I think that although it is neat, it will not sell. I think it Razer said that it will sell for about $1000. People will just say that they don't want to buy a $1000 console that only plays PC games.

The design looks stupid, IMO. I'll stick with desktop gaming until the end.

But some people like tablet gaming, so this would be great for them. Razer looks like its doing a good job.

it's crap

Since the Razer Blade (was that it? the super laptop thing) I am under the impression that they are desperate for attention.

It'd probably be pretty awesome. Then 17 minutes later, the battery would die. =(

It looks good, but for 1000 bucks I'd prefer to buy a cool Alienware laptop

im completely against the controllers on it, let it come with some specially designed controller that you plug into the thing or something, having them built onto it just makes it harder to transport and clunky.

Right off the bat, I can only see problems with that design.

How many PC games do you know that uses more than eight or ten buttons? I can think of quite a few, pretty much anything that is built around a 360's game pad, for example. Games that aren't built for the console's control limitations will be even worse. Granted, there maybe more buttons on the backside that aren't obvious in those pictures, but I just don't see that design holding up.

Besides, what controls the mouse? The motion censors or one of the sticks? I think either way, the device wouldn't be that great as a PC gaming system. A mouse would be so much more accurate and wouldn't make me go nuts. Besides, PC gaming typically doesn't have the auto aim which allows the less accurate means of aiming to be viable.

A powerful tablet isn't a bad idea. But, touting it as a PC gaming machine just won't work. The design simply won't work for PC games.

This looks like it won't even get past the conceptual phase.

Tb talked about it and i have the exact same opinion. Those razer "gadgets" are getting sillier every year.

That is among the most stupid product I have ever seen.
I'd like to know who the ideal customer is. No one would play that monstrosity in public. And if you're at home you might as well play on your PC on the better screen and better hardware.

They're big on concepts, not actual products and feasibility. The cooling system that'll be needed will alone push the weight a little over-the-edge for holding it in your hand comfortably.

By the way, Razer needs to proofread. I see a lot of missing commas.

Nice idea, but it's just a novelty. The price is going to kill it and I feel that the enthusiast bandwagon is going to be too small. The only thing it does for certain is ensure the PS Vita's demise, even though that was kind of dead before it started anyway. Had they made it a phone for another $100-$200 (final price around $499.99-$549.99) then they would have had something IMO. It'd sure beat a pricey dedicated portable console at least.

I'm wondering how long will it work with some newer AAA titles? Half hour? Besides - how many PC players will choose these stupid 'pads' instead of the mouse?

So...

I should pay a thousand dollars... to do what my laptop can do already, for $800? My laptop has an i7, 2GHz, a Radeon 6770M 1G VRAM, 6GB RAM, a similar sized screen, and to boot it has a keyboard and mouse instead of silly side controllers.

No thanks.

A laptop is better

I remember this. My first thought, "oh look at the nice almost identical styled controller to the Wii U tablet."

Not saying that it is identical, but they are still incredibly similar which makes me think that there was some idea sharing happening somewhere. Anyways, I probably wouldn't buy this. I just don't have the money to, but I wouldn't mind having one lying around. Not sure how much I'd use it though. It is cool if it can really play games like Skyrim, though.

Anyway, if I did have the money, I'd just buy a decent desktop for all my gaming needs. Yeah. rambling is fun.

Also, sadly, the size of the large screen is a negative, because it's so big that it would be very awkward to hold it. :(
