The perfect mobile way to Play WOW! Razer Switchblade

Some time ago I did 2 YouTube Videos showing World of Warcraft running on a 6" PC the OQO you can see part 1 here and part 2 here . I'm at CES this week and I stopped in to have a chat to the guys at Razer. Sanjeev from Razer gave the the run down on there new Switchblade a new 9" Mini Note book made for PC gamers! When I first looked at the OQO Running wow the big letdown was the interface Razer have fixed all that with a keyboard that changes depending on what game u play! and let me tell you the WoW interface was sweet it was set up for a hunter (the class I play most) and let me yell you its going to change the way we play PC games! Razer hired the guys that developed that first OQO that I showed in my video to develop the Switchblade, With a teem of hardcore gamers and the guys that made the OQO working on this baby we are in for a treat!




From Razer:

Today, Razer made history and changed the world forever at CES Vegas by launching the Razer Switchblade. The Razer SwitchBlade is a portable PC gaming device that will be the first concept under our new Systems Category and is a landmark in the history of Razer. We are no long just a peripheral brand.




With its innovative tactile keyboard and a multitouch screen, the Razer Switchblade brings the full keyboard and mouse experience to a portable form factor. Check out the attached image for what's to come, although to get a better idea of what this is all about, check out this video about the Razer SwitchBlade.

We never stop looking for ways to get the edge and we never stop innovating. Where others seen problems and barriers, we see challenges our engineers have yet to be unleashed upon. PC gaming has always been locked to a desktop environment. Never has anyone been able to replicate the usability of a mouse and keyboard interface on the go. It wasn’t that it was impossible anyway.


Success is in our blood. The Razer Switchblade Concept carries that tradition forward.


Our Razer designers and engineers built the Razer Switchblade concept focusing on enhancing PC gaming on a handheld device. The dynamic keyboard and the multi touch interface are the linchpins that give this portable gaming device the ability to play on the go without sacrificing precision and control. We’ve changed the game, and this is only the beginning. You can see more at www.razerzone.com/switchblade
