The Consumer Electronic Show (CES) 2013 began on Tuesday, January 8th and ends on Friday January 11th in Las Vegas, NV. There are so many articles being written as I am writing this one, so I will only cover a few of them but will link you to some great websites for more information because there is so much to share its exciting!

This is the new Razer Edge PC gaming tablet! Formerly known as Project Fiona, it is a 10.1-inch tablet running Windows 8, Intel Core i5 or i7 processor, internal storage up to 256GB;and Nvidia GeForce GT640M LE graphics. This little beast looks like just a tablet but this powerful Edge has the muscle of a high-powered gaming ultrabook/Laptop.
The Edge can transform into a few different modes: a handheld dual-controller case, adding gaming console-like buttons and sticks that makes the Edge a large gaming handheld. There is also a dock that offers external HDMI and USB connectors to plug into a TV and add additional gaming controllers, for two-player simultaneous gaming. The dock can be used with a larger-screen monitor or TV, or as a standalone device.

There is also a keyboard accessory and both the keyboard and the game pad accessories support a removable battery that doubles the life of the Edge. Razer estimates the Edge has 2 hours of power during general tablet use, and around 1 hour when you're playing games. Now as a gamer myself that is too little of a battery life, but there are few out there that can use this tablet for their liking. There are different modes to use the Edge but its all depending on the accessories you will use.

The Edge costs $999 in its base configuration with a Core i5 chip, 4GB of RAM, and a 64GB solid-state hard drive.
The $1,299 Edge Pro model will get a bump to Core i7, 8GB of memory, and either a 128GB or 256GB SSD. A $1,499 bundle includes the game pad case. Both models are available for purchase today from online retailers and Razer's web site here, but will be available starting Q1 of 2013. It's a bit pricey for the battery life but still I wanted to share this with you to see what is upcoming and looking like having some potential. If battery life was better I am certain this will do good.
