With this...
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/34295razerblade.png)
You may remember it as the "Switchblade" from CES... but there are a few main differences.
-NVIDIA got on board with the graphics (Essential)
-Intel went from an Atom Processor to the Second Gen Core i7 Sandy Bridge Processor (Another Essential Change)
-Is now less than a inch thick (Awesome)
-The Keyboard was changed from an Optimus Maximus style keyboard to a Backlit keyboard with 8 programmable LCD Backlit Shortcut Keys
-The Touchpad is also a second 800X480 Pixel Multitouch Display (WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!)
-They bumped the display from 7 inches to 17.3 inches (I am kinda bummed about this one, since I wanted a budget-ish device)
-Under 7 Pounds
Other things include...
-USB 3.0
-Switch Blade UI overlay to Windows 7 (Awesome Enhancements)
-No more tacky touch screen monitor (Glad to see that gone
- A $2799 Pricetag
I personally LOVE Razer's products, I use their Onza Xbox Controller, their Mamba Mouse, their Chimaera 5.1 headset (way better than Turtle Beaches), and their Lycosa Keyboard. All great quality products. The price is just too steep and I also believe that they should of went with the Netbook form factor to make it more different and alot less pricey for the consumer. All in all, this is a dream that I won't be getting... sadly.

Only turn-off.

Razer usually has great prices for their products. But in the Gaming Computer business, it is very notorious for heavy price tags. I'd recommend building your own computer. Mine costs around 900 dollars and it is wrecking benchmarks... also is future proof (can upgrade internals easily)

Too lazy/don't got the time. I'll just keep my piece of sh*t Vista. (haaaaaaaaaate)

Just a note:
The keyboard will be released as its own entity when The Old Republic comes out later this year. The cost of it is $200, which is amongst the priciest keyboards I have ever heard of (and apparently, only ~10-15 Cherry keyboards and the Optimus Maximus are pricier).
-
wait.. Team Razer is making PC's now? Of course it's 2,800 if it's as epic as Razer was

lol was going to make a robot reference but Badnik beat me :P

I just heard they have a built in anti virus.Razer anti malware and Venom trojan and viruses detection.

Does that mean it's worth the $2800?

Well, the Razer has had its share of reliability issues. Nevertheless, the critics couldn't stop praising its design, and It's done well on an international scale. The Razer really found its stride in the 5th and 6th generation. But though it now seems unbeatable, it never could one-up a certain PC.

Your sarcasm detector is broken.

Update!
A Q&A Session proves the absence of an Optical Drive, so Steam or GTFO

So do I :trollface

Unfunny joke inbound!
I will definitely not get it, though. Too expensive, and I have already bought a lot of things, not to mention I already have a gaming PC.

I agree, you can't ignore the fact that the Razer was always bested by a certain PC.

You can make a custom built PC for a lower price.

Also, I should really have understood that. More RA2wiki lurking is needed.

I heard that razer note is somewhere around 400$ in japan.

My PC costs around 900 dollars (got it for around 700 dollars because it was built with used parts) and it's future proof for same reason.

Mine cost $250. Plays any game I need it to flawlessly. I didn't built it myself, but rather had it built to the specs I wanted by a friend. Only problem I have found is that the front headphone and microphone jacks don't work, but it's not a huge issue, just an annoyance at times. Also future-proof.

At least, until the future makes PCs as we know them entirely obsolete.

honestly the only thing holding smart phones/smaller alternatives to computers back from RULING ZE WORLD making comps (i.e. like razer and all overpriced "gaming pcs") obsolete is the limited life battery, the same applies for laptops replacing desktops... someone just needs to make a smart phone that operates with a batt and solar power/some other renewable source
so yeah that might be soon

That
laptop thingy Gaming Notebook looks cool, but i don't need it.
-
I still love my old laptop, if for no other reason than EA told me its impossible and won't give me support for it... lol
EDIT: And it still runs pretty much anything just fine after all these years.
