00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:07.799
Razer is calling the edge or Edge Pro depending on which skew you go for the

00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:12.080
first tablet truly designed for gamers welcome to Linus Tech tips at CES 2013

00:00:10.639 --> 00:00:16.560
our trip to the show this year is powered by Corsair maker of quality PC

00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:22.600
components and peripherals our trusted storage partner is Seagate technology

00:00:18.840 --> 00:00:22.600
and our trusted networking partner is

00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:30.320
linkis now there's a number of different models available they start at $9.99

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

00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:40.239
a Windows 8 tablet so in terms of actual usable storage space you're looking at

00:00:36.680 --> 00:00:42.920
about 32 gigs left over okay it has a GT

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

00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:50.000
you a 256 gig SSD as well as a core i7

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

00:00:53.160 --> 00:00:58.480
model that gets you a core i7 with a 128

00:00:56.280 --> 00:01:00.519
gig SSD so there's a pretty natural progression here in terms of price

00:00:59.680 --> 00:01:06.520
points the unit is capable of running as you can see dirt showdown it is actually

00:01:04.600 --> 00:01:11.799
gaming capable or at least as gaming capable as a lightweight laptop with any

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

00:01:14.080 --> 00:01:18.520
bunch of really cool accessories so they're actually bundle packs where you

00:01:17.240 --> 00:01:22.799
can get it with the controller that you see this gentleman using right here that

00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:28.400
fits the tablet inside of it and then adds what is that two analog sticks a

00:01:25.520 --> 00:01:31.159
d-pad as well as buttons that you can push it looks like there are some

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

00:01:33.720 --> 00:01:39.200
there in a moment anyway so here we're just running it with the little dock

00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:43.159
station you can see how smooth it's running actually that I'm going to turn

00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:48.680
this away from you so you're going to crash for sure adds extra expandability

00:01:46.479 --> 00:01:53.159
to the unit so you can add three USB ports you can add HDMI headphones

00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:57.000
microphone and this right here is for power you can see there's two vents on

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

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

00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:10.399
input here that looks like USB 3 USB 3.0

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

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

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

00:02:23.160 --> 00:02:28.920
to emphasize that while it is capable of

00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:33.680
running hard look at that it goes right away while it is cap of running hardcore

00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:36.959
games like this guys it's not going to run forever on battery life we're

00:02:35.239 --> 00:02:40.080
looking at a couple hours of battery life if you're running an allout 3D

00:02:38.519 --> 00:02:44.280
title but what you're getting is the versatility so it is a Windows 8 tablet

00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:47.319
running GeForce GPU and Intel processor that means you can run anything you want

00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:51.680
on it you're not limited to Plants versus Zombies but you could still play

00:02:49.519 --> 00:02:55.400
Plants versus Zombies if you wanted it's also available with a keyboard Dock and

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

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

00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:05.760
bigger I realized I didn't talk much about the overall thickness and weight

00:03:04.040 --> 00:03:10.120
but you can see this gentleman over here is actually using it fairly comfortably

00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:15.799
what would you say about the weight sir uh pretty hefty pretty hefty yeah okay

00:03:14.040 --> 00:03:18.519
would you be able to would would you would you say it's more optimized for

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

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

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

00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:35.480
it's definitely not something you hold up like this got it all right thank you

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

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

00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:45.879
is a keyboard dock that's the GamePad dock they've got expansion docks there's

00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:50.040
going to be an expansion dock that comes that enables more IO and all kinds of

00:03:47.920 --> 00:03:54.000
good stuff like that but peripherals are going to come out for it over time I

00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:58.640
want to actually drift us back over to the original one we checked

00:03:55.640 --> 00:04:01.159
out so that I can show you guys with my

00:03:58.640 --> 00:04:07.760
trademark iPhone comparison how thick the unit is now most Windows 8 x86 or

00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:10.760
x64 tablets are a little bit thicker than the ARM-based ones that it's

00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:16.320
something we' come to expect this one is thicker than those but remember guys

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

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

00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:28.160
still cool to the touch very nice touch

00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:31.919
because this has been sitting here running dirt showdown which which means

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

00:04:34.880 --> 00:04:40.919
