Linus Tech tips coverage of computex 2013 is powered by Western Digital our

2
00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:11,080
trusted gaming gear partner is Corsair Vengeance and our trusted retail partner

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:18,760
is nc.com welcome to the Razer suite at

4
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:20,560
computex 2013 this is the thing that

5
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:26,519
everyone's excited about this is the razor blade 14-inch gaming laptop this

6
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:30,800
features an Intel Core i7 fourth generation Haswell processor so that

7
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:36,600
means yes guys we are benefiting in a big way

8
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:41,320
from the improved performances has well okay yeah a little bit but mainly from

9
00:00:38,879 --> 00:00:44,879
the improved power consumption so it's finally getting to the point now where

10
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:50,520
there's so little heat output and so little power consumption that a Haswell

11
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:58,120
gaming notebook with a GTX 765m can be crammed into a 66 in form

12
00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:03,920
factor so it has 8 gigs of memory it's got a 128 gig SSD although it's

13
00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:05,760
upgradeable to 256 it's got a 14in 1600x

14
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:11,840
900 screen which is going to be a good resolution for a GTX 765m there's a pro

15
00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:15,240
version that's 17in as well but we don't have that one here so you can see

16
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:19,479
ventilation on the bottom is provided by a couple of fans there are two rubber

17
00:01:17,479 --> 00:01:23,240
strips on the bottom of the chassis so I'm just going to go ahead and put this

18
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:27,799
down fully aluminum chassis man it's beautiful razor gaming systems look so

19
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:31,840
good so these right here are rubber so that it's not going to move around in

20
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:36,640
terms of IO it's pretty straightforward so you've got power in right here as

21
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:40,759
well as two usb3 super speed ports and your headphone microphone combo Jack

22
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:44,520
along the back there's absolutely nothing it's very very clean looking

23
00:01:42,759 --> 00:01:48,040
you've got that illuminated razor logo on the top that we showed you before and

24
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:53,479
then here on the other side you've got a Kensington lock HDMI out as well as an

25
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:56,320
additional usb3 port on the front there's nothing but a hinge and we're

26
00:01:55,119 --> 00:02:02,439
going to go ahead and open that up and I'm going to give you guys another look at of course it's going to be instant on

27
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:07,039
because it's got an SSD but check out that illuminated keyboard man that's

28
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:10,800
gorgeous so you've got the usual gaming keyboard functionality so you can turn

29
00:02:08,959 --> 00:02:14,720
down the brightness of the screen you can turn down the brightness of the

30
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:18,560
gaming keyboard itself so you can decide whether you want that Razor's backl

31
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:24,959
keyboards particularly stuff like their black widow 2013 edition Black Widow

32
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:26,239
ultimate are so bright and so vibrant

33
00:02:24,959 --> 00:02:31,480
man they look good they're claiming about 6 hours of battery life which I

34
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:36,239
actually find more impressive than the just the general slimness and spec and

35
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:39,440
all of that stuff nice big touchpad uh Left Right Mouse buttons right here

36
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:43,080
exactly where they should be we saw one notebook here at the show that had the

37
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:46,760
that had the touchpad above the keyboard so they haven't really done anything

38
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:51,640
sort of outlandish in terms of the overall layout speakers are left and

39
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:56,720
right mounted honestly if you want a nice clean slim notebook that is not

40
00:02:54,599 --> 00:03:02,280
only going to look good but also perform well this is the first razor blade that

41
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:08,760
I can say like yeah if I was buying a laptop this is this is definitely in my

42
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:11,280
in my top list the one thing that I

43
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:15,480
still uh have a bit of a problem with is that this is a TN panel so it is not an

44
00:03:13,640 --> 00:03:19,400
IPS panel I'll be interested to see if the pro version has an IPS panel but

45
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:23,239
unfortunately we don't have one of those here the power brick itself isn't that

46
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:27,879
huge so I can go ahead and do my phone size comparison right there so not bad

47
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:31,599
at all remember guys this is an HTC1 so that could should give you some idea

48
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:35,840
what your looking at in terms of sizing and if 66 in doesn't mean anything to

49
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:39,959
you I should Pro probably also do my trademark phone size comparison with The

50
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:44,280
Notebook itself so that gives you some idea how slim this thing is it's

51
00:03:41,879 --> 00:03:47,840
incredibly well constructed speaking of well constructed that leads us

52
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:52,599
to razor fight stick so this is the

53
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:56,840
first time they've really gotten into this and they're trying to address that

54
00:03:54,760 --> 00:04:02,400
market in a very meaningful way this is the Atrix which they're calling the most

55
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:05,959
customizable fight stick available on the market so okay by you know we'll

56
00:04:04,879 --> 00:04:12,280
start on the outside we'll start on the outside so on the outside it looks like a fight stick so you got a joystick you

57
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:15,040
got some buttons that you can press you got some more buttons you can press on

58
00:04:13,799 --> 00:04:19,720
the side there's your start and your back button on the bottom you've got a nice rubberized finish that's not going

59
00:04:18,359 --> 00:04:23,400
to slip anywhere whether you're holding it on your lap or putting on a table or

60
00:04:21,759 --> 00:04:28,840
wherever else and on the other side you find not a whole lot of anything so when

61
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:31,160
we open it up these are genuine Sano

62
00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:35,639
switches which apparently is a big deal not only that but they're completely

63
00:04:32,840 --> 00:04:39,080
replaceable easily accessible So speaking of easily accessible you've got

64
00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:42,960
an alternate head for the joystick right here that is in a nice little storage

65
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:46,360
compartment you've got a tool for making adjustments so that's a flathead and

66
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:50,759
Phillips head screwdriver you've also got the cord nice little place to store

67
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:55,520
that uh it's only compatible with PC and Xbox 360 but check this out you want to

68
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:59,479
make modifications to this thing they've got a honeycomb structure on the entire

69
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:04,280
bottom of the casing so you can use all this for storage or you can use it to

70
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:08,400
easily screw out any kinds of modifications that you might make to the

71
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:12,639
device so the idea is you can carry around different switches if you find

72
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:16,360
that optimal for a particular playing style or whatever else you want to do

73
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:20,360
you can carry around any little tools and any kind of gear that you need to

74
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:23,560
take with you to a tournament or whether it's just to keep it in one place so you

75
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:27,880
don't lose it when you're using it at home so this is this is a very very

76
00:05:26,039 --> 00:05:31,720
customized very special piece of gaming equipment I'm really looking forward to

77
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:37,880
checking it out in more detail because it's no secret that fight stick owners

78
00:05:34,919 --> 00:05:42,000
are some of the fussiest guys out there when it comes to having just the right

79
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:45,720
thing and looks are another thing that uh that are a factor and of course you

80
00:05:43,479 --> 00:05:50,160
can replace the razor Graphics that are on the top of it with anything you

81
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:54,639
choose simply by swapping it out that's just a Plexi plate holding it down guys
