Razer, a gaming peripherals company, designs and manufactures gaming mice, keyboards, and other gaming devices. The Switchblade, still officially a concept, is a Windows 7 mini netbook with a twist. It has a seven inch capacitive touchscreen, an Intel Atom processor, and a really cool keyboard.
The keyboard, instead of having the regular, QWERTY layout, has keys which will automatically switch what they show based on the game that you are playing. For example, when playing World of Warcraft, instead of seeing the QWERTY keyboard keys, you will see icons for the different actions you can do.
The technology behind the customizable keyboard is just a crisp screen and transparent keys, but this keyboard really seems high tech and very cool.
A few questions that, since this is a concept device, have not yet been answered. How will the Switchblade decide what the icons for each game are? How will it work without a mouse pad? Also, the pricing point is not specified yet, so we don't know whether or not it will be worth it.
Ultimately, this seems really cool, and if you just happen to be in the market for a seven inch gaming netbook, you might want to wait for the Razer Switchblade to (eventually) come out. For now, we don't know when this will come out or how much it will cost, so I would recommended just purchasing a regular PC.
