Powkiddy X18 - Shadow Hunter - Lost World gameplay!

Powkiddy X18 Handheld Games Console 2-Player Video Game Machine 5.5-Inch WiFi

Hey guys,

Check it out!

The Powkiddy X18 with just the CPU MTK 8163 is good for your normal Android task. Like social media, watching youtube, checking emails, and even some school or office work. But, when it comes to gaming, forget about PUBG, Call of Duty mobile, and Asphalt 9 Legends.

You can actually play Asphalt 9 Legends and even Gear.Club racing game but the graphics are greatly diminished. Some games like Shadow Fighting 3 plays well but in-between game, they load a little slow. Even Bubble Witch will freeze once in a while.

That's why as much as I like the Powkiddy X18 if you're looking for something more powerful and at least able to play PUBG or COD mobile, then get the GPD XD Plus. It'll cost a little more but if you can't live without playing those kinds of games, it's worth the investment.

If you don't really care for the graphics-intensive games, then, of course, the Powkiddy X18 is more than enough. They also cost less. There are many other good games in the Google play store like Shadow Hunter - Lost World. Check out my video gameplay here.

The good news is, as I've stated in my last post is that my favorite Zombie shooter FPS games from Madfinger plays well on the X18. Any 'old' shooter games like Dead Effect 2, Shadowgun, and N.O.V.A are great with the integrated controller. You can even remap the buttons to your playing style.

The integrated controller and the remap button software which is included for free is what makes this Android portable game console work. Well, some games are best played with the touchscreen, and sometimes, I don't really mind. Might be a little awkward with the folding form factor.

What I like about the Powkiddy X18 or the GPD XD Plus is that they're more than just for gaming. Android games or retro games. Because it uses Android O.S. 7.0 (I wish it was the latest version) you can use it as an android phone or laptop.

I even set it up so I can use Whatsapp on the X18. I can send messages, voice messages, and even Wifi calling. I discovered that you can link your webcam to an Android device. I tried it out with my old webcam, it didn't work. So, I bought a new one, hoping this time, it'll work.

Hopefully, in the latest Powkiddy X18, they'll add a webcam to it so that people can do video calls. Nowadays, everyone prefers to video call. Even my mom likes to video call. They definitely need to do a 4G or 5G version. Maybe with the latest CPU and GPU?

Of course, if you want to add all that, it might be a little more pricey. That's probably why they chose the MediaTek (main website) processor. The price is also part of the reason why I got it in the first place. For now, it's more than good enough.

I kept forgetting to mention this but you can also link via mini HDMI cable to your monitor or Tv. So you can game on the big screen or work on a bigger monitor screen. Pretty nifty. For simple work and school tasks, I've always said Android is good enough. All this on a cheap portable gaming console!

GPD Win Max - The Ultimate Portable Mini Gaming Laptop?

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Is GPD WIN MAX the ultimate portable mini gaming laptop? To me, the answer is, Yes!

Although, I think they could make it better. Don't get me wrong, it's actually already pretty good. I've seen videos of people playing Doom and Witcher on this 8-inch mini laptop. I would really love to download some of my favorite STEAM games like DIRT 2 and play them on this laptop.

Of course, the added bonus is that you have an integrated controller on the laptop itself. I've heard that the control is pretty good with rumble effects and clicky thumbstick. Just hope that the controller is easy to repair when it's faulty.

There's a video showing some kind of problem with the keyboard. Don't really understand what the problem is but I hope they solve it. The keyboard is part of the reason I like it more than the GPD WIN 2. Yes, you definitely buy the GPD WIN MAX for gaming but it's also a laptop with good specs.

Talking about specs, that's another area I hope they improve or change on. Not sure why they haven't tried AMD Ryzen and Radeon Vega integrated mobile graphics. There's a product called AYA NEO that's built with AMD Ryzen 5 and Vega 5.

Frankly, I don't want another Nintendo Switch clone product. That's what AYA NEO or the GPD WIN 3 is. I'll rather stick with my favorite Nintendo Switch lite. Which I use for gaming and watching youtube videos at night.

One day, hopefully, they'll have the kind of specs you find in a gaming laptop like the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14. Is it possible? Why not. The technology is getting better and faster. But, they have to solve the heating problem.

Asus says they have the new liquid metal cooling system. So, that might also work for the GPD WIN MAX type of design. An RBG keyboard and LED lighted controller would also be cool. Especially, if you play in the dark.

I was thinking if I should just get the One Netbook One Mix 3 Pro which has a 'normal' laptop design but, the GPD WIN MAX integrated controller is actually kinda useful if you don't want the hassle of having to bring along a controller when you're out and about. 

Imagine if you're on a train or a bus, wouldn't it much easier to pop out the GPD WIN MAX and start playing? You don't have to put the laptop on your lap, pair it and hold a controller to play. There are some situations having an integrated controller would be pretty nifty.

Last but not least, I hope they change the screen to a rotating type. So that I can use it as a tablet. Will be better to watch movies or youtube. If you the type to write notes or an artist, the ability will be a plus. And another thing is where's the webcam? 

People nowadays do a lot of video-calling and even live streaming. So, instead of having to buy a webcam, just add an integrated front camera. Definitely, if the GPD WIN MAX has all of these, it'll definitely be my new ultimate portable mini gaming laptop!
