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

00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:11.080
trusted gaming gear partner is Corsair Vengeance and our trusted retail partner

00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:18.760
is nc.com welcome to the Razer suite at

00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:20.560
computex 2013 this is the thing that

00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:26.519
everyone's excited about this is the razor blade 14-inch gaming laptop this

00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:30.800
features an Intel Core i7 fourth generation Haswell processor so that

00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:36.600
means yes guys we are benefiting in a big way

00:00:34.120 --> 00:00:41.320
from the improved performances has well okay yeah a little bit but mainly from

00:00:38.879 --> 00:00:44.879
the improved power consumption so it's finally getting to the point now where

00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:50.520
there's so little heat output and so little power consumption that a Haswell

00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:58.120
gaming notebook with a GTX 765m can be crammed into a 66 in form

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

00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:05.760
upgradeable to 256 it's got a 14in 1600x

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

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

00:01:13.520 --> 00:01:19.479
ventilation on the bottom is provided by a couple of fans there are two rubber

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

00:01:20.720 --> 00:01:27.799
down fully aluminum chassis man it's beautiful razor gaming systems look so

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

00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:36.640
terms of IO it's pretty straightforward so you've got power in right here as

00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:40.759
well as two usb3 super speed ports and your headphone microphone combo Jack

00:01:38.880 --> 00:01:44.520
along the back there's absolutely nothing it's very very clean looking

00:01:42.759 --> 00:01:48.040
you've got that illuminated razor logo on the top that we showed you before and

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

00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:56.320
additional usb3 port on the front there's nothing but a hinge and we're

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

00:01:59.960 --> 00:02:07.039
because it's got an SSD but check out that illuminated keyboard man that's

00:02:04.960 --> 00:02:10.800
gorgeous so you've got the usual gaming keyboard functionality so you can turn

00:02:08.959 --> 00:02:14.720
down the brightness of the screen you can turn down the brightness of the

00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:18.560
gaming keyboard itself so you can decide whether you want that Razor's backl

00:02:16.720 --> 00:02:24.959
keyboards particularly stuff like their black widow 2013 edition Black Widow

00:02:20.760 --> 00:02:26.239
ultimate are so bright and so vibrant

00:02:24.959 --> 00:02:31.480
man they look good they're claiming about 6 hours of battery life which I

00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:36.239
actually find more impressive than the just the general slimness and spec and

00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:39.440
all of that stuff nice big touchpad uh Left Right Mouse buttons right here

00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:43.080
exactly where they should be we saw one notebook here at the show that had the

00:02:41.200 --> 00:02:46.760
that had the touchpad above the keyboard so they haven't really done anything

00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:51.640
sort of outlandish in terms of the overall layout speakers are left and

00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:56.720
right mounted honestly if you want a nice clean slim notebook that is not

00:02:54.599 --> 00:03:02.280
only going to look good but also perform well this is the first razor blade that

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

00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:11.280
in my top list the one thing that I

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

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

00:03:17.760 --> 00:03:23.239
unfortunately we don't have one of those here the power brick itself isn't that

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

00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:31.599
at all remember guys this is an HTC1 so that could should give you some idea

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

00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:39.959
you I should Pro probably also do my trademark phone size comparison with The

00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:44.280
Notebook itself so that gives you some idea how slim this thing is it's

00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:47.840
incredibly well constructed speaking of well constructed that leads us

00:03:47.920 --> 00:03:52.599
to razor fight stick so this is the

00:03:51.200 --> 00:03:56.840
first time they've really gotten into this and they're trying to address that

00:03:54.760 --> 00:04:02.400
market in a very meaningful way this is the Atrix which they're calling the most

00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:05.959
customizable fight stick available on the market so okay by you know we'll

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

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:15.040
got some buttons that you can press you got some more buttons you can press on

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

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

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

00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:31.160
we open it up these are genuine Sano

00:04:28.840 --> 00:04:35.639
switches which apparently is a big deal not only that but they're completely

00:04:32.840 --> 00:04:39.080
replaceable easily accessible So speaking of easily accessible you've got

00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:42.960
an alternate head for the joystick right here that is in a nice little storage

00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:46.360
compartment you've got a tool for making adjustments so that's a flathead and

00:04:44.440 --> 00:04:50.759
Phillips head screwdriver you've also got the cord nice little place to store

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

00:04:53.440 --> 00:04:59.479
make modifications to this thing they've got a honeycomb structure on the entire

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

00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:08.400
easily screw out any kinds of modifications that you might make to the

00:05:06.320 --> 00:05:12.639
device so the idea is you can carry around different switches if you find

00:05:10.320 --> 00:05:16.360
that optimal for a particular playing style or whatever else you want to do

00:05:14.520 --> 00:05:20.360
you can carry around any little tools and any kind of gear that you need to

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

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

00:05:26.039 --> 00:05:31.720
customized very special piece of gaming equipment I'm really looking forward to

00:05:29.960 --> 00:05:37.880
checking it out in more detail because it's no secret that fight stick owners

00:05:34.919 --> 00:05:42.000
are some of the fussiest guys out there when it comes to having just the right

00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:45.720
thing and looks are another thing that uh that are a factor and of course you

00:05:43.479 --> 00:05:50.160
can replace the razor Graphics that are on the top of it with anything you

00:05:48.080 --> 00:05:54.639
choose simply by swapping it out that's just a Plexi plate holding it down guys

00:05:52.440 --> 00:05:58.039
