oh man every once in a while in my career as a
as an influencer that's the word for me apparently it's not a word that i
invented but it's one that that brands create for you
every once in a while in my career as an influencer i get to do something
completely off the hook totally unreal a perfect
example of that was uh ces a few years ago
when i managed to convince the ceo of razer min langtan who you guys are
probably well familiar with he's quite a character
no applause though
i convinced him to let me be the first one to see their concept project
christine i believe they called it that year their concept for like a modular
desktop system with like this weird backplane that seemed now now that we're
a few years in the future seems to be kind of based around the idea of
Thunderbolt 3 very forward thinking and it was a really cool thing for me to get
an opportunity to be the first one outside of razer to get to see it and
make a video about it
but that pales in comparison to what i'm
going to be showing today
a huge thanks to freshbooks cloud accounting software for sponsoring ltx
2017. if you're a small business owner or freelancer check them out at the link
below those of you in the gaming scene
will probably be familiar
with this video
can you guys can you guys hear that okay now think about this
in the year since this
video went up on razer's youtube channel
we've had smart fridges smart washing machines
okay and this thing started as a joke
but think about this okay project fiona was a razer
concept product okay the idea of a
gaming tablet that 18 months later
turned into a real product did it not
did the edge pro not turn into a real product
and you might say okay well this is an april fool's joke that's
totally different from showing off a concept product
at ces but maybe
maybe min langtan is a marketing genius
maybe he was fooling us all along because you know how he's
downplayed this thing right he's been like oh it's a joke it's not
even a funny joke if you talk to him about it even one-on-one he's been
completely tight-lipped with me about it but
here today one of a kind
i bring you a real
razor toaster
never be foreseen in person
and here in front of you i'm going to be talking about the
features of the toaster
and i will be making real razor toast
do you want to eat some
all right so let's get this started now i want to make sure that i'm not
misrepresenting the product that i'm unveiling here today because there were
some parts of their video that were clearly actual
april fools that was how they got us right
here we go here we go but there were real features of the
toaster so obviously they're not going to be able to put RGB butter on it in
the toaster we don't have that technology
here we go see that lights on lights on but
many of the many of the ideas integration with razer synapse to tell
you when your toast is ready the usb charging port
the razer logo burned onto your toast
you got you guys are not excited enough
hit me again
all right so all that's left now is to wait in
suspense for the breaker to trip or
for the actual toast to pop out of the toaster
oh i don't know if i can handle this no
no Thunderbolt but it does have infrared light
okay
finished model no no finished model confirmed will have razer chroma
integration with under glow
come on let's hear for RGB
i do have something important to tell you guys while we wait
for the toast to finish mid langtan doesn't know
that the razor toaster is here
i'm dead serious you've probably seen us trolling each
other on twitter if you've ever been at a razer Linus
tech tips meeting you've seen us trolling each other in person
and this is my ultimate troll
he has no idea that this is here
so what's really important today
is that we keep this quiet
okay so we are not
going to blow up min langtan's twitter that's admin
langtan we are not going to blow up razer's
twitter that is atrazer
okay everybody got that got the instructions
wait a minute
wait a minute this is just
this is just toast
this is just normal toast
hold on a minute hold on just let me let me get some clarification here
okay hold on a minute there seems to have been some technical difficulties
so it's actually pretty common for
engineering samples to have two versions
the mock-up one that looks pretty sexy
and the working one
this toaster has been hard at work
behind the stage producing loaves
of actual razor toast
and i will be sharing it with you guys right now
here we go who wants to eat razor toast
remember everybody hashtag don't tell men
okay don't tweet razer
don't tweet min lington okay guys so
i've got something to let you know this is not the only opportunity to get razor
toast they are gonna be making toast for the entire rest of the show over at the
razor booth i think the deal is you got to participate in the mouse mat
competition until the theme of the mouse mat competition is troll Linus okay so
apparently that's their revenge so you design your own mouse mat
the top four are gonna go to the community for voting
and then the top one design is gonna win a custom LTT edition razer blade
and the three runners up are gonna get the winning mouse mat design so this
will be an exclusive item something that you can only get by participating here
