Perhaps the most well known for their multiple gaming peripherals with names, dramatic, Razer has just made a huge step in PC hardware space. It was announced today at PAX Prime, Razer's new blade gaming laptop packs a lot of gaming horsepower aluminum body, which is less than an inch thick.

As you can imagine from a company so strongly focused on better gaming experience, the blade does not skimp on components. 2.8 Ghz Intel Core i7 processor powers it all with 8 GB of RAM, 2 GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 555 m video card, and 17-inch LED-backlit display to round out the package.

Experienced PC Gamer may scoff — they've seen their fair share of gaming laptops, after all — but adding Razer Switchblade game UI to take the blade beyond regular gaming machine. First seen in the ambitious concept video in January this year, the Switchblade is now in the space to the right of the keyboard of the blade. Set of 10 "dynamic Adaptive tactile keys provide quick access to commands in the game, which change depending on what you are playing. Lower than two function LCD that displays relevant information about the game, when the mouse is used and becomes a multi-touch trackpad, when one is not.

Razer touting the blade as the first "true" gaming laptop in the world, and although I'm not buying this distinction, this particular machine, which of course does not make any compromises. Equipment and design are totally on point and a price tag of $ 2800 during the auction, this is the kind of machine, most players will only dream about.

Clearwire takes LTE, not only is Ditching WiMax

Wow. Clearwire just dropped a bombshell today, so I'll spare you my usual theatrics: operators of the nation's first 4 G network, felt the momentum picks up his rival LTE, announced that they will add "Advanced LTE technology ready" his service only previously WiMax 4 G.

Of course Clearwire quick to reaffirm their commitment to their existing WiMax network (and customers), but with Clearwire CTO Dr. John saw referring to them as "the future of LTE Mobile Broadband," one can certainly smell the change in the air.

It is expected that the introduction of LTE center around major urban areas in their existing markets for WiMax, in an attempt to meet the high demand for 4 G services.

Don't expect their LTE victims to go live soon, though: they are still awaiting some much need for funding before their execution plans will be crowned with success. I hope this will happen sooner rather than later — with LTE advanced peak potentially mobile download speeds of at least 100 Mbit/s, should be able to satiate even hungry fiends data whenever it lights up.

It's definitely a big (and potentially very profitable) leap for Clearwire. They partner Sprint booth to pick up quite a bit of market share by offering more competitive 4 G performance, all while flying under the motto "the nation's first 4 G network. The fact that the same branding 4 G will continue for the foreseeable future, actually strikes at the heart of the deep question: is it really important if LTE better than WiMax? Most of the clients, how I love them, see 4 G and click question any of the rest of us nerds network will continue to argue about real v. declared data speed, while Mr. Joe On the go-to gain all the same.
