hey there guys we're on pretty here from TechnoBuffalo and if you guys saw my last video comparing the s7 edge and iPhone 6 as cameras you saw I tease in the beginning the razor blades stealth and I said we were going to be reviewing it so that's what I'm here with today this last weekend I went up to Lake Arrowhead with three devices one of which was the razor blade stealth sadly razor has not started chipping their core which was released alongside the blade stealth at CES it's basically an external GPU that connects via thunderbolt that will turn your Ultrabook into a beast of a gaming and editing machine pricing was announced on the core earlier this week and it's going to come in at $4.99 standalone and 399 if you buy it alongside the blade stealth as soon as we get our hands on one we will have a follow-up video featuring that for you guys first thing I want to address is the build the Razer Blade stealth is made of cnc aluminum which means it's extremely solid and very very durable it comes in at about 2.7 5 pounds so it's not the lightest laptop and it feels kind of heavy but it has a very nice weight to it I'm a huge fan of the build and the build really changes your experience using this laptop bear with me and I will explain moving on to the screen we have a 12.5 inch either q HD or 4k display now we tested out the Q HD version which was more than good enough what makes this display interesting however and relates it back to the build quality is that it is a touchscreen now touch screens seem like a great idea especially with Windows 10 being supposedly designed for half tablet half desktop use however one of the big problems I've run into using lenovo laptops or even the surface book is that the hinge just bounces around when you touch it as john put it it's a flaccid hinge however the razor because it's built so well does not have a flaccid hinge and so the touchscreen is very usable I found myself lying in bed pinching zooming scrolling doing all the things I would normally do on a tablet or a smartphone and then using the full size keyboard using it as a regular laptop as well one of my gripes with the display is just those bezels I mean look for yourself it's hard to avoid them continuing with hardware we have Razer signature chroma keyboard with sixteen point eight million colors per key now honestly this is not really a feature or something that I use it's more just an aesthetic thing that kind of sets them apart from other PC manufacturers but well I don't care I do know that a lot of razer fans will care and yes I'm talking to you Andrew typing on the keyboard is an absolute pleasure there is a little less travel than there would be on a traditional keyboard because the laptop is obviously so thin that being said it's something that used to very quickly it's a very good experience my only gripe is that the trackpad and the keyboard are kind of crammed and so I found myself often typing in my hand would sort of bump into the trackpad and mess up everything going on screen speaking of the trackpad it's fantastic very good size feels great I just wish would have been clickable all across rather than just at the bottom in terms of processing power looking an Intel Core i7 dual-core processor with hyper-threading which clocks in at 2.5 gigahertz or can turbo boost up to 3.1 Giga heard it's more than fast enough for everything that I wanted to do I think the very good processor given how small and light this laptop is especially when you compared to something like the Mac but which only has an Intel Core M as per the GPU were rocking intel HD graphics 520 I'm not even going to comment on this since it gets the job done for everybody's regular needs but for those who want something more intense you're going to have the razor core which we don't have to review yet so hang tight for that in terms of memory we have 8 gigs of ddr3 dual channel onboard memory i/o we have Thunderbolt 3 which is now the same port as USB see it also charges via USB see so for those of you who care and want to charge off a battery pack or something it'll charge slowly but that is an option we also have two USB 3 ports and an HDMI output for those who have tested the 4k display version we've heard the battery life has not been great even saying that it comes in only three hours which is nor near what the competition can offer that being said with Q HD version we got much much closer to the projected eight hours coming in at about 6 to 7 hours on solid usage couple noteworthy things that don't really fit into any category for this laptop our number one fingerprints this matte black type finish looks great but it attracts fingerprints like crazy because of the material you really have to take a cloth and really clean it for a while before you get those fingerprints out more of my personal gripe was the logo now I don't have a problem with raisers actual logo but the way it looks on this laptop when it's not backlit it looks like a sticker and it just looks cheap for some reason whereas the rest of the laptop looks super super premium high quality a huge plus for me the very small design but I love the grips underneath now normally on laptops we see four-foot grips but here we saw two long rubber bars and it does such a good job of keeping the laptop in place when you have it on a desk so those are really my overall thoughts on the blade stealth it's hard to give some finalized opinions because we haven't used the Quarrier and that's going to be a huge part of how powerful this Ultrabook can become that's the most interesting aspect to me that it's this transformer of a device that can go from being as ultra portable laptop and then become a pretty much desktop replacement with a dedicated GPU and fulfill all your gaming video editing and GPU intensive needs as a straight-up ultrabook I can say that I would definitely recommend this to someone who is on Windows it's effectively a MacBook Air competitor and I think it checks all the boxes that one would look for in this price range beginning at $1000 then going up from there but let me know what you guys think are you guys looking forward to this does this really blow your mind in any way shape or form are you waiting for the core like me leave us a comment below I'm very curious to hear your guys thoughts give us a thumbs up if you liked this video hit subscribe for more coverage and content we have that Chevy Volt review coming as well and I can't wait to share with you guys thanks for watching
