hey guys to play with the verge here at CES 2013 and we'll take it and look at the brand new Razer edge as you can see from these big gamepad controllers on the side this is a gaming centric device but underneath it you're just looking at a Windows 8 PC this is a 10.1 inch Windows 8 tablet it runs into a core i5 core i7 Ivy Bridge processor but it comes with all of these crazy attachments so actually just looking at the tablet itself it's quite a chunky device but you know it is running a full-sized intership x86 chip in here it's running Windows 8 as you can see this particular tablet is running civilization we've got this honored over here and you just get into it it's also quite hefty and quite heavy this particular gamepad attachment includes a battery extra battery so there it is there's a battery in here there are vents up up at the top and you got all the input ports line up edits up again the controller itself it has Geo analog sticks got a digital pad got the usual action controls and then select and start buttons it does feel quite a hefty quite heavy engine in the hand it also feels reassuring it all feels quite solidly built so you can get this gamepad controller for 249 the entry level for the Razer edge itself is $9.99 with a core i5 processor 6 4 gigabytes of storage and it goes up to $14.99 when you decide to include a core i7 and more storage 128 gigabytes or 256 gigabytes of storage you can get it with 4 gigabytes on the edge or the CH pro version which is top price with 8 gigabytes of RAM so we'll try and they're a little bit of civilization here so the framerate is extremely smooth there's an NVIDIA GPU in here mobile GPU and I'm getting a bunch of tips here in Civilization but the game is looking good the displays looking good it's a 1366 by 768 resolution 10.1 inches and responsiveness seems to be extremely smooth as I say this runs the full version of Windows 8 I would need to exit the windows just to demonstrate that so here's steam I can switch it over to the modern UI look and back to the desktop as well and what you're going to take a look at the two other Hardware accessories that razor is debiting here there's this keyboard dock over here which opens up and closes like so this is a prototype so we don't know that this extra band is going to do with it but if it is it wraps around like so to keep the tablet together with the keyboard again it makes for something quite chunky seems like a retro 90s laptop but you do once again get an extra battery inside it and you do get fully fleshed-out keyboard that you can use with the Razer edge and there's also this docking station it will cost $99 and it should be available in the first quarter of 2013 which is when we can expect the whole razor-edge land to come out apart from the keyboard which is expected in the quarter 3 for 2013
