all right the first meeting of the day razor is on the horizon look who we found a friend of Frank P say hello to the audience what's going on guys we got Eber here and giving us the smiles and the very front I'm just gonna give you the handshake mysterious Mike so we are here at Razer just walked in and look who we found oh it's our boy Austin hey guys this is Austin oh you did that for us awesome thank you nice to see you got a beautiful lighting set up kind of like what we do all right I'm gonna I'm gonna just stop so you can do your thing now so every year Razer has some really cool things to show and this time is no different we've got the project Linda hopefully this one doesn't get stolen and this show coverage is brought to you by fan tech schoolmaster and Corsair so it's a thin and light gaming and productivity notebook that actually integrates razors amazing new android smartphone in a very unique way while companies like Samsung and LG have tried smartphone / notebook hybrids before this feels like one of the first times someone has got it right and like with many of razors other projects this one is simply a proof of concept but I wouldn't be surprised to see it in production very soon it really does feel almost complete basically what the razor has done this create that clean 13.3 inch notebook that acts as a dock for their newest smartphone the chassis is built from unibody cnc aluminum and is really thin to adjust 15 millimeters and it weighs under 3 pounds when the phone is docked the screen is pretty impressive too since it has a quad HD non-touchscreen 120 hertz refresh rate so 120 hertz refresh it is really nice to see there's also 200 gigabytes of internal storage built in 3.5 millimeter audio jack USB a port and a USB C charging port the speakers on this entire contraption actually from the razor phone and you can also switch between what selfie camera use but the most interesting part about this notebook is what happens when the razor phone is added since without it the dock is basically just a paperweight so the smartphone sits where the trackpad normally would and it's locked with this extremely satisfying mounting mechanism that could potentially also be a common point of failure so it can either act as a touchpad or a second screen if you choose to either plug-in the mouse or use the main screen for interaction its Snapdragon 835 and eight years of RAM ensures basically awesome performance regardless of whether your gaming or using regular productivity apps right now the Linda concept features a 53.6 what our internal battery which can actually charge the docked phone to full capacity over three times while away from the AC power and we weren't able to test the full battery performance of course but I would not be surprised to see a notebook like this get over eight hours of on-screen time and while calling this a gaming notebook is a bit of a stretch it's important to remember that Android gaming ecosystem is expanding at a rapid pace and not only that but the mobile processors like the 835 are now capable of delivering some amazing visuals at reasonable frame rates - honestly guys I think project Linda is super cool and also very practical for on-the-go mobile users who want a bit more from their expensive smartphones unfortunately it cannot run Windows applications but Razer has shown that creating a well-integrated smartphone / notebook Hybrid can be done without a feeling incomplete provided the combined cost of the phone and dock don't exceed the price of like an apple or a windows-based thinner like platform I can see it being pretty successful and so we actually used it for a while and really does feel like it's ready for production right now the full-size keyboard was spacious the keys felt good and using the smartphone as a second screen and that I'm being pretty helpful to many applications I still cannot find many android games that I'd want to play on a regular basis but I've actually used project Lynda as an adaptive script writing machine that saves on some weight and long trips and that 200 gigabytes of internal storage would also come in handy when on vacation and photos need to be backed up okay guys so the project Linda is quite the unique as is Austin Evans behind the screen but project Linda from Razer certainly a unique thing no pricing availability but as soon as this comes out I think this be very popular approach towards having a smartphone and a larger enclosure to expand your experience with this beautiful set of speakers and I'm wondering there is no webcam actually there is a webcam here damn it but it'd be cool if they could implement something so that you could see something from this one too but yeah subscribe for more content thank you so much pasta or your appearance and we'll see you and more his courage
