00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.240
thanks to dbrand for sponsoring our ces coverage this year check out their

00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:12.160
awesome skins at the link below so i like razer and for the most part i

00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:18.720
like what they do with their notebook line of products the blade 14 is my

00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:20.640
current daily driver late 2016

00:00:18.720 --> 00:00:24.720
edition 1060. whatever it is they're calling it these days

00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:29.439
but i have to confess that i was pretty taken aback

00:00:27.599 --> 00:00:34.399
when they showed me this

00:00:31.279 --> 00:00:36.960
this is to be clear

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

00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:43.840
that showing up at these trade shows was something that kind of like actually

00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:47.600
from the outside kind of looks like oh yeah like that could kind of work except

00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:51.840
oh wait the technology won't be there for i don't know 10 years so

00:00:50.160 --> 00:00:56.239
yeah good for you so what we're looking at right now is

00:00:54.719 --> 00:01:02.320
called project valerie and you'd be forgiven

00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:04.720
for thinking that it looks an awful lot

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

00:01:06.720 --> 00:01:13.360
some things like the fact that it's slimmer than any other gtx 1080 equipped

00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:16.720
notebook um but didn't like other things like the

00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:19.680
mechanical keyboard you'd be forgiven for thinking gee it looks an awful lot

00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:23.680
like that but with two extra screens glued to the side

00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:27.439
but that's not what it is so it's important to understand that

00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:30.880
while this concept

00:01:29.119 --> 00:01:36.079
does bear a strong resemblance to the blade pro it is in fact not what razer

00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:40.159
wants to know i guess is

00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:41.920
whether there's someone out there anyone

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

00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:52.000
or if you're american i guess uh duncan duncan donuts would be the

00:01:50.479 --> 00:01:58.320
equivalent roll up at the timmy hose and effectively have your slash r slash

00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:01.119
battle stations rig on the table in front of you

00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:06.399
now my response to that would be

00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:08.879
g razer it's got competition at least in

00:02:06.399 --> 00:02:13.920
its current form from a lot of places the spud pop-up display those usb

00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:17.840
external displays by the time something like this were to make it to market even

00:02:15.760 --> 00:02:21.360
lightweight vr headsets that are very high resolution so you could use a

00:02:19.040 --> 00:02:24.800
virtual desktop or my personal favorite for something that could be done in a

00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:28.640
reasonable time frame like a Thunderbolt add-on for the existing blade that would

00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:31.680
clip on and just have one cable to power a couple external displays you just kind

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

00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:39.440
but i think these are the kinds of conversations that they're trying to

00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:44.080
inspire with this product not necessarily bring

00:02:41.040 --> 00:02:47.840
a three by 4k

00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:49.680
exo surround gaming machine to market

00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:54.000
though they were quick to point out that they have a prototype that works a

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

00:02:54.959 --> 00:03:00.480
mechanism that was running battlefield one at

00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:04.800
i would say thanks to g-sync somewhat acceptable frame rates

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

00:03:06.959 --> 00:03:12.560
options at least two to three of which i think might make more sense than this

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

00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:19.760
is razer on the right track for who who

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

00:03:22.720 --> 00:03:29.040
or are they completely off their gourd and

00:03:26.239 --> 00:03:31.920
this will never fly let me know down below

00:03:30.640 --> 00:03:36.879
