This is the Razer Switchblade, currently an âinnovative concept designâ for a portable laptop computer with a customizable keyboard and touchscreen interface, a device that promises a âfull desktop experience in a netbook sized solution.â World of Warcraft on-the-go, anyone?
Thatâs one of the ways that Razer is pitching the Switchblade concept, as well as a device that could play Quake Live, with customized keys for game-specific actions. Razer says theyâre âreplacing the traditional mouse and keyboard interface with an ultra-sensitive multi-touch screen, dynamic tactile keyboard, and an intelligent user interface that adjusts the configuration and key layout on-the-fly based on game content and user requirements.â
As one can see in the gallery of concept shots below, the Razer Switchblade is a tiny little thing. Looks playable enough, but since this is a concept, weâll have to wait until thereâs something tangible to play with to see if the Switchblade is a good PC gaming option.
Weâll be visiting Razer at this weekâs CES to learn more about the Switchblade and everything else the company has for PC gamers.
