That keyboard idea is phenomenal. Also, the Asian guy is a hardcore badass motherfucker.

I am not a PC gamer, but I must say that this is interesting.

I agree with both of these statements.

I'm skeptical as its market target. It is bulkier than other portable consoles, the screen is smaller than a typical laptop one in definition, and the architecture is on the low side of things. Interesting ideas, but I'm unconvinced it would find a market at this time.

im still somewhat skeptical about it but it would be nice to have and adapt to. also there's the jungle (http://www.gadgetvenue.com/jungle-portable-panasonics-handheld-gaming-system-10054051/) witch could also be interesting but the switchblade as a more advanced and cooler layout


Also they used a WoW 80 heroic dungeon in the video :D

I don't know how I feel about it yet. It looks cool, and I think some company will take the idea of that keyboard and make it full sized for PCs. But I don't know about the small tiny keyboard and small screen.

Pretty much summed up what I was thinking.

Also, I see the issue of a mouse as being a persistent one. I'm just not sure how you can adapt a mouse for use in this format.

Its cool but i think it ruins the whole idea of pc gaming.

You mean like this keyboard that's been around for 3-4 years? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimus_Maximus_keyboard

Why do you think that? I think video games curved sharply downhill after hunt the wummpas. First off when you start making a computer small and compact you limit the amount of performance parts you can have in that pc. Screen is tinny. We don't need people walking around everywhere playing world of warcraft. It should stay at home. What they should have done is just update the keyboard and sell it for the pc. My desktop is 40 times the size of that NO JOKE. its the size of a server case. With cooling fans xD this is the case i have its huge 24" tall 21"long 11" wide http://fcc.fom.be/images/uploaded/image_10.jpg
honestly thats just my opinion. i have more reasons too
