So here I am at CES and once again Razer has an utterly
crazy
Prototype Project Linda thing that they're showing off that actually
Really isn't that far out there. So in front of me I have what appears at first glance to be three
Razor Blade Stealths but one of these things is not like the other.
Or, in sort of different terms, two of them are not like the other.
This is a regular Razer Blade Stealth it has an Intel Core something-or-other processor it has a screen
It has a battery it has a GPU of some sorts of RAM some storage
These ones are totally different, so we'd actually seen
concepts like this before where you take
Whoa, did you just press that button? Were you take your phone and
You just put it into kind of a dumb shell and take that CPU, that RAM, that storage, that battery, that Android
Experience, and make it larger than life. And Razer is showing off
actually a more finished version of this than I probably would have expected. So they moved the keyboard up
so there's no power button here anymore, the power button is now on the side of the phone so your fingerprint
is gonna work just fine as long as you use the right fingerprint cause normally you would set the Razer Phone with your thumb.
Because it's kind of on the side anyway
don't worry too much about those details, then you've got a 1080p screen up here
Which may or may not ever be a real product at all so will it be 1080p
I don't know, but in the future. They do say it will be touchscreen, so
How are you able to clarify that it will have some specs
but you can't say that it'll have others because it might not ever be a product
You know what it's not the point the point is you got a big screen up here
that would be touchscreen, you've got a small screen down here that you can use as a second screen
Slash use as a gigantic trackpad the speakers are actually built into the phone
And then they're gonna have some other functionality built into this guy as well, so it's gonna have an extended battery
So you're not gonna have to worry about the (still) impressive four thousand milliamp hour battery
But maybe not good enough to power this screen for a long time battery
You're gonna be able to get hopefully a fair bit of use out of it
It's got a full-sized Razer Grade Keyboard, so that means nice clicky keys in the case of the razor blade stealth as well as full RGB lighting
It's got an illuminated Razer logo on the back, and they're working out a way to use
USB on-the-go for expanded storage, though it's not clear whether that would be through a microSD slot or whether that would be through storage
that's actually built into the chassis itself. In terms of I/O, right now, the
Project Linda version of it has a headphone jack. So Razer DOES know we still need those, how about that?
It's got a type-C input that can also be used for charging and power
And then it's got a Type-A over on the other side. So the idea here is that
whether it's for larger screen gaming or whether it's for some, you know, Lightroom
I mean phone processors are getting so powerful that you can legitimately -oh
right, sorry, this one's tethered down. They didn't want me lifting that one. I'm sorry
So you can legitimately do productivity type work on your phone processor
the idea is now you've just got a bigger screen in order to be able to have a better experience.
So they're not talking about pricing, if I had to guess, I'd say based on just you know the aluminum construction
The sort of quality the components and all that, I don't think it's gonna be cheap
So let me know what you would think. Would you consider buying, like, a shell accessory like this that is for one specific
model of phone? Although we don't know what razor's plan for the future of the Razer Phone is. Maybe they're gonna keep this form factor
for a bit, I don't know
But would you consider an accessory like this to have a more laptop-like mobile
experience with your phone device? And if so,
please leave a comment letting me know how much you would consider paying for something like that.
But wait don't go away, hold on. Hold on. There's one other thing that I wanted to show you guys here today.
Ah eh eh hm
Check this out, so this is cool. I actually asked razer
They had no idea if this was gonna work or not, but hey USB is USB right and this thing for a "project"
type
product- not product, project
It's in a fairly functional state, actually. Check this out, this right here is the Razer Mamba
hyper-flux. It is a
wireless mouse that requires no battery and no wire whatsoever because it is using inductive charging. Now, you might say
"Well hold on a minute Linus
Logitech has had that for months", and you would be right, but that's slightly different because Razer's solution doesn't have a battery
So, when you take it off the pad you have to plug in the cable
Or it just doesn't work at all, and you might go- "but Linus, that sounds terrible!"
Well, hold on. Maybe it's not terrible. Maybe it's just a different use case because unlike Logitech's solution, the Mamba Hyper Flux is
extremely light. So what it has in it is a
capacitor that charges up over a span of about
30 seconds - because I mean it's got to use all the rest of the power, so for all the you know
Chroma RGB lighting and everything on it
And then that gives you about five to ten seconds of you know liftoff time
We're like oh I accidentally went off my mouse pad, but I wanted to make sure that it's working right away, and there it is
completely wireless mouse and
All yours for the value price of just - $249.99 U.S

LinusCES, thank you Colton, we're gonna have that linked in the video description.
So, thanks for watching guys. You can dislike, you can like, it won't hurt my feelings either way
Ahm.. I'm just gonna assume that if you disliked
it was something to do with Razer, not to do with me. While you're down there
you can check out where to see the rest of our CES videos! Sure, let's link the playlist down there or something like that
Yeah. Because you can't buy any of this stuff, that's the problem with CES. I can't use my standard outro. Kills me.
