so it seems that VR is really taking foothold in the gaming industry and companies are now trying to branch out into doing something really cool and innovative and I can't wait to see some final products come to the market huge thanks to our Computex sponsors for sending us out here shout out to Nvidia fantex NCIX and msi behind me is the msi backpack pc IV already backpack enclosure that is full metal it's red keeping up with msi theme the specifications are at 9 GTX 980 and i7 processor at 28 cell battery to give us 1.5 hours of playtime with VR the weird thing is though the GTX 1080 just came out I'm sure that's like 2x time performance over 980 in VR applications so I'm sure that when we see almost like a final close to production process gtx 980 will be installed now the cool thing about this whole idea of wearing a backpack PC on your on your back everything connected into it is having no wires on your feet so you can move around you can be free you can set up a larger area and that's really cool the whole idea is expanding our VR freedom is awesome especially since all the cables are slightly shorter in the back so you don't have to worry about sort of when you move around it's not going to be tangling anywhere and I find that that's pretty awesome the backpack itself very comfortable surprising that you know doesn't feel like I'm wearing a PC on my back it is metal toe so perhaps the the actual aluminum casing is part of the heatsink to cool the whole thing unfortunately we're not able to see what's inside of it like but I'm sure it's going to be some engineering that goes behind it to perhaps make it even more compact but it is very light already and I'm excited design-wise it's typical ms I've read some ventilation holes everywhere on the sides we have little pockets for the HTC 5 controllers which is nice we haven't seen that on other VR backpacks that feature dedicated pockets for all the things like that and availability is still unknown it's a very proof-of-concept to see how the public will react and I don't know and so in conclusion this whole VR mobile VR hardware and wearables sort of merging together is very exciting but you have to consider that VR applications and just VR experiences that the proper are quite expensive you add in something like this that is most likely going to be proprietary what proprietary hardware that you perhaps will not be able to move around and can't install your system your own system inside a backpack like that is quite limiting but it's very interesting in the for all you who have a VR headset would you consider doing a backpack mobile PC for of your VR applications let us know definitely interested to hear the input from people that are definitely you know into that types of gaming segment I'm to meet you hi Rick max thank so much for watching and we'll see you in the next video
