 Hey, this is Ross with The Verge, and we're looking at the Razer Blade. This is Razer's 17.3 inch gaming laptop, long in development. It's about.8 inches thin, 6.66 pounds, a little lighter than a MacBook Pro. What you get is you've got a 17.3 inch screen. They've got Dolby Home Audio 4, which is like keyboard. Very true matte display, 1080p resolution, giant, I want to look at this, giant power button. This is basically the only thing outside the keyboard. The big thing of course is the switchblade controls and the touch screen. This is actually a multi-touch trackpad, but it has a functionality. If I push the numpad, I've got my numpad. Page up, page down, num lock, you can see it changes. If I want to go back, I hit the Razer button. Look at little apps like YouTube, and go ahead and just watch whatever you hear while I'm playing games on here. Go back, browser, I can look up, if you're a website, I can catch up on The Verge news. I can look up FAQs while I do that. Other little things, macros. Razer said they're going to open up the SDK to the public, hopefully sometime in the next six months. I'm not sure about that. We can also do is you can add shortcuts, like we have League of Legends here, although I know it's not going to load, YouTube, that should load up something. These are fully programmable in the final build. This is final hardware, but pre-final software. There should be a firmware that comes out either right as it ships or just before. Specs wise, you've got a core i7 processor, you've got, it should be Sandy Bridge, you've got a number of USB ports here, you've got power, ethernet of course. There is no optical drive, so if you're doing gaming, you're going to have to download, you're going to have to get a separate drive. This machine, again long in development, long time coming, is coming out, finally shipping end of January for $27.99. There is no configuration options, so you have to be happy with the GeForce, you have to be happy with the core i7 processor. It's not bad for the price, but there is no configurability and there is no upgrades. You can't take the battery out, you can't take the RAM out, and you can't take the storage out.
