CES 2022: First Look with Razer Project Valerie

Razer's Projection Valerie—a gaming notebook with three 4K displays—is one of the near ambitious products I've seen at CES.

Before going into the details, this has to be said: it'due south an insanely crawly entry.

I visited Razer'southward suite at the show to check it out, and though I had been briefed on it previously, seeing information technology in person is still enough to draw a laugh of appreciation. The 2 additional displays outstretch from the principal console in resplendent fashion, complete with downward-facing LEDs that illuminate the surface beneath. Between the three screens, the notebook boasts an unheard of 12K resolution.

While it's conspicuously early in development (and indeed, may never striking the market as a consumer product given the brazenness and cost involved), information technology'south still quite impressive to come across in action.

Razer Project Valerie is roughly as thick as two Razer Blade Pro units stacked together, with almost of that space behind the display. The extra screens fold into that space when traveling or not in employ. In the ideal, fully functioning model, the artillery property these screens would automatically expand and retract to show or hide the screens. The unit on hand did not have this functionality, so I could only see it in its fully open land.

The point of Projection Valerie is to provide an on-the-go desktop experience, whether for gaming or design. Multiple monitors brand gaming more than immersive and give creatives more room to pattern and apply multiple programs.

I had been skeptical that a notebook—particularly one still not every bit big as many heavy-duty gaming systems, at that—could play games smoothly at 12K resolution? But somehow, I could play several minutes of Battlefield 1 at full resolution smoothly, with really no hiccups, and it looked fantastic. The system got very hot (to the signal of some discomfort on the WASD keys) and it is loud. Even and so, information technology definitely ran smoothly and that, in itself, is pretty incredible.

How so? Razer is keeping specs under wraps for now, but I had been told it would make use of NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 card. That'southward unsurprising, since it'south the all-time single carte you can currently put in a notebook. Even so, for most desktops, depending on the game and settings, that top finish NVIDIA GPU struggles to maintain consequent FPS at 4K on 1 screen.

That led me to retrieve there must be dual cards in SLI in Projection Valerie, but Razer seemed to imply only i and I tin can't encounter how it would fit 2 in roughly the same base as the Razer Bract Pro since that only runs with one. Granted, it did go extremely hot, then it'southward possible information technology did so without optimising air flow at this phase of development. Something is manifestly going on under the hood regarding the components, merely information technology remains a mystery for now.

What we do have is an extremely cool, if impractical new product design. Its majority makes using it in a public space seem counter-intuitive, though in theory y'all tin get out the other screens folded inside the body if you lot don't have room. It's early days and Project Valerie may very well never come to consumers in this course, but I wouldn't be surprised if the design ends upwardly in other products or concepts downwards the line.
