To your credit, to this day, you can't really play games on a gaming laptop without it being connected to power either.

[@watcherman222]

Pretty much this. The battery is just there to give you time to save and exit a game when the power goes out.

[@chocking420]

[@thesilentgametestr]

You can play games on the battery, but that will depend on your hardware and the games you attempt to play. I had a ryzen 5 laptop with an Rx 560x and without battery it used the Vega graphics of the processor which was ok,. But you wouldn't play demanding games on it. If you spec a good Apu then you wouldn't always need to use the dedicated all the time if you didn't want to plug it in. My current laptop isn't a gaming laptop, it doesn't even have a dedicated GPU, but it has a Ryzen 4700u and I can play some demanding games very well on it and you don't need to plug it in.

[@ChopacabraSS]

Yeah you can

[@Nathan.44-40]

That screen IS a very cool concept! Cowboy, your videos are informative and entertaining!

[@MajorPineapple]

i love these kinds screens - i had one for my gamecube and it was perfect for road trips and hotel visits

[@jonathanmanning4840]

Nice one Mr tech cowboy I considering getting this thanks for the review bro✌️

[@alycks6056]

That’s one very cool accessory, It’s like playing console game on a tablet screen

[@jjayala]

You can do that if you have game pass ultimate via xcloud. I'm on it almost daily.

[@bencarson8426]

Hey man you've gotten better at Halo! I just started to sink some serious hours into MCC, I beat reach and am on the 6th mission of CE, loving it.

[@RafaJack90]

This is a must have for someone like me who works traveling all around the US, I was using the cloud service on my laptop, but some hotels the wifi is miserable. I will definitely buy it.

[@seanpetty2649]

That’s pretty cool! And since you have a series x now it would be cool to see your take on comparing it to PlayStation, just for fun not to fuel a flame war. I love both of mine but if I’m being honest I play the Xbox more. Looking forward to all your future videos regardless!

[@Gabhom9]

Im starting to get addicted to this videos hahaha i just bought the HORI SPLIT PAD HAHA

[@MrMartellSincere]

I'm getting the Upspec Gaming monitor this Monday 😊

[@EatYourHeart0ut]

This is so cute! 😍 Reminds me of the screen I had on my PSone when I was younger. Keep up the great content! 😊

[@Cxncxnz]

I remember the PSOne screen haha!

[@cryengine_x]

@@Cxncxnz i think i got one of those for like 20 bucks in some clearance been. ppl keep comparing them to this up spec favorably, but to be fair this upspec is a real screen and that psp one was probably 100 nits and almost monochrome lol. theyre not really comparable, the upspec is so much better.

[@MultiWolfstorm]

You can’t hate cool gadgets like this! When I grew up in the 90’s we couldn’t dream of toys like this 😂❤

[@ripp3rjak934]

How tf have I not heard of this thing sheesh! It’s great

[@Malvarez916]

I’m buying this! I go camping over the summer and this would be perfect.

[@sparkygoldman510]

You big silly! 🤪 I subbed because you mentioned gaming while pooping! You're a riot a minute, man. LOL!

[@diegocobian8982]

Thank you for the video! A question, can I use wireless headphones? I live with other people here and do not want to disturb them while I play (during nighttime in particular) shooters or any other "noisy" games.

[@coolstuffaboutlife]

I love your videos and your videos love me

[@nanfoodles]

Wish the case had room for 2 controllers and a external HD

[@Joey_Zaraki]

Only question is…why in the world would they block off the Ethernet cable port?

[@TheRemynight00]

Have you seen the G-story Xbox one series S screen? It's really similar. I'd love to hear your initial impressions

[@mihaidragnea9785]

What do you mean by "Xbox one series S" is it the Xbox one, the Xbox one s or the Xbox Series S? The one and series Xboxes are from different generations.

[@steveybiggunzgaming8118]

The gstory one has hdr but needs to be plugged in separate the x screen is powered by the USB ports on the Xbox, but I believe the gstory one can do 120 hz

[@Cxncxnz]

Looks cool!

[@cemsengul16]

I would love it if upspec gaming made a display like this for the Xbox One X.

[@akrynlyn9414]

Gstory

[@shaggymcdaniel3216]

I travel in a ford transit connect and this thing will run practically forever with my Jackery 1,000 hooked up to 2 100 watt solar panels on the roof.

[@flip__]

The only problem that is a deal breaker for me is that it covers the Ethernet port :(

[@sgaxnikolaix661]

Can you not connect to the internet by having a usb Ethernet adapter to a Series S?

[@thejetrodriquez]

Can the screen run at 120 fps on halo multiplayer ? Debating on getting this screen or the one from g story.

[@Douglaskyle9191]

What type of input lag does this display come in with? Being an IPS panel is that even an issue?

[@joshgoodwin6682]

I love your channel dude watch just about every video and enjoy your style that being said WHY IS THE XBOX BUTTON FLICKERING ?

[@Pqndo]

Some Cameras make light tweak

[@YouNoMeDawg]

Can you hook anything else up to it?

[@MrMartellSincere]

I would love to game on this device and take it everywhere i go. 😀

[@jjayala]

If x cloud and shadow pc didn't work as well for me as it does via my wifi or Hotspot on my phone and tablet this would be my set up for sure. The older I get the more I love my gaming but the less time I get to ever invest $ in or be able to sit at a desk or tv. This is very nice for the gamer who's on the move or maybe need their own set up when all the kids and wifey are sleeping. I'm not in the market for next Gen but tell anyone who is get the series s unless they are dead set on something else.

[@0x007A]

I wish the case / monitor did not cover the Ethernet port.

[@Guitario666]

Plug and play with this thing while traveling will be awesome. But for that price, I think the white should match the Xbox white. Did you find the colors not matching bother you at all? Or who cares it's a portable xbox?

[@TechSpaceCowboy]

Didn’t bother me at all. And only noticed it in extremely good lighting

[@Guitario666]

@@TechSpaceCowboy good to hear 👍

[@MrMartellSincere]

Please review the Xbox headset wired and wireless headsets. Thanks man!😊

[@TechSpaceCowboy]

Unlikely I will, but appreciate your support my dude

[@MrMartellSincere]

​@@TechSpaceCowboyyou're welcome

[@charlesmetz]

Does the screen draw its power exclusively from just the USB port? I don't see a separate plug/cord, so I'm guessing there's enough juice to drive both the display and speakers over USB?

[@TechSpaceCowboy]

Correct. Only cord is into the Xbox. The screen is powered by the Xbox

[@charlesmetz]

@@TechSpaceCowboy Impressive (and tidy) solution.

[@Brand0n555]

This would probably be good for a college dorm. When I was in college I just had a gaming laptop but for those who want an xbox instead this would be cool. I have a small portable monitor for when I travel or for my buddies to use at my place and part of me wishes it was just this. I did get my portable monitor for under $100 tho so maybe what I have is just fine 🤣

[@vladyslavstadnyk2762]

they have to have case version for 2 gamepads.

[@An0nym0usOP]

hello, is it safe to leave the monitor connected (obviously raised) and the xbox in standby to be able to do game updates?

[@TechSpaceCowboy]

Yeah should be

[@Skolborne]

I’m bedridden with MS. I have really low vision so need to have a screen close to my eyes. Would this be suitable to use?

[@TechSpaceCowboy]

If you are able to put it on a tray in front of you then this could be a good option possibly. It would keep the system simple. Sorry to hear you’re bedridden mate. Wish I could help you more

[@69Evolution]

6:58 where did you get that carrying case?

[@TechSpaceCowboy]

Mine came with it, I think it’s an option on their site

[@andrewdupuis1151]

[@Bloodgod1982]

Nice Monitor for the Series S😎💪

[@trooper2708]

I hate the razer logo too glad someone finally agrees I mean wtf is it with snakes and tech

[@ap3montes739]

It's not 4K or 120fps because it's missing that RGB

[@TechSpaceCowboy]

So true

[@bradmyster1316]

Your Xbox button was blinking so you should get that checked out but just looking out for you

[@BonzerMrT]

I would get one just cause I go to my GF’s house and I don’t feel like bringing my monitor and her and her mom can still use their TV

[@callsignsealt5340]

Imo, rgb isn’t very xboxy because it’s got the clean minimal color minimalist style so rgb seems like an overstep.

[@luba378]

I'm looking for something like this cuz my buddies and I like to do a LAN party setup for halo so this would definitely benefit. Just wish it had a better res screen. Might get one for the convenience

[@XxBishop78]

I have one and like he said at 11.6in it looks soooo good man,trust✌

[@luba378]

Awesome :) I’m looking forward to getting one eventually

[@mihaidragnea9785]

Yeah, but the screen covers the LAN port.

[@XxBishop78]

Great reveiw u didnt show the fps overlay did you?

[@TechSpaceCowboy]

No, I mean it tops out at 60, so it didn’t seem super relevant to the review

Im late to this video but....G-Story has a 15.6" 2k screen for about $70 more

[@TechSpaceCowboy]

I have another competitor as well I’ll be reviewing at some point

[@weskerhood9884]

Nice one getting the Series X, now you have the true powerhouse console.

[@CokaRolla]

“It’s not a gaming laptop because it lacks a battery” good sir my gaming laptops battery is trash so I won’t notice a difference lol

[@TechSpaceCowboy]

Yeah plus a gaming laptop can’t properly game without being plugged in anyway lol

[@4estOC]

It's not 1440p, no 120hz, no vrr. WHY?? I understand the value proposition. BUT, I also understand the Series S capabilities. This is an insult.

[@TechSpaceCowboy]

You couldn’t tell the difference at this size for 1440p

[@beirumrind4244]

Why tf u need 1440p size that

[@beirumrind4244]

Nor need 120 Hertz when series s does 60 in 75% or more of games

[@iNathanLite]

I thought I was the only one alive that disliked the Razer logo.

[@TechSpaceCowboy]

I hate it: Love the products. But the logo legit is a reason I try to avoid buying if there’s a good competitor

[@raph84]

Look for G-Story. They have made Screens for PS5 (and XBox Series S and Series X). I'd love to see a comparison, just ordered their Series S Screen (over the xScreen) since it has a second HDMI-In, Remote and is slightly larger (12.5 inch)

[@user-dp3oz7jl8k]

Need 120hz

[@TechSpaceCowboy]

Series S rarely puts that out so I don’t see a cost/benefit analysis making that work out

[@TheRoguesy2]

AcTuAlLy ! The current Razer logo is a modern design. The 90s logo had complementary different logotype using dated 90s design tropes. So much for your graphic design knowledge.

[@DNYLNY]

The current logo is 90s af. He’s right. Call it petty but it’s the reason why I never bought one. I do a lot of work on my laptop and would feel embarrassed with that silly logo in front of clients. Looks very teenage gamer.

[@fyuckya505]

The light up logo sucks that takes more juice from my battery and covering all the ports in the back sucks

[@TechSpaceCowboy]

There’s no battery…?

[@user-lr3di2gp7o]

250$ is a reasonable price for 11” screen?🥴🥴🥴

[@piplup10203854]

Something like this is perfect for after office events. In my department we often host street fighter tournaments or super smash brothers but a lot of people just bring a monitor and it’s pretty cumbersome 🫠 this is quite handy for that. It would make a lot easier to just pick this up. It’s a small group of us so we honestly don’t need much. I just got my Steam deck and I’m working on setting up that but it would be nice to have an Xbox cause we all share a game pass 😂 it works. A lot of us work from home but like once a week or one weekend out of the month we will come in the office and do that. Our old solution was a mini pc with a projector but it’s a bit of pain to carry that around and there’s a lot of risk for the components being jumbled around 🫤 this would solve that. None of us can get an Xbox though at the moment but we are trying lol

[@TechSpaceCowboy]

Not even a Series S? They’re readily available where I am from

[@piplup10203854]

@@TechSpaceCowboy Sadly no :( we can't find one for MSRP but I'm going to a large mall today in hopes of finding one. If not though it will be okay. My steam deck comes in today! :D
