This incredible Windows 11 cloud gaming setup costs just £230on December 19, 2023 at 17:24 Tech Advisor
To get a full gaming setup on a Windows 11 device, you’re usually looking at paying thousands of pounds.
But what if I told you that everything you need to start gaming costs less £250? That’s very possible right now, thanks to cloud gaming.
At Box.co.uk, you can get an incredible bundle for just £229.99. It includes the 14-inch GeoBook 14X laptop, gaming headset with separate mic and Xbox-style wireless controller, plus three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and a full year of Microsoft 365 Personal.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is the key here, as it allows you to stream top-quality games on almost any device. That includes the likes of Forza Horizon 5, Assassin’s Creed Origins, Halo Infinite, Far Cry 5 and many more.
Provided you have a solid internet connection, it’ll run just fine on the GeoBook 14X. Game Pass Ultimate usually costs £12.99 per month, so you’re saving almost £40 on that alone.
As you might expect, the laptop itself is rather basic in terms of specs. It’s powered by an Intel Celeron N4500 and 4GB of RAM, alongside 128GB of SSD storage. But with Xbox Cloud Gaming available via the web, you won’t need anything more capable.
The display is more important, but the 14.1-inch Full HD (1920×1080) panel is better than you might expect at this price. Don’t expect anything brilliant from the speakers, but that’s what the wired headset is designed for. And a familiar-looking controller means you can get a console-like experience wherever you go.
Running Windows 11 means the GeoBook 14X can also be used for non-gaming tasks. Basic productivity is well within reach, especially with a year of free Microsoft 365 Personal (usually £59.99) included for free. This gets you full versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and more, plus 1TB of cloud storage and several other tools.
With all five items costing just £229.99, it’s one of the best value bundles in tech. But if you’d prefer a 2-in-1 laptop, go for the discounted GeoFlex 110 instead.
