    If that thing's got an Atom processor, the only way its going to be even a decent gaming "laptop" is if its got some dedicated GPU of some kind (+ price, - battery). Plus those (presumably) OLED keys are going to cost a fortune more than any standard $5 keyboard. I have a feeling that the market for this is going to be niche, almost like all the Razer stuff. Frankly though, I don't think their typical "high-end gamer" market is really going to like this. 
     
    But putting all of that aside, Razer's CEO has a good voice. If it wasn't such an iffy product, I could imagine to dude as Steve Jobs with all of the baloney language.

    " Razer, from my experience, makes the most fragile and laughably shoddy accessories this side of Chinese manufactured lead laced crap. All their products are abandoned the month they are released, and break down just after the warranty expires. All the pros still use MX518 or MS explorer mice. Steelseries, Razer, OCZ, etc. etc. are enticing the players with limited disposable income with increased results the way internet huckster peddle penile enlargement pills. Stay away, save your money.   "

    Lol you're so wrong. Look at TL threads/playXP (if you read korean) all the pros use steelseries/razer/logitech, etc. It's not just their sponsorships either- you can see them using those products in tournament play.

    " The whole conceit behind this tech seems to be "hotkeys are inpenetrable, here have some help". Like, the touch screen beneath the keyboard is a great idea for programmers or languages with way more characters than can fit well on your typical laptop. This seems like a superfluous use of an interesting idea. The idea of hitting caps lock and literally changing the keys? That's appealing. The idea of not having to hunt online for how to bring up special characters? Thats appealing. "
