-sniper de fuck-
Its about 3000 euro
This would be awesome for holidays and stuff.
But I feel it's going to have a huge price tag attached.
It looks good but i doubt you will be able to play fps's with out a mouse
[QUOTE=darth-veger;27240455]-sniper de fuck-
The price is set around 300-400
:siren: THATS WHAT I HEARD ON THE FORUM :siren:[/QUOTE]
300 to 400?
That.... thing has an Atom and the Optimus Maximus keyboard.
I don't think screens and keyboards of that size are suitable for gaming.

If it is to small for FPS, just get a USB keyboard and play away (and a mouse)
But that would defeat the purpose a bit
Oh, so it's intended to be hand-held like a DS or PSP. I thought this was trying to be a full laptop.

Everyone (who bought it) will use it in their own way
Running emulators on that thing would be cool.
I didn't realise how small it was until now, if this works then fairplay to the engineers.
I say at LEAST $1000 usd
thats fucking incredibly cool
Hah. Did they just relate "gaming", "powerful", "rich 3d graphics", and "high definition video" to "Intel Atom"? And too bad Unreal Tournament and Quake are going to be the only things it can handle.
[editline]6th January 2011[/editline]
On the plus side, it's kind of small.
[editline]6th January 2011[/editline]
And holy shit, that dude's accent is so difficult to describe. It's like an Asian and European mix, with hints of American.

Those words may be wrong, but i it could be awesome to have one of those as a entertainment device, i mean its small and i guess its pretty fast in doing things other then games.
(Emulators?)
in case your wondering, the PC hardware parts were designed by a team that used to work for OQO
but this better FUCKING mean that razer is making an affordable version of the optimus maximus or whatever its called for desktops
Nerdgasm
cant wait to play goldsource on this bad boy :smug:
They should have a removable micro hybrid usb/wireless mouse like the mamba but tiny.
I WANT TO MAKE BABIES WITH IT UNGGHH
Too bad I'll never be able to afford it.

Emulators aren't games?
[editline]6th January 2011[/editline]
I'm already saving up
Do want.
Expected AMDs new fusion technology, got slow Intel Atom.

This
I want it so much but I hate being so poor most of the time.
[QUOTE=Samuelgames;27240470]I don't see why is anyone hyped about this, It's just a netbook with a LCD keyboard similar to the optimus maximus and no touchpad or pointing devices, Plus it's too big to be handheld and too small to have decent hardware, besides Razer has a bigger tax than "Apple Tax".
It's just a big fat gimmick, If you want portable gaming just go for an iPod Touch or the Samsung Galaxy Player.[/QUOTE]
Yeah sure let me just install World of Warcraft on my iPod Touch.
Wow, they actually made a product we like?
