The Author's Experience with the Gaming Tablet

As I held the gaming tablet in my hands, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. This device promised to deliver high-performance gaming on-the-go, and I was eager to put it through its paces. With its sleek design and rugged build, this tablet seemed like the perfect companion for anyone looking to take their gaming experience to the next level.

One of the things that immediately caught my attention was the subtle texture of the metal used in its construction. The Rock Solid stand with a window cutout added a touch of elegance to an otherwise functional device. And when I peeked behind the kickstand, I saw a glimpse of what was inside - the m.2 SSD, battery, and Micro SD card slot were all neatly arranged and easy to access.

But what really set this tablet apart from your average consumer device was its willingness to blur the lines between functionality and form. For example, the inclusion of a camera on the back might seem unnecessary, but I appreciated the subtle nod to the device's creators. And let's not forget the USBC power cable with the display readout on the end - this little feature had been a game-changer in my everyday carry video, allowing me to see exactly what sort of wattage I was drawing from my charger.

The Author's Thoughts on the Device

As I continued to explore the gaming tablet, I couldn't help but feel that it was something special. The way it handled and responded to input felt almost...intuitive, as if it had been designed specifically with gamers in mind. And when I plugged it into an external GPU attachment, I saw a whole new world of possibilities unfold before my eyes - up to 120 FPS on Overwatch? It was simply amazing.

But what really sealed the deal for me was the device's willingness to adapt and evolve. Whether you wanted to use it as a tablet or plug it in to a desktop setup, this device seemed to have an intuitive way of accommodating your needs. And let's not forget its aesthetics - the subtle texture of the metal, the Rock Solid stand, the window cutout...it all came together to create a truly unique and compelling design.

The Author's Comparison with Other Devices

Now, I know what you're thinking: "How does this device compare to other gaming tablets on the market?" Well, let me tell you - I think it holds its own quite well. The Rog Flow Thin and Light laptop, for example, is a great device in its own right, but I think this tablet has something special going for it.

And then there's the issue of size and portability. Is this thing too big to carry around? No way - with its sleek design and rugged build, I can confidently say that this device is more than capable of keeping up with my active lifestyle. Whether I'm gaming on the go or just browsing the web at home, this tablet is right there with me.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enall right what's up MKBHD here welcome back to dope Tech and yes this is an Xbox series s fully portable in the shape of a laptop with a display on it and everything this is sent to me by the creators of the X screen and for a certain group of people this is really cool so obviously handheld gaming is having a bit of a moment right now I am also currently testing this little guy called the valve steam deck you might have heard about it uh leave a thumbs up if you're excited for that video but this thing well this is exactly what it looks like it's called The X screen for Xbox series s and it basically turns the console into a laptop form factor for your hardcore Gamers that want to play Xbox games but not just on the couch so basically all you have to do is plug it in by connecting this piece to the Xbox like a puzzle piece it has a USB plug and an HDMI plug in the back and you plug them in to line the whole thing up and then there's two bonus little thumb screws one on either side to help hold everything in place place and then you use literally the original cable that came with the Xbox and then boom the whole thing can light up just like this the screen turns on and you're gaming on the go now this screen it's not the highest end screen in the world on paper like the numbers it's an 11.6 in diagonal screen and it's 1080p it's an IPS at 60 HZ right but it matches the size of the Xbox obviously to achieve this form factor and then if you think about it 1080p right so that the screen you might be already gaming on for a console like this is 1080p but this is obviously way smaller so it's actually significantly sharper the higher pixel density and so you can sit much closer to it like I am here and so it's really just about convenience to match the size of the Xbox it's got the stereo speakers up top it also has an optional stand mode to help you get a better angle and it's got a Crosshair mode to help you better aim in shooter games if you're into that you basically just have to plug it in and light it up and it starts gaming so yeah you know it's not a 4K or 120 HZ screen or anything like that but I wasn't really expecting that much from something that plugs directly into an Xbox and you know what it still does have this nice matte finish which makes it easy to see in a variety of lighting situations it might face the audio gets surprisingly loud honestly it's easy to have a lot of fun playing this almost anywhere that you could fit a normal or super thick gaming laptop well except for the fact that you do pretty much always need to be plugged in I did see a video on the creators YouTube channel where they have this massive 99 Wat battery and so you could in theory bring it and the battery on a flight you know get that seat back trade table going but it lasts about 40 minutes so if you have the seat on a plane with no Outlet this isn't exactly great but overall you know aside from the rear USB and ethernet ports being blocked and the white color not quite exactly matching up the same as the Xbox plastic but being really close uh this thing is really well built and it's 250 bucks for the whole kit so so it's on Kickstarter right now that's basically the same price as the Xbox series s is going for it's a little bit pricey but I'll say if you have the outlet in the back of your car and you want to play Xbox games on the go like this is yeah this is the best way to actually do that until maybe of course Tesla finally ships that gaming feature they've been promising for so long so overall I'm going to give this 7 out of 10 if it's actually shipping and people are playing Xbox games on the go that's pretty dope all right these might be the strangest but coolest earbuds design I've ever seen these are called Sony link buds they're brand new you might have seen me tweet about them the other day and right away you can tell they're uh pretty different from normal earbuds you're seeing things correctly the earbud is a circle the part that actually goes into your ear is a circle I'll explain so a lot of the headphones we use right now have active noise cancellation but then a separate feature that they started adding more and more often which is some sort of transparency mode so uses the microphones around the earbud to pump in sound from the outside so you can walk around on the streets and still hear the cars around you or hear when your bus or train stop gets called so these well these are designed so you can always hear your environment around you even when you're wearing them so they have an 11 mm circular driver and a hole in the middle so when you put the earbuds in without playing any music you can still hear a lot of the outside world around you then when you play music well yeah it sounds like the headphones are on with a transparency mode now I found it's not actually as good as say airpods Pro because those microphones are actually amplifying your environment so with these you know if there's music playing you still hear a little bit of what's around you but you can actually drown it out if you turn the volume up loud enough but I really have been impressed with how well these actually work I mean clearly the physics makes sense there's a hole through it but yeah now you're letting in constantly a non-adjustable amount of sound from the outside world so it's great for listening to music while cars are around you or on public transportation so you can still hear when your bus stop gets haul or something like that it's consistent so then the idea with these is even when you're done using them done listening to music or taking a phone call or whatever it is you're doing you can just leave them in your ears because you'll have transparency mode you'll have the ability to hear what's going on around you all the time even when the earbuds are in and it doesn't take extra battery power to do that so now you're just having a normal conversation now the other thing you may have noticed is these earbuds are pretty tiny like the buds themselves are very small and the recycled plastic case they fit in as a result is also very pocketable but the downside is that there's no space on the buds themselves for media controls anywhere but that's where the second crazy feature comes into play you can adjust volume by tapping the skin around your ears so the the Sony Connect app lets you program a double tap or a triple tap of your own skull on the right or left hand side and these earbuds are sensitive enough of their own position that you can map a double tap on the right hand side to be volume a double tap on the left hand side could be skipping tracks or even opening Google assistant or accepting a phone call it's awesome overall as crazy as these are they are surprisingly usable they're 179 bucks um small case no wireless charging but it does have USB type-c and it gives you a file hour total battery life with these sound quality is solid if anything it's lacking a little bit of Base cuz it's not getting into your ear like normal earbuds might but yeah if you can get the touch controls to work well they're finicky sometimes but you got to tap like right up next to your ear uh they're pretty cool I'm going to give these an eight out of 10 okay this next product I know is absolutely not meant for me but I can still respect it anyway this is a super high-end gaming tablet and I just need you to know that this is real and this is something that actually exists so this is the Asus Rog flow z13 this thing has an up to 14 core Intel Core I9 processor a GeForce RTX 350 TI graphics card a 1080p 120 HZ display or a 4K 60 HZ option up to 1 tbte of m.2 SSD storage and a vapor chamber cooling solution on the back so yes it's a full-fledged gaming computer running Windows you can think of it kind of like a Surface Pro but just way more gaming focused now I can't imagine battery life will be killer on something like this most of the time but hey gaming laptops don't typically have amazing battery life either so that's not a huge surprise I'm just I'm really into this design though the Aesthetics of how they managed to shove all that power into a tablet size package it's got some thickness to it of course and it's definitely not like weight but you know it's a reasonable layout there's a power button and volume rockers on the right side along with a combo microphone headphone jack and a speaker at the bottom and then there's a single USB type-c Thunderbolt port on the left side along with this labeled xgm Port which is going to let you plug in different external gpus there's pins and magnets at the bottom for docking a keyboard accessory just like the surface and there's no ports up top but just heat dissipation just heat sinks heat radiating out the top and look at that LEDs PC B and the angular cutout in the kickstand that is a really nice touch and I'm not just saying that cuz it's red and black although that certainly helps but they've made as many clever incisions for ventilation and angular gamer aesthetic as possible and they seem to have gotten away with it now the 3050 TI isn't the highest end graphics card in the world I get that if you want to play The Witcher 3 or cyberpunk or something like that on high settings you're going to need more power probably something in a laptop form factor but that's why this thing can plug into those external GPU attachments the same stuff that the Rog flow thin and light laptop could plug into cuz this is meant to actually game on you should definitely watch Dave 2D's full video on it he gets 120 FPS on this tablet in OverWatch it's a tablet it's hilarious I'll link it below so the thing is a tablet when you want it to be but can plug into this rogg XG mobile Graphics doc which gives you up to an RTX 3080 basically you're buying a gaming laptop in two parts if that makes sense but I keep coming back to everything I like about just the back of this tablet the subtle texture of the metal The Rock Solid stand with this window cutout and under the kickstand there's a bunch of outlines giving you a Peak at what's inside so the m.2 SSD the battery and of course an opening to a Micro SD card slot there's also a set of coordinates on the back which if you Google them appears to direct you to asus's headquarters in Taiwan best part though they still included the camera on the back cuz somewhere out there there's somebody who would spend a bunch of money there isn't even a price for this thing yet but a bunch of money probably on a super high-end gaming tablet but still would take pictures with it anyway I'm giving this thing like a n out of 10 just for the aesthetic I'm a huge fan but then last thing I want to mention this USBC power cable with the display readout on the end has been awesome so basically ever since I showed it in my everyday carry video I've been carrying it and it's lowkey just like nerdy pretty fun to just be able to plug in and see exactly what sort of wattage you're getting from your charger on any device you know we always talk about Peak charging versus actual overall average charging rates this is so obviously unnecessary in Overkill but being able to see exactly what type of power you're drawing at any given moment maybe it's 30 Watts maybe it's 22 maybe it's your laptop you're pulling over a 100 from low battery I don't know it's just so entertaining now the thing about this every time I link it anywhere it sells out so I'm trying to do my best to keep an updated Link in the description for wherever I can find it in stock I'll do that again with this video but no promises if you want this you'll probably have to act pretty fast good luck okay really truly last but not least as a reward for making it this far into the video giveaway time what better way to cap it off so I'm teaming up with Aaron from Mr who's the boss who just recently hit 10 million subscribers huge shout out to him and congrats it's incredible Milestone and we're also going to be teaming up with dbrand the logistics Kings in Tech that make this all possible and
