hey guys this is Austin you may have
caught our building the ultimate ps4 and
Xbox one videos and they use the word
ultimate very lightly there however this
time we're taking a slightly different
approach today we're going to be
building a portable ps4 so this is the
games Vanguard case the idea here is
that this is going to give you some
portability with a console but we're
going to be taking it up a notch so
inside you have a another box okay so
this is the case as they claim their
works with pretty much any console ps3
ps4 Xbox 360 Xbox one and the idea here
is that not only is it a case that your
console fits inside but it also
integrates a screen so now that are we
getting a 19 inch display even though it
is only 720p but you also get the
speakers as well as the power adapter to
run the entire unit so this actually is
reasonably portable so now I just have a
built-in handle but you also have your
integrated so first of all we have the
display itself and has lots and lots of
wonderful warnings for example you need
special packaging for the Xbox one and
that you should not store your referrals
inside the Vanguard and cables need to
be unplugged and if you don't listen to
all these rules it might kill you well
you know you could do some damage to the
screen power adapter as well as a small
HDMI cable included in the box which is
helpful since it really only has to run
a few inches there's also a couple of
carrying cases here as well as a strap
if you want to be super super cool next
we have the ps4 slim now the main reason
for going with this over the pro is to
do with power efficiency since this
needs a lot less power to run it's going
to make things a lot simpler when we
actually get this thing fully portable
and since it's going to be smaller and
lighter it fits in here easily and it's
a 720p screen you don't really need a
ps4 Pro anyway the only slight issue is
that the ps4 slim isn't technically
supported but I think it should fit what
you need to do is get underneath the
straps and then just tighten things down
and I think that should work between the
foam pad and the strats I don't think
that's going anywhere and the cool thing
is we actually still have access to all
of our ports so you have our USB is at
the front as well as blu-ray and we can
still get access to everything around
back including power as well as HDMI so
we have the games case on top our ps4
and in theory we should be up and gaming
so
turning down the sharpening just a
little bit it looks like we're pretty
much good to go that's actually not bad
so then maybe not the greatest built-in
speakers in the world but for gaming I
think this should be totally fine so you
do notice that the screen is only 720p
it's not great I think though for a
portable set of it's something I could
live with
Cinelli is it matte but you actually
have pretty solid viewing angles and
when something I actually do really
appreciate is the idea that it's a
pretty decent sized screen sure 19
inches doesn't sound huge but I'm gonna
do this close-up especially with
something that's going to be used in a
portable situation it actually doesn't
look bad but of course this is just the
simple game case by itself what we want
to do is make this a fully portable
setup that's what this comes in this is
the anchor power house essentially what
it is is a giant giant power bank so
what you can do is of course charge
standard things like USB devices off
this guy but it actually has a full
outlet that can power something like a
ps4 this guy is rocking a 120,000
milliamp hour battery now they put that
in perspective
Anker claims that that should be able to
run something like a mini fridge for
like seven hours oh man it's like the
size of a car battery this is giant Wow
there's a really nice feeling handle -
it feels sturdy so not only do you have
the input but you also have a 12-volt
cigarette lighter four USB ports which
can charge everything from a smart phone
to a tablet with pretty easy speed as
well as what we want which is the full
outlets now the idea for something like
this is sort of mortise it like a giant
like an emergency battery so not only
can you do stuff like charge your phone
a ton of times off this guy but you can
even charge something like a laptop but
what we want to do is power our full ps4
portable set up purely off of this guy
so this is everything we need to make
our portable ps4 happen you have the
games case with the ps4 cables
accessories controllers as well as our
powerhouse so hopefully everything works
one of the things that we were a little
bit worried about what we're trying to
get everything to set up here and the
reason why we went with the ps4 slam is
because of the power draw so even though
this is one of the biggest batteries
that you can get it still does have a
120 watt limit which should be fine for
the ps4 slam so the way we've got this
set up is that the ps4 in the games case
are running to a multi top and this is
just going to plug straight into our
battery bank
all right monitors up ps4 looks like
it's
ps4 inge controller up and and we're
good alright this is it this is the
whole setup you can look around there's
no like hidden wires or anything
literally it's just the games case with
the monitor we've got all our cables
nicely tucked around and we're pretty
much up running with the ps4 the last
step though is to get on the Internet
now of course some games are going to
run just fine without it however through
the magic of tethering okay so maybe not
blazing speeds but the important part is
we are actually fully up and running on
a ps4 no no no no no you see what that
was because it's so portable I uh I was
in the park and I was lost by nature's
beauty and stopped paying attention for
a second you see look how beautiful it
is let's try a different game here there
are certain moments when I'm making a
video and I realize how ridiculous I
must look right now with this in a park
it's a beautiful day people are having
fun playing baseball I'm uh I'm sitting
in a park bench with ps4 and a giant
battery bank there's a lot of language
for park this is so good I'm surprised
at how could you look at this back it's
a 720p screen and yeah you can see that
it's not the sharpest like there's
definitely a little bit of downscaling
going on but this is totally usable and
the most important thing is the screen
is bright enough and it's matte enough
that even outside is totally usable so
in about 10 minutes we lost four percent
battery that's not bad at all you guys
she could legitimately use this for a
pretty decently long gaming session so
this is the portable ps4 set up if you
guys want to build your own I will have
links in the description I'm curious
what do you think about this masterpiece
let me know in the comments below and I
will catch you guys the next one
