The Razer Switchblade is a concept design of a portable gaming device developed by Razer. It was first unveiled on January 5, 2011 at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). The Switchblade won The Best of CES 2011 People's Voice award.
The Switchblade's main goal is to provide gamers with the functionality of a Windows computer, combined with the portability of a handheld device. It features a multitouch LCD screen and an adaptive keyboard that changes keys depending on the game being played.
In 2009, Razer sec hired a team of engineers who used to work for Apple, HP, and Dell. They started a project, codenamed the "Switchblade", which is a portable gaming device that "would revolutionize the future of gaming". When asked about the development of the Switchblade, Razer's CEO, Min-Liang Tan, believed that the development of the Switchblade started from a small gaming peripheral company, into a well-known corporation that would develop the first full portable PC gaming console. He said "Razer isn’t just about bringing innovation to the PC, but creating products that will change the future of gaming. The Razer Switchblade is one such product."
Although the current development of the Switchblade hinted that it might be priced about 250-600 Dollars, Razer says that the final product might not look anything like its current prototype.
The Razer Switchblade has a traditional netbook form factor. When compared to a standard Nintendo DS the Switchblade's dimensions are only slightly larger. When the lid is folded, the Switchblade is 172mm x 115mm x 25 mm. The Razer Switchblade is about 7mm thicker than the Macbook Air when folded. On the outside, the Switchblade is completely black except for the green Razer logo in the middle. The weight of the product is currently unknown to the public.
