"Razer."
Never understood why they spelled it that way.

When a gaming tablet can beat my dual 27" monitors for gaming beauty, I will be the first in line.

I own a tablet and a PC. Both fulfill very different purposes and i don't see how a gaming tablet would be of use to me.

This is how the failure of a so-called gaming tablet starts.

Because "Razer" isn't a real word and can thus be easily trademarked?

"...tablet that gets about 3 hours of battery life during normal use and half that while playing demanding PC games."

"the first tablet of its type that’s actually capable of playing many of the latest PC games with graphics quality set to medium."

Am I the only one that finds tablets/touch screens gimmicky and annoying ? Do something original and also windows 8 is horrible.

$999+ for a glorified iPad. I don't see a purpose for that device and it just looks plain awkward to handle. It doesn't look any more portable than a laptop, with weak specs and low resolution. I do like Razer products but this seems like another one of their luxury gaming items marketed toward wealthy customers looking to show off a new device. My 2-3 year old laptop has better specs and its price was roughly the same. I believe tablet gaming is meant for app stores and games ranging in quality from Angry Birds to Infinity Blade and file sizes/performance demands kept relatively low. Leave the more demanding games to laptops/PCs and consoles.

The first time I hear someone in local brag about owning one of these..I will grief them to the point that when I relieve them of their ship..they mysteriously DC. I will then laugh hysterically because besides the hull and pod, i will have blapped a 1000$ glorified iPad too.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

On the positive side:
A lot of PC games are simply console ports, so the razer table with its integrated controllers should work...

On a super positive note:
Given that the PS4 is a PC, this tablet is going to be subject to all kinds of amusing lawsuits when someone writes a PS4 emulator...

You always hated Personal Computer computers?

Think about how stupid it was of you to say that.

Anyway, tablets will never live up to the standards of a PC.
