The Most Powerful Portable Gaming Console Is an Xbox Series S
This small monitor allows me to bring my Xbox with me on the go, a level of portability I previously only thought the Nintendo Switch could offer. Subscribe to CNET: Like us on Facebook: Follow us on Twitter: Follow us on Instagram: Follow us on TikTok:

If you have to plug it, then its not portable.

@SeKToR Apple’s target audience are multi millionaire production studios, this thing is supposed to be cheap. At this point you might as well just buy a gaming laptop

@Comrad Euro I can assure you multi million dollar studios do not use apple products to render. LOL.

@Comrad Euro gaming laptops are great as long as you’re happy with very loud fans. And to be fair this setup is half the price of a midrange laptop.

One complaint for the video editor: the lapel mic is way too loud causing an extorsion throu everyone’s speaker. You need to low the mic down a bit.

This along with emulation, would be a good little hybrid portable option when traveling!

If you travel a lot for work…….Time for call of duty on the Xbox tommorow a lot of banking bullhsit in my 3 days trip new York better be able to lose my energy and frustration and solve puzzles so I can do my work better and be that stock guy who looks futher , takes risk and goes for the win!! And pick up some discounted purple look a like airpods for 5 bucks at 5 below
They had 1 for the Xbox one s 2…..very cool but they not forsake anymore here.I always wanted the psone version. This is very cool also as a kid just to place next to youre bed and then when you grow up to take with you on backpacking…..
Years ago I was a month on a brazil beach Hotspot and I would have loved this tho when my then girlfriend was at work

Though a budget gaming laptop would cost more, it will do more tasks other than just gaming and also will get more portable and better overall!..

If you’ve ever owned a gaming laptop you’ll know how obnoxiously loud they get. The Xbox Series S is practically silent at all times.

Way! Too expensive for what it is. 1080p/60 … Weak! You’re literally paying for two Series S consoles for the price. Was this a shill video? Do not buy this. That’s at most a $100-$120 screen. For that price it should have at least been 1440p/120hz. Do not buy!

The Steam Deck makes more sense than this.

Depends on lifestyle choice. I’ve had a Switch since day 1 and can count on 1 hand how many times I’ve used it in public.

How’s the form factor compared to a portable lcd screen you could get for $150?
David Handley
March 30, 2022 at 10:44 pm
I have a similar screen by G Story. I thought about getting a cheaper portable monitor but the G Story much like this screen being reviewed is very sleek. That’s worth a lot in my opinion.

What a waste of money. Just get a switch, steam deck or phone/ipad and stream your game.

My problem is, Xbox is very finicky when trying to game without an internet connection, or I would jump in this setup
ArcaneThinker

Might as well get a laptop at that point…. Xbox games + better specs + better screen that way

Alan Richardson

*The X screen isnt worth it the cost is practically the same as the Series S and it doesnt do 4k and 120hz it’s a hard pass. Not mention the small screen size is the same reason I don’t use monitors and prefer TV’s. Nintendo Switch is still the best choice for gaming on the go.*

I’m surprised to not see it compared to buying a portable monitor that takes HDMI and could be powered from USB. It wouldn’t be as elegant for sure, but the quality could be higher for the price

Resident Kindness
March 31, 2022 at 1:27 am
no dude this is a waist of money on garbage not fun!
look at this screen’s design with huge borders they are straight from early 2000s and its not even the best ips matrix i see from here. it should be amoled at least.
instead of loosing time on some junk like that better make a real xbox portable that can fit in a pocket like a normal smartphone nowadays. let it it cost like all of console lame screen snd accessories put together but that would be.something dope if it also could have some exlusive games, remastered and trending games.

For me, it’s a no no. I’d rather bring gaming laptop than this bulky thing.

Could get another xbox with the price of the screen?
Should’ve made it 4k, oled and hdr

Some unknown chinese company will going to launch knockoffs for 20$ or less, here in India you can buy Chinese-delhi made 24inch led displays for 14$ ofcourse display quality isn’t that good but still you can buy cheap monitor!

Looks cool, but they need to increase screen size at the very least edge to edge screen. Maybe then I can buy one.

That screen is garbage for the price. Decent 60hz 1080p IPS 17″ portable monitor is less than $100

Just buy a portable monitor instead like the wimaxit hahhah you get allt more versatility as an extra laptop screen, turn your phone into a table, and its cheaper

Terrible product, look at Linus tech review on this its a joke, so flimsy and delicate.

13” and 14” inch gaming laptop more slim and portable, its the best choice

But can reach 60FPS and won’t lose battery charge, features the Nintendo Switch struggles with. Lol
Barry Ward
March 31, 2022 at 1:49 pm
To be fair if you look up “portable” it’s defined as something that’s easily carried/moved. So technically this is correct.
leesin
March 31, 2022 at 1:52 pm
@Barry Ward Portable for me means easily carried to one place or another.

Remember when things like X-Screen were sold for same price, but were a 5inch CRT packaged in Nyko style packaging, about 20 years ago, for all 3 systems?

And since it’s an SSD, while in the car there’s literally no moving parts to get damaged beyond the fan.

March 31, 2022 at 5:52 pm
I’ve had the Xscreen since it’s release in February. It’s great. Crisp picture. The built-in crosshairs for FPS games are a nice touch, and the single power cable is a plus. I agree with the advice on when to close the lid after gaming. Also get the case. The only downsides are the price of the screen and the price of the case. Just under $200 would be a good price for the screen, and the case shouldn’t cost more than $30.

Surprised you did not compare it to the steam deck. Seemed like the logical thing to do.

On one side you have fanboys constantly dunking the Series S. On the other, you have Series S owners who love the little man. I actually think this was a brilliant call by Xbox. But it’s the follow-up to the Series S that’s gonna be the must buy. You can tackle portable gaming from the other angle. By making a console small enough to be portable, rather than a handheld that is aiming for console quality gaming. Sell the screen as option attachment, along with battery pack options.

Xbox needs to make a portable console soon competition with switch, steam,

I got mines last week, I love it. One of the Best investment i ever made, i recommended the monitor If u purchase the series S.
I don’t use all the other ports, just glad the screen doesn’t block the memory slot…..it was important.
I have both consoles and don’t regret my decision on buying both at all, but I do say u need this Screen If u buy the Series S
