Razer's CES 2023 Reveal: A Closer Look at the Tomahawk N1 Computer and More

The world of tech was abuzz with excitement as Razer unveiled its latest innovations at CES 2023. Among the most anticipated products was the Tomahawk N1, a computer that promises to revolutionize the way we think about computing.

Austin from Razer walked onto the stage with a banana in hand, setting the tone for what promised to be an entertaining presentation. As he began to explain the features of the Tomahawk N1, it became clear that this was no ordinary computer. With its compact size and sleek design, it's clear that Razer has been working hard to create a truly unique product.

The Tomahawk N1 is essentially a laptop motherboard built into a card with a PCI slot. This means that you can plug in your graphics card, take advantage of SSD storage, and still manage to fit it all inside a compact form factor. The Intel NUC Compute Element plays a crucial role in making this possible, providing a full 9th-generation Core processor.

Austin's presentation was interspersed with humorous moments, as he struggled to get his joke about the banana working. However, as soon as Josh interrupted him, the tension was released, and Austin couldn't help but laugh. The chemistry between the two was palpable, and it was clear that they had a great rapport.

Once the presentation got underway, Austin explained the process of building the Tomahawk N1 computer. He walked the audience through the steps, showing how easy it was to install the graphics card, power supply, and NUC Compute Element. The whole process took less than 10 minutes, leaving everyone in awe.

But what's truly exciting about the Tomahawk N1 is that Razer plans to sell it as a completed computer, but also as a chassis itself, known as the Tomahawk N1. This means that you can buy the components separately and build your own computer, or purchase the pre-assembled unit for those who prefer convenience.

Of course, Razer didn't stop there. They also announced updates to their laptop line, including the Blade 13, Blade 15, and Blade 17. These laptops will boast faster displays with higher refresh rates, making them perfect for gamers who demand the best performance.

But the real showstopper was the news about the Blade 15 and Blade 17's new display technology. Instead of just a 60Hz or 144Hz display, these laptops will feature a stunning 300Hz display that promises to deliver unparalleled gaming performance.

The mobile side of things also got some attention, as Razer unveiled its Kishi controller, designed to clip onto a wide variety of phones. With the Junglecat attached to it, users can expect solid controls for their devices. And if you're an Android user with a phone and a need for speed, look no further than the Sila 5G router.

The Sila 5G router is capable of taking advantage of not only standard internet connections but also 5G networks. This means that users can enjoy lightning-fast speeds, low latency, and high-performance gaming without the hassle of traditional WiFi.

As Austin concluded his presentation, he couldn't help but poke fun at himself. "Hey, man, you gotta run your Google Stadia somehow," he joked, poking fun at his own struggles with gaming. The lighthearted moment only added to the sense of excitement and anticipation around Razer's new products.

In conclusion, Razer has certainly brought its A-game to CES 2023. With innovative products like the Tomahawk N1 computer, updated laptops, and exciting mobile accessories, there's something for everyone in this lineup. Stay tuned for more updates and reviews on these amazing devices!

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en- Hey guys this is Austin,and this is a Razer computer.Banana for scale, Ican't do this joke right.Banana for scale.This is the Razer Tomahawk,and with only ten liters of capacity,no joke when I walked in here,I straight up thought thisis going to be an eGPU.But, it's a computer,with computer things and GPUthings and a power supply,all in one tiny packagefor your enjoyment.- Where's that Banana?- I'm just gonna just move on from this,this is not (laughs)Josh, no, Josh why areyou doing this to me Josh?Please no, (laughs)- Austin's one banana tall.- Now this is a verydifferent kind of computerthan you're probably used to.So because it sits in acard-like form factor,you essentially plugit in to PCIe sloton a daughter board just like this.You plug in your graphics card here,and there also M.2 slots underneath.So depending on how you wanna set it up,you can take advantage of SSD storagenot only inside the Compute Element,you can also add additional storage insidethis daughter board.All of this is made possible by this,the Intel NUC Compute Element.Now well it might looklike a graphics card,what you got here is essentiallya full laptop motherboard builtinto a card with a PCI slot.So you look around backyou'll see pretty muchall of the ports you would expect.So we've got a coupleEthernet ports, four USB 3.0,two Thunderbolt as well asan auxiliary audio jack.What really cool about this, is it insidewe have a full 9thgeneration Core processor.Now mind you, it is anH-series so it's essentiallywhat you would find insay like a Razer Blade,like a gaming laptop, butit goes all the way upto an 8-Core Core i9 and somethingwhich can go into a very,very small form factor.So because I have a microphonein my hand and I'm lazy,would you like to build the computer now?- Definitely, I will showyou guys how it's done.- Okay, so the first step isto install the graphics card.So that will go right into the PCI slotand then you have thispower supply specificallyhas a very short cable so it pretty muchall just plugs right in.Then we drop the NUC in whichjust slides right into place.And with that, plug in the graphics card,plug in the NUC,and then,no pressurebut that's, there you go.I'm very proud of you andthen just slide it right in,close the handle and look at thatyou just built acomputer, how do you feel?- I feel proud of myself.- Have you done this moreor less than 10 times today?- Did it probably 50 times.- Now as of right now the plan for Razeris to sell this as a notonly a completed computerbut also just as the chassis itselfwhich will be known as the Tomahawk N1,now I don't have pricing on it howeverthe release date should hopefully bein the first half of this year.Now, the fun isn't justkept to the desktops,as Razer has also updatedtheir laptop line.So first of all the 13inch the Blade Stealthis seeing an update which is,well I can't really tell you muchbecause all I know isthat it will be gettinga faster display, a higherrefresh rate displayof some variety.So that's gonna be fun at some point.But probably the more excitingthing is that the Blade 15as well as the Blade 17 willbe getting a 300 hertz display.Yes, my friends, not 60,not 144, not 240,300 frames per second.Now do you need 300 frames per second?Of course you do.You're not a true gamer,if you're running at240 frames per second.If you're running at280 frames per second,no, you need 300 hertz.Now these won't be shipping until roughlythe first half of the year.However, they should be taking advantageof the 10th generation Intel processors.Which word on the street saysmight be up to like five gigahertz.So you know, probably behelpful when you're tryingto run your game at 300 frames per second.On the mobile side of things.We have the Razer Kishi.Now this is a controller,which is meant to clip toa wide variety of phones.So they actually do havethe Junglecat right here,which is sort of similarto what you could get on the Switch.However, it only works witha few different phones.However, with the Kishi, itshould work for most phoneswith a USB-C port on the Android side,and they are also workingon a version for iPhone.The idea here is that on the back,you can kind of stretch it out to kindof get the exact size of your phone,but this should be solid controlsfor a wide variety of devices.There's also this, the Sila 5G router.Now this is a router which cantake advantage of not only,of course, your standardinternet connection.But importantly, it couldalso take advantage of 5G,whether it's millimeter wave or sub-6.You can easily imagine this replacingyour standard WiFi at your house.And the cool part about it is especiallywhen you consider there'sa lot of cloud gaming stuff coming up.5G really is meant for thatsuper high bandwidth high,low latency, low high latency (laughs)Yes, don't, doesn't everyonelike high latency gaming?- The authority on tech.(laughs)- Hey, man, you gotta runyour Google Stadia somehow,I'm I right?- Is this why you'rebad at every game you play?- It's 'cause I'm bad at life Ken.I'm bad at talking.I'm obviously bad at findingfriends to hang out with.- Yeah, you have to,put them on payroll.(laughs)- Goodnight,thank you very much for watching.(laughter)- That's a window.- Where are you going?- Yes,yes, Ken it is a window.It's that time of the night.So that is a look atwhat Razer has at CES,definitely be sure tosubscribe to the channelfor more CES coverage.You can also check out someof our other CES videos here.Now if you excuse me, I'mgoing to go find friendswho are real friends because Ken Bolido,he's just not cutting it anymore.Like that just wasn'tuncomfortable silencebecause it's a lot oftruth in that statement.- You have a friendthat's just holdinga light for you.
