hey I'm Scott Stein what exactly is going on in the world of PC gaming right now well you've got new Intel processors on the horizon and you've got companies that are trying to redefine Windows 8 in the middle of that you got Razer who has made some pretty aggressive products now they've just announced a brand-new laptop another razor blade this is a classic gaming laptop but it's very thin and we've got one right here and you can see right here it is thin it's really thin and in fact at his dimensions that resemble the Retina Display MacBook Pro in terms of how compact and solid feeling it is it's all aluminum and it's matte black and it's kind of like a dream maybe macbook pro dedicated to gaming and what you've got inside our specs that to fit a higher-end type of laptop a quad core Core i7 processor that's fourth generation we can't even get into the specifics of that until an embargo that's coming soon and we've got graphics in here NVIDIA GTX 765 M GeForce graphics with 2 gigabytes of gddr5 memory inside so which is pretty nice 8 gigabytes of RAM and a solid-state hard drive in here not standard mechanical hard drive starting 128 gigabytes you can go up to 256 or 512 they notice some things here the price is $17.99 so that's high but if you're comparing it to stuff like the $2,000 Retina Display MacBook Pro or do high-end gaming laptops it's not as high 4.1 pounds so it's not super light but it is something that fits pretty easily into a backpack and it has a 14 inch 1600 by 900 display as you can see here the display is matte but it is not touch a lot of gaming laptops seem to be going in this direction avoiding touch because gamers may not necessarily want it it does have a standard trackpad beneath with its own dedicated click buttons and a full backlit keyboard here it's got synapse 2.0 for those who connect to razors programmable ecosystem but there are no extra macro buttons and nothing like a touchscreen over here there are dual stereo speakers on the side that are Dolby equip they're nice and loud serve surprising when you first hear them and a little power button right up there what's it missing well it doesn't have an optical drive it doesn't have an Ethernet jack it has three USB 3.0 ports and it has HDMI kind of bare-bones but if you're looking at it as a gaming device on the go maybe that's the style I would have preferred an Ethernet jack I'm sure a lot of people would and there's no dongle in the box so you'll have to find a solution there is this going to be a success we'll have to see I mean Razer had some pretty experimental designs before but the nice thing throughout all of those products has been a really nice attention to detail and design this is probably the most accessible product that razors made in terms of computer hardware so where does that put the razor blade it is a very nice design will you miss the touchscreen who knows stay tuned for a full review coming up soon I'm Scott Stein with the new 14-inch razor blade from razor
