How Razer proves PC gaming isn't dead

Razer sets out to prove PC gaming isn't dead.... with a gaming laptop.

Now i won't lie, it looks like a pretty cool laptop from a gaming perspective. Aside from a missing optical drive of course.

Specs:
Intel Core i7-2640M (dual core) 2.8Ghz/3.5Ghz [base/turbo]
8GBs 1333Mhz DRR3
17.3" screen (1080p)
Nvidia GT 555M 2GB
Built-in webcam
320GB 7200rpm HDD
1 x 3.0 USB
2 x 2.0 USB
3.5 audio microphone jack
HDMI connector
Ethernet port
60Wh Battery
Wifi
Blutooth 3.0


Price: $2,800


Conclusions: This doesn't prove PC gaming isn't dead (despite it not being dead anyways), nor does it change anything. But it's a nice laptop if you can afford it and still bear the lack of a disk drive. I would have been more impressed with a $600-700 gaming desktop.

For a $2800 laptop, a GT555M is shameful.

laptops are always going to be expensive, especially ridiculously powerful ones.

everything has to be made small and that costs money, especially if you want to keep the gaming power.

building your own desktop is still the best advert for pc gaming. :)

old new is old

And you would pay $2800 for a laptop? I guess it's your money.. all I can say is, what a waste

old new is old

Well that's not something I would buy. Ever.

Dumbest marketing i've seen so far.

For those 2800 I would rather buy a desktop PC ... one hell of a desktop PC even:lol:

For 2800 $ you can buy a desktop equiped with a 30" 2560 x 1600 display and with a GXT 580 as GPU and a i7 black series CPU instead of that crap, to be honest.

in Germany you can configure one for much cheaper i think :

old old old and stupid. All razer proves is that i can get 3 rigs that can run anything i throw at them for the price of 1 razer. /threadbluetadomonk

for 2800 I could build three kickass dekstops :P

Yeah, that was pretty embarassing from Razer :lol:

i never really liked playing on laptops, nothing can compare to the horse power of a decent desktop gaming pc

Gaming laptops are such a waste and never worth it (unless you have unlimited income I suppose). I built my computer over 2.5 years ago for $900 and it still runs nearly every new game at max settings.

Pinkybinds are thrown out the window if you use the default controls. I usually bind at least 3-4 commands per game to my pinky.

They should've made an affordable gaming laptop instead. Like, the everyman's gaming laptop. For people who game on laptops.. whoever those strange people are.

The main thing Razor managed to achieve with all that proof of PC gaming isnt dead PR, is to spark up consoleites with the PC gaming is dying trend again.

That's a big waste of money. I mean an m11x can be had for under $1,000 and is far more mobile than their laptop. And laptop hardware goes down in price even faster than desktop hardware, a similar laptop will be had for a thousand less in like 3 years.

Wow... all that for $2800? Is this some sort of joke? Is this when the clown jumps out of the cake?Elann2008

no doubt the machine is awesome but $2700 for it won't be a smart move.

A laptop in no way can compete with the joy and comfort you get with a desktop for gaming.

Pc gaming is't dead yet, instead it rulz.

Damn near $3000. This is not helping pc gaming in the slightest, nor will it help razer, I actually see Razer losing a lot of money on this dumb move!

I cant help but look at that and think "Hmm, that is seven months worth ofrent"

As far as Razer trying to establish a stronger brand recognition, I'd say it's a bold attempt. Unfortunately, price is out of touch with reality, and the single most important component (GPU) is sorely lacking considering the outrageous pricing.SteelAttack

As is the dual-core processor. $2800 for that GPU and a dual-core CPU is robbery.
