what's up guys it's Lou from unbox therapy and today we're taking a look at a really interesting device for those of you that follow me on Instagram Twitter or Facebook you've already seen these boxes you probably know what's in here so that's all kinds of incentive for those of you that don't follow me in those places I will link them down in the description so you can conveniently do that but anyways this of course is the Razer edge which is a full-fledged gaming tablet this is the pro version you've got a dedicated graphics card or what they call a discreet graphics card inside you're going to be able to play legitimate games on something very slim and light in terms of what it's able to do obviously it's not gonna be a slim and light as something like an iPad or an Android tablet but that's because this is a little bit different in form and in function now you can you know load up steam and play legitimate games on here I mean you could play all kinds of different games considering that the res is not huge on here it means that you're gonna be able to play back games in fairly reasonable frame rates using just this tablet and potentially the game controller if you're interested now there are a number of items that I showed you at the beginning here three different boxes in fact and in order to keep things kind of clean we're gonna be featuring just the gaming tablet in this particular episode in this particular unboxing followed by the accessories and a test and a sort of review if you will yes I know I don't usually do reviews but in this case I'm going to because this is such a different device and you know not that many people are gonna have their chance to get their hands on it so I'm gonna give you guys some feedback as well which I know you've been asking me to do so hit that thumbs up button down below if you do want to see my thoughts and more of a review style video on this device so let's take a closer look at the bottom of the unit that's where you're gonna see two down firing speakers which are surprisingly loud for a tablet you'll also find the proprietary connector here that's going to be used for charging the device as well as interfacing with your multimedia dock which I do have here and I will be showing you more information on in the future on the front of the devices where you'll find your Windows key that's for accessing all those wonderful Windows 8 features and then on the front along top is where you'll see your forward-facing HD camera and array microphones there's also an ambient light sensor hidden on the bezel now on the top is where the remainder of the buttons are you have your power button followed by a couple of interesting buttons one is a dedicated keyboard button as well as an orientation lock and then you have your volume rocker over here followed by your 3.5 mill headphone out / microphone in and then a USB 3 port so a lot to look at on the top towards the back is where you'll see the exhaust vents that's because this device does create a little bit more heat than your average tablet but that's kind of to be expected after all in this case you're going to be playing graphics intense games unlike you really do on consumer-level tablets this thing is really a different piece of gear it's kind of hard to compare it to an iPad or even an Android tablet or really anything it's incredibly unique you're gonna get a little bit of paperwork from Razer as well so a QuickStart guide to get you up and running warranty information you're gonna get a cleaning cloth so you can at least keep the screen clean momentarily this is a touchscreen device though so that's probably not gonna last long that's just the nature of the business you've also got a couple of stickers from Razer so you can rep the brand and taking one last glance at the manual you can see it's sort of dedicated to getting you started with Windows 8 not too much info in there you'll have to go to the website for that there is a power adapter included of course to charge the device you have an extension cable here so you'd be a fair distance from the wall while using it one thing to mention at this point the battery is not that great on this device you're getting a lot of power in a slim package so that's to be expected but you can improve the battery life using the gamepad controller that I'll be giving you more info on that shortly at this point it's also a good thing to mention or a good time to mention sorry that you can check out pricing and availability on this as well as the other components down in the description of this video I will warn you this is not cheap so if you're a little bit squeamish about high price tags I would say avoid that link but otherwise go ahead and check it out you know anytime you're dealing with super unique devices in what they're offering and the package they're offering it in you expect to pay a higher price this is really a toy it's a high end toy for people with a big budget that's just everybody should expect that I mean everybody pretty much knows it and Razer has been known for making high-end toys in the past and this one is absolutely no different now if you do add the extra accessories I suppose it becomes a little bit more functional I'm thinking specifically about the multimedia dock which will also be featured in the next video it because in that sense it can sort of turn into an HTP sea you can dock it to your television and it can be a console as well as a video player you could stream HD content from it YouTube I mean you could do a lot of things with it you can also hook up a keyboard mouse and just use it like a regular computer that's totally up to you so from that sense it is a little bit diverse and you can sort of understand the higher price tag but I'll go into more detail about that when I do my actual recap video this is just the unboxing as you guys know I don't like to split up the videos I have made long videos in the past but in this case I thought because there are a lot of consumers that will probably buy the tablet on its own without the gamepad or the multimedia dock it would be you know it would make sense to split them up in this particular case so anyways this is your quick setup I'm not gonna make you guys sit through that as I said before tons more coming up including the official gamepad as well as the dock in the next video don't miss it thumbs up down below and I'll catch you guys real soon later
