Some interesting marketing ploy by Razer.

Let's see where it goes.

Steam and it's 2million at low points, and 3million at peak proves that all by itself...

I would not be surprised if they launch their own line of hardware (power supplies, ram, videocards, cases, etc).

They announce a while ago they were making a gaming laptop. Might be a release for that or even razor branded dessktop computers.

So long as they show the same dedication/quality as they do the rest of their products, and do in fact do that, I'd totally build my next computer from their parts.

Go to the site, and there's a countdown. Obviously something being announced in almost 2 days. (1 day and 22 hours or so)

Nah that was just a prototype. They'll probably never release it.

All the makers of consoles have to do is allow their console to run windows as well with all the fixings and give the users the ability to connect a keyboard and mouse (Which some consoles already have) and the world of PC gaming would be over.

I prefer PC gaming over console but if my console had the features of the PC I'd be sold on the idea.

It's a laptop and it looks pretty neat. Thin and powerful also moved the touchpad to the right of the keyboard. I kinda like that lol.

Wow thanks razer for this absolutely groundbreaking innovation.
Pc gaming would be dead within the next few weeks without it, but you razer, you alone saved it! Everyone who says something different like: "hurr, the awesome games like Minecraft, Amnesia or BF3 on PC are what makes this platform stand out durr!" is a stupid dickhead.

This is somewhat of a yawner... I mean the only thing cool about it is the touch pad display. Without that it'd be just another laptop with above average parts inside of it.

It's not about the performance. It's about being the thinnest gaming laptop. You know the m11x? Gaming netbook? It's thick as can be. The Blade however is less then an inch thick. It's just like buying a mac you are not buying it for the performance you are buying for the name and the design that goes into it.

True it may be over priced even if it is an inch thick but it's no doubt a "true" gaming laptop. Most laptops with that power are thick, heavy, and by no means easily portable. Plus how bad ass would you feel if you pulled out a laptop this thin and light and started playing crysis on max graphics in the middle of a lan party?

I would buy it but I don't have the kind of money and if it didn't cost almost $3,000. To be honest $2000 would be the most I would pay for it.

I don't plan to stick a laptop in my pocket, bookbag is fine.
Also people who just buy it for the brand/name w/e are just self-absorbed elitist
