You may have caught our "Building the Ultimate"

PS4 and Xbox One videos, and I 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 Gaems Vanguard case,

the idea here is that this is going to give you

some portability with the console, but we're going

to be taking it up a notch.

So inside, we have another box.

So this is the case, they claim that it 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 not only are we getting a 19" display,

even though it is only 720p, but you also get the speakers

as well as the car adapter to run the entire unit.

So this actually is reasonably portable,

not only does it have a built in handle,

but you also have your integrated--

(case clunks open)

So first of all, we have the display itself,

and it has lots and lots of wonderful warnings.

For example, you need special packing for the Xbox One

and that you should not store your peripherals

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.

We've got the 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 wanna 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 straps,

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 USBs up 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 Gaems case on, power up our PS4,

and in theory, we should be up and gaming.

So after turning down the sharpening just a little bit,

it looks like we're pretty much good to go.

(upbeat music)

That's actually not bad, so they're 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 setup,

it's something I could live with.

So not only is it matte, you actually have pretty solid

viewing angles, and something I actually do

really appreciate is the idea that it's

a pretty decent sized screen.

Sure, 19" doesn't sound huge, but when you're 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.

And that's where this comes in,

this is the Anker Powerhouse.

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 mAh battery.

To put that in perspective, Anker claims

that that should be able to run something

like a mini-fridge for like seven hours.

Ah man, it's like the size of a car battery,

this is giant, wow, it actually has

a really nice feeling handle too, 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 smartphone to a tablet

with pretty decent speed, as well as what we want,

which is the full outlet.

Now the idea for something like this is sort

of more like a giant, emergency battery,

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 setup purely off of this guy.

So this is everything we need to make

our portable PS4 happen, we have the Gaems 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 when we were trying

to get everything set up here and the reason we went

with the PS4 Slim 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 Slim.

So the way that we've got this set up

is that the PS4 and the Gaems case are running

to a multi-tap and this is going to plug

straight into our battery bank.

Alright, monitors up, PS4 looks like it's PS4-ing,

controller up, and...

we're good!

Alright, this is it, this is the whole set up!

You can look around, there's no like hidden wires

or anything, literally it's just the Gaems case

with the monitor, we got all our cables

nicely tucked around, and we're pretty much

up and 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 speed, but the important part

is we are actually fully up and running on our PS4.

No, no, no no no!

See what that was, because it's so portable,

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!

You know, there are certain moments when I'm making

a video, when 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 sitting in a park bench

with a PS4 and a giant battery bank.

Game: "Stay the f*** back!"

There's a lot of language for a park.

This is so good, I'm surprised at how,

cause you look at the spec and it's a 720p screen

and yeah, you can see that it's not the sharpest,

there's definitely a little bit of down-scaling

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,

it's totally usable.

So in about 10 minutes, we lost 4% battery,

that's not bad at all, you guys could legitimately

use this for a pretty decently long gaming session.

So this is the portable PS4 setup, if you guys want

to build your own, I will have links in the description,

and I'm curious, what do you think about this "masterpiece?"

Let me know in the comments below

and I will catch you guys in the next one.
