00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,240
thanks to dbrand for sponsoring our ces coverage this year check out their

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:12,160
awesome skins at the link below so i like razer and for the most part i

3
00:00:09,599 --> 00:00:18,720
like what they do with their notebook line of products the blade 14 is my

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:20,640
current daily driver late 2016

5
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:24,720
edition 1060. whatever it is they're calling it these days

6
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:29,439
but i have to confess that i was pretty taken aback

7
00:00:27,599 --> 00:00:34,399
when they showed me this

8
00:00:31,279 --> 00:00:36,960
this is to be clear

9
00:00:34,399 --> 00:00:40,800
not a product even though it kind of looks like a product but razer's good at

10
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:43,840
that showing up at these trade shows was something that kind of like actually

11
00:00:42,399 --> 00:00:47,600
from the outside kind of looks like oh yeah like that could kind of work except

12
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:51,840
oh wait the technology won't be there for i don't know 10 years so

13
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:56,239
yeah good for you so what we're looking at right now is

14
00:00:54,719 --> 00:01:02,320
called project valerie and you'd be forgiven

15
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:04,720
for thinking that it looks an awful lot

16
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:08,560
like a razor blade pro you know the one that i reviewed over here and i liked

17
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:13,360
some things like the fact that it's slimmer than any other gtx 1080 equipped

18
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:16,720
notebook um but didn't like other things like the

19
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:19,680
mechanical keyboard you'd be forgiven for thinking gee it looks an awful lot

20
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:23,680
like that but with two extra screens glued to the side

21
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:27,439
but that's not what it is so it's important to understand that

22
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:30,880
while this concept

23
00:01:29,119 --> 00:01:36,079
does bear a strong resemblance to the blade pro it is in fact not what razer

24
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:40,159
wants to know i guess is

25
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:41,920
whether there's someone out there anyone

26
00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:48,720
out there are you out there leave a comment who wants to roll up at the timmy hose

27
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:52,000
or if you're american i guess uh duncan duncan donuts would be the

28
00:01:50,479 --> 00:01:58,320
equivalent roll up at the timmy hose and effectively have your slash r slash

29
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:01,119
battle stations rig on the table in front of you

30
00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:06,399
now my response to that would be

31
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:08,879
g razer it's got competition at least in

32
00:02:06,399 --> 00:02:13,920
its current form from a lot of places the spud pop-up display those usb

33
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:17,840
external displays by the time something like this were to make it to market even

34
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:21,360
lightweight vr headsets that are very high resolution so you could use a

35
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:24,800
virtual desktop or my personal favorite for something that could be done in a

36
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:28,640
reasonable time frame like a Thunderbolt add-on for the existing blade that would

37
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:31,680
clip on and just have one cable to power a couple external displays you just kind

38
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:35,840
of fold it up put in your bag separately that way you don't have to carry it around all the time

39
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:39,440
but i think these are the kinds of conversations that they're trying to

40
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:44,080
inspire with this product not necessarily bring

41
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:47,840
a three by 4k

42
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:49,680
exo surround gaming machine to market

43
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:54,000
though they were quick to point out that they have a prototype that works a

44
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:56,959
little more than this one it only slides like it's got a bit of a different

45
00:02:54,959 --> 00:03:00,480
mechanism that was running battlefield one at

46
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:04,800
i would say thanks to g-sync somewhat acceptable frame rates

47
00:03:02,959 --> 00:03:09,120
so i think what it comes down to is this i have my skepticism i've presented four

48
00:03:06,959 --> 00:03:12,560
options at least two to three of which i think might make more sense than this

49
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:18,159
one at least in its current form but i want to hear from you guys in the comments

50
00:03:14,879 --> 00:03:19,760
is razer on the right track for who who

51
00:03:18,159 --> 00:03:25,440
are you and why do you think they're on the right track are you creative professional are you a gamer

52
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:29,040
or are they completely off their gourd and

53
00:03:26,239 --> 00:03:31,920
this will never fly let me know down below

54
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:36,879

57
00:03:44,959 --> 00:03:50,959
