Are You Interested in Razer’s Project Fiona?

Razer revealed “Project Fiona” at CES 2012 — a high-end gaming tablet featuring an Intel i7 processor and Windows 8. This isn’t your typical tablet; it doesn’t use an efficient mobile processor and doesn’t play relatively small apps. This is a powerful machine that plays gamepad-enable PC games out of the box. Check out my article on Project Fiona at Padvance if you have a chance. I’m super curious to hear if this product interests you. Please let me know!

  1. Yeah it's just too big (insert joke here). I can't imagine walking or playing this on a train or plane without looking like an idiot.

  2. I agree with Tokz and think this thing is a bit bulky to be conveniently portable, and I probably wouldn't buy it, but yeah, I'd hit that.

    1. It's definitely big, but it was much lighter than I expected it to be. The performance was really sweet too, but I wonder about heat after lengthy gameplay sessions. It got hot after five minutes of Space Marines.

  3. Hey guys! I'm at LAS airport off to SFO then LAX. Here are some hands-on impressions of Project Fiona: http://bit.ly/AbQJUR

    Very, very impressive. Build quality is nice, the UI is simply, and the gaming performance is hot. I'm still not sure hardcore PC gamers want something like this, but I love that Razer is making it. Check out the impressions when you have a chance and let me know if you have any questions about my time with Project Fiona.

  4. I just have never found myself thinking that touch or motion would be a great mechanic in my pc games. Honestly touch is fine for puzzle games but anything requiring more than puzzle interaction obscures the content. I loved Skyward Sword but found the motion to be a real pain the ass for timing and some precision puzzles. The worst is when you must do something VERY quickly.

    I don't see a 1k tablet with odd inputs hanging from either side changing my mind.

    A mouse and keyboard are great inputs for lots of games, as is a controller. Touch and motion just aren't relaxing.

    1. It will flop. A laptop with a gamepad is just as portable seeing as how both will go in a bag not too mention the need for AC power.Sent from my iPhone 4

      1. That's a fair prediction. I'm curious to see which i7 and which GPU will go into the final production model that will retail "for less than $1,000". I do have some follow-up questions for Razer and I'm curious to hear the answers.
