This gaming laptop know as the Raser Switchblade will kill the Alienware brand. It’s small, powerful with a revolutionary keyboard…wow!!! Raser, hurry up and bring this monster to market..we gamers are waiting!!!!

I doubt it will become anything like an Alienware killer
Alienware is already killing itself ever since Dell purchased them out. I run on a Sony VAIO gaming laptop and I somewhat disagree with them on their claims that its too hard to game with a regular laptop. I have a full sized keyboard and numpad and a wireless mouse and it works just fine at the college campus. I also have been wanting a netbook for a LOOOONG time so this seems like the perfect choice for me. Hopefully they actually release it because I’ll DEFINITELY buy one to compliment my VAIO.
