The most beautiful thing to come out of CES 2011? The show ain't over yet, but we're unafraid to say that Razer's Switchblade is the device to beat. Before you go getting your hopes up, we have to (regretfully) point out that this here gaming handheld is but a concept, but considering that Toshiba's Libretto W105 made it to store shelves (if but for a moment), we're hoping and praying that the Switchblade can also find its way to a production line. Little is known about the device itself, but Razer has imagined it using a pair of 7-inch multitouch displays as well as a layer of tactile, dynamic keys on the lower screen. Much like the Optimus Maximus of yesteryear, this keyboard would enable gamers to place different screens underneath depending on title, and even within a game, you could imagine the keys shifting to account for different POVs, levels, scenarios, etc. Internally, the concept is based around an Intel Atom processor, but there's no word on what kind of GPU would work alongside of it. Sadly, Razer's unwilling to talk pie-in-the-sky details when it comes to price and release, but if four million comments show up below begging and pleading for the company to take this commercial...

I thought it was neat & worth posting. I'm not entirely sold on it being used as a laptop but I must admit, I like the idea of that keyboard as a stand alone device. It makes me think it'd be kinda cool for games such as Starcraft 2, but that could just be because I'm a bad SC2 player.

Looks cool. Have to re-watch at home; can't listen to the audio here.

I saw some pictures and info on that a day or two ago, it looks cool, though I question how practical it would be, it's definitely to big to be "hand held" and touch screens in place of a mouse doesn't tend to translate well to any game not specifically designed for touchscreen use like smartphone games.

That concept of using an LCD screen with a button overlay however seems like a really good idea, like the Optimus keyboard but without the insanely high costs.
