today I'm going to show you what might be the world's smallest laptop it's from a company called gamepad digital as you can see on the side it says pocket so they're trying to imply that you could fit this thing into your pocket you'd have to have a rather large pocket and I don't know how comfortable that would be nonetheless this thing was incredibly popular in fact it is raised I believe close to 3.5 million dollars on IndieGoGo so people are obviously interested in tiny laptops so let's go ahead jump inside the box and see what this thing is all about so this looks like the power brick which you can already tell it's about the size of some quick-charge bricks for smartphones and you can see here that you have a USB type-c connector okay cool also in here a USBC cable look at that look at that little guy it's like slightly bigger Nintendo DS XL whoa made out of aluminum a solid aluminium brick there now the version I have I believe is running Windows but they do sell a version with Linux as well and the price is somewhere around 500 bucks which sounds kind of expensive for something so tiny but maybe that's the reason you want it so far first impressions here on build quality very it's almost MacBook Eska that's kind of funny look at that look at this little guy it also happens to have a touchscreen so you can reach up and immediately interface with it all right so as mentioned USB 3 standard headphone output HDMI output of the micro HDMI variety and the USB type-c connector which will also be used to charge the unit let's go ahead and boot this up alright so it's loading up Windows right now Windows 10 it's not the brightest screen I've ever seen you can tell like with the white background you can kind of get a better sense for how bright it's gonna be so the display is actually 1920 by 1200 and that's in a 7 inch form factor alright so here's some of the specs on this unit specifically it has a quad-core 1.6 gigahertz Intel Atom processor 8 gigs of ram 128 gigabytes of storage this is Gorilla Glass 3 on the display I mentioned before it has a of cooling the wait is under half a kilogram at point four eight zero and they're claiming a 12-hour battery life with this lithium polymer battery that's inside all right let's load up a video here and get a sense for how it sounds and what the video looks like I'll load up and unbox therapy video let's just make sure I'm running it at a high resolution that's a pretty nice looking display right there now let's go ahead and hear the speaker while we're at it seems to be muted right I mean the speaker works but oh my goodness it's it's quite tinny and of course you have the headphone jack you've also got bluetooth on here so that said though I am impressed with the visual here the actual video itself at 1080p I mean it's it's probably above my expectations for something so small so here's the thing you're probably thinking okay so it has a nice display it's got good battery life so it's a little maybe it is maybe I can't I can just watch videos on the go but then why do I need to I mean might I already got a phone it has a huge display on and I can watch videos on there but I think the difference here is that this form factor allows it to be propped up by default no special equipment just immediately in a form factor where you can enjoy it while you're eating lunch whatever it is that you do on an airplane you have limited space pop this thing open and because of the hinge you can get the exact right angle to enjoy your content now of course if that was all it was you wouldn't have this keyboard you wouldn't have a full PC so I think what's happening here maybe it's a multimedia focus for someone but can they get a little bit of work done I suppose that's possible but with a keyboard this tiny I'm not sure how that's gonna work out so let me do a quick typing test here now one thing that's strange me you do your hands bump into each other this little pointer thing obviously nowhere near as effective as a trackpad now there's no room for a track but how could they possibly have gotten a trackpad in maybe you could carry around a tiny little mouse that's possible and then of course you have the aspect of the touchscreen I could reach up and touch it but that seems so weird on such a small screen look at this my finger is bigger than any possible touch point let me like look at that you have to be pretty precise alright let's check out this pocket ability real quick going to my left pocket here regular pair of shorts oh my goodness it's gone it is surely pocketable now the question is but I use this just kind of straight out of the pocket with my thumbs that's something I was curious about that backspace lines up pretty well I say I wanted to type unbox therapy you and Bo X I can still thumb tight so maybe the real move there is to just use touch and your thumbs and now it's a truly portable device Wow I can reach everywhere in there look at that they've really surprised me on the fit and finish plus it technically does fit in your pocket and I can't say that I've ever put a laptop in my pocket I don't think I'm gonna shift too many people away from a dedicated laptop as a whole but hey this might be useful to you plus remember the power brick is tiny too it's like a smartphone power brick that's your whole travel setup right there plus let's be honest your phone is probably already USB type-c so now it's one charger for both there are sacrifices you're making here in exchange for mega portability for something that they've said is pocketable full Windows 10 I suppose on its own it's kind of impressive there are plenty of things you can do with Windows I mean you do almost anything with Windows and that's kind of a step up on the other things that might fit in your pocket like a mobile device a smartphone and so on there are some things that you're still incapable of doing on those platforms as far as set of functions that you could fit in your pockets this might represent it that said you might be sitting there thinking ok it's around 500 bucks I mean I could get a laptop for 500 bucks and yes I have to carry a backpack possibly or a laptop sleeve but I'm gonna type better I'm gonna get a bigger display that I can watch things on I'm gonna get better sound so yes it's for a very specific group of people who need ultimate portability and possibly the versatility offered up by Windows alright so thank you very much for sticking around to the end of the video today we have a special segment I don't know if this goes over well we might continue this segment inside a Q&A section where you guys can ask me questions about anything I guess may be related to a previous video which was recently uploaded or maybe related to nothing at all that I've ever done and I don't know it's up to you you ask a question I answer it so I went out on Twitter last night and I said hey at the end of tomorrow's upload I will be including some of your questions I'll probably pick I don't know three and then I'll answer them and maybe we'll do it all over again if it goes well so here we go let me load up my Twitter here and see what some of those questions were all right here's one from Zig our Trivedi what do you think your audience's age group is now this one's actually easy to answer because I have analytics available to me where I can check and see what the age group of viewers is and the majority are between the ages of 18 and 30 somewhere in that range and mostly male in fact I think the viewership is close to 95% male so if you're not in that group if you're one of the five percent of females watching say hello in the comments down below you're part of a very special group and the 5% thank you okay here's another one our H L asks what was your first smartphone and this is kind of tough because I'm not really sure what constitutes a smartphone but I did have a Palm Treo I don't know if you remember that device it had the keyboard on it it was kind of like a blackberry the interface was similar but of course was a palm product had that antenna that stood up at the top now at the time they're only there's a handful of applications none of which were really that great but it did sort of feel like the future and then after that believe it or not I had an Android device before an iPhone I had the very first galaxy s maybe there was an iPhone in between there okay here's a question from CES prinkle or C sprinkle and the question is what is the most mind-blowing product you've ever had on your channel this is obviously tough because there's been so many I don't know maybe like 1,500 videos or something like that it's really hard to pinpoint over the entire period of the channel the most mind-blowing but there have been many and a couple come to mind immediately especially a fairly recent one which was the DVLA phantom speaker if you haven't seen that video you definitely need to go and check it out it's a Bluetooth speaker but the very unusual design it's about this big can sit on a table and can linked up to others it's very spensive but it will blow you away if you sit this closer you just like how is that sound coming out of that package it's true it is truly mind-blowing then the other one that comes to mind is a little bit older it was the unspeakable cup this is a cup it's like a regular travel mug it has some technology on the bottom that stops it from tipping over you can slap the thing all right you can knock the thing of course if you really want to knock it over you can but it's very difficult to do so certainly if it was accidental it would likely stay standing up so if you have a hot coffee in there if you look if you like to have a drink near your computer or something like this you can knock it over at the time I was amazed you should go check about that video as well if you want to see me attempt to knock over a nun spill of a cup I end up just slapping anyway I don't want to spoil it go check that out alright so there you go a little trial run of the end of the video Q&A now you guys can ask me whatever you want you can ask me about this video the last video any video any personal question is completely up to you and you can leave them here in the comments of this video that you're watching right now because I'm gonna come back to this video before filming the next one and answer some more questions at the end of the next video that's a lot of words there but I promise that I'll do it and hopefully you guys enjoy this segment if you do leave a thumbs up down below just to let me know as well and there you go a little bit more dialogue back and forth hopefully I can give you guys some useful info in this segment of the video
