so I got one of the new Razer laptops here they revamped the gaming lineup as well and I saw one particular model that was of interest to me which was in this new finish they're calling it mercury not the typical black matte black type of finish that you've seen on Razer gaming laptops in the past so I was like you know what I haven't checked out one of these in a while so maybe I should start with this this new color especially since these studio laptops that they're putting out very shortly are gonna have a similar color to this one I'm like alright let's see what that feels like and looks like in a razer package and of course the specs have been upgraded big time here as well we've got an i7 9750 H processor there's a 240 Hertz display now this unit is available with a couple different display options you got the 240 Hertz 1080p for the gaming centric audience there's also a 4k display available on the 15-inch this one has 512 gigs of SSD storage and the r-tx 27 d processor inside these guys have made a name for themselves and they're branching out Will's been in touch with Razer as soon as we're done with this one and those ones are available I'll showcase that one also because you have the graphics card the high power graphics cards you're gonna need some juice for it so you have this braided cable and this proprietary connector which I have to say is a little bit better than your typical barrel style connector in my opinion it's a 2 30 watt unit so actually fairly compact when you consider the amount of horsepower in that guy right there got the Razer green on the bottom of the box what a package they've put together here whoo all right so it's got a metallic look to it it's like a it's like a bright silver in fact Willy dudes gonna give us a quick Space Gray comparison this is lighter for sure than Space Gray there we go that's Space Gray versus razor mercury a lot of input output over here a couple of traditional USB ports headphone jack this is the proprietary power connector one more traditional USB type-c probably in the form of a thunderbolt then you have DisplayPort and HDMI and it looks like Kensington lock is also there like this I like that look a light keyboard as well some people gonna love it some people maybe not so much if you were to see this from a distance you don't really feel like that's any kind of special gaming laptop at all it is an option you do not need to pick up this particular color one of the other things I should mention with the lighter color it's no fingerprint potential at all that's what fingerprints look like on this surface I like that that's appealing to me now as I mentioned this one has the crazy 240 Hertz refresh rate on the display Full HD 1920 by 1080 15.6 so that's gonna be appealing to gamers specifically a couple of speakers front-facing which I like the display also matte finish big fan of that as well so this this laptop has a lot going for it right now so we get the backlight on the key caps and right away it's this kind of cool blue color it's cycling through the RGB as it would it's a razer product still this is the first look at the display I'm pretty happy with it you've always got one of these very colorful razor backdrops there's two ways to look at the 15 inch display option you can go to 4k get the extra pixels maybe you're into some sort of design work or video editing or you just like a lot of pixels but the downside there is you're driving all those pixels even when you don't really need them we're having the lower resolution actually might give you a slightly better battery life and of course a different cost I'm kind of split on this as far as which one I would go for this one looks plenty good for me if that one end of the spectrum you have like the Acer predator remember that thing that's one end of the spectrum it's really one functionality person and everything else and then on the other end of the spectrum you have something like this this also has the Windows hello the infrared camera so it has face on lock which is nice Doria I'm actually gonna do some gaming - how long will it take me to download like overwatch or something well ready all right so I have a game loaded I have a gaming mouse hooked up hello see that's how you that's how you famous severally I've got over watching sold and I have it at 240 Hertz it's like it's crazy smooth obviously the game is playing a 1080p right now and I'm gonna go get killed for you now a couple dudes dead couple dudes dead there it might seem like I know what I'm doing I promise you're not I just know big gun lots of bullets that's all I know whoa what'd I get hit with there I mean I got somebody I don't know so we lose we lost okay that's a fun experience like could I get into gaming is that possible maybe you can do the thing with the whole rig and the lights and it you could swap graphics cards and you could build a gaming PC obviously I've done that in the past when I was younger have more time I'm starting to come around to the idea of the gaming laptop because it's like you make the case to own it as your computer and then it's like and it can game and experience you can have on this 15 inch blade with the 20 was it 2 2070 that's in here well yeah RTX 2070 it's like man that says what that's all you need guys do you need more than that will maybe you would prefer to have a mechanical keyboard or something I guess you could you could add that the 240 Hertz display 1080p is plenty and it's kind of nice matte finish and then you kick out of this you exit the desktop like that you unplug this guy and look at you I mean you what do you do you go to the meeting now look at you Jeff you go to the meeting they don't know what you've been doing they don't know what you've really been up to gold medals and whatever it was I was up to they donate they don't know and here's the face unlock boom you didn't see that did you catch that the speaker sounded good in game but what about like music what about YouTube I know our audio is pretty good on the loo later channel so obviously you've been left out of the smartphone conversation a little bit lately there's been so much going on I'd say they're pretty good the MacBook is a bit better given the entry point of their products the price point way more base for their products like the like what it costs to potentially some some sort of shots at companies like relative to the rest of the technology marketplace when they're side-by-side you notice it for sure that the audio is much louder on the MacBook Pro but there are a lot of laptops with terrible sound this is not one of them should I play a tune it's good enough a lot of people gonna be using headphones so let's just let's just keep that in mind what can I say about this laptop I like it I guess you can probably tell I like it it's a powerful computer let's say it's a powerful laptop without your typical powerful form factor what's the weight of this will I'm gonna say it's like five pounds 4.8 man I see Jack come on man hey I wasn't born yesterday in this game this might be my favorite razor laptop ever Willie do just informs me uh this guy starts around 1500 goes to three grand thirty three hundred bucks okay not cheap nope not cheap by any stretch of the imagination let's get wills opinion we'll come on in you're a guy you're known to have tried video games before I'm a fan of overwatch yeah they're doing some pretty cool stuff it's a fun game man yeah it's a teamwork than a situation like you could dominate on your own dude really yeah but ultimately the goal is a team victory it is yeah yeah yeah what do you think about this guy right here I've always liked Razer products the look that the laptop game their designs are really really sleek it's a slab yeah it's kind of like a Microsoft Surface laptop there you go anything over like a hundred Hertz is amazing for games bananas I guarantee you like it can really help with your game like you're aiming it's just some more percent more tight it's just so much more into it yeah see you get the feel yeah yeah Willie do the ladies each other for a fan of it I'm a fan the little pricier it's okay it starts at 1500 which is not bad yogi yeah it is yeah it's fine he loves raiseth areas that's him a man in the world playing games Willie this episode is brought to you by IBM for all you programmers out there or anyone starting to program IBM developed a few lessons to help you get started on this a drunk now it's called IBM developer and allows you to quickly and easily program your drone to do stuff like this like this now with little or no programming experience I managed to build out this little UI with simple controls so you can see here I have the acceleration both XY and Z you got the speed and you also got the battery life here and you got simple controls or left/right you can actually do a back flip or front flip you can also connect the drone to IBM Watson and he uses visual recognition to identify objects that the drone sees so all in all this was pretty interesting IBM's given out a couple of drones check out their website on the link below and you can get more information about their giveaway
