hi I'm Scott Stein at CES 2013 now gaming has become a surprising theme of this show and razors here showing off a final development of something that we'd seen a bit of last year in something called Project Fiona this is a Windows 8 gaming tablet called the razor edge it has a 10 inch screen it has nvidia geforce 640 m le graphics and it starts as low as 999 it's going to be available starting q1 of this year what's really interesting about this is not just that as the gaming punch but the fact this has a wide variety of connected peripherals you've got a gamepad that's available in a bundle up to 14 99 for this edition which has you know really console like controllers here and analog pads and feels like a handheld you've also got a future forthcoming keyboard peripheral and now the razor edge is not just a gaming tablet it's really being looked at as a connected console and the dock connection accessory makes it so you can connect it to your TV output to resolutions up to 720p and it's got hdmi and connects up to two controllers so you can play splitscreen gaming in your home or even use it to stream movies to your TV a really versatile device plus there's an extended battery pack if you want it all sorts of different gaming modes now this show you're definitely looking at stuff that's beginning to look at where the future of gaming lies what's nice about the razor edge is it's ready to go right now with PC gaming really all of these modes don't require any sort of future SDKs or future developments it's a it's a ready to go tablet and it's really not priced all that high compared to what you'd expect for a device that's crowdsourcing is kind of almost an experimental device I'm Scott Steiner tha's a look at the razor edge gaming tablet at CES 2013 so I rich brown I'm here talking about the pc gaming aspects of the razor edge now you can see from the set up here looks a lot like a desktop setup there's a keyboard mouse the screen is maybe a little smaller than you might be used to in a traditional desktop arrangement but you can always output this system to a higher resolution it'll go all the way up to 1920 x 1080 another thing you have to really worry about is that the higher the resolution the lower potentially the performance the razor did let us look at the options for dishonored and it's set up at 13 by 7 on the screen that's a native resolution but it really looks great it plays smooth if you were to go bigger I don't think it would suffer that much of a performance hit so this is definitely tableau a bunch of different ways you can use it what's pretty encouraging for PC gamers is that you can in fact use this as a desktop PC it'll take a little getting used to probably but it's really not a bad setup so Irish brown that was Scott's done we're here at CES and this is the razor edge
