so lots of various companies are pretty bad for this but i think
razer's the worst where kind of like two
three times a year they're like guys we reinvented the wheel gaming's never
gonna be the same creativity's never gonna be the same like wow and then like it's
it's a pink blade or something like that and you're just like guys cool
i guess but why no that's not the level
of hype but here they might actually have something like
it's the new razer book 13 terrible name
guys you couldn't think of anything like whatever it looks pretty sweet
though let's get into it all right
that's an interesting oh
is that the power brick wow 65 watts and
this size right here is actually pretty impressive it seems like it's just a
standard charger i was wondering if it was like gallium nitride but i guess not
this is a pre-production unit so we are allowed to run benchmarks on it or
whatever but we're going to anyway all right
only a couple little scuffs now but
i don't oh a lot of scuffs actually oh it's fine they're coming off
pre-production marks aside though this thing feels and looks great it just has
the i don't know razor stiffness i guess you could call it it's all aluminum
cnc machined and just generally feels
great has that almost like apple feel about it
you know how they're just super solid i guess razer always had that as well just a nice
very tame razer logo on the back and see that there
oh yeah it's not their typical like straight gamer stuff which i appreciate
in this RGB yeah no RGB
so you get a full size type a awesome
that's the sort of thing that's just such a pain if you're using like an xps
13. you have Thunderbolt on this side
Thunderbolt on the other side so you can you know charge from both sides of the laptop
awesome then we have what full-sized HDMI and my
only complaint here is that it's a micro sd card instead of
full size they probably just didn't have the space though and on something this size i'm not really going to complain
so i guess we just go ahead and turn it on but first
i'm gonna turn you on to our sponsor i fix it
thanks to ifixit for sponsoring today's video ifixit's black friday deals start
now and it's the perfect time of year to start your ifixit tool collection or
give them as gifts can't rap gifts no problem right now
take 10 off the protech bundle and 50 off the ultimate ifixit kit head to
ifixit.com Linus and use code circuit 10 for another 10 off
hurry the code expires december 1st oh there's the RGB
they there's no way that razer could you know make a computer and just
leave it boring this one that we have right here is the 1920x1200
so it's a 16x10 display this is the one
thing that i thought razer probably would get wrong they'd be like it's a productivity machine but
like with gaming display and stuff or whatever
like i figured they go kind of just the blade stealth route and not
fully commit this extra bit right here is so nice though
and it really just adds that like modern
look to it just that nice little it also feels surprisingly heavy like it's not
it's just under three pounds actually just under three pounds is kind of heavy it's
like really dense like when you hold it it has that real just
block of aluminum feel so if you look here and
there's absolutely no flex in the chassis at all like i'm just
i'm pushing really hard right now one thing that is interesting about this
screen is that it has gorilla glass on it so you can
i'm not going to do anything that would scratch it but the things that would
scratch other laptop screens are not going to scratch this one nearly
as easily there is a version with their i5 model that doesn't have
touch wouldn't necessarily recommend getting that one and there's
also a 4k touch model which i also probably
wouldn't recommend like this is plenty sharp i can bring it right about
here i can start seeing pixels and i don't know i'm not doing this very often so this right here
has an Intel core i7 1165 g7
that gets you four cores one of the tiger-like guys
along with that we have 16 gigabytes of RAM i believe that that's all soldered
we'll find that out in a bit a oh 240 Gigabyte SSD
i would want to see at least 512 and then yeah the iris xe graphics
which you know if you actually want to
game get a razer blade 15. probably just
completely skip the blade stealth especially since now this thing right
here is going to deliver not the same but a very similar gaming
experience to what you get on the stealth because the Intel xd graphics
are quite good um
oh okay first big problem
small backspace you'll probably get used to it but that's
why that's it i'm not super concerned about it
you will get used to that after being really mad for a week or two
i don't know how i feel about this if i'm honest
it's good but i don't know if it's great
it seems like the problem is is that the
top of the key is a lot more like it has a lot of give
whereas the bottom of the key has a nice snap to it so if you're hitting the
bottom of the key it's fine if you're doing something like coming
across oh no some so like z
it's totally fine there like you press the top and it just
actuates but if you look like q
you're already hitting like the chassis before the keys
actuating so they're not quite consistent
so some of them like j here j is a great
key you could hit j all day long yeah they're just inconsistent
okay let's type on it for like a minute and then i'll get back to you
if i still don't really like it
yep uh that's what like maybe a b
plus i think Linus might enjoy it more
he kind of likes the older razer laptop keyboards which i
hated so your mileage might vary
but i think it's safe to say that it it doesn't
quite stack up to like the dells or the
hps in a similar form factor as for the
trackpad though that's at least a bright point on this
um it's the kind of trackpad that you sort of just don't really think about because it just
does what you want it to do and is like they're maximizing their
space up here really no complaints for that okay we're
gonna try and do the classic synced crab
rave
yeah that's it that's all you're getting
what okay we're
yeah you got wrecked razor that's that's
hilariously bad um
that's that's not a 2020 speaker set up in a what is this 1800
laptop or something let's find that out all right 1599.99 gets you the speakers
of a 600 laptop i imagine at least the
battery is pretty good so it's 55 watt hours you're going to
get what a new Intel probably like nine 10
hours something like that that said you can still get that in much cheaper laptops the layout in here
though is really nice you just get your SSD that you can take out
you don't get access to the RAM but
whatever i don't really expect that in laptops like this then we have this nice
big old vapor chamber that just kind of goes all the way around here i don't
know that we've seen a vapor chamber in a thin and light yet they're just
kind of they're taking over everything it's freaking sweet that does mean though
that like your Intel xe graphics and stuff are probably going
to run probably the best out of all the laptops
around on this guy just because of that extra cooling Intel is really good in their
mobile designs for just extracting every single last little watt
that they can out of your cooling and vrm system so i imagine this
right here will be among if not the fastest like little
13-inch laptops that you can get i guess that's about it
i'm kind of torn on this like razer got everything that everyone else gets wrong
right like in this tiny laptop they got
they got great i o the i o is awesome
cooling excellent big old battery they
have the 16 by 10 display they have everything that i would expect
them to totally screw up oh Windows facial recognition they also have that
but they just kind of lost it with the keyboard for me personally like if
you're using a laptop like this what you're going to be doing most of the time
i think is like answering emails
writing in word documents watching crabs dance
you can do that very well on this actually excel spreadsheets
all of that's going to be fine but could be better
just because of that keyboard and the speakers are pretty disappointing as
well i really want to see a razer book version 2 with a better keyboard
and a brighter screen and better speakers and then i'll probably use it
every single day anyway i hope that you guys have a great all day i get subscribed to short
circuit uh get subscribed to LTT and i don't
know go buy something from a local business they're not doing too great right now
see you later
