Ultimate Portable
Gaming PC Setup! #Helpful Post
Hey
guys, this is Austin
and
this is the ultimate portable gaming PC setup.
So
you may have noticed this giant
38
inch UltraWide monitor from LG
who
are awesome enough to sponsor this video
and
make this whole setup happen.
However,
all those pixels aren't gonna push themselves
which
is where this comes in.
The
Razer Blade Stealth might be one
of
my favorite new laptops this year.
While
Razer has been making solid computers for years,
the
Stealth packs solid hardware
with
a totally reasonable price.
With
a 12.5 inch touchscreen display
that
comes in either 2560 by 1440 or full 4K resolutions,
you're
getting a rock solid screen
no
matter which config you pick up
and
that makes a difference.
While
a thin and light laptop is hardly something
to
get excited about these days,
what
really jumps out to me is the build quality.
It's
all aluminum with a matte black coating,
which
feels premium.
There's
essentially no flex anywhere
and
besides the glowing green Razer logo,
the
branding is super minimal.
You've
got a solid keyboard with full RGB lighting
that
you can customize,
a
good trackpad,
along
with front firing speakers
on
either side of the keyboard that get surprisingly loud.
Inside,
you've got a brand new Core i7-7500U
making
the Blade Stealth one of the first laptops
with
the new Intel Kaby Lake processors.
It's
still a dual core part,
but
it's absolutely enough to keep up
with
even fairly intense use,
which
is helped by the addition
of
16 gigs of RAM being standard
on
everything but the base model.
When
it comes time to get some work done,
all
you need is single USB Type-C cable
to
plug the Blade Stealth directly
into
our LG UltraWide display.
The
LG 38UC99 might be one
of
the craziest displays I've ever seen.
UltraWide
monitors are always cool,
but
this takes it to another level
with
an enormous 38 inch 3840X1600 screen.
It's
hard to get across just how immersive
it
feels on video.
The
curved panel really does wrap around your setup.
With
a 99% sRGB color accurate display,
it
makes a lot of sense in professional uses,
like
photo and video editing,
where
that extra horizontal screen
real
estate can come in handy,
but
it's also good for gaming.
Not
only does it have AMD's FreeSync
to
keep the refresh rate smooth in game,
but
the actual panel itself is terrific as you'd expect.
Something
I wasn't expecting
is
just how good the built-in speakers are.
While
getting a headset is still a good idea,
I
had no problems gaming with monitor audio.
Around
back, you'll find the standard variety of ports,
but
the coolest part is USB-C.
Plug
the Blade Stealth in
and
you've got a pair of USB 3 ports
on
the monitor you can use
and
if you have a less powerful laptop like a MacBook,
it'll
even charge over the same cable.
If
you want to get your hands on this hotness,
LG
actually has a contest going on right now
where
they're giving away 15 of these
for
the UltraWide Festival 2016.
You
can enter by creating a 21:9 UltraWide shot
for
the monitor and submitting it

While
the Blade Stealth
is
a surprisingly killer little laptop,
if
you want to get the most out of it,
especially
when it comes to gaming,
you're
going to want the Razer Core.
This
takes advantage
of
the Thunderbolt 3 port on the Stealth
to
let you install a full desktop graphics card.
It's
dead simple.
Just
open up the Core, install a modern GPU
and
plug the laptop in and you're good to go.
While
performance is definitely going to vary
depending
on which graphics card you use,
it
makes a massive difference.
Hooked
into the UltraWide display,
you're
getting a rock solid experience.
You
can also leave USB accessories and Ethernet
plugged
into the Core and while it does have a fan,
it's
still quieter than a lot of gaming PC's.
The
Core will also power the Stealth
while
it's connected,
which
makes it even cooler.
You
can literally just pull
this
tiny laptop out of your bag
and
with a single cable, get a full gaming setup.
It
feels like the future and I love it.
If
you want some real portable gaming action,
you
can get the Razer Turret,
which
is a mouse and keyboard,
that's
perfect for couch gaming.
The
Stealth is totally powerful enough
to
handle less intense gaming on its own,
but
there's always going to be a limit
on
how much you want to do with a trackpad.
The
Turret pairs a wireless keyboard
with
a mouse and slightly magnetic mouse pad.
It
sounds weird, but it works surprisingly well.
There
are plenty of times where I want
to
game with a mouse and keyboard on a couch
and
this is the best solution I've found yet.
It
all folds up to a nice, portable package
and
hiding inside the mouse
is
a USB dongle if you want to connect it
to
a system that doesn't have Bluetooth.
It
comes with a magnetic dock
that
not only charges things,
but
also keeps it nice and tidy on your desk.
It
might not be crazy,
but
I'm really happy with how the setup turned out.
It's
such a killer blend of portability and power.
As
always, links to everything I talked about
will
be in the description.
Hopefully
you guys enjoyed
and
I will catch you in the next one.
