Two Razer Blade Prototypes Stolen From Razer Facility

During the weekend of November 4 Razer had a break in at their San Francisco Bay Area Research and Development Lab. The break in resulted in the theft of two Razer Blade prototypes. 

"As you can imagine, the return of these units is very important to the company." says a Facebook update from Razer. "We have already reported to the authorities who are working closely with us on this matter."

The Razer Blade is Razer's new gaming laptop in which Razer believes that it can change the world of gaming. The laptop looks like it will be a neat little thing with cool features for gamers to enjoy. Hopefully the theft of the two protocols won't cause too much problems for Razer and won't interfere with the release of it either.

If you have any information about the incident, contact Razer at cult@razerzone.com.

"We take this at of theft seriously and would like to appeal for its return and discourage anyone from buying the Razer Blade prototypes from the perpetrators, where online or otherwise, as they are stolen property."

Razer's Razer Blade Finally Makes Its Debut

Earlier this year, Razer announced a gaming laptop that would change PC gaming. The Razer Blade surely won't change that, but it does seem to have a chance to laptops completely dedicated to gaming though. Today at PAX, Razer announced their Razer Blade.

The Razer Blade will be having some neat little features, like a touch pad; the touch pad will be a separate screen on the Razer Blade in which you can surf the internet during your gaming session, IM your friends and what not. If you don't want it to act as a second monitor, you can set the touch pad so it will act like a mouse with simple swipes across the touch pad. Razers says that it doesn't sound bad and that playing shooters using the touch pad is actually quite easy.

The specs are pretty impressive, except for the hard drive, I would replace that with a TB. Other than that though, I like it. Intel and Razer seems to have done an impressive job with their new Razer Blade.

• 2.8GHz Intel® Core™ i7 2640M Processor
• 8GB 1333MHz DDR3 Memory
• 17.3" LED Backlit Display (1920x1080)

Razer Switchblade

When it comes to gaming, Razer does not mess around. The people at Razer Zone has designed on for gamers, and I'm impressed. This baby is powered by Intel's Atom processor, which brings a powerful punch for quite a few games. What I like about this is that you can play an FPS on it along with RTS/MMO/Casual games. And with each game type, the keyboard scheme changes. For example, if you're launching up WoW on it, you have all your macro keys and arrow keys and for your FPS games, you have arrow keys and attack keys. These are just concept designs, so there is no release date nor price for it at the moment. And don't you think this is just limited to gaming. The Switchblade will be running Windows 7 with Wi-fi and 3G service. Oh, and for you FPS freaks, don't worry, you're able to plug in a portable mouse.

I love Razer, they make excellent products. I have a couple of their products and I'm completely satisfied with them, so I'm pretty sure that the Switchblade (just the project name, not the actual name for their new PC) will do well and have major hits. If I ever had extra money for it, I would buy it (even if it did cost an arm and a leg)
