Could be switchblade but I remember Razer already announcing/releasing it for China.

Yeah theres been a ton of annoucements on switchblade anyways i dont think theyd have a mysterty site for something that already has been seen in and out...whatever it is its something big Felipe's suggestion seems most fitting atm

WHAT IS IT? im curious.

While I like Razer, I have a feeling it's just PR for some new product.

Im excited to see what they're going to reveal. Seeting my alarm for 10:30 so I dont miss this :lol:

It is time to stand up against shoddy console ports...LOL...are they freaking serious???The nerve on them to say such things...

Razer are the one who helps the shoddy console ports...they are making 3rd party products for those consoles
It is time to return to the original gaming platform. How can you say this when you are selling this :

How the heck does a X360 controller have to do with PC gamers getting console ports? They can still be used on PCs as far as I know I hear they suck. Most of their products are still PC stuff.

It's just Razer being Razer again, which is one of the reasons I like them. I'm curious to see what it is but I expect something not that great, like which companies they partnered with to make products based off of the Swtichblade concept design.

I feel they wouldn't say PC gaming is dead just to tell us about Razer Switchblade since the device has already be exposed to the public. Makes me wonder what they're going to do about Shoddy console ports or "dwindling exlcusives".

Razer making or publishing games? Would make sense for the words they used. We'll see in twenty minutes

That would be more then acceptable if the games are good and make use of our tech :D then again it could end up like Intels attempt with Project Offset and Larrabee.

As sad as I would be, I could completely see it ending up like Intel.

So, they made a laptop. You know, I was expecting disappointment and that's exactly what I got. Razer I love you guys, but please just stick to making badass peripherals.

Although I do love the LCD keypad on the right. I guess this means they ditched the Switchblade conecpt after nobody signed on to mass produce them and just made a bigger one.

Yep, it's a laptop.

It's a $2799.99 laptop. Why would someone spend that much money on a system that cannot be upgraded? Yes, it might have great performance, but building a desktop PC with more power would be cheaper.

I was hoping Razer would actually announce something exciting, but I was right when I expected a flop.

Razer would of been better off developing/publishing titles to prove PC isn't dead instead of showing a $3k laptop that pretty much gives console gamers another reason to say PC is too expensive.

it's a laptop :(

I called that one awhile back. I knew it was nothing.

No gamer woudl waste 3 grand on a laptop. They obviously have no idea who are PC gamers.

A $3000 laptop is going to save us? Do we even need saving?

wow that was weak!

SuperBobz

with FAR more power, i mean a 2700 dollar desktop pc would be a monster.

No SSD? Gamers who buy this have the money to slap down $2,800 for a gaming laptop, but don't want to shell out the extra couple hundred for an SSD that will make the thing boot faster, their games load faster, and battery last longer? Huh?

And for that money, the screen better be reeeally purdy...

Called it lol

I love my Razer Deathadder, my GF is happy with her Diamondback, I love using my Razer Onza controller.

This though, $3000, for a laptop.. Um no. Not even close.

Razer this is not really gonna do much but show you that you wasted a whole lot of money on it.

If I were going to buy a gaming laptop from someone besides ASUS and pay $3000 or more, I would buy a Falcon Northwest DRX though I would probably go with the top end video card (GF 580M and not the Quadro as I wouldn't be doing any developing on it) and more RAM and HD space.

So what is the deal with the touchpad? Seems like a big selling point but I don't see whats the big deal with it.

Three grand is a lot. I've got an Asus G72 and its been fine with every game I've tried. Maybe not everything maxed out, but way more than the bare minimum for every game I've played. It cost me an easy $1,000 at Best Buy

Not many people includig me can afford that. Well, guess u have to pay a certain premium to get the top stuff.

Razer you are a great company. I love my lachesis mouse, but seriously? These will not sell well at all. I bet part way into next year these will be less than $2000. The touchpad is pretty cool though :D

Its for people that play games like World of Warcraft where you can make your own Macros on that touchpad. its something like Optimus Maximus Keyboard where you can change each key on the keyboard to anything you like. Can't give you a link about Optimus Maximus Keyboard because Gamespot is messing up with the Link but try to google it. its pretty awsome keyboard.

The Razer Blade a full aluminum chassis laptop with 17" display and only a weight of 3kg, so its pretty light for a "gaming" laptop. The look doesnt look bad either IMO but with a price of almost 3000$ is what that will stop me to buy it. I don't know how long the battery is gonna last but with that touchpad and the spec. like most "gaming" laptop then I don't think it will last very long and one of the most importent thing is how long can you play games on it before it shut down because the laptop become too hot?
