A manufacturer has presented a gaming PC on legs that is supposed to offer everything needed for gaming. The well-known YouTuber Linus Tech Tips has tried out the device.
The Danish manufacturer eBlaztr offers a gaming PC that is quite unique in its kind. This is because the computer not only stands on legs but also does not require an additional monitor. MeinMMO had already reported on the gaming PC on legs with built-in monitor.
Now, the well-known YouTube channel Linus Tech Tips has been able to try out the gaming PC and explains what he thinks of the device.
Gaming PC on legs with built-in monitor costs a lot of money
What kind of device is this? The manufacturer itself states on its website that the gaming PC “was designed as the ultimate solution for an uncompromising gaming experience anywhere.” (via eblaztr.com).
It is a gaming PC that stands on legs and has a monitor panel installed. You can therefore “disassemble” the PC at any time, pack it into a special backpack, and transport it to the next location.
How much does all this cost? The prices start at $349 just for the Eblaztr case; for a device with gaming hardware, you already pay $2,345. So for the mobile PC, you pay around 2,200 Euros. The high-end version with a Core i9-12900KS and RTX 3090 Ti costs $7,200.
However, the cool thing is that you can completely build the device yourself. Because if you only buy the case, you can choose the hardware you want to install and also choose a display yourself. Therefore, you can also just buy the case and assemble the hardware yourself. That’s exactly what the YouTube channel Linus Tech Tips has done now.
Tech YouTuber tests gaming PC: “I am not the target audience for this”
Who tests the device? Linus Sebastian is the head of Linus Tech Tips, one of the most well-known tech channels on YouTube. Linus founded the channel in 2008 and now has around 14.5 million subscribers (as of April 30, 2022).
On his YouTube channel, Linus Sebastian comments on things like gaming PCs, graphics cards, or just everything that comes his way in technology, either alone or with guests.
How does he like the device? The case is very organized, and Linus praises that it is very easy to install hardware. The manufacturer relies on high-quality materials, such as an aluminum panel on the back of the system.
Overall, it takes him about an hour to install all the hardware in the case. The final result also looks tidy and organized, and Linus explains that the PC looks really “fantastic”. The hardware fits almost perfectly into the case, and even without instructions, it was quite easy to quickly install the hardware in the case.
Linus also immediately notices, however, that the case does not provide case fans. He also explains that the case does not allow much depth. Components like graphics cards or coolers must not be too wide for them to fit in the case.
In practical tests, the system gets very hot, and during stress tests, the temperatures rise significantly. This is mainly because, Linus explains, the graphics card blows warm air into the case, and the processor does not get fresh air for cooling. The installed panel from Shark Gaming can only convince him to a limited extent.
Moreover, Linus explains that the special backpack for the computer is not yet final. The eBlaztr team is not satisfied with the backpack yet, and they are working on a new, improved version.
What is his conclusion? Basically, he finds that the device has a lot of potential. He explains that one can assemble the device oneself and thus determine the hardware and price oneself. Since the model tested was only a prototype, the manufacturer is likely to make adjustments as well. This includes, for example, the backpack, with which eBlaztr is not yet satisfied.
However, he also points out that such a gaming PC on legs is only aimed at a very specific target group that needs such all-in-one PCs. He himself only says:
I believe this thing is not designed for me. I am not the target audience.
Unique gaming PCs are not only available from eBlaztr. The manufacturer SEGA has introduced a very special gaming PC. This PC can drive around on wheels. SEGA calls the PC itself the “world’s fastest gaming PC” – and no computer on the road is likely to be faster.
