The Razer Phone Transforms Into a Laptop #Helpful Post

hey guys this is Austin it's Tim here at

CES 2018 with razors project Linda so

what might look like an ordinary laptop

this is actually being powered by the

razor phone so essentially the hardware

is kind of similar to something like the

razor blade stealth so you're still

getting a 13-inch display but instead of

having windows and a standard like core

processor inside everything is being run

off of the razor phone now the idea has

been done before what hasn't is

something that well actually isn't

terrible

now to be clear this is still a concept

so it's not necessarily going to be on

sale and there are some changes before

this would hit production but the idea

of being able to take your phone spend

all day using it as a standard phone and

when you're ready dropping it in and

turning into a laptop is really cool so

it all starts with the razor phone now

say what you will about the hardware but

it is beefy and it actually matches the

laptop pretty well so instead of having

a standard trackpad what we do is we

actually just drop the phone in and then

with one button it motorized 'as the

little USB C port and the actual laptop

will turn on so it takes just a second

right now obviously this is a prototype

once it's up and running these phone

screen just turns into a trackpad

they've actually done a lot of

interesting engineering to make this

work so we hit the button to detach the

phone there's just going to be a little

cutout here where we can actually can

grab it what's cool is not only does

this keep the power button exposed we

also still have access to the

fingerprint sensor now what's cool is we

can actually even motorized it without

the phone ends you can see the USB port

which kind of pops in and pops out also

I just really like the noise just sounds

so cool not only does the phone serve as

the trackpad right now but it also is

still going to be using these speakers

now if you guys caught my best

smartphones with 2070 video you know

that the razor phone has these best

speakers of any phone I've ever tried so

using this for a laptop should work just

fine the rest of the hardware should be

very familiar if you tried a recent

razor laptop we have full control over

the RGB lighting so even though the

configurator is a little bit lighter

than what you're gonna get on Windows we

can still do things like getting full

RGB wave because you know I should not

have any say of that it's very colorful

beyond that the rest of the hardware is

fairly straightforward so there is a

actual battery inside they'll be able to

charge the phone while it's docked but

beyond that you've got a USB C port for

charging a headphone jack as well as a

full size USB a and they said they would

like to add an HDMI port at a later date

but for a prototype this is actually

pretty close it feels fairly

straightforward as far as the

the build quality it feels a lot

honestly like a razor blade stealth

which is definitely a good thing this

guy is rocking a 13.3 inch panel with a

1080p resolution at least for now so the

main issue is with the prototype at

least it is not a touchscreen so the

final version it would be nice to at

least have that touchscreen that you

could use alongside the phone but if

they could bump it up to say 120 Hertz

or maybe even 1440p that would be

awesome because this is all Android some

apps will look better than others but

for example YouTube actually is not too

bad I will also say is really nice to

have a proper keyboard so while the

actual touchpad experience is maybe not

quite fully fine-tuned you can't just

plug a mouse in and it should work just

like this dude this sounds like proper

laptop speakers I've listened to lots of

laptops they're nowhere near this loud

but it's all just coming from the phone

well most Android apps are going to run

fine some are actually going to be

specifically optimized for a larger

display such as Lightroom now this is

maybe not going to be the full

experience but what you're getting here

is something that isn't going to be

pretty impressive especially considering

that it is after all running on a phone

so this is how I edit photos just crank

everything up you know we just

saturation it's just yeah crank that and

that's obviously a beautiful beautiful

image Wes doesn't approve I can I can

feel it right now so it's a hard no the

paint look on your face like pink of

saturation no no of course as a Razer

product Gaming has to be on the agenda

and here we're going to play a little

bit of vainglory this is a game that

obviously we run fine on the razer phone

but with a mouse and keyboard make it

curious to see how it plays I'm still

really impressed with just how close

this feels like I'm playing on an actual

laptop the screen is nice the speakers

are solid especially with this keyboard

it does make a big difference

the reason Project Linda is surprisingly

close to being ready however it is still

a concept right now

sonali does the hardware need some

tweaks specifically by adding a

touchscreen maybe something like an HDMI

ports but the software also could use

some work but my big question here is

what is the price going to be

considering that this only works with

the Razer phone if this was somewhere

around $300 I think would be a pretty

solid deal but if it gets closer to four

or five or six hundred dollars that's or

becomes a little bit more

questionable but I'm curious what do you

guys think about Razer Project Linda let

me know in the comments below and I will

catch you in the next one
