Razer Reveals New Gaming Laptops and More at CES 2021
Razer revealed a fair number of things at CES 2021 already. They’ve announced a smart mask called Project Hazel to help with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Project Brooklyn which is a transforming gaming chair, and the latest Razer Blade gaming laptops.
Project Hazel is a multi-use smart mask is classified as an N95 medical-grade masks with Smart Pods that filter at least 95% of airborne particles along with a high fluid resistance. However, it doesn’t stop there. Project Hazel has a transparent design so that those you talk to can see facial cues and help the hard of hearing read lips.
There are also lights that automatically turn on in the dark. Razer is also including Razer VoiceAmp Technology which uses a built-in microphone and amplifier to help improve the clarity of communication and deal with muffled voices. The masks are also designed to help reduce waste by utilizing “replaceable and rechargeable disc-type ventilators that can be conveniently sanitized of bacteria and viruses by placing it inside its dual-purpose wireless fast charging box with disinfecting UV-light interior.”
Meanwhile, Project Brooklyn is something for gamers to enjoy at home. Built with carbon fiber and RGB lighting, the chair is said to be cutting-edge as it can transform into “a fully immersive gaming station complete with panoramic visuals from a 60” rollout display, riveting tactile feedback built into the seat, and 4D armrests that roll out into adjustable peripheral tables.” That sounds intense. It is still in development (as is Project Hazel), but it is supposed to be smaller than other all-in-one chairs. It’ll be interesting to see what happens.
Now let’s talk about the computers. Razer revealed the new Razer Blade 15 and Razer Blade Pro 17 gaming laptops for people to enjoy. The laptops feature NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series GPUs, 10th Gen Intel Core CPUs, M.2 NVMe SSDs, a minimum of 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and more.
