code Linus for 10% off so we're here in the Razer Suite where they have
0:12
almost made the dreams that started
0:16
three years ago for me with the magma 3T
0:19
external PCI Express Thunderbolt enclosure come true and there's a couple
0:24
of different pieces to this story so first up is the razor blade stealth this
0:30
is a 12 1/2 in Ultrabook and yes I
0:33
actually mean Ultrabook in the certified sense of the word because they did not
0:38
go and put a dedicated graphics card in here more on that later so it's got it's
0:43
super thin it's super light the screen is gorgeous all that stuff that you'd
0:47
expect from an Ultrabook and it does have Intel onboard Graphics to go along
0:51
with the onboard Graphics it's got a core U 8 gigs of RAM and then the
0:56
storage configuration is variable depending on whether you buy buy an ENT
1:00
level skew at $9.99 or go all the way up to the $1,600 model to get 512 gigs of
1:05
PCI Express Bas storage the entry level one is 128 you also get screen upgrades
1:10
As you move up the pricing structure so you go from Quad HD all the way up to 4k
1:14
on the top two tiers of products now in
1:18
terms of the physicality of the device at $9.99 you'd expect it to be built
1:22
pretty well and honestly I think Razer has done a pretty good job of this in
1:26
the past and they continue to do a good job here the aluminum Construction is
1:30
immaculate like I just said before the screen looks fantastic and I even think
1:34
they did a great job of the io they've got a USB 3.1 type-c connector that also
1:39
handles Thunderbolt 3 again more on that later they've got two USB 3 ports as
1:44
well as an HDMI port and a dedicated uh
1:48
3 and 1 12 mm audio jack uh that's going
1:51
to handle both your headphones and your microphone but that's really not the
1:57
focal point for me even though Razer isn't even about pricing of this guy and
2:01
they really want the star of the show to be the Ultrabook yes the Ultrabook is
2:05
very cool but what you can do with the Ultrabook when you get back to your desk
2:09
is what really makes my nerd Juices Flow
2:12
this is the razor core and is the answer
2:15
to what I would have wanted that magma 3T thing to be so it uses a single
2:20
Thunderbolt 3 Connection to get a PCI Express 16x it reports in GPU but it's
2:27
running at PCIe 3.0 4X graphics card
2:30
connected to the system so you can have a full discrete graphics card experience
2:35
with this system and do it with just a single connector obviously you have to
2:38
plug this puppy into the wall to uh to power it as well and the best thing
2:43
about it is that it's actually simple to upgrade as well it's only a couple of
2:48
screws in fact you can open up the internals toolless and boom you can pop
2:52
in pretty much any dual slot graphics card as long as it's a fairly standard
2:57
height pretty freaking cool and the quality of the unit feels amazing and
3:02
actually from what I know about the enhanced 500 wat power supply that they've gotten there should be as
3:07
amazing as it feels I'm really excited
3:10
for what the future holds here unfortunately Razer won't confirm for me
3:14
whether we can get a compatible notebook in the future from them that has a
3:17
quadcore CPU in it but I have to hope that the blade 14
3:23
and the larger blades will also get upgraded to use this thing because this
3:27
is a pretty awesome way to upgrade a laptop
3:30
