thanks to dbrand for sponsoring our ces coverage this year check out their
0:04
awesome skins at the link below so i like razer and for the most part i
0:09
like what they do with their notebook line of products the blade 14 is my
0:14
current daily driver late 2016
0:18
edition 1060. whatever it is they're calling it these days
0:22
but i have to confess that i was pretty taken aback
0:27
when they showed me this
0:31
this is to be clear
0:34
not a product even though it kind of looks like a product but razer's good at
0:38
that showing up at these trade shows was something that kind of like actually
0:42
from the outside kind of looks like oh yeah like that could kind of work except
0:45
oh wait the technology won't be there for i don't know 10 years so
0:50
yeah good for you so what we're looking at right now is
0:54
called project valerie and you'd be forgiven
0:58
for thinking that it looks an awful lot
1:02
like a razor blade pro you know the one that i reviewed over here and i liked
1:06
some things like the fact that it's slimmer than any other gtx 1080 equipped
1:10
notebook um but didn't like other things like the
1:14
mechanical keyboard you'd be forgiven for thinking gee it looks an awful lot
1:18
like that but with two extra screens glued to the side
1:21
but that's not what it is so it's important to understand that
1:25
while this concept
1:29
does bear a strong resemblance to the blade pro it is in fact not what razer
1:33
wants to know i guess is
1:37
whether there's someone out there anyone
1:40
out there are you out there leave a comment who wants to roll up at the timmy hose
1:46
or if you're american i guess uh duncan duncan donuts would be the
1:50
equivalent roll up at the timmy hose and effectively have your slash r slash
1:55
battle stations rig on the table in front of you
2:00
now my response to that would be
2:03
g razer it's got competition at least in
2:06
its current form from a lot of places the spud pop-up display those usb
2:11
external displays by the time something like this were to make it to market even
2:15
lightweight vr headsets that are very high resolution so you could use a
2:19
virtual desktop or my personal favorite for something that could be done in a
2:22
reasonable time frame like a Thunderbolt add-on for the existing blade that would
2:26
clip on and just have one cable to power a couple external displays you just kind
2:29
of fold it up put in your bag separately that way you don't have to carry it around all the time
2:34
but i think these are the kinds of conversations that they're trying to
2:37
inspire with this product not necessarily bring
2:41
a three by 4k
2:44
exo surround gaming machine to market
2:47
though they were quick to point out that they have a prototype that works a
2:51
little more than this one it only slides like it's got a bit of a different
2:54
mechanism that was running battlefield one at
2:58
i would say thanks to g-sync somewhat acceptable frame rates
3:02
so i think what it comes down to is this i have my skepticism i've presented four
3:06
options at least two to three of which i think might make more sense than this
3:10
one at least in its current form but i want to hear from you guys in the comments
3:14
is razer on the right track for who who
3:18
are you and why do you think they're on the right track are you creative professional are you a gamer
3:22
or are they completely off their gourd and
3:26
this will never fly let me know down below
3:30
thanks for checking out this video guys don't miss any of our ces 2017 coverage
3:35
brought to you by the d brand i don't have my razer blade on
3:40
me which is sort of embarrassing for two reasons i'm in the razor suite and uh it
3:44
has a dbrand skin on it and i'm talking about dbrand but but dbrand makes
3:48
precision fitted vinyl skins for your devices that make them look sick af and
3:53
protects them from incidental scratches and scrapes you can check them out at
