This first-of-its-kind PC gaming tablet with integrated dual controllers is definitely not for playing casual games about unhappy birds or zombie-killing flora.
First question, how 'compatible' is it with games?
(lets address that question more specifically to control interfaces before we get into more fiddly software/hardware constraints)
I'm not sure when you last 'gamed' on a laptop, but I assume the reason this has those two 'nun-chuck-esque' grips is so you can actually hold it, and still have fingerprints when you're done.
Gaming on a laptop is a compromise. (I'd say moreso than gaming on a console.)
Dumbest concept just hold your hands out like you're playing it, your eyesight is LOWER than your hands.
The centre of the screen is below where your hands will be holding.
In other words, you ever held a PSP for like an hour while in bed? Yeah, you get that gamers claw, where you take your hands off and your hands go tingly and hard to move till the blood gets through hem again?
also hold your thumbs in the position of the analogue stick and pretend you want to use a skill.
Yup, your fingers need to curl under your thumb to use a button..
I can't even trust razer to make a mouse that doesn't break after 2 or 3 weeks so fuck trusting them to have a fully functioning tablet pc thing. Wouldn't trust those pricks with a burnt match.
