Razer Switchblade- Your Portable Gaming machine

Are you suffering from Gaming Phobia ? Than you need to check out this fantabulous report from China. Remember “Razer Switchblade” the gaming netbook(Concept)  shown to us by Razer back in January at CES 2011.  Recently, the company in collaboration with Intel & Tencent confirmed Swichblade’s availability in Chinese market. Though, its price & availability is still to be announced by Razer’s representatives. I must say the concept like Swichblade looks tempting & delicious at first glance. But that doesn’t mean it tastes as good as Strawberry cake. Here are some of its known specifications:

·        7-inch Display

·        Intel’s latest Z670(Atom Processor)

·        Supports Windows 7

·        3G & Wifi

·        Headphone jack

·        USB 3.0

·        Mini HDMI

If you look at the specifications its pretty comparable with latest computing device of today.  The coolest feature of this pretty machine has to be its Keyboard . Here you don't find an ordinary physical Keyboard, instead a programmed keyboard , which can be changed from Qwerty to gaming mode as per your preference . The illuminating keys will attract you the most.

What about the games? Are we going to see any App store?  I know your head is full of unanswered questions. Let me clarify for your convenience, the company has tied up with Tencent for games and other services. But there is no word about any App store.

Your comparison with Alienware M11x or ipad for instance is off no use. The machine falls some where between a laptop & Tablet. But it’s very close to PC gaming. That’s why company chooses China for its global launch. For your information, China PC gaming is pegged at $ 4.8 Billion in revenues. The country boosts 457 million Internet users, more than any other country. So, intelligent decision taken by Razer’s marketing people. The machine will be “Affordable “for sure.
