The world’s first gaming tablet is upon us! Razer, who are primarily known for their PC gaming devices, have dubbed the tablet “Project Fiona”.
The tablet which houses an Intel Quad Core i7 Ivy Bridge processor is essentially a Windows-based tablet with two prongs on the side that act as the controllers. Each prong has an analogue stick, four buttons, a trigger, and shoulder buttons.
It’s clear that the tablet will appeal any hardcore gamer, like me, who wouldn’t be seen dead poking at an iPad or touch-screen tablet. So how does it shape up? Read on for the Project Fiona Price and Specs.
Razer Project Fiona Specs
From the videos I’ve seen, this thing seems to run games like Skyrim and Assassin’s Creed Revelations on the highest settings extremely well, and here’s why:
- Intel Core i7 CPU (Ivy-Bridge)
- Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound (THX certified)
- 10.1-inch 1280×800 Resolution Display
- SSD Storage at 250GB – 500GB
- WiFi (802.11 b,g,n)
- Bluetooth 3.0
- 3-Axis Gyro, Accelerometer, and Magnetometer
- Force Feedback
- 4GB – 8GB DDR3 RAM
There is a slight compromise though, its size. Due to the prongs on the side, it does make Project Fiona a little on the large side, which doesn’t deter me, but it might be something you’d want to consider.
Razer Project Fiona Price And Release Date
As Project Fiona wont be released until the last quarter of 2012, an official price has yet to be announced. However, Razer have said that they will price it at under $1,000 (£650). Razor have been known to overprice some of their products, but it should be safe to assume that they’ll try attempt to compete with the mid-range gaming latops.
If the specification are correct Fiona will not be under $1000 for sure
It might even not be THE ultimate gaming tablet
Thanks for your comment Eric.
As it stands at the moment, nothing else close to it has been unveiled
i agree that it is the cooliest
For what is inside there should be the possibility to remove the two controller and use it as a “normal” tablet with windows. Therefor it also should have at least 1 USB connector. thats what i think about it …. i just wait for a gaming tablet but it should also be used for normal work….
Yeah, absolutely! The prongs on the side do add quite a bit to to the size of the tablet, so it would make sense for them to be removable. Hopefully Razer implement it in the final product.
I was actually thinking about getting a gaming pc and this seems more worth it than the high end ones. Would it run games like BF3, or Skyrim at medium (i could care less about anything over high)! It looks like an amazing idea and will make a lot of my friends jealous (not on purpose). I hope this is compatible with Steam games!!
It’s very difficult to compare it to a desktop gaming PC. In terms of cost vs performance, the desktop PC will always win by quite a bit, since the Project Fiona is intended for mobile gaming.
Yes, based on its specs and the games it’s currently capable of running, there shouldn’t be any issues with BF3 or Skyrim on medium settings. Actually, I’ve seen a video of it running Skyrim very well.
As for Steam… I’d imagine it wouldn’t be an issue since the Project Fiona will be running a MS OS.
I’ll be releasing a more up-to-date article soon, so be sure to check back!
It would be 300€ i5 core + 4gs ddr3 ram 250ghardrive u can buy external hardrives if you relly need them so 300 to 400€
