I've been using this for about a month and I love it lol. Slapped a 1TB sd card and I've loaded well over 100+ games in between AAA, classics, indie games, and emulation. It legit just handles everything lol. yes it's not a max it out machine but you'd be surprised how much more fps you can get thanks to Adrenalin software features like RSR etc, while not hurting too much the visual quality. Everything bro said in this review was spot on from the temps to performance, it's really a neat PC. It's the perfect little rig for me to take anywhere I want and chew away at my backlog of games that I have yet to finish (and still play big games like MW3, OW2, Helldivers 2, Diablo 4 and other coop/mp games with my friends and family!) I got it for about $600 even after an Amazon coupon for it! Funny story I sold my big PC I spent thousands on with a 4080 for this. Life has changed alot for me and so have my priorities so I wasn't really down with having that huge giant 40lb behemoth lying around in my house, and the fact too it is not portable at all 😂 And the biggest thing is yea that rig I maxed everything out 4k, but technically I'm getting the same "fps" on this mini PC, albeit just running at anywhere from 720-1080p and maybe tinkering a setting or two down. So to me it don't really matter and I don't really care anymore for the 4k fiasco going on lol. I just wanna play my games simply enough when I have the time to!
Really enjoyed that you hammered home how tiny this machine is with those hillarious exampels, because it perfectly shows how impressive this little thing really is. Well done!
Man, you really were pushing the size comparisons. lol 😂 Love the "Tea bag" transition too! This is really making me consider picking up that new DS 7840u device... Please do a size comparison in that video with the Retroid Pocket Flip. I really want to see the differences and pocketability of it. Thanks and keep up the great work!
It depends if you wear baggy clothes. The Retroid Pocket Flip isnt pocketable in regular clothing, its just a tad too large. Same as the PowKiddy X18. The Retroid Pocket 4 itself is smaller, and really stretches the limits of pocketability so I would look at those dimensions or smaller. The PS Vita Slim, which aged like wine, is the gold standard for form factor.
In terms of clamshell devices, the Nintendo DS Lite is the best out there. The (small) new3DS is fine too, and pocketable. But any of the XL or 2DS models are not. None of the NSwitch models are pocketable. There is the GPD Win Mini, and it's a bit larger than the Retroid Pocket Flip. So again not really pocketable. There's the slightly smaller GPD Win 2, that's pretty close. And the GPD Win 1 which is even smaller, and yes, that one is controversial if it's considered portable or pocketable. I would say there isnt any Flip devices that are pocketable outside of the Nintendo DS, DSi, Lite, 3DS, and new3DS. And also the Game Nano and the PowKiddy V90, but those are cheap and underpowered. If you want the best bang for buck, in terms of portability, look for a candybar style. If you want the screen protection, a Glass Protector, will usually give you enough protection. I dont have an answer for the sticks tho. Some devices have pop-in sticks for portability, others have screw/removable tops. But I know putting a front case on a device like this, is wasted space, and you won't be getting best space efficiency. My solution? Get the Google Pixel 8 Pro, or the Samsung S24+. Then put the case on it from the Samsung Note 9. Now you can throw advanced joycons on it from the Razer JungleCat. When you're done gaming, just remove both JungleCat controllers, put them together, and slide them in one pocket. There is your pocketable gaming experience. The alternative, like using an iPhone 13 Mini and a Retroid Pocket 4 Pro... well, they will be using two pockets as well. So it's not better, actually slightly worse. But the benefit is that you can access two different App Ecosystems. Plus you can dedicate one device for work, and the other for entertainment, which is good for simplicity and security reasons.
@@ekintekoI would say that s24+ would be good if the highest emulation you cared about was switch and 3ds. Otherwise I’d get the ayaneo ds as it’s the only clamshell device that can run every emulator up to ps3 and 360. I have a new 3dsxl but the screen quality,resolution, and ergonomics make it hard for me to play any games on it so ayaneo ds is looking very compelling but I’m of course waiting for the rgc review before purchasing
@@randomchicken8404 Well, that is not pocketable. That is like an iPad/Tablet in the Portable category. It is for indoor use, around the lounge room, and if you want to take it anywhere it comes in your backpack. And whilst that specific device might be good for you, I have a hard time recommending Ayaneo products. Which means you can look at other devices too in this size. There is the AYN Odin2 which is cheap, but has limitation as running ARM/Android software. Around the same price you can get the old/cheapest Valve SteamDeck. It doesn't have the best compatibility, but you sure can get a lot done. One step up, and I'd say go for the SteamDeck OLED, similar experience just better screen AND better battery life. And one step higher is the ASUS ROG Ally, it comes with Windows, newer chipset, and a screen that won't burn-in and is 120Hz fluid for light tasks. The step up from that is the GPD Win-Max-3 which is similar but adds a keyboard, so you can input text for Programs easily, and it doubles as a netbook/small laptop. Where the RP4+ basically stops at Wii Emulation, a device like the QC 8g3 in the S24+ can add PS Vita emulation and light NSwitch. The SteamDeck can extend that to Xbox, PS Vita, and light emulation of 360, PS3, Wii and NSwitch. And the higher devices can extend that to doing heavy emulation of those systems. If you step up to a Desktop PC, you can also add PS4 Emulation to that list. All in all, it really depends what you want out of it. I have different targets to hit for my electronics in the near future: Phone = Google/Android Tablet = Apple/iOS Laptop = Microsoft/Windows Desktop = Open-Source/ZorinOS Console = Proprietary/PlayStation Razer JungleCat with S24+ GameSir G8 with iPad Mini 7 dGPU build with Frameworks 16 Custom System for dualboot ZorinOS And a Stock PS5 Pro when it releases soon
Continuing to compare the small size of the PC with other stuff just kept getting funnier the more it went along. The fact that you played it completely straight just made it better. Great video. Keep it up!
I'm not into mini PC's, I don't even have a PC, a retro handheld, gaming handheld... theres almost no reason for me to sub, but these videos are so interesting. It's really a form of art.
I've got the right amount of PCs, a Steam Deck, and a 3DS which covers all of my gaming, and yet I still watch nearly anything Russ publishes. He's just got great insight and presentation that makes me want to know how New Device X performs compared to other stuff he's reviewed.
Oh man I saw your video on the homepage and I was like ;"Yeah man, I wanna see it." I loved every second of your video! If you could pair this Mini-PC up with a Nexdock360, because it caps on 60hz, it would be a killer combo. The new XL version(that comes out in Q2) has 120hz, but is overkill when compared to the specs used in the vid. In a hotelroom AR-Glasses would be the best choice.. I think Keep up the amazing work!!!
I've been using one of these as my daily work gaming PC instead of a portable handheld and absolutely loving it. I've been using a Lenovo Tab Extreme as the monitor.
This feels like one of those game show segments that gets the audience like, "How! Small! Is it!?" Absolute pleasure to watch! And as someone who's thinking abt getting my first non-laptop PC, this is an interesting choice I wouldn't have known about otherwise.
The dual boot thingy is relatively easy to fix, with the trade-off that overall security would be reduced. You can remove bitlocker by decrypting the C: drive ("manage-bde -off c:" from a command prompt with elevated privileges) and then turn off secure boot. Then it would boot fine into windows, while also dual-booting (but of course, you would now have a decrypted C: drive and secure boot disabled, which are less than ideal for some people with regards to security)
Yeah you are right! So I think they re-use the old motherboards by soldering the new parts on it and also use the old case with new serial stickers on it. Then they slap a new price on it...😑
You don’t have to keep up with them. I’m watching to learn about the cpu, a very popular choice that should start getting outdated soon I think? But now I know where all other devices using this chipset lie, more or less.
i cant wait for these to get to a point of it being enough for a main pc. I love big tech in small sizes and mini/micro PCs are right up my alley. Now, if only i wasnt unemployed 😅
This is already more powerful than 90% of computing devices right now. Mini pcs have been good enough as a main computing device since Intel's NUC initiative back in 2017/18
Well, this is interesting. I currently have a Steam Deck OLED LE and I absolutely love it! The HDR is a real game changer, so immersive that I never dock it.... 🤔 UNLESS! I have to clean the OS because I didn't know that you can introduce some bad issues by dropping the TDP to prevent excessive heat. I'm getting the MSI Claw and then I'm off of the market. Still, I would opt for one of these if I wanted to perform a fixed task in limited space.
Thanks for the review. Great device. Hopefully the price comes down in a couple of years for this APU or sooner with a slightly larger formfactor that supports a 2280 m.2 and removable RAM. Looking forward to when you can make a 6th gen console replacement for ~$200-$300 while still being able to run every game at 1080p/60
My man out here showing a hella cute yoshi and not giving the link. The chaotic size comparisons was one of my favorite things in a Russ video in a while lol
Due to low space I have never considered buying a pc, use only laptops and handhelds, but this I would definitely consider, since you could put a lot of different games and and different emulator and use it as a console also. Perfect to just take with you on holidays.
Thanks for another amazing review Russ! Honestly for the size difference, I’ll stick with the UM780XTX I recently got. Also constructive criticism…. The multiple size comparisons throughout the video didn’t land for me. I get that size is this thing’s core competency, but simple comparison at the beginning would have been enough. Too many was a bit OTT and detracts from the otherwise excellent analysis! But YMMV. 😊
Definitely living up the the company name here! I like the design and am surprised by the performance. I'm all handheld-ed out, lol, I'm really at my limit there now. This would be a great addition to a long trip with lots of hotel room time, a large screen TV is a better option than a handheld for sure. But the price really put me off to it. I just built a mini PC using AMD's new 8600G just for that purpose, and it cost me about the same money and I have infinitely more upgrade-ability down the road. Not going to take anything away from this little jewel though, it's an amazing package for the money....now I need to make a spam and sardine sandwich with Pez as my dessert and use a toothpick to clean my teeth with afterwards 🤣 Cool video Russ!
After watching the whole video, I gotta ask: hey Russ, just how much fun did you have making this video??😂 By the time you pulled the can of sardines I bust out laughing and you kept the running gag going with a straight face, so "matter of fact" it was brilliant!
Interesting video for what could easily have been a routine rundown of how it differed from all the others using the same cpu, but it definitely reinforces that stereotype that americans will use anything other than metric. 😄
I'd love to see you do some PCVR testing with these things. Would be awesome to know if this could successfully run something like Elite: Dangerous in VR with a playable framerate.
Pretty cool. I'd still prefer the deck for gaming since it's a complete package. For this even if it's small you still need an the power supply, external monitor, keyboard, mouse, controller... But for a pc substitute for lightweight usage it's great.
I love my SteamDeck but not ideal for multiplayer on the go. I would love to see something like this built as a portable gaming device with a flip up screen of about 8 inches and a massive battery. Back in the early 2000s I had the PS1 with a screen, I'd throw it in my backpack and where ever my friends and I could find an outlet we'd bust it out and play.
I get that it's a cute meme to compare this device to different household items, but for clarity I do wish that you'd also included the standard size measurement of Kerrygold butter.
You know, I'm not sure if I could tell how small it was.. Maybe you should do a size comparison video with specs and testing thrown in here and there? 💚
It's a nice little system, but I just wish the storage could be upgraded to like 4 TB instead of 2 TB because I would have liked to install Bazzite onto it while keeping Windows just so the Windows-only games I would play on Windows and for everything else I would play using Bazzite instead, and I am pretty sure Kingdom Hearts 3 can be played on high settings with that since the UM690S is able to play that game on medium settings and get a solid 60 fps.
“Speaking of tea bags…” I died. 😂
Have paused the video to find this comment! Hahaha

What's crazy about this is that we're getting this kind of performance from a mini pc that is about the same size as a MinisForum EM780. Wow!

Loved all the comparisons! 😂
Thank you for linking the Spam in the bio. I've been out in the woods for one hundred and forty five years without food
pretty crazy power for such a small device. maybe in the next review you can add a few size comparisons so we know how small it really is
This would be perfect for my use cases! I like the segway using Mario, but I think I liked the Game Cube comparison more
I love all the different size comparisons lol
Love the video! Favorite was the yoshi amiibo❤
i cant wait for these to get to a point of it being enough for a main pc. I love big tech in small sizes and mini/micro PCs are right up my alley. Now, if only i wasnt unemployed 😅
keep in mind software is aimed at consoles.

You can tell Russ had a blast figuring out all the items that are the same size as this mini pc.
A good insight into the CPU, might have to track down a laptop with this.

Pairing this with a Tablet as a display would be a great use case when traveling.
It's crazy that this PC is only about the size of the palm print on my forehead after watching that review
This device is worth it if someone wants to go all out on a mini pc! The packet of spam was hilarious.
Thanks for another amazing review Russ! Honestly for the size difference, I’ll stick with the UM780XTX I recently got.

that's quite a crazy form factor. It should be expected since we know handhelds can have this performance... and yet it's uncanny!
My main take away was that spam no-longer just comes in a can!
Small, quiet, reasonably cool, runs Linux without problems. Sounds like a winner. It's a little brick of computronium.
This is cool knowing that it's as big as my 2 yo daughter's choes 😊
Digging the injection of humor, Russ.
The constant size comparisons cracked me up XD
Talk about throwback!!!... Anybody else sing the Lambert the Sheepish Lion song when he broke him out? 🤣🤣🤣
it's basically same performance as mid-budget full size pc from 5-6y ago (ps4 pro level), and same price, amazing
With the right monitor. You could almost make this a single cord setup. Pick any display with a 65W passthrough and dp alt in/out.
Loving this 😂
Russ airing out his argument with his wife about toothpick storage is...certainly not where I expected this review to go 🤣
About time!
Lambert the Sheepish Lion! I love that animation.
One of my favorites as a kid!
See how Ross loves mini PCs it's fantastic. I could see an entire video about size comparison ahahah
Interesting video for what could easily have been a routine rundown of how it differed from all the others using the same cpu, but it definitely reinforces that stereotype that americans will use anything other than metric. 😄

I'd love to see you do some PCVR testing with these things. Would be awesome to know if this could successfully run something like Elite: Dangerous in VR with a playable framerate.
RDNA3 is somewhere between 1050ti and 1060 so can look up how those perform. FSR2 will help as well.
Greatest video you ever made. I was laughing out loud at the comparisons after every segment. 😂 wish you put a sandwich next to it

I get that it's a cute meme to compare this device to different household items, but for clarity I do wish that you'd also included the standard size measurement of Kerrygold butter.
lmao the size comparison beat was hilarious
I think we need a follow up video on this PC. There just weren’t enough size comparisons in this one.
I love all the random size comparisons. Haha.
Size comparisons getting funnier as it moves along 😂
The Russ Paradox!
i watch all your videos rather than playing my retro games.
If I didnt build my SFFPC with an 8700G, I definitely would have bought this.
You know, I'm not sure if I could tell how small it was.. Maybe you should do a size comparison video with specs and testing thrown in here and there? 💚
And thank you for youre Video al time, i lobe it
FOCUS MAN!! FOCUS!!!
This micro pc is insane.. cool❤
As an April Fools joke, you should do a full video comparing the size of a similar PC to other devices :p
Best review ever
My dude comparing the size of this pc throughout the whole video is hilarious
Great video but I feel like you could have showcased a few more comparisons for scale.
It's a nice little system, but I just wish the storage could be upgraded to like 4 TB instead of 2 TB because I would have liked to install Bazzite onto it while keeping Windows just so the Windows-only games I would play on Windows and for everything else I would play using Bazzite instead, and I am pretty sure Kingdom Hearts 3 can be played on high settings with that since the UM690S is able to play that game on medium settings and get a solid 60 fps.
hey are you planning to do a material on EMUDeck for android?
I want an entire video of size comparisons to random things.
