thanks to dbrand for sponsoring our ces coverage this year check out their
awesome skins at the link below so i like razer and for the most part i
like what they do with their notebook line of products the blade 14 is my
current daily driver late 2016
edition 1060. whatever it is they're calling it these days
but i have to confess that i was pretty taken aback
when they showed me this
this is to be clear
not a product even though it kind of looks like a product but razer's good at
that showing up at these trade shows was something that kind of like actually
from the outside kind of looks like oh yeah like that could kind of work except
oh wait the technology won't be there for i don't know 10 years so
yeah good for you so what we're looking at right now is
called project valerie and you'd be forgiven
for thinking that it looks an awful lot
like a razor blade pro you know the one that i reviewed over here and i liked
some things like the fact that it's slimmer than any other gtx 1080 equipped
notebook um but didn't like other things like the
mechanical keyboard you'd be forgiven for thinking gee it looks an awful lot
like that but with two extra screens glued to the side
but that's not what it is so it's important to understand that
while this concept
does bear a strong resemblance to the blade pro it is in fact not what razer
wants to know i guess is
whether there's someone out there anyone
out there are you out there leave a comment who wants to roll up at the timmy hose
or if you're american i guess uh duncan duncan donuts would be the
equivalent roll up at the timmy hose and effectively have your slash r slash
battle stations rig on the table in front of you
now my response to that would be
g razer it's got competition at least in
its current form from a lot of places the spud pop-up display those usb
external displays by the time something like this were to make it to market even
lightweight vr headsets that are very high resolution so you could use a
virtual desktop or my personal favorite for something that could be done in a
reasonable time frame like a Thunderbolt add-on for the existing blade that would
clip on and just have one cable to power a couple external displays you just kind
of fold it up put in your bag separately that way you don't have to carry it around all the time
but i think these are the kinds of conversations that they're trying to
inspire with this product not necessarily bring
a three by 4k
exo surround gaming machine to market
though they were quick to point out that they have a prototype that works a
little more than this one it only slides like it's got a bit of a different
mechanism that was running battlefield one at
i would say thanks to g-sync somewhat acceptable frame rates
so i think what it comes down to is this i have my skepticism i've presented four
options at least two to three of which i think might make more sense than this
one at least in its current form but i want to hear from you guys in the comments
is razer on the right track for who who
are you and why do you think they're on the right track are you creative professional are you a gamer
or are they completely off their gourd and
this will never fly let me know down below
thanks for checking out this video guys don't miss any of our ces 2017 coverage

protects them from incidental scratches and scrapes you can check them out at
