00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:07,799
Razer is calling the edge or Edge Pro depending on which skew you go for the

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:12,080
first tablet truly designed for gamers welcome to Linus Tech tips at CES 2013

3
00:00:10,639 --> 00:00:16,560
our trip to the show this year is powered by Corsair maker of quality PC

4
00:00:14,519 --> 00:00:22,600
components and peripherals our trusted storage partner is Seagate technology

5
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,600
and our trusted networking partner is

6
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:30,320
linkis now there's a number of different models available they start at $9.99

7
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:34,800
that gets you a core i5 with 8 gigs RAM a 64 gig SSD although remember guys it's

8
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:40,239
a Windows 8 tablet so in terms of actual usable storage space you're looking at

9
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:42,920
about 32 gigs left over okay it has a GT

10
00:00:40,239 --> 00:00:48,559
640m in fact all of the models have that the highest end model is at $14.99 gets

11
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:50,000
you a 256 gig SSD as well as a core i7

12
00:00:48,559 --> 00:00:56,280
and then the one in between did I say 1499 I me 1449 and then there's a $1299

13
00:00:53,160 --> 00:00:58,480
model that gets you a core i7 with a 128

14
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,519
gig SSD so there's a pretty natural progression here in terms of price

15
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:06,520
points the unit is capable of running as you can see dirt showdown it is actually

16
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:11,799
gaming capable or at least as gaming capable as a lightweight laptop with any

17
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:15,479
kind of a GT 640m type of GPU in it in terms of expansion they've got a whole

18
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:18,520
bunch of really cool accessories so they're actually bundle packs where you

19
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:22,799
can get it with the controller that you see this gentleman using right here that

20
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:28,400
fits the tablet inside of it and then adds what is that two analog sticks a

21
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:31,159
d-pad as well as buttons that you can push it looks like there are some

22
00:01:29,439 --> 00:01:36,360
shoulder pads shoulder keys up at the top as well and we're going to get over

23
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:39,200
there in a moment anyway so here we're just running it with the little dock

24
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:43,159
station you can see how smooth it's running actually that I'm going to turn

25
00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:48,680
this away from you so you're going to crash for sure adds extra expandability

26
00:01:46,479 --> 00:01:53,159
to the unit so you can add three USB ports you can add HDMI headphones

27
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:57,000
microphone and this right here is for power you can see there's two vents on

28
00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:00,360
the back for cooling you've got a volume rocker up here as well as you know what

29
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:08,679
I'm just going to pull it right off the dock on you here okay power here power

30
00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:10,399
input here that looks like USB 3 USB 3.0

31
00:02:08,679 --> 00:02:13,200
speakers down here on the bottom are in Stereo so if you're holding it the way

32
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:18,480
you'd normally hold a tablet you're going to get decent audio out of it unlike apple with their older iPad

33
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:27,319
speakers where it's like right under where you hold the tablet which is ridiculous and I would like

34
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:28,920
to emphasize that while it is capable of

35
00:02:27,319 --> 00:02:33,680
running hard look at that it goes right away while it is cap of running hardcore

36
00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:36,959
games like this guys it's not going to run forever on battery life we're

37
00:02:35,239 --> 00:02:40,080
looking at a couple hours of battery life if you're running an allout 3D

38
00:02:38,519 --> 00:02:44,280
title but what you're getting is the versatility so it is a Windows 8 tablet

39
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:47,319
running GeForce GPU and Intel processor that means you can run anything you want

40
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:51,680
on it you're not limited to Plants versus Zombies but you could still play

41
00:02:49,519 --> 00:02:55,400
Plants versus Zombies if you wanted it's also available with a keyboard Dock and

42
00:02:53,920 --> 00:02:59,000
we're going to actually cut this and show you that in just a moment now the

43
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:02,200
keyboard Dock's not coming till Q3 it will make the unit a little a little bit

44
00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:05,760
bigger I realized I didn't talk much about the overall thickness and weight

45
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:10,120
but you can see this gentleman over here is actually using it fairly comfortably

46
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:15,799
what would you say about the weight sir uh pretty hefty pretty hefty yeah okay

47
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,519
would you be able to would would you would you say it's more optimized for

48
00:03:17,159 --> 00:03:22,959
something like sitting on a couch or would you ride the bus with it or well that's what I was just figuring out like

49
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:27,720
holding it up is really difficult but if you aim it down like it it's clearly

50
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:31,760
meant for sitting in your lap or you know uh you know on the couch you know

51
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:35,480
it's definitely not something you hold up like this got it all right thank you

52
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:39,000
for your fair and unbiased feedback he had no idea we were going to do that to

53
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:42,720
him so the point is that there will be a variety of docks available with it this

54
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,879
is a keyboard dock that's the GamePad dock they've got expansion docks there's

55
00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:50,040
going to be an expansion dock that comes that enables more IO and all kinds of

56
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:54,000
good stuff like that but peripherals are going to come out for it over time I

57
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:58,640
want to actually drift us back over to the original one we checked

58
00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:01,159
out so that I can show you guys with my

59
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:07,760
trademark iPhone comparison how thick the unit is now most Windows 8 x86 or

60
00:04:05,319 --> 00:04:10,760
x64 tablets are a little bit thicker than the ARM-based ones that it's

61
00:04:09,319 --> 00:04:16,320
something we' come to expect this one is thicker than those but remember guys

62
00:04:13,799 --> 00:04:20,600
this has a dedicated GPU in it not an igp and I could actually this is cool

63
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:26,360
Razer didn't tell me this but all of the heat being generated is here these are

64
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:28,160
still cool to the touch very nice touch

65
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:31,919
because this has been sitting here running dirt showdown which which means

66
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:37,000
that if it's not hot now it's not getting hot thank you for checking out

67
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:40,919
