Razer teases new Project Fiona device

News PC

"PC gaming on an all-new form factor".

Hardware specialist Razer has announced Project Fiona - a mysterious new product that promises "PC gaming on an all-new form factor".

A brief teaser trailer, which you can see below, shows clips of Assassin's Creed: Revelations and HAWX 2 but doesn't divulge any further details as to exactly what the system is.

The Verge speculates that Razer could be resurrecting its super-portable Switchblade gaming netbook first mooted at CES last year.

A full reveal is due on 10th January at this year's CES in Las Vegas.

Razer has one other major release on the horizon - its Blade gaming laptop, due out later this year.

Nah, they're building a PC inside one of those Tony Hawk Ride Skateboard controllers, either that or a DJ Hero Turntable Controller.

from the image around 0:20-21 and the fact they have a laptop out later this year.... could this be a tablet device?

To sum up this article "Something will be announced". Why announce announcements. Will people soon start announcing when announcements will be announced?

"You've got to infiltrate the R.A.Z.E.R. organisation, Bond, and neutralise the Project Fiona Device, before it destroys civilisation as we know it!"

Of course it's a tablet, they show it at the end and the contrast it with the iPad ad at the beginning

I do hope they call it Fiona. Will make such a nice change from all the aggressive naming we seem to get these days for hardware. Heh...hardware.

@Rusty_M So people know where/when to look at the new product. Surely you see that this is a better way of doing it? rather than just sticking something on a webpage randomly in the middle of the week and just hope people notice?

@dirtysteve It's like that old TV gameshow, Fear Factor, except with tax returns.

It absolutely kills on BBC Four.

Ugh Razer no matter what you do your reputation with middle-class gamers will know you as the company that prefers the rich.

Funny for a company with branding trying so hard to be edgy, dangerous and evil to name a project "Fiona".

Or maybe it is just a little box with only DC, HDMI, Ethernet and a few USB ports in the back, sorta like Apple TV, but capable of playing PC games on a HD TV? As small and silent as possible.... that would work for my living room. I don't need another laptop, but a Win7 device like that would be interesting.

Say what you will but i love Razer hardware. My Mamba has to be the best mouse i've ever used even better than the Boomslang i had several years before it.
