What is the Razer switchblade?
pretty cool, right?there is already a review out there from someone saying that its garbage... the person has never touched one, and had opinions on things that aren't even set in stone yet on. One of his complaints is that it was too small... HELLO! thats like complaining that a compact car is too small... well its small for a reason: portability. Its as big as it can be while still small enough to fit in my pocket.
If you don't want a portable gaming device this probably isn't for you(DUH)... so why would someone be idiotic enough to complain about a portable gaming device being small? I dont know, but they were smart enough to turn off comments on their youtube video xD(soo many dislikes).
heres what i love about it
1. keyboard
It's innovative, fun, customizable, pretty.
2.small, but hi res
There is a high pixel density, which will make it easy on the eyes. 1280x600 on a 7in screen is like 2560x1200 on a 14 inch screen...very high. nearly double what most can do
3.gameplay looks smooth
The WoW and LoL game play looks very nice
4. hd video output
you could hook it up to your tv at home
5. can attach keyboard and mouse
can use it as a normal laptop/pc at home for gaming
here are my concerns
1.release date
they dont have one yet =(... and rumor is they are looking at 2012. tbh, by that time something newer and shinier will probably be on its way out.
2. intel atom processor
just my personal experience. I bought a laptop with the atom processor on it. Brought it home, powered it on, boxed it up, took it back to the store. It was incredibly slow. The gameplay on their prototypes looks great tho.
3. Cost
While there is only speculation out there right now, estimates are between 300 and 500$... if the cost is too high i'd rather just carry around a laptop.
So, to me it looks amazing... If they are able to release it in the near future, run a lot of games on it, and keep the price low, the switchblade will be a huge success!
