The G Cloud is a handheld gaming device from Logitech that's specifically designed for game streaming...other than that it's just an android tablet with a built in controller. I originally thought there was no way this thing could compete with the Steam Deck or other handhelds from Aya or OneXPlayer, but now that I've used it....I think maybe it could :|

With regard to the controller dead-zones, Logitech says it's on the list of things to address/fix but it's not clear whether that will be a software or hardware revision, and it won't be fixed this quarter (Q4 2022). An update to enable virtual button remapping may happen this quarter.
-
The fact Linus can turn down a sponsorship deal, then give a very good and respectable review thats not 100% negative... and give great customer feedback to the product makers. Is honestly amazing. +100 Respect Linus. Fair play to you.
-
Not only did Linus REFUSE Logitech's money, his review and feedback is actually worth potentially millions of dollars in sales in terms of technical improvements to Logitech's device that would help said sales.
-
That forced agreement to a Tencent ToS is reason alone to never get the device. I used to be on the "oh it's just a company, who cares", but over time I've come to see the atrocity that Tencent truly is. They have to be avoided at all costs to try and stop further damage to the industry.
-
The entire introduction about refusing their sponsorship to avoid being biased or accused so is pure gold and I'm happy and lucky that a channel like this still exists in 2022
-
Shoutout to Linus and the team for not sweeping the bad features under the rug and accepting the sponsorship. Very glad they had the integrity to say no and telling us the real side of the device.
-
The Deadzone issue can be fixed after a software update. You can basically set the device to have no deadzone anymore. I set it to 0 and have no drift.
-
Wow, this review is more beneficial and lucrative to Logitech than a sponsorship ever could be. They have the money and now a guideline to create a significantly better Logitech G Cloud 2.0.
-
Product reviews like these are what actually get me interested in a product. An ad/sponsorship that only discusses the pro's, which makes you question the potential issues that aren't mentioned
-
This is why i respect any opinion Linus has on any new or upcoming products. Man just doesn't take a sponsor if he isnt fully 100% onboard with what they offer
-
I miss videos like this that actually have Linus’s fingerprints all over it. I got into LTT cause of him. Not cause of the people he employed. Obviously they’re great at what they do but it’s not the same. I honestly can’t remember the last time I got to see a LTT video like this.
-
I'm surprised he didn't mention the fact that Stadia is just being closed. That's a big loss for this thing.
-
It honestly feels like Logitech brought this into the market too late now that portable PCs are starting to become more common.
-
Judging from the fact that they partnered with Tencent, I imagine that the product was pretty much envisioned from the start for the Chinese market where mobile and cloud gaming is very popular. The market for something like this in North America seems like it would be really small as most people already have consoles or PCs to game on.
-
love the fact Linus doesn't let these companies control what he say. Linus is always keeping it real . Long live Linus tech tips
-
PDQ inventory and deploy are fantastic for small - medium IT shops. Even if you only use the free versions, well worth trying. Yes, I am commenting on the sponsor and not actual video content
-
I love the way Linus talks when he's the one who wrote the script. It just feels ever so slightly more natural because he's read every sentence like 100 times but that makes a huge difference. You can FEEL that these are TRULY HIS thoughts. I'm not saying that LTTs writers are bad (they're actually pretty good at adapting to Linus' style) I just wanted to say that this one felt a lot more comfortable and honest. :) <3
-
Got to love honest, passionate, unsponsored reviews.
-
I would never ever get this, especially since I already have a Steam Deck, but I guess it's good that there's a proper video by Linus nonetheless, one that displays all of its pros and cons.
-
Never stop making the videos YOU want to make Linus. You work your butt off and deserve to say, "you know what, I'm the boss and I'm reviewing this weird thing that I want to play around with" every once in a while.
