Razer Edge gaming tablet starts at $1,000

What if something like this becomes the standard? Would there be any need for a console anymore? I mean if the price was to drop too this would end up being the standard, right?

this is the one and only tablet i would ever consider

Many people seem to miss the point of this super gaming tablet...

It has better specs than $1000+ Ultrabooks which doesn't even have descrete GPUs  and touchscreens.

WOW... it hasn't even come out yet and its already a comercial flop

Would definitely like to own one.... but never will.... not at those crazy prices!

I don't know. The thing works as a tablet, console, handheld console, and a laptop all while being pretty powerful for it's shape and size. I fail to see how it's incredibly overpriced as people proclaim. 

Price it like the Vita if you really want to sell it...Wait no...

LOL , 1000$ !?!?

B*tch ain't nobody got money fo dat !  Seriously i would rather buy a bad ass laptop or PC.

I really like to see this, I really do. But I think Razer needs a reality check. When I am gaming with my none Razer gear and I need to go do a chore. Like getting groceries that keep me from starving. I am sure as hell not gonna pick up this and play it while I am driving to the supermarket even though there probarly aren't any regulations in my countries against gaming while driving. Or playing it while I am in line at the supermarket, think I am nerdie enouch. And I am sure as hell not spending $1000 on something like this.

However this is a interresting development, being able to run a PC version of Windows 8.

I dont get it... instead of marketing it as a gaming tablet, Windows should just call it an Xbox Portable or something so it attracts more customers. I really don't see people buying a tablet specifically for gaming at that price to play something like Angry Birds. Call me ignorant but this is how I feel.

lol, ppl always complaining about price. If it were any cheaper, it would be built with crap materials, cheap and underdeveloped technology thus, not making it the product is it. Yet, they'll probably buy an apple product without hesitation. You get what you pay for. The $1000 starting point for essentially a i5 gaming pc/tablet with an ssd, 4 gigs and dedicated gpu is not a bad price im sorry. Now, the $250 controller accessory is a different story...

I mean i understand that its pricey and stuff. But some people actualy love this so stop hating the idea its great. Just because you cant afford it doesnt mean it sucks ass, I see a watch which is like 5000 dollars i dont go like fuck that its bad...

at that price, id rather just get a desktop

good & pricey toy

window 8 , no thank you

Would make more sense getting a gaming laptop. Or really a nice laptop at $800+.

Dudes.. those specs are reasonably unbelievable :P The price seems justified. Its a sodding TABLET

I think most of the people posting here don't realize what this "thing" is. It's a full fledged PC, not a handheld or a tablet. Check prices for similar items (Asus Eee Slate and such), 1000$ is not that much considering what it is.

A laptop with that stuff inside costs 40% less, but this thing is truly "handheld", with touchscreen, force feedback and so on.

The specs are fine cos the display is small. The base model would surely suck with a Dell2711, but we are talking about a 10.1'' monitor and not a 27'' one.

2 doubts, the first is about how comfortable is to play for hours with this thing, since it surely weights more than a 3DS or a Vita. The second... battery life, those things (tablet-like PCs) never shone for being fit for long sessions.

Rest assured that it's a joke to compare this ""tablet"" to Ipad or Galaxy tab, price wise and performance wise.

Proof that the economy has fully recovered!

wow...they wanted feed back and they are sure getting it. All negative because of the price. I can see why it is expensive. it's basically a touch screen computer. not a basic Tablet that is good for browsing and some crap games. it has all the inputs and out puts touch  etc plus it has vibration and proper control sticks. it makes sense but in order to sell that they will have to make it about 500 bucks.

Bixby Snyder: "I'd buy that for a dollar!"

Scantily clad women: "It costs a grand."

Bixby Synder: "F*CK THAT!"

While I think the specs on this are a little underwhelming currently and the price is about $200 too high, I actually think this could be an awesome machine. Hopefully when the next version of the Edge Pro is released, it will have a 1080p screen, have something at least equivalent to a nVidia GT650m, and include the keyboard dock for $1200. 

i7, GTX660, 8GB RAM, 500GB SSD would, albeit just barely, justify its price. This setup is laughable.

This thing makes the PS Vita feel a lot more affordable now.

AAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

250$ for the controller? LOLOLOLOL

(According to the video) How exactly do you transfer game save from PC to that tablet?

not even 10k units will be shipped

And this is why I don't play computer games.

What a bargain!

no. $1000. probably £899. no. 

Lol $1000. That's about how much i'll spend on all consoles the entire next gen

$1000 ???
 GFYS!

kind of looks like they super glued some move navigation controllers on the sides.....at least they found a good use for them.....lol
