All 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 you, 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, 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 inch diagonal screen and it's 1080p, it's an ips at 60 hertz 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 and 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 hertz 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 watt hour battery, and so you could in theory bring it and the battery on a flight. You know get that seat back tray 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 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 gon na give this seven out of ten. 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 pretty different from normal earbuds you're saying 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 it 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 millimeter 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 the 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 hauled 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 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 his 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 five-hour total battery life with these sound quality is solid. If anything, it's lacking a little bit of bass, because 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, they're, pretty cool! I'm gon na give these an eight out of ten 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, 3050 ti graphics card, a 1080p 120 hertz display or a 4k 60 hertz option up to one terabyte 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 sized package. It's got some thickness to it, of course, and it's definitely not lightweight, 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 pcb and the angular cutout in the kickstand.

That is a really nice touch, and i'm not just saying that, because 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 in 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, because 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 rog xg mobile graphics dock, 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 cut out and under the kickstand there's A bunch of outlines giving you a peek 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, because 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 9 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 low key, just like nerdy 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 and 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 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.
