Razer Project Valerie

ridiculous! and now i want it.

 

Before anyone starts saying that this is stupid; impractical; who would ever buy it; etc. Let me say this:

This is a concept design. Concept designs are not intended to show real products you can buy in the future. Concept designs are intended to show the prowess of a company's design & engineering teams. Concept designs are NOT showing you prototypes of products you can buy in the future.

 

Here are some pictures.

Wow. That just looks awesome. Kudos for Razer for being adventurous.

The last time we saw a notebook with more two or more [real] displays was the circa-2009 Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds.

Wow, I never seen that one either. Looks cool.

Yeah personally I think Razer has hit something brilliant here. Now if they actually improve the cooling and build of the laptop instead of cramming it all in, they will have an absolute monster hit.

This will and would eliminate the need to purchase extra displays once you get the laptop (assuming you could control if the screen roll out or not).

edit: You can actually choose to whether roll out the screens or not

 

15: 1080p versions please

 

The idea and concept to me is more ideal for a business person and not for a gamer. The Idea behind it is amazing though.

 

i can only imagine how great laptops will be in the next 5-10 years with flexible oled technology. imagine the color and contrast of oled and you can curve and bend it. so imagine a 17 inch or even 15 inch laptop frame being able to deploy a 20 inch curved oled display like a ship unfurling its sails... really great time to be a tech enthusiast.

 

Would be pretty cool if you could wrap a flexible screen around the case, but I'm not sure they would conform well.

 

So someone allegedly stole the Razer Valerie prototype laptops from CES, no idea how. People say it might be an inside job, a PR stunt by Razer, and Razer say it is 'industrial spionage'. Whatever you guys.

Anyways, so the laptop has, again allegedly, appeared on the Chinese website. Article source: http://wccftech.com/razer-valerie-laptops-found/

But, funny thing, they are on "sale" for $21k but Razer offers $25k to whoever can identify the culprits.


So... in all essence. What a time to be alive. We have the Valerie 3 monitor setup, the liquid cooled Asus laptop with a large ass and now this satan, the Acer predator 21 inch "laptop" which has a curved display.

 

As someone who writes for a living and isn't a gamer, I would buy this the moment it came out. Would prefer lower resolution screens, just for battery life, as I don't do anything where I'd appreciate 4k.

 

I think the price is, unfortunately out of reach for almost 80% of all gamers out there.

The Asus is ~$4000
The Acer is ~$9000

And the Razer (still unknown, but speculation dictates) ~$8-12000

So all in all, you can buy a car for that money.

 

For productivity, that would be amazing. There are external portable monitors you can get but I've used them and they didn't really do it for me.
