- Hey guys, it's Justine,
and today we are checking
out the Lenovo Ideapad Gaming Chromebook.
Now, I would say most
of the time when you think about a Chromebook,
your first thought might not be for gaming,
but this changes all of that.
This is the world's first laptop built for cloud gaming.
Thanks to Lenovo for sponsoring a portion of this video.
I recently have been back to traveling
and having the ability to take gaming on the go
with a light and portable device is really appealing.
This features 120 Hertz QHD display for high-end graphics.
There's no installs needed,
and you'll instantly have access to thousands of games.
It's also really nice because you get automatic updates
from the cloud, so you won't have to worry
about your device ever being out of date.
This keyboard is a multi-zone RGB gaming keyboard,
which is very nice for typing
when or if you decide to take a gaming break
and do some work.
This laptop was built to play,
and I can definitely relate
with that because I have been playing video games
for pretty much as long as I can remember.
I think I started playing when I was maybe like four or five
and I remember my mom getting me like my first console,
and it was pretty much the most exciting thing ever.
I am curious, though, to hear from you guys.
What do you think you were built to do?
I would love to hear it, so leave them
in the comments below some of your favorite hobbies.
Now, one of mine is something
that I started a few years ago.
I got into lightsaber training.
Some of you might know this, some of you may not.
It sounds a little bit strange, but it is so much fun.
Now, unfortunately, I did have to take a little break
from training due to a blood clot
and a crazy health scare that I had earlier this year,
and the repetitive motion of doing sword training
and lightsaber training caused this whole thing I
I don't really wanna get into it.
There is a video if you wanna check out more information
about what happened, but I haven't been able
to do my fun hobby as much or as often as I like.
But I wanted to show you some
of my lightsabers that I have been collecting.
So let me go get them and then we'll get into gaming.
Okay, so I've got some sabers here.
When I first started this,
it actually stemmed from a martial arts called Kali,
which is the Filipino martial arts,
which is usually done with like two weapons.
So I started doing that and then my trainer, Orion,
who's absolutely incredible,
we decided like a couple years ago
that we were gonna try
to do like a Christmas lightsaber video.
So we started training the lightsabers.
Never ended up making the Christmas video,
but I got super into basically like staff spinning,
sword spinning, and it was just like the most fun ever.
Now, when I first started, I was so bad.
I think I have some footage
of like when I first started doing this.
It was so embarrassing.
Like I couldn't even, like
I couldn't move my feet, like the foot placement
like everything was just an absolute disaster
because not only do you have to be able to spin,
you gotta move your feet at the same time.
So there's so much that goes into it,
which when you kind of do it,
it just looks kind of seamless,
but then when you actually try to do it,
it's very difficult.
So I wanted to show you some of my sabers.
I wanna show you where I started.
This was like the first saber that I ever got.
This is, I mean, it's so destroyed.
It actually is broken in fact.
And we've kept training with this
for probably like a year, not this specific one.
I think I had like I probably have gone through like 10
of these.
They were not very durable, but they're super light
so they allow you to kind of do, oops, sorry, top camera.
They're super light
so it kind of allows you to really move quick.
But for doing actual combat, not so good.
I probably am gonna start actually spinning
with these again just because it is a little bit lighter,
and I feel like that'll put a little bit less pressure
on my shoulder and I may even kind of switch
to doing it left-handed, which is kind of interesting.
I'm actually a left-hander,
but most sports I do right-handed,
which doesn't really make any sense.
I don't know. It just is what it is.
So these are the other sabers that I have.
These are the ones that I started training
with when I met a guy named Nate in Hawaii
who was also like an incredible lightsaber martial artist.
And so he showed me these lightsabers.
And actually it's kind of crazy
because last year,
we came out with the iJustine series lightsaber.
So this is one of the IJ series.
This is in the gold.
This comes in a black,
which I have loaned to Orion, my trainer.
And then I have a silver one,
which is at home in Pennsylvania.
So I have the two gold,
which I actually will do dual spinning with these.
I'm not that great at it,
but I can still kind of do it.
Now, this is one of my favorite ones.
I think this one might actually be charged.
Are you charged?
You're not charged. That's sad.
It's funny because these are lightsabers,
but I really rarely ever turn them on because most
of the times when I'm training, it's during the day.
There we go. (saber whizzes)
It's so great.
Oh, it has a motion sensor in it.
It also has a clash sensor,
so if you hit something
it does actually make a sound like you've hit something.
- Low battery. Please charge.
- Okay, low battery, please charge. Yes.
But this one is also very fun.
I have spun this in the past and it is, it's really heavy.
It's also kind of difficult too because you have
to watch out for the extra little sabers here on the side.
This one, I basically just have hanging up in my weapon rack
and the last one that I have here is this silver one.
This one is also dead.
There is a charger with them,
and they are super easy to charge.
But like I said, most of the time when I train
and since I haven't been training often,
these have been just sitting looking beautiful
on my weapon rack.
So these are just my combat sabers.
These are ones that I actually made when I went to Disney.
They're custom, they're super heavy,
and they are not for battling.
So I do have a wide variety, but these are my favorite
because the fact that they are combat,
and I know a lightsaber is supposed to light up.
(Justine laughing)
I just like them for battling.
We're officially back from the lightsaber haul,
and it's time to test out some games.
The first thing that I loved so much
about cloud gaming is you don't have
to download or install games,
but I also was able to sign in
with this NVIDIA 3080 accounts,
and I have a free month subscription
so I was kind of testing this out,
but I'm able to log into some other gaming providers
where I have games already purchased,
and I can play them in the cloud.
We're living in the future. The future is here.
(lively upbeat music)
- So now it's time to game,
and I'm so excited to try this out.
I have only done a bunch
of cloud gaming basically on my phone.
I've never done cloud gaming on a Chromebook before.
I do truly believe that cloud gaming is the future.
Not necessarily even just gaming,
but editing and being able
to use high processor intensive resources
on cloud devices on something that isn't as powerful
as the device that's actually running in the cloud.
So this is really cool,
and I do believe that this is the future
especially with 5G connections and internet getting faster.
It is only up from here.
So I'm gonna be playing Jurassic World Evolution 2,
and I actually already have this in my Steam library
so we're gonna hit play.
This is also a new game that I did just download
to tryout which I'm so excited.
I'm a huge fan of Jurassic Park,
so I love the fact that I'm able to play this.
It's something that I already have inside of my library.
I do own the game, but I'm basically playing it
in the cloud using my Steam account.
So we are ready to go.
Steam has launched on my cloud device,
and now's the time.
(upbeat music)
- Here we go.
Well, there's so many things I can do.
I'm overwhelmed already.
Let's just start the campaign and check it out.
Just let's remember that this is running on a Chromebook.
The game that I'm playing now.
And this looks fantastic. - Time-
This looks so good.
Wow. - One goal.
- This looks really fun. (Justine laughing)
I've never played one of the Jurassic Park games before.
Let's drop one of these in.
Place this in the area shown. Okay.
- [Videogame] Building is connected to the path network.
- Okay. Okay, locate.
Okay. Locate priority dinosaurs in the surrounding area.
Aim and approach the design.
Use R to switch to aim mode.
And then I fire.
Oh my gosh, this is gonna be so fun.
Wait, let me transport you here.
There he goes. There he is.
There he is.
Delivered to his new home.
Oh my gosh.
Look at him having the best time.
- [Videogame] He recognized this dinosaur.
- Okay, so that was a nice little test
of playing Jurassic World Evolution 2.
Now let's see if you can play
something a little more simple.
This is more of a party game and I actually used
to play this game all the time
whenever I would have friends over,
and it's probably one of my top favorite games
of all time, Overcooked.
And this is Overcooked 2.
Alright, we're just gonna play a new story game.
I haven't played this in so long.
Alright, grab a lettuce.
(game beeping)
- Okay, great.
Okay, we've chopped the lettuce.
We're gonna put it on the plates.
Oh, I'm so nervous.
Okay, great.
We've, we've, we've got that.
I think I'm, I'm,
I'm barely gonna be getting anything accomplished.
Get your get pick, pick them up.
I just gotta get my controls down.
Great, great. We did it.
We did the best that we could do.
(game beeping)
- Can we hold onto the dish?
Pick up. Pick it up.
I don't think we can do it.
No, pick it up.
No, I'm nervous.
No, we're not gonna get it.
(game dinging)
- Time's up.
Okay, I think we did pretty good
for our first time playing this.
Normally I play with a controller
so learning these keyboard controls is all new to me.
So far, I'm really impressed with this.
The fact that I'm able
to play processor intensive games basically
on a Chromebook is pretty impressive.
