so it's been a minute since I've looked
at a razor laptop the last one I
featured was a bit of a departure from
their typical styling when I siding that
color I was like you know creative
people who want to stray away from say
MacBooks and devices like that might
start to look at this thing because it
just had a more kind of creative
professional look to it that device had
a crazy display on it 240 hertz refresh
rate which a creative professional would
have absolutely no use for now I've got
this other laptop in front of me and I'm
hoping what I'm about to look at is
actually the other version of the the
15-inch
advanced blade but instead this time
with an OLED display you're not gonna
get any crazy refresh rates but you're
gonna get OLED and you're gonna get 4k
now we're talking about a totally
different market that's what's exciting
about this one I don't think I've ever
looked at a laptop on this show with an
OLED display or if I did it wasn't this
big a little cleaning cloth some razor
stickers are in there as well
a giant powerful power brick with a
braided cable and this is the
proprietary connector which delivers the
power you need a bunch of power
obviously I nine and r-tx twenty-eight
graphics you gotta feed it some juice
crack this baby open so we are back to
the classic razor styling on this one no
fancy limited special color instead it's
the matte black you still have the logo
which represents the culture to a
certain degree but the matte black
finish it's nice it's simple power input
couple of typical USB ports there is a
headphone jack also included on the
other side of the device you have I'm
guessing that's Thunderbolt 3 in a form
of USB type-c connector there's another
USB a a full size HDMI port that looks
like a DisplayPort and there's a little
locking area there as well so let's
crack this open real quick boom and you
know what I know right away that it is
the OLED panel because it's glossy so if
it's all about the visual experience you
might want to put up with some
reflections and go for this display
option as well just keep in mind 60
Hertz 4k resolution the layout here you
have the keyboard giant track
otice hair this is what people are
looking for by today's standards the
build quality here it feels great the
whole thing is very sturdy the screen
this always gets me he doesn't actually
go back very far and maybe I'm just
spoiled with all these ThinkPads I've
been using but it stops right around
here now I get it at this type of setup
that's probably as far back as you're
ever gonna need it it's a tiny little
nitpick the keyboard chiclet style a
little bit of travel to the keys now I
talked about this on the previous video
that I did on a razor laptop they've
improved this keyboard this could be
fine for me
I could I could type it up what would it
be as satisfying for me as a think pad
keyboard probably not oh my god look at
this hole my god that is vibrant I don't
know if I'm gonna be able to go back
after this whoo they claim there's some
technologies that play some little some
little tricks in the background that
makes sure that burning does not occur
something called pixel shifting things
move ever so slightly you can barely see
it and and therefore protecting your
pixels protecting you from burning but
my goodness if you know about the
benefits of OLED on a smartphone and on
a TV just imagine that being brought to
your laptop
I can't imagine wanting to sitting in
front of a better display than that that
is that's a beautiful thing you're also
probably noticing at this point that the
keyboard is backlit it's RGB you see it
cycling through the colors it's kind of
the razer default you see this is the
3840 by 2160 native resolution is that a
200% scale on it the thing is with LCD
panels right the lighting is never
really turned off so your blacks end up
this gray thing and then you end up with
these the various dimming technologies
that attempt to to change that I have an
LCD left over in my house it drives me
crazy when it's got the local dimming I
can pick it up with my eyes and it's
just compared to an old LED panel it's
night and day why not in unbox therapy
video that's a little bit darkest a
little bit light and most importantly we
publish to YouTube in 4k so we can
actually watch it in the native res here
this is what you are working with one
thing that you're going to notice is the
black levels my shirt is like pitch
black relative to the rest of the frame
the black shirt is very black and that's
what I'm looking for at all
so yep I mean just the quality of it's
uh it's a beautiful display Jack just
interrupted the entire video right now
he wants he wants you all to know that
you have to go out and buy a $3,000
computer to properly watch
um bucks therapy videos cuz he wants it
to look like this I mean it looks great
it looks cinematic the detail in my hand
tones over here is like I don't know if
you can pick that up but it's like
typically a lot of this stuff ends up
blown out on some displays see the
shadows and stuff in my hands i mean i
what am i doing i don't have to sell you
all at at this point everyone knows the
industry is going that way in some way
or another there are drawbacks i told
you about it earlier it's just a 60
hertz panel if you're heavy on the
gaming side you're probably gonna avoid
this probably not gonna run games in
this resolution anyways so you already
know you're gonna pick the 240 Hertz
option but I think this particular model
is interesting because it reaches out to
the other segment of the audience that I
mentioned earlier people who are looking
for you know a well-designed solid well
presented package from a workstation
perspective on the windows side there's
not actually that many options that are
able to deliver this kind of power these
type of specs and so forth to compete
with the MacBook Pro the last thing you
want when you're setting it up is to be
fearful of potentially interacting with
it wrong and catastrophe so I think I
think that the speakers are a bit of a
letdown relative to the monitor you're
looking at the monitor you're like whoa
and then the speakers are like that's
those are laptop speakers it's not
fooling you by any means particularly
for this dialogue in this video here
unfolding I mean they work but that's
max volume right there it's just not
that impressive for dialogue I mean
you're gonna watch video on here you're
gonna play games on here maybe you're
gonna use the speakers from time to time
it's gonna be a headset laptop security
kind of punch out of it it seems that
way at the moment okay so here's the way
it breaks down with this particular
laptop it starts out as a standard razor
blade 15 i seven eighth generation and a
full HD display at 60 Hertz that's sort
of your entry point you get you start at
the lowest price point this one here
obviously cooking a little hotter than
that from a spec perspective so when you
go through the configuration I'll give
you a sense of how to how the price goes
up as you
things around so first being a graphics
card you can see you're starting around
$1,600 u.s. you scale up to the r-tx
2080 let's say now you're at 2,800 bucks
of course
full-hd 144 it's gonna be perfect for a
lot of people particularly gamers that's
fine you could stay in a department even
if you wanted to top graphics 240 Hertz
takes it to another level if you're so
if you're so inclined but then the one I
have here is the OLED 4k touch that's
right it's a touchscreen as well I think
I told you that earlier but I didn't
show it off so that's the one we're
gonna select and you can see now to
practice again we're at 3,300 us it's
not a cheap laptop it's important to
note that for these perks you're gonna
pay for it but I have to say you take a
look at this thing and you realize it's
a different experience straight away
that could be your future laptop display
just like the beauty of OLED phones and
OLED TVs that Tech has finally made its
way into mainstream laptops ODIs in the
