Against All Odds: Atari VCS Mini Ryzen PC + Console Review

Video Description

Atari's new VCS (2020 / 2021) is finally out. We're reviewing the new Atari VCS, which is effectively a mini AMD Ryzen PC mixed with an Atari console, to see how it turned out. Sponsor: EVGA Z20 Keyboard on Amazon https://geni.us/kvPqEC Watch our previous Atari VCS tear-down here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nr6sQfvGuGE Watch our restoration of a $12 original Atari VCS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrgaWW7Wo-8 Thanks to viewer Gregory for loaning us his new Atari VCS. This review benchmarks the unique combination of hardware, but most importantly looks at the software, OS, games selection, and performance as a whole. We also cover usage of the Atari VCS as a mini-computer, including installing Windows 10 on the VCS so that it can be used for other things. This little box is interesting, and certainly beat expectations in our tear-down. The best way to support our work is through our store: https://store.gamersnexus.net/ Like our content?
