our ces 2019 coverage is brought to you by dbrand their grip case is Linus
accident proof and their prism screen protectors protect your screen like
really really well before that though check out this so razer is updating the
blade advanced as you might expect it is
now going to be available with an rtx 2060 that is a non-max q that is a
full-fledged rtx 2060 or an rtx 2070 or
2080 even both of those ones with max q
design as NVIDIA says also known as with the clock speeds
throttled a little bit but that's not even the most important
thing they changed about this get get get in here get in here check this out
okay so first of all that right there yes my friends we've got Windows hello
with the ir camera so finally alex can stop complaining
about razer laptops not having that feature and come check this out oh
what and you're probably like well what was
the big deal there i don't really get it hold on a second where's my where's mine
here okay okay now we look at it side by side the
secondary functions of the keys are illuminated i have been complaining
about this for three years this is a
huge bummer for me actually being that backlighting on the secondary functions
of the f keys and the number row is no
longer backlit which sucks because these are the things that i'm most likely to
have trouble remembering in the dark three years they traded
having all the functions illuminated for chroma and i was like really guys really
we're killing functionality over RGB well now we can have both and the best
thing is they didn't have to change the key switches so these are still the same
ones that both alex and i liked from the original blade advanced there's a couple
of other tweaks it can now accept up to 64 gigs of RAM though razer doesn't
currently have any plans to offer a configurator on their site so you could
actually have it shipped with that so they're all 16 gig configurations out of
the box they have tuned the speakers a little bit and i think that's pretty
much the majority of it still 144 hertz display but
on the display front there's some other interesting news they've got a prototype
here with a 240 hertz display silky smooth it's only
1080p but if i was an esports player a 240hz display with an rtx 2060 would be
a pretty nice place to be in terms of a cost to performance and experience ratio
and this one right here is the one that really
grabbed our attention when we walked in the room this has a prototype OLED
display and they haven't really
well they don't have anything to really tell us about when we could expect to
see something like this or even if the OLED manufacturers are going to figure
out the burn-in issues that have plagued them up until this point but
wow does it ever look good it looks exactly like you'd expect as good as
OLED but on a laptop razer also has a monitor it's up to 144
hertz it's got razer chroma RGB in the
base freesync and ah yes right this is going to be
their claim to fame on this guy the forged aluminum stand that still manages
to have height adjust so that's pretty nice and built-in cable management so
these are usb so you can plug in your peripherals and then it's got a single
type c that it uses as an uplink and then also HDMI and uh
uh this one's tethered to a power brick down here
6.99 for that guy so that's all pretty good stuff but the coolest thing we saw
was actually on the peripheral side for a change i don't even think we've made a
video about razer's peripherals in their suite in at least a couple of years but
this is something that once again i thought i
was going to think that it was stupid
but then it was far less stupid than i thought i
would think it would be so this is razer's vibrating headphones
which we reviewed recently and said well it's actually not that stupid
now now we see maybe not the end game but certainly the
next step in the game because everything that i am touching right now
that is to do with my gaming experience has haptic feedback so this wrist rest
has a haptic motor over here on the left exactly where you'd rest your hand on
wasd and it's strong enough that you can actually kind of feel it throughout the
keyboard but subtle enough that it's not just like well you know old haptics
where you're holding the controller and it's like
like it's not like that the mouse has a haptic motor in the palm and then the
chair actually has haptic feedback in
this uh this rear cushion here and the way that this works is just like the
headphones where depending on the direction that sound is coming from so
it uses surround sound data it gives you a haptic response so as you're stepping
around you can actually feel it in the keyboard as you
use your jetpack you can actually
feel the rumble behind you and if you fire a rocket for example and
turn around you feel it in the back and if you fire a rocket and it's in the
front you feel it more in your keyboard and in your mouse
even though overwatch doesn't have any specific tuning
for these peripherals it works shockingly well now razer's vision for
the future is that they would actually be able to get this technology
integrated into games and i'm sure they'd love to see a wide variety of
different peripherals and wearables to enhance the gaming experience
and i don't think they really envision it as something that's for competitive
players but if you're just looking for immersion
it is shocking how not dumb the whole thing feels even in these very
early stages so i think that wraps it up for the razer booth
as always this year our ces 2019 coverage is brought to you by dbrand the
dbrand grip case is all about helping
you keep a grip on your phone it's got this super grippy material it's got
their trademark extra clicky buttons all over the case and as before
it is basically Linus proof it's dbrand
so you can customize it with any look you'd like and the whole thing is
precision fit for your device they're prism screen protectors on the other
hand these are oh these are something else just like the grip it protects your
phone but the way it does it just blew my mind the demo you're watching right
now none of that is staged that's real that's a prism screen protector on the
front of the phone and it feels glassy but then you go and you hit it with
stuff or you hit your phone against stuff and somehow you can just peel the
whole thing away and it's like it never happened obviously don't be an idiot
you know if you you know put it under a hydraulic press
your phone's to get destroyed but between the grip and the prism man do
they have a phone protective solution on their hands and you can check it out at
the link below so thanks for watching guys don't miss
