Acer ConceptD 9 Complete Walkthrough: A Designer’s Dream

Acer, not too long ago, was one of the first laptop manufacturers to realize that there is a huge group of professionals that buy their gaming laptops but not just to play games. They use them for professional applications like video production, animations, photo editing, and more. And that there is even a decent percentage of the them that buy gaming laptops and don’t play games on them at all (this guy). They decided to not just create a laptop aimed at this demographic, they decided to create an entire lineup and brand around them. Laptops in every size, desktops, […]

Samsung Galaxy Book Ion Complete Walkthrough: Lightweight Powerhouse for Less?

Samsung is trying really hard to come back to the PC industry. Adding Galaxy to their laptop lineup to try and maybe garner some of that brand equity from their popular phones for the newly launched laptops. Two of the latest of these laptops are the new Galaxy Book Flex and the Galaxy Book Ion which I have here. Both computers are very similar honestly with the major exception being the form factor (that maybe you could guess by the names). The Flex has a hinge to allow it to bend and has pen support, while the Ion, doesn’t. Because

Samsung Galaxy Book S Complete Walkthrough: Super Thin PC with Great Battery Life

The first laptop with a Snapdragon 8cx chipset in it was released not too long ago by Microsoft (they white-labeled the processor as the Microsoft SQ1) and I thought it was a great little competitor to the iPad Pro (you can check out my video on it here). But, while I did enjoy it, it sort of felt like it was a bit crippled in battery life. Qualcomm, the makers of the Snapdragon 8cx have shown us crazy multi-day battery life estimates from these chipsets and then Microsoft finally used it but gave the laptop it was in a very

Razer Blade 15 Studio Edition Complete Walkthrough

I’m kind of excited about this laptop, not going to lie. This is the new Razer Blade 15 Studio Edition and I’m excited because of the GPU power sitting under the hood. This is the first laptop to market with NVIDIA’s new Quadro RTX 5000 GPU. You’ve heard of the GeForce RTX 2080 line up of GPUs, I imagine, and you know they’re some of the most powerful GPUs out right now. The thing is, that while these GPUs can definitely be used for content creation–video/photo editing, 3D rendering, and other graphical professional work–it’s really meant for gaming. The Quadro

Razer Blade Stealth GTX 1650 Complete Walkthrough: The Most Powerful Ultrabook

It’s funny because Austin Evans and I are both fans of the Razer Blade Stealth lineup and both have even mentioned how much we’d love to see a Stealth with one of the newer GTX GPUs (like the GTX 1650 or 1660) back in June on Twitter. Well, it seems Razer was listening. This is the new Razer Blade Stealth GTX 1650 and this ultrabook, oddly enough, has the potential to be my new editing machine.

Razer Blade 15 OLED Complete Walkthrough: Top Specs Meets Top Screen

When I first saw the Razer Blade 15 OLED at CES earlier this year, I wasn’t yet told anything about it yet and it was just sitting on a coffee table in a back room at the Razer booth. The thing was they didn’t need to tell me much, I could tell right then and there what they were about to show me. One of my favorite laptops to edit on, the Razer Blade 15, was getting a super bright, HDR OLED display. Well, it’s been almost six months and that laptop finally went on sale. So, I bought one

Razer Core X Chroma: The Ultimate eGPU Dock

I’ve been using the Razer Core X with my Razer Blade Stealth for a while now, and it’s great. I have a GTX 1080Ti in it and it’s plugged into an ultrawide monitor, all of which translates to a great dock to edit my videos on and charge the laptop via the same cable, etc. I have to admit though, I used to have the Razer Core v2 and despite its much higher price tag, there are two things I missed from it that the Core X didn’t have: ports besides the sole Thunderbolt port, and, obviously, brightly colored LEDs.

Razer Blade 15 (2019) Complete Walkthrough: RTX Graphics

Another CES has passed and with it, we have yet another new laptop iteration from Razer (they launch so many laptops and new versions, I feel like its every few months and they have an announcement of some sort). Regardless though, this latest announcement was the unveiling of the Razer Blade 15 2019 model. I did a video on the original Razer Blade 15 not too long ago along with the Razer Blade Mercury White model and this is very similar but there have been some pretty significant upgrades since those models were launched. Now, since Razer was kind enough to
