    Frankly, I'm not even sure what to think about it.

    Frickin nuts. I'd fail school if I got one of these.

    It's real, but a concept design. I don't think it's really slated to become a mainstream computing device for awhile yet (if ever).

    Whoah. That's a neat concept. Sounds like it's pretty deep in the pipeline still for them though. I'm rooting for this one!

    It's merely media fodder for the masses since CES is in town. Who knows if it will ever be released. I'm going to say no.

    It's just a blown up video gaming cell phone, without the option to make calls. Sony Erricson and Nvidia have been working on a really portable game device for years now. This is cool, no doubt, but also google Playstation or Nvidia cellphone. After all the most fitting device to be called "personal computer" is the modern smartphone.

    Sooo, where's the mouse controls? I see a fancy keyboard, but no mouse control.

    Yeah, and in how many modern games does your product meet the minimum requirements?

    It was a good long while ago I read that razer was making a mobile line. I support it all the way. That keyboard is nuts too!
