Project Fiona: For Gamers. By Gamers.
Project Fiona is a gaming PC that takes the tablet form factor and adds controls on either side of the screen. Combine that with internal components that will allow all modern PC games to run and a projected sub-$1,000 price point, and you have a system that is like nothing else we’ve seen, for better or worse.
Right now the hardware is running a skinned version of Windows 7, so you can navigate through the games and tabs such as video and an Internet browser, but this is a concept device, and Razer is hoping to launch by the end of the year with Fiona running Windows 8. The only detail they’re willing to reveal about what’s under the hood is the CPU; the rest is being worked out. The audio on the hardware will also be THX certified, and will include force feedback in the controls.
Here are some of the device specs:
Hybrid user interface for PC gaming
Intel® Core™ i7
10.1" 1280x800 display
Full-screen user interface supporting multi-touch
3-axis gyro, magnetometer, accelerometer
