Razer, the company that not only does gaming peripherals (and they are pretty darn good at that, too), but also churns out a mean gaming tablet, has just announced the availability of Steam integration for the Razer Edge tablet. Yes sir, this would mean that the Razer Edge tablet will arrive with Steam software right out of the box for you to get started with no-frills gaming. Steam has been touted by many to be Valve’s industry-leading software, where it allows gamers worldwide to launch their games faster than ever before, helping cut down on loading times so that they can get to the core activity – that is, gaming, as soon as possible.
The Razer Edge has been specially optimized for demanding gameplay, and will play nice with Steam Big Picture without missing a beat. Steam offers more than 2,000 titles to the end user, and this unique combination of two powers will definitely help seal the deal, or perhaps give the much required push for fence sitters to finally make a purchase decision for the Razer Edge.

Portable gaming isn’t what it once was. Sure, you can still snag a handheld device from Sony or Nintendo, but today’s video game industry is far more diverse. Gamers on the go have no shortage of hardware to pick from: tablets, smartphones, gaming laptops and purpose-built handhelds are redefining what a mobile gaming platform is. Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan must have felt the winds of change blowing his way when he cooked up Project Fiona, now known as the Razer Edge. The company’s marketing material frames the curious device as an all-in-one gaming arsenal; it’s a tablet, says the product page, as well as a PC and console. Above all, it’s modular, a souped-up tablet with a small collection of docks and cradles designed to scratch your gaming itch from all angles. All told, Razer calls it the most powerful tablet in the world. Kitted out with the specs of a mid-range gaming laptop, it may very well be that — but we couldn’t let the proclamation pass without giving it the once-over ourselves.
A gaming laptop in a tablet. It’s a thought experiment that raises a whole host of questions: Is that even possible? Can it possibly be good? Would anyone even want it if it were? And finally: How much does it cost? The Razer Edge’s answers translate roughly to “Yes!”, “Sort of.”, “Maybe?”, and “Erm, you better sit down.” More »
Yes, we did bring you word earlier this morning that Crysis 3 for the Nintendo Wii U was very close to being launched, but what we are going to talk about today would be seeing Crysis 3 run on the Razer Edge. Yes sir, the Razer Edge, which was up for pre-order at the beginning of this month, has been spotted with Crysis 3 running on it, now how about that? This is one hardcore gaming title that most of the other Windows 8-powered tablets would not want to touch with a 10-foot pole simply because of the high end hardware requirements, but the Razer Edge seemed to be unperturbed.
Considering how the Razer Edge is equipped with a Core i5 processor, 4GB RAM and the NVIDIA GT640M LE graphics chipset, with its “Pro” version sporting an Intel Core i7 processor and 8GB RAM, you would definitely know what kind of configuration your next desktop PC needs if you are currently in the market for an upgrade so that you can get some sweet gaming into your timetable. Question is, would you fork out more than $1,000 for the Razer Edge, bells and whistles included, or settle for a gaming notebook instead?

Boy, how time flies when you are having fun – or not. I digress, it was just last month in Las Vegas, Nevada, when the folks over at Razer took the opportunity to announce that they have successfully put together all the best elements possible of a gaming notebook/tablet, taking input from hardcore gamers who know best what they want, and asking the engineering team to conjure a miracle, resulting in the announcement of the Razer Edge. Well, we did take a good look at its specifications back then, but there is no harm in going through the list again considering how Razer has just placed the Razer Edge on pre-order from March 1st, and shipping it set to commence sometime later in the same month. It is definitely going to be an interesting gaming spring and summer, for sure!
Razer did say that all purchased units during the pre-order period will be shipped to consumers later that very same month, and we do wonder whether there will be enough supply to keep up with voracious demand, assuming that happens, of course. The Razer Edge is touted to be the most powerful tablet in the world, and before it is even released to the mass market, you might be interested to know that it has already picked up its fair share of awards, having swept eight gongs at the 2013 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), where among them include CNET’s “Best of Show” award.
Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder, CEO and creative director, had this to add about the Razer Edge, “The Razer Edge combines the features of full-functioning PCs, touch-enabled tablets and gaming consoles into one incredible, portable form factor. Furthermore, the Razer Edge’s powerful chipset, unique among all tablet computers, ensures that you can take advantage of the world’s most sophisticated games, programs and apps on these multiple platforms anytime.”
The Razer Edge will be powered by an Intel i5 processor and have a 64GB SSD, while the Razer Edge Pro sports an Intel i7 processor with an option for a 128GB or 256GB SSD. Its gamepad controller, home console dock and extended battery accessories will also be up for pre-order at the same time, although the optional keyboard dock is due for a launch in Q3 later this year. Prices for the Razer Edge begins at $999 and goes north from there.
