    This is too proprietary for me to love.

    Boo for you, Razer.

    Interesting concept but I think it dumbs PC building. Curious about specs and cost.

    I thought the same thing as soon as I saw it.

    As for others, it's 2014. Upgrading a PC shouldn't have to be difficult for someone who isn't technically inclined.

    One of the fun bits on this thing is that it features a touchscreen on the front; Razer could ship this with multiple 'S installs and you just tap the one you be wish to boot to. Need Windows 7 for work but prefer Windows 8? Or maybe you'll be able to switch to SteamOS for gaming, then return to Windows for productivity.

    You can do all of these things now, but none of them are very easy for someone who isn't into the hardware side of computers.

    Either way, this is just a prototype that may never get built. But it's a pretty cool concept nonetheless.
