Posted on August 26, 2011, Phil Owen Razer Introduces “World’s First Gaming Laptop”
Well this is weird. Razer has announced their thing that will prove that PC gaming isn’t dead, and it’s… a gaming laptop. Not just any gaming laptop, though — a $2,800 one. Here’s what you get for all that dough:
- 2.8GHz Intel® Core™ i7 2640M Processor
- 8GB 1333MHz DDR3 Memory
- 17.3″ LED Backlit Display (1920×1080)
- 2GB GDDR5 NVIDIA GeForce® GT 555M with NVIDIA® Optimus™ Technology
- Built-in HD Webcam
- Integrated 60Wh Battery
- 320GB 7200rpm SATA HDD
- Wireless Network 802.11 b/g/n Compatible
- Battery: 6 hours idle, 2 1/2 if playing “hardcore” game.
- 16.81″ (Width) x 10.9″ (Depth) x 0.88″ (Height); 6.97lbs (Weight)
In addition to that, you get ten dedicated gamer buttons, and the touchpad doubles as a touchscreen. But, still, $2,800? That’s a lot of money. I can’t even get financing for that much, because I’m poor. I have to admit, though, it’s a sleek piece of machinery, and it’s remarkably thin for something like this.
