Transcripts

00:00

- Today, I am using Google

00:01

to help me build my next gaming setup.

00:03

The catch?

00:04

I am doing this entirely blindly.

00:06

I'm gonna put some search results in

00:08

and buy whatever it spits out.

00:11

Why is one of the trending searches, "Nose picking?"

00:14

(Austin laughs)

00:15

Apparently, Alzheimer's is caused by nose picking?

00:19

Google, you're blowing my mind right now.

00:23

Ah!

00:23

No, no, stop.

00:25

Stop it.

00:26

I'm gonna go shopping tab.

00:27

What do we have for Austin Evans shopping?

00:28

Austin Evans guitar tabs.

00:31

What the hell is this?

00:33

Someone took one of my thumbnails

00:34

and turned it into guitar tabs?

00:36

(table thumping)

00:39

Oh, this is kind of cool.

00:39

You can go on drop.com and get my key cap.

00:42

Look at that, the Austin key cap available for $5.

00:45

I did this for a charity thing quite a while ago

00:47

and apparently, Drop still have some, so,

00:49

you can get yourself some artisanal Austin Evans key caps

00:52

for five bucks.

00:53

Gaming keyboard.

00:54

So, why is it that when I type in gaming keyboard,

00:58

I'm getting these weird, like one-handed,

01:01

little like, WoW pads?

01:02

A Cooler Master sneaker gaming PC for $3,400?

01:08

What the hell?

01:10

Microphone for gaming?

01:13

A MRSDY?

01:14

Oh, God, that is so bad.

01:16

Oh, look at it, it's like fake RGB.

01:18

That's like a dragon claw for $20.

01:21

This thing is gonna sound terrible.

01:24

Budget gaming monitor.

01:26

A KOORUI?

01:28

A KOORUI?

01:30

That's a hundred hertz.

01:31

I heard that anything above 60 is great.

01:34

For $70?

01:36

I think that sounds like exactly the monitor I need.

01:38

Cheap gaming console.

01:40

Ah, DKOldies!

01:42

It's DKOldies all the way down!

01:44

No!

01:45

No!

01:46

(Austin laughs)

01:48

$120 for a Game Boy.

01:51

(Austin laughs)

01:52

We got a lot of stuff for our gaming setup right now.

01:54

I think it's time to place a large number of orders

01:57

and build the Google approved gaming setup.

02:00

And we're gonna find out,

02:02

if you just trust the Big G, what you get.

02:06

There are a few pieces of tech

02:08

that are indispensable once you get used to them,

02:10

and an electric toothbrush is absolutely one of them.

02:12

So, when Laifen reached out to sponsor this video,

02:14

I was very excited because the Laifen Wave is, no joke,

02:17

the best electric toothbrush I've ever used.

02:20

That might not sound all that impressive,

02:22

but once you go and experience what the Wave can do,

02:25

you will legitimately be impressed.

02:26

I am sure of it.

02:27

I picked this thing up and first of all,

02:29

the unboxing experience is really nice, very premium,

02:32

especially considering the toothbrush is not ultimately,

02:34

all that expensive.

02:35

But then when you actually use it,

02:37

you'll notice that there's a lot of tech

02:38

and a lot of sort of thoughtful design here.

02:40

So, take the motor, for example.

02:42

This has a six watt motor,

02:43

three times more powerful

02:45

than the standard leading toothbrush.

02:47

But because you have these super soft bristles,

02:49

it means they will do a great job of cleaning your teeth

02:51

without hurting your gums.

02:52

On top of that, there's so much involved

02:55

with the actual toothbrush itself.

02:57

Down to something as simple as there's very little vibration

02:59

that gets transferred to your hand,

03:00

which is something that feels really nice.

03:02

The fact that the toothbrush itself

03:03

is not quite as tall as a lot of other options,

03:05

which means it's a lot easier to travel with.

03:07

The really nice little magnetic charging cable for it.

03:10

On top of that, the replacement heads

03:11

are very reasonably priced, unlike most toothbrushes.

03:15

You're talking $10 for a three pack, or $17 for a six pack.

03:19

That is an outright bargain.

03:20

The Laifen Wave comes in three different configurations.

03:24

There's the standard ABS plastic, there's an aluminum,

03:26

and there's also a stainless steel.

03:28

The Laifen Wave is, by far,

03:30

the best electric toothbrush I've ever used.

03:32

And if you have ever used an electric toothbrush,

03:35

you'll know the difference as soon

03:36

as you pick this thing up.

03:37

So, if you're interested in learning more,

03:39

definitely be sure to go check out the Laifen Wave

03:40

in the links in the description.

03:42

And huge thank you to Laifen for sponsoring this video,

03:44

and making my mouth feel like it never felt before.

03:48

All right, my friends, let us see exactly what beautiful,

03:52

beautiful items I've gotten thanks to the Big G.

03:56

(cash register dings)

03:56

First up, we have my SkyTech Gaming PC,

03:59

which was the result I got when I searched

04:02

for cheap gaming PC.

04:04

Now, I vaguely feel like I've heard of SkyTech in the past.

04:09

Maybe, I've looked at one of their systems a while ago.

04:13

To my knowledge, they're a somewhat standard

04:15

system integrator, so they don't make

04:17

any of these components.

04:18

They just get some stuff that's off the shelf.

04:20

This was actually purchased via Best Buy.

04:23

How much did I pay for it?

04:24

- [Alex] $650.

04:27

- So, this is like an entry level gaming pc.

04:29

So at $650, my expectations are fairly low,

04:33

but let's actually see what we've got here.

04:35

Ooh, look at that.

04:37

We've got ourselves some peripherals.

04:39

Oh, well, actually, it's still very cheapy,

04:43

but it is the honeycomb in vogue style of mouse.

04:47

What the hell?

04:49

It's an RGB keyboard I got with my gaming pc.

04:52

Now, wait a minute, is this thing actually good?

04:54

Wait, wait, wait, it's actually metal.

04:56

Okay, it looks a little cheapy from the front,

04:58

but it actually has a very thin like aluminum backplate

05:03

and a decent sized feet.

05:06

Oh, ooh, ooh, okay.

05:07

That is RGB, but very membrane-y.

05:10

Also, have you ever seen the bottom row

05:13

with the space bar is like twice the size of a normal key.

05:15

It feels so strange.

05:17

I will say for 650 bucks, I expect a mouse and keyboard,

05:21

but this is slightly better than you might normally get.

05:24

All right, so we've got ourselves a,

05:27

oh, my God, did they send me a poster?

05:28

They quality controlled it on February 65th, 2024.

05:32

So, I think it was maybe February 6th or 5th.

05:35

I'm not sure.

05:36

Bravo, this is very, very nicely done.

05:38

Continuing the good vibes,

05:39

they've got nice soft foam here,

05:42

and it's getting, you got this little like carrying pouch.

05:44

So, obviously, this is really meant

05:45

to probably be thrown away,

05:46

but you could if you wanted to

05:48

use this to protect your system later on.

05:50

Behold, my friends, the SkyTech gaming PC of my dreams.

05:55

Okay, I'm gonna say that, I mean, obviously a cheap case,

05:59

but this is all very reasonable.

06:02

And look at this, very smart,

06:04

"Important, monitor connection down here."

06:07

So, I guarantee you that 9 times out of 10,

06:11

when people buy a basic gaming PC

06:12

and they don't know any better,

06:13

what they'll do is they'll take this label off

06:15

if it wasn't here.

06:16

Oh, gross.

06:17

Ew, ew.

06:18

I think it's incredibly common

06:19

for first time users to plug into these HDMI

06:22

and DisplayPorts on the I/O shield,

06:24

not knowing you're supposed

06:25

to plug it into the graphics card.

06:26

So, this sticker's nice.

06:28

Boy, oh, boy, I wish it didn't

06:29

just goop up the entire I/O shield.

06:31

So, I'm gonna take off the actual,

06:33

real tempered glass side panel,

06:34

which is nice and surprisingly thick.

06:37

We're gonna take out the padding, which also is quite nice.

06:40

So, this is that sort of like heat foam.

06:42

So, they kind of shove it in here

06:44

and it sort of expands itself out.

06:46

And there we go.

06:48

So, we got this one and we have some more.

06:50

Oh, okay.

06:51

These cables are gross, that, oh, okay.

06:53

Let's take a look at what we're working with here.

06:56

So, we have a couple of fans, which I assume are RGB

06:58

in the front, as well as one on the back.

07:00

We have a Gamdias CPU cooler,

07:03

which actually I would say is kind of overkill

07:05

because I believe, this is an i5,

07:07

or was this an i3?

07:08

- [Alex] i3.

07:09

- So yes, i3-12100F.

07:12

That is quite a low end CPU.

07:14

I'll be real with you.

07:15

This CPU cooler's a little bit overkill,

07:16

but it also probably cost them like marginally

07:19

more than the stock cooler.

07:20

So that's fine.

07:21

We've also got a PNY GTX 1650,

07:24

which is not a high end graphics card at all,

07:28

but for a first time builder, that's fine.

07:30

All right, we've got a Asus motherboard.

07:32

Now it is a microATX board.

07:34

A P1 650.

07:37

So this should be an 80 Plus Gold 650 watt power supply.

07:41

Interesting.

07:42

So we do have 16 gigs of 3200 mega transfer RAM,

07:45

which is nice.

07:45

Wow!

07:46

Actually, look at that cable management.

07:49

The yellow cable ties are a choice,

07:51

but honestly I don't hate it at all.

07:53

That is surprising.

07:54

No, I'm not gonna say surprisingly,

07:55

that is just straight clean, man.

07:58

SkyTech, two thumbs up, my dudes.

08:00

So this PC looks quite good at first glance.

08:03

However, we didn't buy just a PC.

08:06

Oh, no, my friends, I also need a monitor.

08:09

This one was very simple.

08:10

I typed in the word gaming monitor and this is what I got.

08:14

The KOORUI business display.

08:19

This was a $70 monitor

08:21

that I purchased from amazon.com via Google.

08:24

Now this actually seemed quite decent at first glance.

08:28

I think the spec of this was like, it was 1080p

08:30

and I think it was at what,

08:31

90 or a hundred hertz or something.

08:33

Like it wasn't bad for an entry level gaming monitor.

08:37

I'm feeling good, man.

08:37

I was kind of expecting a lot of these recommendations

08:39

to be just kind of generic ad garbage.

08:41

And while I believe pretty much every item

08:43

that I purchased here was an ad,

08:46

they do actually seem to have some quality behind them.

08:49

Let me get this monitor.

08:49

Just, oh, it's so light,

08:51

it weighs absolutely nothing.

08:52

So I have set up the SkyTech and I still have nothing

08:56

but good things to say about it.

08:57

So, the RGB implementation actually, I think,

08:59

looks pretty nice.

09:00

I think most people will appreciate the fact

09:03

that this looks probably a little bit more expensive

09:05

than it really is.

09:06

As an entry level system completely built, you know,

09:09

turnkey, ready to go for $650.

09:11

It's not bad.

09:12

And same thing kind of goes with this mouse and keyboard.

09:14

It's also not too terrible.

09:16

You tried telling me, I'm gonna use the stock keyboard,

09:19

how lovely it is, but oh, no, no, no, my friends,

09:22

because I had to buy a gaming keyboard

09:25

and buy a gaming keyboard.

09:27

I mean, a half a keyboard

09:31

'cause, you know, gamers only use half the keys.

09:33

So the advantage with this is that this is going

09:35

to be a mechanical half keyboard.

09:38

Now while it sounds a little bit silly,

09:40

there is certainly a use for this.

09:43

People who play MMOs, people especially who want

09:45

to have your keyboard

09:46

and your mouse really close together.

09:48

This actually can be helpful.

09:50

It's the DITI, the DITI, the DITI.

09:53

How much did I pay for my gaming keyboard?

09:55

- [Alex] $40 for the nice DITI.

09:57

- I will say $40 is actually not a great deal.

10:01

You can get a low end mechanical full-size keyboard

10:06

for 30, 40 bucks pretty easily.

10:08

But the person who buys this gaming keyboard doesn't wanna

10:12

type on the the JK and L Keys.

10:16

Oh, no, who needs a J or a K or an L?

10:19

We only use words that use QWERT ASDAF

10:23

and QSTBU and wait.

10:25

And NP.

10:26

Wait.

10:27

Why is NP on the bottom?

10:29

What?

10:30

Wait.

10:31

So we've got ourselves a very cheapy wrist rest

10:33

and the actual keyboard itself.

10:36

So, it is magnetic, which is nice.

10:39

So you get yourself a couple of programmable macro keys

10:41

as well as some on top.

10:43

We have F1, 2, 3, 4.

10:46

And then we have a few of our keys, but not that many.

10:50

And also these huge, very nice feeling buttons.

10:52

I'll say I'm not massively impressed with this.

10:57

It feels fine.

10:58

It does have mechanical keys

10:59

and it also has, what the, it has extra switches.

11:03

What?

11:04

Why would you get extra switches?

11:04

Okay, that's actually kind of cool.

11:06

Dustproof browns.

11:07

So they're Cheeto approved.

11:10

Chester's got nothing on you, my gamer friends.

11:17

I got a decent spin, maybe?

11:19

I will say

11:20

that this mouse specifically is actually really quite decent

11:23

for something that was just included with our system.

11:26

But we had to purchase a cheap gaming mouse.

11:29

Thanks to our friends at Google.

11:30

This is the BENGOO gaming mouse

11:34

and it is the ultimate RGB edition.

11:36

But how much did I pay for my BENGOO?

11:39

- [Alex] Well, you know how you were so excited

11:40

for a nice $3 mouse that was included?

11:43

- Yeah. - Well, this one was nine

11:46

so this should be three times better, right?

11:48

- I am pretty sure that the mouse that came

11:50

with the system is gonna be better than this.

11:52

Let's take a look, shall we?

11:53

For nine bucks, we've got ourselves a braided cable

11:56

and oh, good Lord, that colorful glare gaming mouse.

12:00

It looks bad.

12:03

It's just like cheapy 9,000.

12:06

Ooh!

12:07

Ooh.

12:10

That smells like lead.

12:11

Let's plug in the mouse.

12:12

Let's see what this RGB looks like.

12:13

Are you ready?

12:14

BENGOO!

12:15

Oh, that's lame.

12:16

That's so lame.

12:17

That's it?

12:18

Look at these two mice.

12:20

- [Alex] Oh, no, no, it's doing stuff.

12:21

It's cycling. - I guess.

12:22

- [Joanna] It's got a nice little gradient.

12:24

- But why is it like, you can see there's like individual

12:26

LEDs inside and it's like they're just turning on and off.

12:28

Look, this looks so much better.

12:30

And then I'm also gonna plug in my Redragon

12:33

and let's see what we got.

12:34

Now, it actually has USB-C plus, a USB-A port.

12:37

I assume that you could probably buy

12:38

like a secondary half of this keyboard if you wanted to.

12:42

But the way we're gonna use this setup is we're gonna use

12:44

the Redragon plus the actual real keyboard.

12:48

Since I need to type with the other keys sometimes.

12:51

So this is gonna get janky real quick.

12:54

Yeah, okay.

12:55

That actually tracks decently.

12:56

So we've got ourselves the Reddragon.

12:59

You know what though?

13:00

It's very like hollow.

13:01

Can you hear that?

13:02

If you are the kind of person who's buying this,

13:04

the main advantage is

13:05

that you can actually get your hands a lot closer together,

13:07

right?

13:08

So I can be gaming like this as opposed to having

13:09

to spread my hands out like this so that I can get

13:11

that optimal gaming experience.

13:13

- [Joanna] So that's not an Enter key, the G1?

13:17

- No, it opens up Bing was help get, get help.

13:21

Oh, it's F1.

13:23

Huh. - Oh, okay.

13:24

- Which is weird 'cause they also have the macro keys too.

13:26

- [Joanna] Wait, I'll help you out.

13:30

- Thank you.

13:31

I feel like now I am prepared to do battle

13:36

on the virtual steps of Fortnite.

13:40

As you can see, this setup is looking

13:41

incredibly professional.

13:42

We've got a $650 gaming pc, our dual keyboards, dual mice.

13:47

And what I will say is actually a very nice display

13:50

that runs at a hundred hertz for only 70 bucks.

13:52

Well, we're gonna need an RGB microphone.

13:56

Now this is the MRSDY professional microphone.

13:59

You can tell it's professional

14:00

'cause it says the word professional on it.

14:02

How much did I pay for my MRSDY professional microphone?

14:07

- [Alex] $20.

14:08

- There are a lot of very cheap USB microphones

14:10

that sound awful.

14:11

You cannot tell the difference, right?

14:13

So looking at this, even though it's a little guy,

14:15

they're very nice little mics that could be small.

14:17

Like that shouldn't be the barrier to entry.

14:21

Oh, wow!

14:22

Actually, that RGB's not bad.

14:23

That's not bad.

14:24

It's like rotating.

14:25

But I would actually say the capsule looks kind of cool.

14:28

So, this is a test.

14:29

Oh, that's really loud.

14:30

This is a test of the MRSDY.

14:32

Let me see, can I turn down volume?

14:33

Oh, that sounds-- - It sounds like

14:34

it's clipping.

14:35

- It sounds like it's clipping even though I'm not

14:37

'cause I've got the volume super low.

14:38

- Yeah. - Yeah, okay.

14:39

Here's the thing, I don't need to listen anymore.

14:40

Yeah, this is not good.

14:42

This thing sucks.

14:43

So we're gonna try Fortnite, which I think is a great game

14:47

to test this setup with.

14:49

So, it will run it up to 100 hertz.

14:53

So right now in Fortnite,

14:54

well, I'm getting seven so that's maybe not great.

14:57

I maybe turned my settings up a little too high.

14:59

I'm swinging between one and or like five and like 70 FPS.

15:02

Let me actually hit the ground.

15:03

Now I could turn my settings down farther

15:05

and I probably should,

15:06

but that is, yes, you look right there.

15:08

It stutters big time.

15:09

That is one of the main problems with a setup like this.

15:11

I gotta say that this monitor

15:13

is actually surprisingly solid.

15:15

So 24-inch, 1080p, I mean, it's certainly not like a super,

15:18

you know, fancy panel.

15:20

It's not like, you know, it's TN.

15:21

It's kind of got like, okay, average color and whatnot,

15:24

but there's nothing that's really egregiously wrong with it.

15:26

The brightness is pretty solid.

15:28

And on top of that, running at a hundred hertz is very solid

15:30

for this kind of price point

15:31

'cause you can definitely notice a major jump

15:33

in fluidity going from 60 to 100.

15:35

Okay, for the gaming PC part of this video,

15:37

I've gotta say I'm kind of impressed.

15:39

Hang on, I got this guy up one second.

15:42

(Austin laughs)

15:44

When I searched the word gaming, I didn't quite have this,

15:47

the Meta Quest 2, in mind.

15:49

But it's actually a pretty good deal.

15:51

While the Quest 3 is $500

15:53

and the Apple Vision Pro is 3,500 bucks.

15:56

This was available for a mere $250.

16:00

That's actually a pretty good deal

16:02

because for a while the Quest 2 had actually gone up

16:04

in price.

16:05

But now that the Quest 3 is out,

16:05

these are getting cleared out.

16:07

Although they are still on sale.

16:08

And I will say that this is actually not a

16:11

dramatically worse experience than the Quest 3.

16:14

Now it's certainly the budget version,

16:16

but a lot of the improvements that have come

16:18

to the Quest 3, have also come to the Quest 2.

16:21

So I'm in SUPERHOT right now.

16:22

I haven't done SUPERHOT in a while.

16:23

Punch through.

16:24

(upbeat music)

16:29

I punched him in the nuts in case you're curious.

16:30

SUPERHOT, the game of punching dudes in the nuts.

16:33

Nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts.

16:36

I like the Quest a lot.

16:38

And the Quest 3 specifically

16:40

might be my favorite VR headset out.

16:42

I mean, the Apple Vision is

16:44

obviously an incredible technical marvel,

16:47

but we're talking about something which is

16:48

so expensive it almost isn't even worth

16:50

sort of being in the same conversation

16:53

as something like this,

16:54

which, look, if you've never experienced VR,

16:57

at $250, this is a great entry point.

17:00

This is a little bit more accurate to

17:01

what I'm actually seeing.

17:03

So I'm looking at like this big room and yada yada yada.

17:07

But yeah, so I guess, hi, Austin,

17:09

what the?

17:10

Why is my?

17:12

Wow, I'm looking at myself in the mirror.

17:13

This is, wow.

17:15

- [Joanna] Why are you doing that?

17:16

- Because I'm looking at myself in the mirror

17:17

and my hands are just.

17:19

- [Kinsey] You're kind of doing like

17:20

the "Hotline Bling."

17:21

Like, what is that?

17:22

- So when I searched for cheap gaming console,

17:26

a DKOldies Game Boy Advance is again, not really

17:31

what I expected, but let's take a look.

17:35

Okay, so, looking at this, it has the film on the front,

17:39

which makes me think that it likely was

17:42

a screen replacement.

17:43

This would make sense as we remove film.

17:46

So I'll take that off.

17:48

Oh, yeah,

17:49

it's got like some weird chrominess

17:50

on the Game Boy Advance logo,

17:52

but it's a very clean screen lens at the very least.

17:54

This does look like an original casing.

17:56

It's got like some minor scuffs and everything,

17:58

but it's in good shape.

17:59

There's no DKOldies warranties void sticker in here?

18:03

Wow!

18:04

That's impressive.

18:06

After we and a bunch of other people complain about it

18:08

enough, I think DKOldies stopped putting the warranty

18:10

like void stickers or whatever on it.

18:12

So good job, DKOldies.

18:14

I said it with a straight face and a twirly hat on.

18:18

Okay, and how much did I pay for this

18:20

cheap gaming console via the Big G?

18:24

- [Kinsey] $119 and 99 cents.

18:29

- Ooh, okay.

18:31

Yeah, look, it's hard for me

18:34

to justify someone spending any money on a Game Boy Advance.

18:38

If I was going to buy a moddable Game Boy,

18:41

I would probably try to find something

18:42

that's in a little bit rougher condition

18:43

'cause I would wanna swap out the screen with something

18:45

that has, you know, some kind of backlight.

18:47

Ideally, put some kind of rechargeable battery in here

18:50

to give me some extra like sort of longevity.

18:52

It just feels like it probably needs to be cleaned.

18:54

Which I'll say, having looked at many DKOldies

18:56

consoles in the past,

18:58

the level of care and attention that's gone

19:00

into the inside of this could have just been

19:02

a quick little dust up

19:05

and putting a couple new stickers on it.

19:06

I don't know.

19:07

It's totally fine.

19:08

I think it would be overpriced for it.

19:09

But I guess technically this is a cheap game console.

19:14

Just depends on your definition of cheap.

19:16

Although maybe your expectation of game console as well.

19:20

When you type the words, gaming gadget,

19:24

into Google, what comes to mind?

19:26

A mouse, a weird keyboard, a controller perhaps,

19:29

or a whole (censored) ROG Ally, my dude.

19:33

All right, this is a gaming gadget.

19:36

Now I will say that Google at least gave me

19:39

the much cheaper version of the Ally.

19:41

So the normal version of the Ally

19:43

with the Z1 Extreme costs $700.

19:46

A lot of money.

19:47

But this is the Z1, which originally cost 600

19:50

but was on sale at Best Buy for 400 bucks.

19:52

And I'll tell you, that at $400,

19:56

this is a whole lot more interesting

19:58

because the main difference between the two consoles is

20:00

that the Z1 Extreme is much more powerful

20:03

and originally, $100 difference is not worth it.

20:05

But at $400, I mean, this is like base Steam Deck levels.

20:08

There's a shot.

20:09

This actually might be the best item of the video.

20:11

You do have some quite nice RGB around the thumb sticks

20:15

as well as two front firing speakers.

20:17

The bezels are a little bit chunky but not too bad.

20:19

And I actually like the way they've done the grips.

20:21

It's a little bit flat so you don't have

20:23

like something compared to something like a Steam Deck,

20:24

which has like a very deep grip.

20:26

This is a little bit shallow,

20:27

but you do have the rear triggers.

20:28

You do have what I would say is like a relatively

20:31

comfortable experience and it's not crazy heavy.

20:34

On top, you also have another USB-C

20:35

but you also have their XG mobile port,

20:38

which I find that almost no one would actually use,

20:41

but technically you can use this to connect

20:42

to an external GPU to get a lot more performance.

20:45

The downside there is just simply the fact that

20:46

that gonna probably be more expensive

20:48

than the ROG Ally itself.

20:50

So hopping into a game of Forza Horizon 5.

20:53

Admittedly, while this is not the newest,

20:55

most demanding game in the world.

20:56

With some pretty simple optimization,

20:58

I'm getting 1080p low settings at about 60 to 70 FPS.

21:02

Now I am taking advantage of FSR here,

21:03

but actually this is kind of better than I thought.

21:06

While I would be getting more performance

21:08

using the regular ROG Ally,

21:09

I'm actually getting a very usable one.

21:11

Like this does not feel like it is a essentially

21:13

half the price,

21:14

or at least it feels like it shouldn't be half the price.

21:16

That's because it normally isn't.

21:17

This is normally a $600 handheld

21:20

and the fact that it is at least right now,

21:21

available at 400 bucks,

21:23

shout out Google for telling me 'cause I had no idea.

21:25

Now I do have a bunch of additional settings

21:27

and I will tell you what,

21:29

while I've killed 12% of battery in turbo mode

21:32

in like 10 minutes,

21:33

this ROG Ally software's actually gotten

21:35

significantly better than the last time I used it.

21:38

Google, you know, I gotta say something.

21:39

I didn't even know

21:40

that this is available for 400 bucks.

21:41

So, maybe there's something too actually

21:44

just blindly Googling things.

21:46

Maybe you shouldn't just immediately hit the checkout button

21:47

every time you see the first ad that pops up.

21:49

But I gotta say,

21:51

I've actually found some things in this video

21:52

that I was not expecting.

21:53

Thank you very much for watching.

21:54

Make sure to subscribe to the channel and ringling

21:56

that dingling button.

21:57

If you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go Bing how

22:00

to get more views on my YouTube videos.

22:03

Oh, clickbait!

22:04

I need to click bait more!

22:06

Duh.
