Razer explains how an ultrabook can also be a gaming PC — CES 2016

2016-01-07
hey everyone welcome to the verge here at CES 2016 and vlad savov and with me is kevin savor from razor thanks for joining us Kevin and we have to really quite exciting products right yeah we got the razor blade stealth a new ultrabook yes it's kind of a new thing for you guys you don't do otra books yeah we're just running shredding new ground with it you do gaming devices and the razor core yes so tell us about yeah so starting off with the razor blade stealth as you mentioned it's our first ultrabook and what we're calling the ultimate ultrabook so really the concept behind this was taking portability to new extremes so with our 14 inch razor blade we really pushed the boundaries of portability and performance what we wanted to do with the razor blade stealth was pushed those portability boundaries even further into the Ultrabook domain so it's just point 5 2 inches thin in 2.75 pounds of beautiful cnc aluminum chassis very portable system and a lot of performance in there as well right so the big highlight with the laptop itself in terms of specifications is it has 4k display correct yes 12.5 inch 4k display but and this is something that we're all aware of you can't really make an ultrabook that can play the latest games at the highest frame rates and this is why I have this poor correct and how did it to work together yeah so the concept really was to provide an ultrabook for everyday kind of productivity casual gaming on the go but to allow that to really expand for a full desktop gaming experience so when you connect it with the razor core it gives you desktop graphics power also gives you connection all your desktop peripherals like your keyboard and mouse and external displays as well how does it work so use bees how you power the laptop by itself and regular charger and when you connect to the court that powers it yep it powers the notebook as well as handles all the data so thanks to Thunderbolt 3 with speeds up to 40 gigabits per second plenty of throughput for all the data we need and USBC providing that power connection as well simplifies it so when you get back home and connect to your desktop is just one cable between the two devices and what sort of graphics cards can I put in here yes you can put in the latest generation from both AMD and NVIDIA so full-length dual wide pci express cards will fit into the chassis how much of a power supply is inside inside the razor core got a 500 watt power supply 375 watson that is allocated for the graphics card the rest is to power the notebook as well as I mean peripherals connected via USB okay so proces here you can have a skylight pro so with the laptop yeah so all of them ship with the 6th generation skylink cpu and i7 they have 8 gigabytes of dual channel memory and pci express solid-state storage ok so one of my concerns with this sort of a setup it's the dream really is but you will eventually come up with bottlenecks you know you Propst the won't be as far as you remember it won't be as awesome so can you make a promise to us that you keep this thing going and I particularly use bc its exchangeable but keep this we can go with further devices and you know you can buy quote today and then maybe you can buy a plate laptop you know if he is down line and we still work together them still be something that people can build on down the future yeah definitely future proofing was something we considered with this concept so it's great about the razor cause it's super easy to upgrade the desktop card and then since its using Thunderbolt three and USB see very Universal connectivity other notebooks that are willing to support the solution we're more than happy to have them there's nothing proprietary we're doing that would prevent other people from taking advantage of what we've designed with the razor corn well no proprietary but one of your signature things that you do is the chroma which is the RGB lighting yeah so you have another keyboard with the lab to do you have it with the core why do you do this isn't it because I'm a gamer but I'm going to care about lights is it like that much demand for lighting in one of this defender there's a lot of things you can do with chroma just to run down the list roll like one personalization so 16.8 million colors and that's perky on the razor blade stealth it's the world's first individually lit RGB notebook keyboard so you can have immense personalization you can also do really cool effects with it you can create your own you can download ones and others created it also we have an SDK for developers so it's integrated into some of the great games that are out there today call of duty overwatch and a ton of other titles allowing for really immersive experiences with the keyboard like if you're taking damage in the game the keyboard could flash red if you're waiting for a spell to cool down the key could be not lit when it's ready to use the key lights up is a visual indicator and then there's even individual apps that can run on the chroma key board so you can play snake right on the keyboard itself you can play whack-a-mole it has a music visualizer so you can get kind of an EQ affect all of that thanks to chroma and your company logo is free snakes triple headed snake load trip ahead to snake and you can play snake on the keyboard you can play snake on the keyboard well that's pretty cool thank you free time Kevin
