for the past several years razors treat at CES it's kind of a showcase of their latest concepts that may or may not hit the market last year we saw a crazy three screen laptop this year they're back with a new take on an old idea that you can just dock your phone inside of a laptop ish thing and give you a brand new experience aside from what your phone's going to give you meat project Linda and before I get into everything that this is let me just say that razor was super clear that this is definitely a concept and they may or may not make it which is surprising because when I held in use it actually worked really well so first looking at this thing it's essentially a blade stealth a bit of extra thickness on the bottom to account for the dockable razor phone you push a button and a retractable USB Secor just does its business with the razor phone with a very cool noise and then you get a full desktop ish OS so there's a lot about the software blink tell you about the hardware first when you put the really beautiful 2k 5.7 inch screen razor phone inside of that dock it becomes a trackpad in the second screen and because it's a glass display actually feels pretty good and the responsiveness was also really good you can do normal desktop ish stuff to fingers to right-click and scrolling was actually really smooth on it the version we saw was clearly not final like it's a concept but razor's ultimate vision is to give you kind of one-to-one versus the phone versus a big screen that you're looking at so they want it to be 13.3 inches in 2k 120 Hertz so that it'll match what's in the razor phone but I'm going to put 200 gigs of storage inside of Project Linda so that if you use a video editing app for example you can have all your files loaded up there or you wanna watch the movies on an airplane you can put whatever you want into that on the other i/o side also has a 3.5 millimeter headset jack they wanted to point out so if you missing that on your razor phone you're gonna have one option there as well it's also a webcam built in the dual array mic so you can do Skype or video chat you want of course USB C is gonna charge this thing and it's got a fifty three point six kilowatt hour battery pack so they're saying you can treat it almost like a portable battery bank you plug it in and it'll be charged cool design Q that razor did was the power button on the razor phones on the side so when it gets docked that's the power button for Project Linda also means you can use a fingerprint reader as well to keep it a little bit extra secure so on the software side you're getting like a desktop ish OS it's actually kind of razor worked with Sentosa to make this experience but it should be pretty familiar so this is where things get tricky I'm not sure who this would be for certainly the Chromebook set might be interested but you gotta have a razor phone in order to use this so perhaps it's more of a proof of concept for what the razor phone can ultimately do there's the kind of product that usually companies don't develop publicly so I give raise your credit for showing something that may or may not ever make it to market right now if it does ever make it to market how many people are gonna be lining up what I imagine will be an expensive offering has yet to be seen but it is really cool and it's cool to see a concept and a company develop out in the open so we got a ton more CES coverage up of course so be sure to subscribe int that little bell icon to know and the next CES videos are coming at you let you guys think about project Linda down below until next time Jon render and TechnoBuffalo you
