00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.160
we're here at CES 2025 in the Razer Booth where honestly I was planning on

00:00:05.520 --> 00:00:10.719
just passing it over although every single person has been telling me you

00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:15.200
have to go to the Razer Booth they improved their keyboards everyone at

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

00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:22.439
razor blade as you can see it is fairly

00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:27.679
thick and the keyboard is what you could call not very good although the new one

00:00:25.400 --> 00:00:33.079
they have somehow both made it substantially thinner while also

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:35.920
increasing the key travel by 50% now

00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:42.960
let's give this a little test here honestly it is great like hats off guys

00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:48.079
this keyboard is one of the better ones just period it is a really great

00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:52.680
keyboard I'm going along here the key consistency is fantastic if you look

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

00:00:54.520 --> 00:01:00.719
where they just kind of move around and make it really hard to tell when exactly

00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:05.560
you're hitting it but out that is completely solved loads of key travel

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

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

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

00:01:20.119 --> 00:01:27.400
look at the rest of it and just generally be very happy with it here we

00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:31.640
have very solid I/O we have our power in

00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:33.600
two USB A's USBC because this is AMD not

00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:39.360
Intel and headphone microphone combo Jack over on the other side HDMI 2.1

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

00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:48.320
know that our camera operator Andy also really likes it one thing that's

00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:52.439
unchanged from the previous model is the display but that is not a bad thing so

00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:59.200
here we have a 16-in 1600p 240 HZ OLED panel that just looks

00:01:56.759 --> 00:02:03.119
freaking fantastic and with the new power that is inside of it the chances

00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:09.360
that you can take full advantage of that display is increased even more and here

00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:11.800
we get up to an RTX 59 which is damn

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

00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:21.080
watts and also we have an AMD ryzen oh I

00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:25.239
hate these names so much an AMD ryzen AI

00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:27.280
HX 370 up to that jeez one change to the

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

00:02:29.920 --> 00:02:35.360
made the trackpad smaller I guess on the

00:02:33.160 --> 00:02:40.040
older version a lot of people were typing with their hands out like this

00:02:37.959 --> 00:02:44.879
because of just how darn large the trackpad was and it wasn't particularly

00:02:42.760 --> 00:02:48.720
comfy so now they have made it a little bit narrower to make where your hands

00:02:47.239 --> 00:02:53.440
want to sit while you type on the keyboard just make a little bit more

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

00:02:55.519 --> 00:03:02.640
make the laptop both thinner and increase the key travel by 50 % now part

00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:07.360
of that has to do with what they're calling their thermal Hood basically

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

00:03:08.959 --> 00:03:17.080
is but at the same time it's not too bad

00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:19.680
but we get to be the first ones to take

00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:24.360
this razor blade apart we asked very nicely many times and if you ask enough

00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:28.799
sometimes you get to take apart a laptop our CES coverage is sponsored by D

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

00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:37.680
well with the ghost case 2.0 that's literally impossible dbrands words not

00:03:35.799 --> 00:03:40.879
mine in fact they're so confident about their zero yellowing guarantee that

00:03:39.480 --> 00:03:45.200
they'll literally give you a free replacement for life if it ever turns

00:03:42.920 --> 00:03:49.519
yellow now you may have heard that clear cases can scratch pretty easily in fact

00:03:47.760 --> 00:03:53.319
dbrand had that exact problem with their original 1.0 version of the ghost not

00:03:51.760 --> 00:03:56.920
anymore though they have spent over a year developing an allnew scratch

00:03:55.000 --> 00:04:01.760
resistant coding and replacing every single ghost 1.0 customer for free so if

00:03:59.959 --> 00:04:05.360
you want to get the Holy Grail of clear cases from a company that cares about

00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:12.319
their customers head over to dbrand.com and for a limited time get $10 off no

00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:15.400
coupon required 10 T5 screws later and

00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:19.000
we are able to get in in here we have

00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:21.400
this absolutely massive Vapor chamber

00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:27.240
they say that it has gone up from 52% coverage of the motherboard to 57% which

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

00:04:29.880 --> 00:04:36.680
very nice although sadly the sodm slots are gone on this version they said that

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

00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:44.919
transfers per second and get a little bit more performance out of their RAM so

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

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

00:04:51.479 --> 00:04:59.240
large 90w hour battery we don't have battery life quotes yet but of course

00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:04.320
more efficient ryzen processor probably quite a a bit more battery life as well

00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:07.800
we also get quite a bit more speakers they have six now conveniently the

00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:11.960
speaker module has fallen out which allows us to confirm that it is a force

00:05:09.880 --> 00:05:17.600
cancelling driver right here and you also get one Tweeter up top and I

00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:19.520
imagine THX surround sound I'd recommend

00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:24.360
turning that off we don't have exact pricing or availability but we do expect

00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:26.440
it to drop in q1 of 2025 and they said

00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:30.520
that the pricing is going to be very aggressive on the entry model and that

00:05:28.280 --> 00:05:34.520
we will be happy about it so we'll find out soon if that is true

00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:39.039
maybe you don't want a great big gaming laptop in your backpack though but you

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

00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:48.639
Razer has a new solution which they call remote play this is in their Razer

00:05:46.440 --> 00:05:52.280
cortex software and it isn't a beta although it's actually based off of

00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:57.080
moonlight if you're familiar with it if you're not Moonlight is like a remote

00:05:54.440 --> 00:06:01.800
streaming software that is open source and although it is very powerful it is

00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:03.199
also a hug huge pain in the ass to use

00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:07.000
fortunately though Razor's implementation of it is incredibly

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

00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:17.720
on a desktop over here in their app which works on Android iOS and Windows

00:06:15.440 --> 00:06:21.599
the thing that's super cool about this is that in a lot of Remote Play

00:06:19.599 --> 00:06:24.840
situations you are just copying what's on your desktop and putting on your

00:06:23.599 --> 00:06:29.400
mobile device even though the resolutions of the two probably don't

00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:33.280
match up what they do here though is that that it takes your game and

00:06:30.960 --> 00:06:39.000
displays it at the native resolution of your mobile device which is just so much

00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:44.000
better looking I don't see any artifacting here and the latency seems

00:06:41.440 --> 00:06:49.840
super low which makes sense cuz Moonlight is fantastic but I didn't have

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

00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:56.759
play session though things are getting very sweaty you're playing some

00:06:54.880 --> 00:07:02.479
12-year-olds in rocket league and they are trying super hard which is where the

00:06:59.840 --> 00:07:07.960
project aerial chair comes in this right here is basically a Dyson air blade

00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:13.440
integrated into a gaming chair and it's actually freaking sweet so they have

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

00:07:16.280 --> 00:07:22.000
going to be blowing on you and it feels

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

00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:30.039
the winter in Canada you need some warmth well you can just press a button

00:07:27.440 --> 00:07:33.840
right here the thing's going to turn red and suddenly you have some heating I

00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:38.599
could see this not only being great for gamers but also fantastic for just

00:07:36.080 --> 00:07:43.199
general office use because sometimes maybe your neighbor is always running

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

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

00:07:49.479 --> 00:07:57.199
worry about being that that has a really loud fan on their desk I like

00:07:54.639 --> 00:08:02.879
it now we don't have pricing yet for project aiel but given that the chair

00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:03.879
that attached to without the fan costs

00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:09.800
over $1,000 it's safe to say it will not be

00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:13.319
cheap that is where the iscar V2 comes

00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:15.479
in they have new lumbar technology which

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

00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:24.919
given the fact that this is a $299 chair it has quite a good feel this

00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:30.919
foam feels like that it's not going to be complete garbage in a couple of

00:08:26.919 --> 00:08:32.839
months like a lot of $299 chairs are so

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

00:08:34.599 --> 00:08:40.159
the end of this video huge thanks for watching hit like get subscribe and just

00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:42.839
have a great old day see you at our next CS booth
