Razer Introduces Switchblade -The Ultimate Mobile Gaming PC?
Many are already familiar with Razer, from high-end mice to the motion controller for PC.
They’ve introduced the Razer Switchblade at CES 2011, heralding it as a revolution in (mobile) PC gaming. Put simply think of it as a handheld gaming PC with an Intel Atom processor.
The Switchblade has Windows 7 but comes with Razer’s own UI overlay that has been built primarily with gaming in mind. It’s fairly small, coming with a 7 inch touch screen that Razer hopes will be a replacement for mouse/trackpad.
But the standout feature is the adaptive keyboard. See, it doesn’t feature fixed buttons. All the keys are LCD lit and change their configuration based on the game you’re playing. Launch a shooter for example, and the keyboard immediately changes to a WASD configuration. If you fancy some World of Warcraft, they keyboard will switch to include your skills and spells, complete with corresponding logos. Neat.
No word on a release date.

Jan 10th, 2011 at 10:01 pm
@x360assasin
Thanks. Now fixed.
@rizwan and Lambent Effect
In case you guys didn’t know, most readers are having their A2 exams this January. Also, I try to spend most of my free time writing on Gamersworldbd, and lately I’ve been getting busy. 🙁
Don’t know about others but I guess fahim_sinister left because some of his articles weren’t up to the mark.
Also you don’t see many new users leaving comments is because you have to sign up for a Gamersworldbd account (and most ppl are lazy or don’t feel like they have much to say). Although comments may be few and far between, but site traffic is beyond my expectations with over 110,000 readers in last month alone.

Jan 10th, 2011 at 11:00 pm

Jan 10th, 2011 at 11:41 pm
@rizwan
I miss Fahim,Rabbi,xlivnt and the others too 😥 and about the articles as you can see, the gaming industry isn’t very active this time of year(December-January) so I hope the pace will pick up in the next few weeks
@The Gaming Wiz
If Fahim lost his job, that doesn’t mean he’ll stop commenting 😕
Jan 10th, 2011 at 11:46 pm
And as for me, HOLIDAYY!
I wish everyone good luck with their exams so they can get right back into the action! 😈
Jan 10th, 2011 at 11:47 pm
@rizwan
Acenovember has exams, he’ll return after Jan 20th. Nobody left, just Fahim I guess. Rabbi too got bogged down with studies. And yup, as GamerKid said, the gaming industry isn’t quite active this time of the year as major blockbusters released in the holiday season last year.
Jan 11th, 2011 at 12:26 am
@rizwan

Jan 15th, 2011 at 2:23 am
@fahim_sinister
let me get the gold membership first then i will let you know. And another thing i didnt had any option of free one month xbox live gold trial even plushgaming360 said that to me xbox live but i didnt get the option when i created the account it just says free membership and buy golds no trials maybe trials doesnt come with arcades 😕
Jan 15th, 2011 at 3:58 pm
@Rabbi
This is weird, as far as I know, whenever you create an live account you get a month free gold trial, it doesn’t matter whether your console is arcade. 😕
Maybe you weren’t online while creating that account?
Jan 15th, 2011 at 4:59 pm
@sng425
i didnt create any account until i was online. After getting online for the first time i had the kinect dash still it updated something took a while. Then when i created the account it just asked for the mail address and the passworld and the other info. After this the account was created and inside the avatar menu there was something called manage account after that i went to change the given free membership to trial but i only get 1 month and 12 month memberships as possible options which wanted MS Points btw. And for the moment my account is tagged as free membership. I think Microsoft tweaked that gold trial option with the new kinect dash so there wasnt any possibilities to enable that.

Looks like someone is selling Alienware M11x on ClickBD, price seems to be awesome

Jan 15th, 2011 at 5:52 pm
we should all GTA 4………muahhahaha…add me up , i got 2 gamertags
tobrolivnt and
somaticflunky5
i made another just to get the free 1 month gold…hehehe..:)
@fahim_sinister,
you rarely come online man, do you have another gamertag that you use with your unmodded xbox 360.
@Rabbi,
You can still get 1 month xbox live trial in the Kinect Dashboard, but this offer is limited to three accounts. The first three accounts on your console will get 1 month trial..When they ask you to upgrade to gold ignore it and then they’ll offer you 1 month trial gold, or maybe some used your 1 month trials?!?! I guess not.
Jan 15th, 2011 at 7:26 pm
@xlivnt
the thing is they didnt ask me to upgrade to gold 🙄 anyway i accepted ur friend request on live. And I will get live gold soon 😉
Jan 15th, 2011 at 7:38 pm
but it popped up something like a age restriction and needed a parent account so i had to use one of my other mails and verify it 😕
Jan 16th, 2011 at 2:12 am
I guess the age restriction thing messed it up..anyways get GOLD soon, i’m gonna get mine soon too..cause i dont like using the second account.
