a backpack really Linus a razor backpack do they even make backpacks is this
video even gonna be good these are all great questions but if i didn't think it
was going to be good would i make a video about it
this graphics card for 80 dollars makes absolutely no sense and nobody should
buy it a product that sucks and is cheap this magnetic box is really nice it
probably costs about as much to make as the headphones themselves inside you get
some stickers a certificate of gullibility or excuse me sorry i screwed
that up paying 200 for half baked products like nemo wow a
whole three pack for only 20 however will you make a profit on that
or is it the worst kind of snake oil nonsense that i've seen in quite some
time better than useless fry the existing logo off go to town with a
reinforced cutting disc i think it's safe to call this an instant masterpiece
500 to maintain seven days of recorded video a product that is supposed to
reduce bulk has me carrying fuel cells a
reactor a recharge station and then something to power the recharge station
with brilliant anyway
never mind that actually uh let's just get started
Intel's new 750 series ssds utilize the NVMe standard providing speeds never
seen before on consumer storage drives click my face or this bag to learn more
all right so it's not often that we tackle the backpack category and every
time we do i like to think that there's some kind of a fresh
reason for it there was the one with an integrated battery bank the one with a
pelican grade laptop compartment and before that a couple of averkey bags
that were just plain great value for the dollar but today's video is not about
any of those things at 160 the razer
tactical bag is not going to win any performance per dollar awards especially
when you consider that the primary performance metric for a bag is
literally just carrying stuff so we could pretty easily create something
with a better price to performance ratio
but the reason i'm making this video is because whatever you guys might think
about this fact as Linus it's pretty darn easy for me to get a keeper unit of
any product i want from a high margin category like backpacks and for eight
years i have faithfully stood by my Windows vista ogio bag due to its
quality comfort timeless style and did i
mention quality that thing has been a tank and i had no intention of replacing
it until it just kind of happened by accident when i booked my dinner with
min tan from razer in march he congratulated me on my new blade 14 and
asked me if i had one of their backpacks to go with it to which i replied no
and before i could say and i'm really not interested in one
since that's just another stupid thing to carry all over asia with me for the
next two and a half weeks he said oh okay cool i'll bring one to dinner for
you so he handed it to me when i arrived and it was actually kind of love at
first sight i moved all my gear over and haven't looked back for a moment so then
what's so special about it frankly not that much it's just a really
well executed bag with lots of versatile pockets and rugged enough construction
that it looks like it'll last me another 10 years or more just like my ogio not
to mention it's much more comfortable than my old bag so let's take a tour of
it shall we all backpacks start for me
at the contact point with your back and the tactical bag excels here it's
designed to be worn properly it features a chest strap that makes you look like a
dorcas but is totally worth it when you have a lot of weight in your bag and
with the shoulder straps snug but not tight and restrictive there are decent
pads positioned on either side of my spine and in the small of my back i
think i'd pay an extra 10 bucks for these to be a denser foam but solid
placement of it made this backpack comfortable even during long days
walking around bird sanctuary zoos and the like in asia the same can be said of
the padding on the shoulder straps i do wish it was thicker but the
functionality of it is still a strong point moving around to the side we've
got a buckle whose purpose is unclear and a large side pocket that i generally
use for stuff i don't want to get lost in the main compartment but that i don't
really need to get to all the time like my toiletries and medications while
traveling a great feature of these is that even though they're held down by
velcro nature's untimely point of
failure you can optionally run a strap through the cover to lock it in place
on the bottom is a rain cover that thanks to the water resistance of the
bag's ballistic nylon construction you'll only need in very wet conditions
then at the front there's this whoa that's a lot of velcro isn't it this
velcro loop system allows any front mounted pockets to be modularly
rearranged and allows you to put the included razor stickers on it wherever
you want or more importantly allows you to just take them right off
if you don't need quite as many logos all over your backpack these pockets are
the perfect size for a mouse which is nice but i think razer missed an
opportunity to put a clever water bottle holder here
next we'll open up the organizer compartment by opening the two really
nice smooth feeling zippers to reveal a scratch proof tablet pouch and four main
organization zones one is for business cards or other little random things i
wish these were deeper by the way then below that is a neoprene pocket that's
perfect for my 10 000 milliamp hour battery bank and a couple of dedicated
usb drive holders on the other side is a mesh pocket random stuff you need easily
goes here and then below that a similar pocket but with a zipper this time for
sd cards small adapters and other stuff that you really don't want to be fishing
around for when you need them razer missed the boat on not including
anywhere to put a writing implement but the good news is the rest of the bottom
of this pouch is big enough that i can easily throw all my mini screwdrivers in
and a pen if i so desire the top pouches
are accessed by undoing the clips that hold down the zipper cover and inside
the main compartment you'll find not a whole heck of a lot there's a
protective divider in here that'll allow books or documents to be stored safely a
little loop at the top for hanging something and then once you remove the
for most people bulky and not super useful headphone container thing it's
just straight up cargo space exactly the way i like it which leads us finally to
the last pouch for your laptop or notebook it can hold up to a 17.3 inch
monstrosity features a little bit of padding at the bottom but other than
that no extra gimmicks just a laptop pouch which is surprising because i
would have expected no offense someone like razer to try and have some of those
geek backpack features like headphone wiring cable management holes and stuff
like that but instead they stuck with a practical no-nonsense design as though
the person in charge of the product has actually had the experience of ripping
their earbuds out when they forgot they had their discman cable managed in their
backpack in high school not that i speak from experience
speaking of speaking i'm speaking to you now about ting.com they're the mobile
carrier that is focused on customer service and customer satisfaction first
whoa you call them and you don't speak to a
robot you speak directly to a person whoa
you pay only for what you use and that's at a reasonable rate the average ting
bill is only 24 dollars a month per device
and if you're stuck in a contract and switch to ting they will cover 25 of
your cancellation fee up to 75 bucks so head over to ting.com and try out their
savings calculator to find out how much you'll save and when you sign up at our
link in the video description by the way you'll also get twenty five dollars in
service credit or twenty five dollars towards a new device whoa
i wonder if they're gonna adopt that as their new slogan ting.com
probably not anyway that's the razer tactical bag did
