Perhaps the PlayStation Vita’s leggy 5 inch screen just isn’t enough for your dedicated gaming portable needs. Perhaps — and this is just a theoretical, of course — you think Sony’s promise of console quality games on the Vita isn’t nearly as important as full-on console games on the go. Enter Razer’s “Project Fiona PC Gaming Tablet.” It’s merely a prototype (at least for now), but this may be the go-to portable for you at some point in the future, fictional crazy person.
Razer unveiled the prototype concept this week at CES, ending an ambiguous, weeks-long promotional campaign (seen after the break). According to a press release issued by the hardware company, the Project Fiona tablet comes with an Intel Core i7 processor, and is capable of running “current-generation PC games” — Firefall, Assassin’s Creed: Revelations and H.A.W.X. 2 are shown in the teaser, offering examples of some titles that will apparently work on the device — surprise surprise, Ubisoft is jumping at the chance to showcase its wares on a new gaming device. Razer claimed in the announce that “many” PC games will “run natively” on the device without any need for specialization.
Beyond being a super powerful gaming tablet, Project Fiona also keeps up with the Joneses by including “ultra-precise accelerometers and a highly sensitive multi-touch screen,” which is intended to give developers a chance to cater their PC games to the device. It also has now de rigeur forced feedback, so you can rumble while commuting.
Unlike Razer’s previous gaming prototype, the Switchblade, the company isn’t giving out a hard price for Project Fiona, but said it’ll be “under $1,000” when it’s expected to launch in “Q4 2012.”
