: For a second I mistook the CEO of Razer for John Cho of Harold and Kumar.

Cool laptop, but does it really configure itself to any game or just mainstream games? And what about resolution sizes? A small size laptop will always be limited in some way.

When did the Atom processor become a gaming one?

Razer should just develop a gaming grade optimus keyboard for a decent price. This thing is just going to flop.

I don't see the point in wasting tons of money on a gaming laptop. I rather use the money and build a decent desktop rig to game. In my opinion, it feels much better to game on a desktop than a laptop.

I don't understand why anyone would bother playing any sort of PC game on that tiny screen and probably on really low settings... It'll only be good for single player games too if you're actually going to use it "on the go".

you guys need to look at it as a handheld media device and not like a reg laptop.. your not going to be installing all kinds of software... your main uses are gaming then if you want listen to music and maybe websurfing...

I use a somewhat powerful laptop to play games. Having a desktop for games is good if you're always in one spot, but I am always in different cities or countries so need a laptop. 7" is quite small though.

some ppl play multiplayer games and prefer to do it in a group together, such as DOTA

but that 7" display is gonna suck lol. I played dota one time on my 10.1" netbook and it kinda sucked lol

i agree,how will this thing perform? we have to remember that this isn't a laptop per se but a handheld gaming device. if we take that into account this is going to be the most powerful mobile handheld gaming device ever.....

the atom they are using is supposed to be using the x86 architecture which would mean its basically like a dual core processor (maybe on par with the intel Tseries?)

but if it has 3g who wouldn't want to be able to play an fps while on the bus, or even nowadays will cell coverage basically over the lower half of BC on long road trips?

I played dota on my eee and i can attest that while it wasn't optimal it still satisfied my gaming itch.(plus sitting during lectures playing is pretty cool LOL)

Especially with razer guaranteeing nothing less than 25fps! it must be something to behold. I;ve been playing NFS:shift on my galaxy tab (same 7inch screen) and i honestly didn't mind the size, especially when on a drive (though angry birds is so much better on the tab than my x10 )

Razer needs to get this product out to testers hands so we can find out what this puppy really can do!

It's all about the GPU they stick in there. Although this is a concept and may not even make it to production.

Sucks that you're ashamed of your hobbies; you fail at life imo.

Lol i played dota on aspire one and it was so crappy. In group fights it would lag out so hard, by the time it stopped lagging, I was dead.
