fit wits coverage of CES 2018 is brought to you by fantex and cable mock click the links in the description below for more info alright so obviously I had to stop by the razer booth at CES this year just to see what kind of crazy concept project they had this time and of course they did not disappoint with their new project Linda this is pretty interesting and I'm really curious to hear you guys as thoughts on this one so be sure to blow up that comment section when you get a chance basically what we're doing here is we're integrating their razor phone with a custom laptop dock and it's essentially supposed to bring your mobile experience into the form of a laptop I mean basically the laptop itself is more of a dummy computer it doesn't really have much in it other than a battery it's using the phone's processing power for pretty much anything which means the laptop does not work without the phone but that also means that it doesn't need any ventilation or fan so it remains completely silent doesn't even need speakers because it just uses the razor phone speakers which as we all know from all the reviews are really freaking good so that's kind of cool it's very light very silent and it does contain a battery however the laptop docks so you could charge your phone while it's docked that's kind of cool I don't know exactly what the milliamp hours are they weren't really clear on that or they haven't really decided or settled on a battery solution but it's likely that the battery will be user serviceable which is a huge plus there's also a built-in antenna booster just to keep the service disruption to a minimum and improve signal overall after all you are putting a phone inside of a giant hunk of metal the laptop dock essentially uses the same chassis as the razor blade stealth although it's a little bit thicker on this portion here just to keep flush with the phone the dock itself is using USB 3 I'm time husb through a USB type-c which is of course the same port as the phone itself you get a full sized RGB keyboard with nice chiclet style keys and they've actually replaced the F bar at the top with with a bunch of Android functions that users of the platform will likely find handy as well that's pretty cool now as you might safely assume the phone can be used as a trackpad to help navigate around the Android UI it can also be used as a secondary screen this is sort of the direction the vision that they have with this product is that you can be gaming on your main display but have like your menu or your item menu your items menu on the phone or let's say you're working with Photoshop and you have all your tools on that 5.7 inch display so that's actually pretty cool I like that idea a lot I just hope that you know while you're typing and stuff you don't accidentally press any of those things on the phone hopefully there's like sort of a quick you know disable the touch screen on your phone type of thing so that sort of thing doesn't happen the display itself is thirteen point three inches it's got a quad HD touchscreen and it is 120 Hertz to match the phone so you get a seamless experience regardless of which one you're looking at so that's actually really nice overall I'm pretty excited to see this come to the market and I think it's I think the big challenge here is what happens when users want to upgrade their phone to something that's not from Razer or maybe you know the second-generation Razer phone won't be exactly the same in size and dimensions and shape and stuff like that so I'm seeing some issues here just at the beginning but I think the concept the idea is pretty cool you guys let me know what you think in the comments below as always toss me a like on the video if you enjoyed it and be sure to get subscribed if you haven't already so you don't miss any more of my coverage here at CES 2018 thanks again guys I'll see you all in the next video
