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 up for Squarespace together Squarespace is the ultimate way to build yourself a Nintendo switch fanpage or will pretty much anything else and in case you don't have a Ken to build a website for you Squarespace makes it super simple with their easy drag-and-drop templates to not only be able to create a really custom looking website but something that's going to be really easy to build Squarespace makes everything super simple with their all-in-one platform there's no need to install patch or upgrade anything ever and in case you ever have any issues they have awesome 24/7 customer service it's simple to get up and running with a custom domain as well so if you already have one such as Austin immense calm it's very simple to port it to Squarespace but if you don't already have a domain if you sign up for a year you're actually going to get one for free included so if you were ready to make your next move with Squarespace head over to squarespace.com slash Austin to get 10% off your first domain or website purchase anyway thank you guys so much for watching and I will catch you in the next one
