Razer hopes for Gaming Edge

E-mail Print PDF

So the Project Fiona tablet might not be CES 2012 vapourware after all-- it makes a CES 2013 appearance as the Razer Edge, a Windows 8 tablet with a nifty peripheral selection.

Razer EdgeBy itself the Edge looks like a regular tablet. It has a 10.1-inch display, is 25% thicker than an iPad and carries either Intel Core i5 processor, Nvidia GT640M GPU, 4GB RAM and 64GB SSD or Core i7 processor, 8GB RAM and up to 256GB SSD (in the "Pro" variant), making it powerful enough to play most current PC games.

A trio of add-ons make the Edge unique-- a force-feedback gameped controller (the "handles" seen in the first Project Fiona images), a keyboard dock and a "home console" dock for HDTV gaming.

Reportedly game performance is acceptable enough, even if future game releases might suffer on the device.

The Razer Edge will be available from Q1 2013, with the add-ons to ship later separately.
