hey what's up my fellow youtubers welcome to another episode here on tech of tomorrow now consoles they are pretty cool I think for racing games for me the best thing about consoles has always been for playing racing games because the controls and everything worked absolutely great for that the games are cool you never had to really worry about having the you know absolute best graphics in the world when it's a racing game and I had a lot of fun doing that but when it came to playing first-person shooters triple-a titles and other stuff like that there just always seemed to be a big time lag plus the fact that even though like an Xbox or a PlayStation is cool and you can now sometimes even use keyboards and mouse and you know play the first-person shooter games better than you used to be able to be able to do but you still can't cut my frog removal today some things you just can't do like let's just face it you can't edit videos you really can't check your email and just feel like you're in that comfy computer zone when you're using a console so I want to like build a little system that could actually be competitive with one of those products but be much smaller so like today's video is basically me trying to put together what I would feel would be a console killer and them at the end of the video I don't know what I know if I really succeeded I can't say at all that what we did today is a console killer I think that the concept of what we did is really cool we have a little ads Rock a 300 it's a little tiny tiny what you guys will see it's really tiny it's really not much bigger than my hand and about this thick it's um if you've ever seen like 1/2 1/2 1/2 length power supply those really small power supplies like it seemed like the four fifties and stuff like that it's really about that size so putting parts inside of this really super duper tiny thing and trying to make it into the smallest gaming system that was kind of my goal but being with the limitations that there were with this I ran to a couple of problems and with price started rising up and up and up I was a psychic oh my god I had to look you know alright how much really is you know Xbox s or an Xbox X you know I mean do I want to spend you know 300 bucks do I want to spend 400 bucks you know how deep do I want to get into this and then look at those factors so there are some cool things about I think I really do prefer myself the Xbox over the PlayStation I don't know why I just have my account and everything it just seems to work much easier for me and you know we're all conjunctive together and working well so I like that environment my playstation the only thing I really do on my playstation is play Rocksmith and that's really about it so let's check out real quick this little tiny system and then after we see the parts in it and we talk about the price and that stuff which I'm gonna say right now I wasn't really all that thrilled with the overall price it's gonna be completely awesome that's kind of like what I feel kind is the caveat the Achilles heel about this but we'll get into that in just a second real quick though let's jump in let's just take a look at what this thing looks like and everything now first off getting inside of this system and working on it is really really easy it's simply four screws you pull out a sliding tray and voila you get access to everything that you need now like I said before the only caveat about this thing is no room for a video card no room for regular hard drive really no room for Jack diddly it's kind of almost like what you see is what you get other than the parts that are inside of it now this particular build has an AMD Rison 520 400 Gina this particular processor also has what they call the Radeon rx Vega 11 graphics and that is the graphic engine that we are using in all of our tests today so take that into consideration guys look I can't fit no video card in this bad boy now the disc meeting itself the a 300 it cost a hundred and forty nine dollars it has a hundred and twenty watt 19 volt adapter for its power unit and they also have Intel versions on Amazon for 160 and 130 dollars you can do different builds now as far as your connections go on the a300 on the front it's really simple you have your headphone you have your mic jacks you have a USB 3 and USB type-c connection as well as in the top you see the power button on the rear we see the land port USB 2.0 port USB 3.0 port we see a VGA port now even though the American market doesn't really use this connection in the Asian market this is still used quite widely we also see an HDMI port a display port and then a connection for the power brick with space being a minimum you can't even use standard memory you have to use a laptop so dim I'm the best price we could find with some Tim tech Hynix I see 8 gigabyte kit ddr4 for 50 bucks um I actually have memory from my Mac that I pulled out of my old Mac and just put it inside of here but this memory is probably a better price also like I said no room for really any type of a hard drive other than an m2 I use the XP gxx 8200 and this is a 480 gigabyte bad boy but it's very very fast this solid-state drive is pretty much everything it's your boot drive and your storage now obviously with a little research and a few part changes you could probably build this system a little bit cheaper probably results will vary just a little bit but the big caveat about this system is that all these parts are about 460 dollars now with 460 dollars I'm sure you could find yourself a nice little mini system that has an AMD rx 480 in it you know a different CPU and everything else the thing about it is it's not going to be small the big thing around this is that it's super duper tiny I mean you guys saw this thing is so tiny tiny tiny and I've decided that since it's so tiny that after we do this video with it me and Anthony are good together and we're gonna make some kind of cool mod because we haven't done that in years we've been talking about it and talking about it and talking about it and then with this little tiny system it's time to build something cool I wish we could build some kind of robot around it that would be really cool maybe I'll make a video will talk about it and come up with some ideas and we'll let you guys vote on which one of those ideas you would think maybe the uber coolest now with that said though let's jump in and let's check out this in the Gaming environment now you guys I'll tell you right now all the settings that we're showing you on the low settings and they're at 1080 because this is not gonna run 4k we know that an Xbox X will run 4k but these run between 400 and 500 dollars depending on their model like I said you can change some of the parts out here you can get Windows for cheap you could make this system probably down around 400 bucks if you really compressed it down so let's jump in and let's check out how it does game though as you guys can see doom looks pretty cool almost 30 frames per second I thought it was totally playable I saw no choppiness whatsoever and the graphics were really decent in my opinion now the things that I think that are much better however about having a PC over an Xbox X PlayStation or anything else is the fact that if you want to you can do things like edit your video if you're making a video you could definitely edit it on this computer it may not be the fastest thing on the block but it will work and you can do it you can also stream and you can do a bunch of other things that you're not going to be able to do on an Xbox or a Playstation and that's a good thing and that's where I think it wins however I think that overall the fluidity of everything on the way that the Xbox X is with its 4k capabilities and all that stuff I found one for about the exact same price and if I was only going to be doing something that was probably strictly gaming it would be a really hard choice for me because this system does game pretty good and it's probably one of the smallest gaming systems I have ever seen I mean if there was just some way to be able to put a little mini video card in there and boost a few things up it would be really cool and hopefully we'll see that in the future with other stuff but as it is right now you know the CPU is an AMD CPU and even though it does have you know rx you know graphics on it it's all on chip you know what I mean it's all on chip it's sharing the memory and everything with the system I mean maybe putting 16 gigabytes of memory inside of the little system might have made it a little bit faster probably not that much but it probably would have cuz you know with Windows 10 it's probably better to have a little bit more and if you wanted to do that it'd be still a little bit more expensive but if you want to be able to play games have something that has a totally small footprint I mean this thing is super small it'll fit anywhere you hook up a wireless keyboard stuff like that and the CPU even in a full load was only 77 Celsius so it really never even got that uber hot even we were fully gaming with this bad boy so at the end of the day I think as a mini system and the smallest system around for gaming it's a thumbs up it beats the Xbox one as I think but it doesn't beat the brand new Xbox you know one X and I'm saying because that one does 4k and I think you can do strictly gaming a little bit better you know on that particular device so let me hear what you guys have to say like usual all the parts for this build everything that we did will be down there below that like button please let me hear you guys's comments at the end of the day but my opinion isn't this thing though if you want something that has the very smallest space you want to be able to play your games and you don't really care you know about playing the best triple-a titles especially if you play stuff you know that's going to be looking down type stuff like RPGs you know you're a Warcraft type of person this system will play those games like butter the only thing it's not gonna play like that are gonna be the super duper high and triple-a titled but you can see doom which i think is one of the coolest games around is still playable at almost 30 frames per second and looks great you've been watching TECA tomorrow if you're not something like what you see hey we'd love to see you sub to the channel and if you don't have notifications Hey turn them on we'll see what happens sometimes I'll let you know sometimes they don't peace out see you guys in the channel
