That was the most beautiful, crispy intro I've ever seen! Kudos for the editing skills! :)
agreed
Dave and MKHB do have the most crispy intros! :D
I totally agree!
dave is the type of youtubers when you only need to watch one video to subscribe, very professional work
Definetly
+Irun Mon thanks mon =)
+Dave Lee Show us what you would build for a mini-ITX gaming setup for around 500$? Mayb can make a comparison as to how it compares to out of the box solution by razor core.
Will it be compatible with Nvidia 1080?
You should make a setup video! Btw I love your vids, your editing is amazing!
+Eashwar Mahadevan Couldn't agree more!
Bro he made a setup tour video 😂
compared to linustech this channel is SO much more professional :D you seem like such a chilled out guy who would be great to hang out with!
Why razer? You killed your own product with that price! If I want to hook up a 980 to my laptop, I don't want to pay for an additional 980 to do it! That price is outrageous! I also expected this to be around 200 euros.
+Wistbacka At this price point, it's more cost effective to have a laptop AND a separate Mini-ITX system.

+Amar Gandhi ikr
+Wistbacka Yeah I was hoping for around a $250 price, but like he said there were delays and Razer is the first to do this through Thunderbolt so a lot of this price is probably from R&D. I would hope the second generation, years off unfortunately, would be much more reasonable.
Wistbacka I am agree with you
it doesnt come with the gpu inside, does it?
in my opinion this is your best video so far. The information presented was clear, concise and to the point. The editing was just the icing on the cake. well done
For now getting a new blade with a 970m and a 6th gen i7 seems like a good idea to me since it grants the user enough gpu power to wait 2-3 years before getting the core and at that time it won't cost half grand anymore.
Yea that's what I'm thinking
That was exactly my thought when I bought my MSI Ghost.
+Balls To The Walls OC yup. i def like the 2016 more than last years and gaming performance on 970M is very respectable
***** Plus with the skylake CPU the consumer probably will gain battery life and better thermals than last year (not to mention the greater VRAM count on the new blade which could help in higher res). Overall one of the nicest mobile computers out there (even though they did not fix that naming scheme : c'mon Min Tan, the 3rd "new Razer Blade 14")
Dave, you are the best! Thank you very much for that clear as water explanation and the easy to understand graphs. I was looking forward for a Razer Core video where I can get all my questions answered and you pretty much nailed it. Thumps up!
$500... classic Razer. I never thought I'd see a day where Alienware is a bargain.
+David lol so tru
+Electrifyer809 There is literally no other solution like it. its also a brand new technology...
+RoughRunner External GPUs have been out for *YEARS*. Alienware has their own and yes its proprietary but it costs 1/3 of what Razer is asking for. If Alienware just redesign it with a USB-C, which I assume they are going to do, then what?
Quit being a fanboy, the price is absurd. I can imagine here in Australia it will land for about $900AUD just for the core.
+Mike S yeah that sucks, you could buy a decent pc for that price
Mike S They have been out for years but none of them are anywhere near as good. do you not know how new technology works? it comes out expensive then gets cheaper over time... how can you assume alienware can just "redesign" their system to be cheaper? There is a reason they had to build a whole proprietary system in the first place. it is literally a whole different type of technology. This solution is not exclusive to razer and while its expensive right now it will get better over time. yes it isn't worth it at this very moment but you seem to think just because razer made it, that is the reason it is expensive which is pretty ignorant. there are only 3 devices which it works on so judging it indefinitely at this point is really dumb. any company could have released the first of this technology and it would still be awesome but expensive. thats how tech works...
Thanks for making this video, Dave! I have been researching this stuff exhaustively and you have just compiled everything it has taken me a week to find out in a 5 minute clip! I wish I would have seen this sooner, GREAT WORK!!
thanks dave. much love from Malaysia :)
Wow Dave's illustration on ThunderBolt 3 is Brilliantly simple and easy to understand !! Well done
Could you actually do a build log or something for a ITX build in the same price range as the Razer core? I would like to see it :)
I doubt you could fit a quad core Skylake CPU with hyper threading, 16GB RAM, PCIe SSD, PSU and a case in a $400-$500 budget. I'd say Mobo, CPU and RAM would cost about $400 alone.
+Dakota Davis that's ridiculous you don't even need those things for gaming. A quad core cpu is standard without having hyperthreading, 8 gigs of ram is plenty by today's standards, motherboards and cases aren't that expensive. And if you really think about that without a gpu such system could be build.
+TheEpicTurban Austin Evans has some pretty nice pc builds. This is the cheapest ruclips.net/video/aj2o5xaJJoI/видео.html
But make sure to watch all of his builds, you'll find one that suits you for sure.
+Dakota Davis Not everything listed is needed for gaming, and if you go MiniITX System instead of the Razer Core, the extra $1000 (or more depending on version) for the Blade Stealth gives you $1500 before GPU, fairly reasonable.
Thomas Zhang I agree with the quad core part. 8GB of RAM purely for nothing else but gaming, yes it'll be just fine. But most people don't use their PC just for gaming. They have background processes, web browsers and other programs. Before my games even start I'm already at about 7GB used.
Great overview Dave, you pointed out a lot of interesting stuff usually other reviewers just don't mention. Keep going! 😏
Are you gonna make a video on the 2016 Razer Blade?
+Afnan Iman yup
+Dave Lee We're still waiting...
I saw this video just now.. So this is just for laptops. It doesnt work as a normal desktop pc that i just plug in to a monitor... Right?
sadly yes
+Steven Mao well rip that dream then.
The production value is amazing. You deserve way more subscribers. A RUclips channel done right.
I hope the next surface Pro will come with an optional dock including a more or less powerful GPU.
+Apfel Schorle that would be pretty nice!
Thanks for breaking this down!
HI DAVE PLEASE REVIEW BUDGET LAPTOP FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS OUT THERE
Great video again. You always managed to break down the complex information into simplistic info-graphics that are easily digestible for a lay person.
Dave, if you know how to build one of those ITX things you were talking about, I would love if you could make one and do a video on that. Perhaps that might be the route I would take :)
+Chris Campbell I agree.
Hi David, great video as always, clear, sharp and straight to the point.
two points:
1. I wish u waited and done it hands on, unless you're doing another video than disregard this q
2. I've been always curious, What Camcorder do you use to record usually "like this episode" and what video editing software you use.
my wife is a singer and she wants to post singing videos and i loved ur cam quality and voice clearance.
I appreciate your help
Getting this to work with the macbook would be so cool
+Imran Muthuvappa that would be pretty awesome
The thin and light/ long battery life laptop every commuter dreams of, that becomes a full workhorse when you get home, I hope this is where we see the future of computing headed.
Stumbled onto your channel and totally digging it. Keep up the good work!
$500 is too high. By the time I buy a gpu I would have spent at least $1000-1100. May as well just build a separate desktop.
thanks for making this video. have been looking for vids like this on this topic for a while now.
Wait, is it possible that I use a Razer Core with my high end MacBook Pro 15" mid 2015? I have Windows 10.
+Orenjiiiro Little nope =/
+Dave Lee Really? I feel like it would. What does the Mac with windows 10 do differently than a regular laptop with windows 10?
***** bummer :(
+Domenic Portuesi Nope, only 2016 macbook pros will have thunderbolt 3 that is required
+Pierre Stromae ah, thank you.
Hey Dave thanks for the stellar video!
As usual the production quality on your vids are top of the line. But the content this time was especially awesome. I was in the market for decent laptop but I also needed something to game on. Those two requirements usually meant a bulky, machine that I would have to lug around everywhere. Then I came across the razer core and your video. Your analysis and simplification of how the core works and was incredibly useful and eventually pushed me to buy the core and stealth. Thanks Dave!
if i use a thunderbolt to USB-type C converter cable thingy, can i use this on my nexus 5x?
+Meek Acumen Bruh
why would you? that cpu will bottleneck it to shit. and what games lol
+Meek Acumen Bruh, that s cool bruh
just hook it up to an M9 and you'll be able to burn down your house
the nexus 5x only supports usbc the core uses thunderbolt over usb c
Wow, you gave us straight info and made it very clear. The little animation and such made explaining it and understanding it much easier. Thanks for info, earned a sub and a like :) but another thing, im really looking to get this considering my school allows laptops and I think this whole invention is sick. Would you really suggest it? No problem getting another gpu, i have a fine 980 ti with me, and If i spend the summer saving up for this, I could get it. Just wanting your opinion, thanks m8
i dont wanna be that guy. but 4:20.
"PRICNG"
but sweet video! thanks for the research and nice animations :D
No way, I found Hamaji Neo
Really high quality videos, man! Subscribed!
thank you very much for this, I didn't have too hard a time following what you were saying compared to other tech channels :)
Nice video Dave. Interesting to learn how all this stuff works.
Have been waiting for this review for so long !
A Razer Core and a Dell XPS 15 would be the perfect setup for me right now, since I need a light laptop to take to school but still want a big monitor and more power at home!
I really loved the way you use those smartart thingys to describe the operation and the bandwidth of the razer core.
DEFINITE SUBSCRIBE!!!!!
this is the best channel where tech tips and guides are provided with the most detailed explaination ever..... quality from the first video til now is just fantastic... ive been following for quite sometime... reviews on any type of tech.... pc..ultrabooks...gaming laptops....vehicles...even toothbrushes... all here..... cant wait to see more dave... im always gonna check everday on any uplaods.... keep it up!!! #BestTechChannelEver
I cancelled my Blade and Core pre-orders and went for Alienware 15 R2 with Skylake 6820hk i7. I need all the CPU I can get for Pascal GPUs, and Razer seemed shy about releasing benchmarks for the Core, while I knew exactly what I was getting with the Alienware option. Plus, it cost me $1K less, and Alienware's Support is legendary.
Did you get your rig yet? Curious how you like it.
+Christopher Ungeheier I absolutely love my Alienware 15 R2.... The keyboard is ok but is a clear step down from the m17x r4, but way better than any chiclet keyboard including that of the Razers. I have the Amplifier but cancelled my 980ti and will get the 1080 when it comes out next week.
KnightMD thanks! I'm on the fence currently.
+Christopher Ungeheier If you're in the US, and have the cash to spare, well, wait for the Core reviews and benchmarks. The laptop and Core look a lot slicker, and the Core is plug and play. I will probably upgrade to next year's version when the Blade has significantly better internals (unlike my 15r2's 980M, the 970M cannot drive VR on its own; and the Core i7 6700 is 20% slower than the 6820hk) and smaller bezels.
I got stuck with my Blade Stealth as I ordered mine the day preorders opened for it and got it before the Core price ever came out; also before the 2016 Blade came out (or I would have just gotten one of those). Now I am trying to decide if I want to just go ahead and get the core any way like I planned on doing (probably will) or just not bother and have a very nice but a bit pricy ultra book, and then just build a new desktop but have to transfer school and work data between the two when I need more graphical power. I went with the UHD 256gb option so it cost me $1500 for the laptop alone.
Thx for sharing, totally life saver!
Your videos have such a unique style I love it :D
I'm really glad I watched this video. I had this awesome idea when I buy the Razer Core and connect it to a Dell XPS 15. The Dell has the right thunderbolt port, but lacks those necessary drivers/BIOS functions to make it work. Thanks!
You are hands down the most eloquent reviewer online
Keep em coming bro
+Samir Ahmed hah. well thanks for watching my videos! =)
in spite of having such huge gaming community on RUclips and such quality reviews from +Dave Lee, why the subscribers isn't increasing on this channel.
Great video Dave
+Anshul Singh thanks for watching! =)
really nice vid, learned a few things in design and editing and it made me subscribe. Congrats ;)
Animation, editing, vibe, content. All solid. Great video.
+Steve Doroff thanks for watching! =)
hey dave,
great video btw. i splurged on the top tier Stealth back in February. Missed the preorder for the Core, but went ahead and bought a R9 Nano GPu. my question is, do you have any inside info on the release date? if so, it would make my day!
Great video as always, friend. Very informative.
+Mr. X Dreams thanks for watching it =)
+Dave Lee The pleasure is mine! I hold you right up there with MKBHD as far as where I get my tech reviews.
Part of the info is incorrect. Thunderbolt 3 may be capable to push 40 Gb/s while connected to a rack of SSDs, but on PCIE protocol, Thunderbolt 3 is capable to push PCIE 3.0 X4 transfer speeds (31.52 Gb/s counting interface overhead), which turns out to be exactly the same as Alienware's solution. Anyway, a TITAN X GPU would only be bottlenecked by a mere 5% of it's total output (or maybe 10% on the worst scenarios), wich is great in my opinion.
Would you suggest to buy this right off the bat, or wait a while?
Love the detailed video Dave! Now Razer, my main problem is it's $499 WITHOUT a gpu. So I have to spend an extra $250 to put a decent graphics card in it. It's not even a whole PC! Excuse me Razer!? o_O
Dave i think a quad core ultra book +those external box+gtx1080 will be a beast!
These videos have a great quality! Keep it up
I'm pretty sure the MacBook USB C is not Thunderbolt 3 compatible. So you would never be able to use this with a MacBook running Windows - until Apple refreshes their computers with Thunderbolt 3.
Another fantastic video, well done Dave!
XConnect is essentially GPU hotplug/unplug. nVidia added similar functionality to their driver from what I saw. Thunderbolt 3 eGPU seems bit vendor locked as it's up to laptop maker to provide BIOS compatibility. I've asked local Dell about latest Dell Precision and they say it's not supported and not planned (where as other source tweeted XPS was certified for this)...
ExpressCard eGPU didn't had to rely on vendor ;)
Very informative. Thanks Dave. Intel also showed off some graphics docks with built-in mobile GPUs enabled over Thunderbolt 3. That would also be interesting for ultrabooks with only integrated GPUs.
WELL DONE MAN! I'm excited for the Core. Do you think it will be worth the money? Also, even with USB-C and all, which one would you prefer, the Core or the Alienware?
+Product Peel It's a pretty expensive setup. You'll have to wait for the full review =) Thanks for watching!
Love your videos man.Keep em coming!
Seriously dude, you deserve like a Million subs. -_-
Great video Dave! You deserve more subs!
Nice video! Perfectly solve my problems! I just wish Razer could ship razercore as soon as possible, no more delays
Awesome video! Really well explained! Keep it up!
Love your speakers in the background, what brand are those?
Macbook owner here... you state that the Razer Core wont work on a Macbook, but you're forgetting that we CAN install Windows 10 through BootCamp, what then? Can I use a Razer Core on my Windows 10 side of my Macbook?
Great review very informative... one question, what software do you use for your 2d graphics?
You should seriously consider doing an "Explained" series on this channel.I learned a lot from this ;)
+rishabh patel Maybe with different title, beacuse "Explained" videos are MKBHD's :))
Excellent video as always! Thanks!
I have a MacBook Pro 2015 with thunderbolt 2, is it possible to use apple thunderbolt 3-thunderbolt 2 adapter to connect ? Razer core ➡️ apple TB3 to TB2 adapter ➡️MacBook Pro 2015
If this set up works well on bootcamp win10 I'll buy it.
Well done!
Wait so will this work on a Macbook with Windows 10 installed on it?
nope you dont have the TB3
or the bios up dates.
I miss this intro! Such good music!
Buy the RAZER CORE = 500$
Buying GTX 1080 = 900$
Total cost = 1400$
A laptop with GTX 1060=1300$
(this graphics card is VR ready and it allows you to play best games above 60 fps)
So, this thing (Razer Core) is very expensive, I think.
I don't understand this but I watched the whole video. Thumbs!
+Hi-Fi Insider hah. well if you have any questions about it lmk!
what i wanna know is this.
1.) Will the alienware amplifier outperform this?
2.) Can this be used with all type C usb port
+Sasha Fierce 1) similar in performance but it depends on your setup. 2) needs thunderbolt 3. not just usb-C
very intuitive suggestion, thanks!
Thank you so much Dave for all this work, really informative and helpful. Personally I'll wait for this market to mature for a year or two before buying.
Your videos are amazing! You should get a website to host text reviews!
So will I be better off using wifi rather than plugging into ethernet on the core?
What about running games off external drives?
I'd like to see some actual numbers on how framerates are affected.
Great video, didn't know using the built in monitor would be such a resource hog and I have a 4K screen..
Really liked how you portrayed resource management but now I'll have to find out what peripherals use up noticable bandwith and stick to what's essential. A wireless mouse and powered external DAC/Headphone amp should use up virtually nothing or atleast very little. Charging shouldn't affect bandwith, right?
It'll definitely become a bottleneck as newer GPU's get released though and even if that wasn't a problem I'd still not pay 500. Just hope we won't have to wait long for competitors to bring that down.
2:32 you can use all that without using the core by just using the ports on the Laptop itself
I hope the core will be like PC cases, you only really need to buy it once.Since the standards are implementable by other manufacturers, I don't think the core will be alone for long. Competition will surely make cheaper options available.
This is a great idea and I hope this pans out with more affordable products in the future. While I love my desktop, i think converting my rig to a laptop plus graphics core would have so much more utility!
4:05 All those gaming laptops... And he has so many more.
this guys makes really great vidoes ...just let us know when razer core is available and ready for other companies like asus and acer ..
Putting desktop cards in laptops would remove the external amps, with new architectures being much efficient.
I bet you skipped work when this first came in. Intriguing but not sold on it yet, like you said it needs more time to mature. You're gonna do a video on the new HP Spectra when it drops right? I wanna see your take on it.
Can't wait for laptops to come with two TB3 ports!
+Chris Coddington spectre 13
Could you make a video on the MSI Apache Ge60. Your reviews are way better than all the others and I would love to see your opinions on it, especially since it is high up on my list of laptops I want.
I think you're wrong with the bandwidth. Thunderbolt 3 supports 40gbs full duplex, so 80 gbs full.
+Wolgor typed this earlier for someone else but i'll repaste here:
No device using the PCIe bus uses a single lane, they use multiple lanes. So if you have something that uses near full bandwidth you get 'congestion' because of too few lanes. The motherboard automatically reserves a certain number of lanes for every device you plug in. So even if a USB device uses very little bandwidth, it uses up a lane.
This is why razer's job was tough as hell. To have intelligent "turning off"' of automatic lane assignment. So back to your quesiton. Duplex @ 40Gb/s both ways can't work here because of the sheer number of lanes being consumed by a PCI-E (not bandwidth limitations). Hope that help clarify! (Razer's engineers can explain it in much more detail than I can haha)
this guy has some serious video production skills.
great review.hope this will work with dell precision or hp zbook studio!for hardcore rendering we really need one of them
agree with you completely ... 500 for just the enclosure is straight up robbery
+ironphoenix04 agreed. the maximum amount of money i could spend for this enclosure is 350$
Sleek video as always, thanks. Tell me pleas where did you got that chair from ? Thanks
+Haik0 herman miller ... mirra2.. ? i think?
Thanks
The thing I need to know is when the hell I can buy my core. I bought my Razer Blade Stealth the day you could order and got a code for a $100 discount for the core and it expires in a couple of weeks. I was at work the one day you could preorder the Core and by the time I got home it was just listed as notify me.At least I still have my gaming desktop to use for now but it is a few years old and needs a few upgrades and I kind of wanted to go the Stealth/Core as I wanted a good ultra book for school and writing and then be able to just use the same system when gaming rather than having to have two copies (or crack one) of some of my more expensive software.
Dave do you think XPS13 and XPS15 will support this?
Second question are you going to review new Thinkpad 13?
Eye opener. But still indecisive to buy or not
What games are being played in this video? Great video. I gave it thumbs up.
atleast overwatch! ^^ the other funny looking games i cant say..
Lovin the new intro music
Would you be able to use this with the new MacBook pros, since they have thunderbolt 3?
