Switchblade by Razor

Razor is making a new Netbook called the Switchblade. It is a mobile gaming netbook that can change its keyboard to fit the user game. Watch the video, its really cool.

(might go to Tech Talk, but its for gaming also.)

I can see that playing an FPS on that will be difficult.

Ya. I'm a little wary of how well it would play. I mean, it doesn't have a mouse for one thing. You would have to get used to that. It does have all the controls right there which I think is pretty cool. Also how the keyboards change if you need them. Still, I wouldn't try to talk to someone else unless it was on a mic rather than through typing if I was busy. Looks like a great idea and it has a cool design, but I personally would stick with my desktop.

It looked like it had a usb port for a mouse.

moved to tech talk

and ranging.. i just made a thread on this >.<

Razor is known for making computer hardware designed for gamers. but also keep in mind, that so called edge comes with a price. a regular mouse made by their company can easily be equal to $80. and with how small that laptop will be, the price of this will be insane.

well nobody in their right mind who plays PC would use the touchpad. we all use a mouse. so just plug one in.

Even so, the small screen and cramped resolution will make precision shots difficult.

that i agree, would never buy it cuz the screen is way too small. i prefer at least 15.6 for lappy. and i think the resolution would be good or decent, considering how much this thing would cost if they went cheap on the screen they would just be foolish.
