the win - and you'll see
it's
a pretty interesting little device
so
in addition to having a pair of
joysticks
you also get a d-pad as well
as
your standard XY a and B buttons
there's
a little table here that will
switch
between Mouse input as well as
just
turning it into a game controller
but
even on the keyboard there are some
specific
options including you've got an
Xbox
button so I like to start you can
even
use the arrow keys as well as the
WASD
now is it a good idea for you to
set
your tiny little laptop portable
console
thing up and use it with a mouse
in
this tiny keyboard no it's not a good
idea
at all but you have a USB port so
you
can do it so
might
not sound impressive with a 6 inch
720p
display it actually does make sense
considering
that the fairly limited
power
of the actual computer or game
console
what I call this do we call this
a
computer you think I mean it runs
Windows
it's a computer raid handheld PC
coming
back 2018 fear of handheld pcs do
you
hear that that's the sound of
portable
power especially not that loud
it's
just a little a little high-pitched
I
will say one thing now that we're
actually
into Windows 720p on a 6-inch
display
is very very small inside this
guy
is rocking that quart m3 processor
with
the integrated HD 615 graphics
eight
gigabytes of RAM 120 gig SSD as
well
as a pair of 49 hundred million
power
batteries which especially when
you're
doing longer gaming sessions
should
definitely come in handy so
because
this guy only has 120 gigs of
storage
out of the box I am using an
external
drive but let's actually see
how
the controls hold up in gaming the
first
game I'm going to be trying is
csgo
now this is a famous game that is
really
well known for how well it is
supported
by controllers and how it
really
is the ultimate way of playing
the
game alright I'm just walking on
with
a pistol because I don't know what
the
controls are to switch oh it's space
so
immediately the performance it seems
decent
I definitely need to tune the
sensitivity
of these sticks but being
like
45 frames per second on medium at
720p
we want to play this the more it
really
does feel like I'm playing on a
PC
version of the switch the 6 inch
screen
even though it's not super high
resolution
or anything because it's so
small
it makes a lot of games even on
medium
looks pretty decent
next
we have rocket League now here I'm
also
going to turn it down to 720p on
quality
settings but I think we should
be
playable a game like rocket League
does
feel at home on the win not only is
it
powerful enough to play it pretty
well
the controls feel really nice so
something
I'm noticing here is that the
quality
of the buttons and especially
the
sticks feels solid it feels like
while
yes this is going to be a little
bit
of an expensive portable would you
see
where they spent it it wasn't like
they're
just going crazy and oh yeah oh
yeah
come on come on come on come on
come
on come on oh no next we have GTA 5
no
this a claim is able to be played
back
at around 40 frames per second with
max
said
however
while I'm playing it here at
720p
on normal I'm getting like 20
frames
per second so I'm not exactly
sure
how they're getting that number
it's
kind of playable just as about as
much
as like the Xbox 360 version maybe
but
yeah not the greatest experience
even
though the controls are good for
the
most part I will say it is a little
bit
awkward to have three sets of
buttons
on your shoulders instead of two
so
instead of being able to press in the
sticks
for r3 and l3 you actually have
that
dedicated button around back and
that's
fine but I accidentally keep
grabbing
it what I mean to do something
like
shoot at someone or something which
is
kind of annoying now comes the real
test
can
I play overwatch on this guy so at
first
glance a portable overwatch
machine
sounds like a great idea but I'm
curious
to see what the actual
performance
looks like so an overwatch
it's
720p on low we do say the framerate
dropping
a little bit from time to time
especially
when you get into a big
battle
but it is usable my big issue is
just
a sort of the sensitivity of the
sticks
I feel like it does need a little
bit
of sort of customization to be able
to
really get into it good sweet spot
but
it's not bad also what am I doing
here
so
should you pick up the GPD when -
well
it's a little bit more complicated
than
a lot of videos on one hand even
though
yeah it's a little bit of a weird
concept
then when actually pulls it off
pretty
well the biggest downside is
price
so it's 650 dollars on IndieGoGo
right
now and somewhere north of $800
when
it goes for full retail sale the
GPD
went to is for a very specific
person
for everyone else may interest
you
and something called the Nintendo
switch
and if you pick up a switch you
can
use all the money you save to sign
