Review of the laptop featured in the video:
Like its predecessor the G4s connects via Bluetooth to Android devices and also works with Windows PCs with an included wireless dongle. The controller is xinput compatible (without drivers) and works with most Windows games.
The controller can also be connected directly to the host device via USB. An internal battery will keep the device running for tens of hours.
I like the integrated phone mount and the storage area for the 2.4 ghz dongle. Those are nice improvements over the prior version of the controller. But is it worth more than double the price? Probably not.
