**A Gamer's Review of the Portable Gaming Machine**
Okay so out of the box you do need to charge it up and that is exactly what this is an open box how would you get it when you get it and that tells me everything the power is uh not going to do anything until you charge the unit with your beautiful USB-C charger it's got a nice bit of weight to it this is a 5 volt 3 amp power supply so that gives you the idea of what kind of power you're pulling here not a lot at all so for example a car with a good USB plug-in that develops like my car will do 3 amp would do charging justice to this no issues so that is quite the nice thing to know um and it's big i mean there's no doubt it's big even with my switch modded controllers on here it's still uh bigger but i mean at the same time i expect that right this is a Ryzen computer in here and that's what i want to see i want to see a bunch of stuff where um what is it like under load what is the heat like what's the battery life like um is it playable like sure we know it can play games but can it play games so i normally play on my big rig and this is a portable let's not say version of it but in a way it's a portable laptop with some balls under the hood so we're going to do a video i'm going to do a full review on this in a normal gamer's day and what that means is i'm going to review this the simple way and let you know what as a casual gamer or a gamer would like it to be and is it good for that not going to review it as say j's two cents or linus tech tips and they pick it apart that is not my goal here if this is good it's good if it sucks it sucks what i want to know is can i enjoy playing games i normally play on my pc on the go and that will be the review and that's what i think the real gamers are looking for so guys please like share subscribe and uh you don't want to miss that so i'm gonna like i said full-on review about it and i noticed it doesn't seem to have a hdmi out or anything like that i guess it's purely designed to be what it is a portable and again i don't know if it's a multi-port on the USB-C either so that could also be a video out so until i get that done all we have now is just i like the feel it's got some decent weight to it in fact let's check that out okay so we're gonna use the box that it came with because that's the only way i'm going to get the weight to sink properly here and we're going to clear we're going to pick pounds like i wanted okay so now we're in pounds and we're going to place the switch 1.09 pounds with the controllers on it to try and make it the same size his turn i don't want to scratch it so 1.78 pounds so we're almost a pound heavier than the switch with the extra controllers so it got a bit of weight to it but it doesn't feel horrible you know like yeah it's got some weight it feels uh a bit bigger but at the same time i don't know what it would be like in long place so that's something i want to find out too where i hold this here it's lighter i can play for a while even this gets on my nerves we're going to find out that if you're playing for a while the fatigue because it's heavier do i need to be leaning a certain way to play uh and to enjoy it and we will record or i will record me playing so you see that i'm playing on this unit and what i think of it and go from there so guys please like share subscribe you don't want to miss the full test from a gamer reviewing a gaming machine in the simple way a gamer would thank you guys till next time i hope you enjoyed looking over the concept the idea of this machine
WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enokay welcome back guys today you see batteries here looks like a laptop huge laptop battery it's got to be a laptop battery no guys this is a brand new steam deck and from what i understand this is the highest end model i'm not 100 we'll figure that out but today we're going to unbox it i'm going to give you my thoughts over the build quality and what i actually think of this item as a alternative to a pc on the go let's get it open check it out now i want to say this video is brought to you by rob uh i say that because rob actually uh brought this to me he bought it and lent it to me and hasn't even broke the box to see the box i gotta say man good friend good friend thanks rob all right guys so we opened the box i think to the box oh maybe not maybe this is the box so you have attention attention attention attention attention plugin your games are going places now i get it because it's portable so right off the bat we get this box here and there's a box on the box on the box let's see oh gotta open that too i love it when he buys stuff and then i get to play with it first it almost seems unfair not that i'm complaining so in here of course we're gonna have what i expected the usbc power adapter and some instructions for that i'm not too concerned but we will need that when i go to do the review on it and we take a look at the overall gameplay so now let's take this out okay guys so here we have again your games are going places you see that yeah i i wanted to film this yesterday but i didn't because i wanted to put the 4k camera on this even though i'm going to upload in 1080p i found my 1080p camera by the time you do the upload it looks more 720 and it's driving me nuts so i had to get some new plates so i can move my camera around without having to undo plates all the time so anyway without further ado let's open this bad boy up when we figure out there it is so it's one of those nice you always like that sound no matter what this channel can afford stuff like this man i need people that got money to get it for me all right so nice little sleeve here so you pull your sleeve off i'm so excited right now i'm like a kid in a candy store so right off the bat the case has a hardness to it so it's definitely protecting it on the outside you have a handle and you have looks like a little sealy bag of some sort and some sort of a strap which may allow it to go on your headrest or something i'm not quite sure what the strap is for but i could see you using it on the headrest or something like that it's on the back of course that's what it looks like here it's molded it like i say it's it's a hard kind of like my quadcopter case um and then you have the valve you know thingamajiggy right here oh i think i got to take that and break it yeah that's not going to open unless i do that so it was just a little plastic thing sand valve or whatever anyway nothing major but gave you that little key tag kind of thing so to speak so without doing that of course you can't open up these zippers so oh boy oh boy it's like a kid in a candy store this you're like the the god music look at this guys the size of the screen okay everything feels good from you know just feeling the the buttons so i'm just going to lay this aside for a second because i want to see oh i guess this is a uh maybe a screen protector or something maybe it just kind of softly just lays on there it looks like it's the same size that's a possibility um but we're just gonna lay it aside and look at the case real quick so you'll see here it's got all the you know pressed in decently thick the case feels good it doesn't feel like a piece of junk so we'll give them a plus on that quickly looking at this and sorry if you see a light or something flashing in here like whoop there it is oh there it is so you got two touch pads right here is what i'm assuming you have your sticks which feel good they do feel good okay so we're just gonna you know give a little and you have your it looks like a folder button or mouse click i'm not 100 you have steam here which is a button and then you have another button right here i'm not 100 what these buttons are until i do a full review on it so i'm not going to make guesses uh you have your regular joystick stuff here which is great you have nice oh you have very nice bumpers like very nice and then there's one here so feels good i mean this feels way better than my nintendo switch there's no doubt about that and this is also bigger well maybe not now with my big controllers added to my switch but yeah so now you also have buttons here okay so there's buttons right here as well i guess they'll be your like r1 r2 r3 r4 reprogrammable or whatever the case because i mean it is a pc therefore it should be reprogrammable uh here i'm going to guess is the ventilation right there as we can see i'd like to say it's metal but i think it's just a really nice plastic okay so on top we have another vent right here so this is probably an intake vent which would make sense because when you're holding it the uh being a pc guy this would suck your air in and then this would suck your air out on top here you have volume controls headphone jack usbc and a power button and your vent so there you go for the top nothing crazy and we want to see the bottom and you have a micro sd slot right here as for fit feel and finish right now it does feel really really nice but i'm not going to say that this is the coolest device in the world until i actually start playing on it so what i wanted to do in this video was get a feel for it get a look at it see what it's like i'm going to see if it has any power fire up for the first time doesn't look like it does okay so out of the box you do need to charge it up and that is exactly what this is an open box how would you get it when you get it and that tells me everything the power is uh not going to do anything until you charge the unit with your beautiful usbc charger it's got a nice bit of weight to it this is a 5 volt 3 amp power supply so that gives you the idea of what kind of power you're pulling here not a lot at all so for example a car with a good usb plug-in that develops like my car will do 3 amp would do charging justice to this no issues so that is quite the nice thing to know um and it's big i mean there's no doubt it's big even with my switch modded controllers on here it's still uh bigger but i mean at the same time i expect that right this is a keep in mind this is a ryzen computer in here and that's what i want to see i want to see a bunch of stuff where um what is it like under load what is the heat like what's the battery life like um is it playable like sure we know it can play games but can it play games so i normally play on my big rig and this is a portable let's not say version of it but in a way it's a portable laptop with some balls under the hood so we're going to do a video i'm going to do a full review on this in a normal gamers day and what that means is i'm going to review this the simple way and let you know what as a casual gamer or a gamer would like it to be and is it good for that not going to review it as say j's two cents or linus tech tips and they pick it apart that is not my goal here if this is good it's good if it sucks it sucks what i want to know is can i enjoy playing games i normally play on my pc on the go and that will be the review and that's what i think the real gamers are looking for so guys please like share subscribe and uh you don't want to miss that so i'm gonna like i said full-on review about it and i noticed it doesn't seem to have a hdmi out or anything like that i guess it's purely designed to be what it is a portable and again i don't know if it's a multi-port on the usbc either so that could also be a video out so until i get that done all we have now is just i like the feel it's got some decent weight to it in fact let's check that out okay so we're gonna use the box that it came with because that's the only way i'm going to get the beat to sink properly here and we're going to clear we're going to pick pounds like i wanted okay so now we're in pounds and we're going to place the switch 1.09 pounds with the controllers on it to try and make it the same size his turn i don't want to scratch it so 1.78 pounds so we're almost a pound heavier than the switch with the extra controllers so it got a bit of weight to it and but it doesn't feel horrible you know like yeah it's got some weight it feels uh a bit bigger but at the same time i don't know what it would be like in long place so that's something i want to find out too where i hold this here it's lighter i can play for a while even this gets on my nerves we're going to find out that if you're playing for a while the fatigue because it's heavier do i need to be leaning a certain way to play uh and to enjoy it and we will record or i will record me playing so you see that i'm playing on this unit and what i think of it and go from there so guys please like share subscribe you don't want to miss the full test from a gamer reviewing a gaming
