Razer Launches New Gaming Headset for Xbox and a Productivity Laptop
Razer recently announced two new products that they’re launching. First, the Razer Book 13 is a new productivity laptop for individuals who need to get stuff done, but don’t need to game. The 13.4” display is powered by an 11th Gen Intel Core processor and Intel Iris Xe graphics with prices starting at $1,199.99.
The base model features the i5-1135G7, 8GB RAM, and a 256GB SSD. You can get models with an i7-1165G7, up to 16GB RAM, a UHD touch screen, and 512GB SSD but that’s $1,999.99. The $1,599.99 model splits the difference with the smaller SSD, a Full HD touch screen, the i7, and 16GB RAM. If you’re concerned about weight, the base model is 2.95 lbs and the other two models are 3.09 lbs.
The keyboard features Razer Chroma-powered per-key RGB backlights and for inputs, there are 2 Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) ports that also serve as your charging port, a 3.5mm combo-jack for audio if needed, an HDMI 2.0 port, and a USB-A 3.2 port.
The other new item is for Xbox gamers. The Kaira Pro is a new wireless gaming headset designed for the Xbox Series X|S. The headset can connect to multiple platforms via Bluetooth 5.0 but also features Xbox Wireless. The Kaira Pro offers Razer’s TriForce Titanium 50mm Drivers and HyperClear Supercardioid Mic to give gamers clear audio while they play. The headset is available now for $149.99.
