Razer just won CES 2017 with a crazy Project Valerie three-screen laptop concept
Year in and year out, hundreds of thousands
of people travel to Las Vegas, and millions more follow the CES coverage of
news outlets, blogs and tech websites such as the one you’re currently reading
to check out both products they’ll be able to buy shortly after the show, and
crazy concept designs that are unlikely to sell in many units to a mainstream
audience.
While we may find plenty of prototypes in the
latter category that apparently don’t concern a mobile-focused readership, some
are just too unique and, well, insane to fly under our radar. Case in point,
what Razer tentatively calls Project Valerie.
An unusually heavy 17.3-inch gaming laptop on
the surface, Valerie slides out to reveal a pair of “secondary” screens using a
very cool automatic deployment mechanism to form the world’s first portable
multi-monitor setup.
Each of the three 4K IGZO panels measures the
aforementioned 17.3 inches, combining for a mind-boggling total resolution of
11,520 x 2,160, aka a 12K pixel count. Technically, this multitasker’s wet
dream tips the scales at a ridiculously hefty 12 pounds, but all things considered,
that’s not so bad. And even with all three displays folded on top of each
other, it’s not that much thicker than your average 17-inch gaming laptop, at
1.5 inches.
With high-end NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 graphics in tow, and unfortunately, the rest of the specs kept under wraps, the Razer Project Valerie promises to easily exceed HTC Vive and Oculus Rift’s minimum hardware requirements, no doubt delivering “one of the most immersive, mobile VR-ready” experiences for “enthusiasts and developers.”
