1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,160
we're here at CES 2025 in the Razer Booth where honestly I was planning on

2
00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:10,719
just passing it over although every single person has been telling me you

3
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:15,200
have to go to the Razer Booth they improved their keyboards everyone at

4
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:20,760
Razer has been saying go go go so we're going to test it out now first the older

5
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:22,439
razor blade as you can see it is fairly

6
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:27,679
thick and the keyboard is what you could call not very good although the new one

7
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:33,079
they have somehow both made it substantially thinner while also

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,920
increasing the key travel by 50% now

9
00:00:33,079 --> 00:00:42,960
let's give this a little test here honestly it is great like hats off guys

10
00:00:40,039 --> 00:00:48,079
this keyboard is one of the better ones just period it is a really great

11
00:00:45,719 --> 00:00:52,680
keyboard I'm going along here the key consistency is fantastic if you look

12
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:56,760
when I press on the corner it doesn't get all floppy before they had a problem

13
00:00:54,520 --> 00:01:00,719
where they just kind of move around and make it really hard to tell when exactly

14
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:05,560
you're hitting it but out that is completely solved loads of key travel

15
00:01:03,519 --> 00:01:11,920
and this isn't even a final version of the product so in a pre-pro version damn

16
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:17,240
they have done a really really good job now the blade 16 has had a lot going for

17
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:21,920
it for a long time now that it doesn't have that laptop ruining keyboard we can

18
00:01:20,119 --> 00:01:27,400
look at the rest of it and just generally be very happy with it here we

19
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:31,640
have very solid I/O we have our power in

20
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:33,600
two USB A's USBC because this is AMD not

21
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:39,360
Intel and headphone microphone combo Jack over on the other side HDMI 2.1

22
00:01:36,439 --> 00:01:43,759
another type A type c and a full-size SD card slot I really like to see that I

23
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:48,320
know that our camera operator Andy also really likes it one thing that's

24
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:52,439
unchanged from the previous model is the display but that is not a bad thing so

25
00:01:50,439 --> 00:01:59,200
here we have a 16-in 1600p 240 HZ OLED panel that just looks

26
00:01:56,759 --> 00:02:03,119
freaking fantastic and with the new power that is inside of it the chances

27
00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:09,360
that you can take full advantage of that display is increased even more and here

28
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:11,800
we get up to an RTX 59 which is damn

29
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:17,800
impressive in a laptop of this size and it will be able to get a tgp of 155

30
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:21,080
watts and also we have an AMD ryzen oh I

31
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:25,239
hate these names so much an AMD ryzen AI

32
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:27,280
HX 370 up to that jeez one change to the

33
00:02:25,239 --> 00:02:33,160
new model that I honestly don't think I have ever heard of before is that they

34
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:35,360
made the trackpad smaller I guess on the

35
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:40,040
older version a lot of people were typing with their hands out like this

36
00:02:37,959 --> 00:02:44,879
because of just how darn large the trackpad was and it wasn't particularly

37
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:48,720
comfy so now they have made it a little bit narrower to make where your hands

38
00:02:47,239 --> 00:02:53,440
want to sit while you type on the keyboard just make a little bit more

39
00:02:51,519 --> 00:02:57,959
sense now one thing that didn't quite make sense to me was how they managed to

40
00:02:55,519 --> 00:03:02,640
make the laptop both thinner and increase the key travel by 50 % now part

41
00:03:01,159 --> 00:03:07,360
of that has to do with what they're calling their thermal Hood basically

42
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:13,840
it's a little bit of a cheat to make it seem like it's thinner than it actually

43
00:03:08,959 --> 00:03:17,080
is but at the same time it's not too bad

44
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:19,680
but we get to be the first ones to take

45
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:24,360
this razor blade apart we asked very nicely many times and if you ask enough

46
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:28,799
sometimes you get to take apart a laptop our CES coverage is sponsored by D

47
00:03:26,239 --> 00:03:33,560
Brand's new ghost case 2.0 have you ever owned a clear case that looked like this

48
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:37,680
well with the ghost case 2.0 that's literally impossible dbrands words not

49
00:03:35,799 --> 00:03:40,879
mine in fact they're so confident about their zero yellowing guarantee that

50
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:45,200
they'll literally give you a free replacement for life if it ever turns

51
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:49,519
yellow now you may have heard that clear cases can scratch pretty easily in fact

52
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:53,319
dbrand had that exact problem with their original 1.0 version of the ghost not

53
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:56,920
anymore though they have spent over a year developing an allnew scratch

54
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:01,760
resistant coding and replacing every single ghost 1.0 customer for free so if

55
00:03:59,959 --> 00:04:05,360
you want to get the Holy Grail of clear cases from a company that cares about

56
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:12,319
their customers head over to dbrand.com and for a limited time get $10 off no

57
00:04:08,319 --> 00:04:15,400
coupon required 10 T5 screws later and

58
00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:19,000
we are able to get in in here we have

59
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:21,400
this absolutely massive Vapor chamber

60
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:27,240
they say that it has gone up from 52% coverage of the motherboard to 57% which

61
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:32,360
is a kind of weird stat but it works I guess we do have two SSD slots which is

62
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:36,680
very nice although sadly the sodm slots are gone on this version they said that

63
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:40,360
is because of the thinness and also it allowed them to go up to 8,000 megga

64
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:44,919
transfers per second and get a little bit more performance out of their RAM so

65
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:48,800
fair enough and also here we have a nice little Wi-Fi card it's mediate Tech

66
00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:54,320
though so you might want to swap it out but you can in here we also have a nice

67
00:04:51,479 --> 00:04:59,240
large 90w hour battery we don't have battery life quotes yet but of course

68
00:04:56,639 --> 00:05:04,320
more efficient ryzen processor probably quite a a bit more battery life as well

69
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:07,800
we also get quite a bit more speakers they have six now conveniently the

70
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:11,960
speaker module has fallen out which allows us to confirm that it is a force

71
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:17,600
cancelling driver right here and you also get one Tweeter up top and I

72
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:19,520
imagine THX surround sound I'd recommend

73
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:24,360
turning that off we don't have exact pricing or availability but we do expect

74
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:26,440
it to drop in q1 of 2025 and they said

75
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:30,520
that the pricing is going to be very aggressive on the entry model and that

76
00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:34,520
we will be happy about it so we'll find out soon if that is true

77
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:39,039
maybe you don't want a great big gaming laptop in your backpack though but you

78
00:05:36,759 --> 00:05:44,319
have a great big gaming desktop at your house how do you take that with you well

79
00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:48,639
Razer has a new solution which they call remote play this is in their Razer

80
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:52,280
cortex software and it isn't a beta although it's actually based off of

81
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:57,080
moonlight if you're familiar with it if you're not Moonlight is like a remote

82
00:05:54,440 --> 00:06:01,800
streaming software that is open source and although it is very powerful it is

83
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:03,199
also a hug huge pain in the ass to use

84
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:07,000
fortunately though Razor's implementation of it is incredibly

85
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:12,039
simple so you just say that you're a host here you can go and say that you're

86
00:06:09,639 --> 00:06:17,720
on a desktop over here in their app which works on Android iOS and Windows

87
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:21,599
the thing that's super cool about this is that in a lot of Remote Play

88
00:06:19,599 --> 00:06:24,840
situations you are just copying what's on your desktop and putting on your

89
00:06:23,599 --> 00:06:29,400
mobile device even though the resolutions of the two probably don't

90
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:33,280
match up what they do here though is that that it takes your game and

91
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:39,000
displays it at the native resolution of your mobile device which is just so much

92
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:44,000
better looking I don't see any artifacting here and the latency seems

93
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:49,840
super low which makes sense cuz Moonlight is fantastic but I didn't have

94
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:53,560
to spend the last hour setting it up so I'd call it a win maybe in your remote

95
00:06:51,759 --> 00:06:56,759
play session though things are getting very sweaty you're playing some

96
00:06:54,880 --> 00:07:02,479
12-year-olds in rocket league and they are trying super hard which is where the

97
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:07,960
project aerial chair comes in this right here is basically a Dyson air blade

98
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:13,440
integrated into a gaming chair and it's actually freaking sweet so they have

99
00:07:11,039 --> 00:07:19,440
like a fan that's down here and then along the edges of this mesh it is just

100
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:22,000
going to be blowing on you and it feels

101
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:25,639
incredible but the best part is that maybe you don't want to cool down it's

102
00:07:23,639 --> 00:07:30,039
the winter in Canada you need some warmth well you can just press a button

103
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:33,840
right here the thing's going to turn red and suddenly you have some heating I

104
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:38,599
could see this not only being great for gamers but also fantastic for just

105
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:43,199
general office use because sometimes maybe your neighbor is always running

106
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:47,639
way too hot you're running too cold you can just decide is your chair going to

107
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:51,720
blow hot air on you cold air and it's very very silent so you don't have to

108
00:07:49,479 --> 00:07:57,199
worry about being that that has a really loud fan on their desk I like

109
00:07:54,639 --> 00:08:02,879
it now we don't have pricing yet for project aiel but given that the chair

110
00:07:59,199 --> 00:08:03,879
that attached to without the fan costs

111
00:08:02,879 --> 00:08:09,800
over $1,000 it's safe to say it will not be

112
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:13,319
cheap that is where the iscar V2 comes

113
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:15,479
in they have new lumbar technology which

114
00:08:13,319 --> 00:08:20,639
you don't really get to adjust but if I'm honest it does feel pretty darn good

115
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:24,919
given the fact that this is a $299 chair it has quite a good feel this

116
00:08:23,639 --> 00:08:30,919
foam feels like that it's not going to be complete garbage in a couple of

117
00:08:26,919 --> 00:08:32,839
months like a lot of $299 chairs are so

118
00:08:30,919 --> 00:08:36,360
I'm overall pretty happy with it just like I'm very happy that you made it to

119
00:08:34,599 --> 00:08:40,159
the end of this video huge thanks for watching hit like get subscribe and just

120
00:08:38,519 --> 00:08:42,839
have a great old day see you at our next CS booth
