During CES, Razer’s booth fell victim to theft. Two prototypes were stolen, and the company’s CEO took to Facebook to post the news.

Razer told Polygon that the two prototypes stolen were, in fact, Project Valerie laptops. That’s the device with three 4K screens and a built-in mechanical keyboard.

“At Razer, we play hard and we play fair,” he wrote on Facebook.

“Our teams worked months on end to conceptualize and develop these units and we pride ourselves in pushing the envelope to deliver the latest and greatest.

“We treat theft/larceny, and if relevant to this case, industrial espionage, very seriously – it is cheating, and cheating doesn’t sit well with us. Penalties for such crimes are grievous and anyone who would do this clearly isn’t very smart.

Even further, Razer is now offering a $25,000 reward for information “leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of a criminal suspect.” They mean business.

Here’s the full comment:

This note is to confirm that two Razer Project Valerie laptop prototypes were stolen from the Razer booth at CES. The product was taken from the Razer press room at approximately 4 p.m. on Sunday, January 8, 2017. A $25,000 reward is being offered for original information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of a criminal suspect. Razer, in its sole discretion, will decide who is entitled to a reward and in what amount. Razer may pay only a portion of the maximum reward offered. The decision will be based primarily upon law enforcement’s evaluation of the value of the information provided. When there are multiple claimants, the reward will be shared in amounts determined by Razer. Razer associates are not eligible for the reward. This reward offer is good for one year from the date it is first offered, unless extended by Razer. Information about the theft can be sent to [email protected]. Razer will not publicly disclose material that it receives or details about respondents, except to those persons with whom Razer is directly working to resolve this matter or as may be required by law.

This is about more than just losing expensive tech
For Razer, there’s the element of corporate espionage at work here. It sounds ridiculous to use a term like that, but it’s true. Consider for a moment that perhaps a greedy convention goer didn’t take the devices. Instead, what if a competitor did in order to crack them open and see what makes them tick?

If a company beats Razer to the punch with their own take on these devices, thanks to secrets they learned from their innards, that’s corporate espionage at work. That’s more valuable than two laptops, no matter how crazy they are.

It's not actually online . You just need a data connection to play it. It's thier way of monitoring cheating in games nowadaysif you have like 20mb you can play for a whole day and it'll still remain for whatsapp

Just check dis page https://www.quora.com/Which-chip-set-is-better-MediaTek-Intel-Atom-or-Snapdragon

1.) Mediatek:

It is a Taiwanese company. It uses more cores in it's processors(like octa core,hexa core,deca core).

Battery Life:

The mediatek chipsets are known to be more power draining and results in less battery life.Now they are optimizing their processors to be more power efficient but still lags behind their competetion in of battery life.

Performance:

Performance wise their processors are very good.Due the availability of extra cores,mediatek processors can handle intensive and heavy tasks and they are very good at multi-tasking.But we can see all this practically if we have sufficient Ram.Yes more cores demand more Ram to give best performance.

Heating Problem

Now coming to the heating problem. All the processors deliver heat while performing tasks. Mediatek processors deliver more heat(more cores=more heat) than the others.

Graphics:

Coming to graphics,Mediatek employs Mali graphics which is a third party graphics vendor(So graphics architectue is different from u and its performance may not match with u). It is really important to match the performances of u and gpu(graphics) so that the whole chipset performs efficiently and effectively.

2.)Snapdragon:

Snapdragon chipsets are manufactured by Qualcomm (American) company.

Snapdragon chipsets are not only just U's they incorporate other many processors in their chipsets.This is the main difference between Snapdragon and other chipsets.

Snapdragon chipsets are named as SoC's(System on chip) which means their chipsets(SoC's) have a U,GPU(Adreno Graphics),Image processor,Media processor,DSP(Digital Signal Processor),Cellular Modem unit,Wifi Modue,Radio Module,GPS Module,...etc. All these modules and Processors are inside of a snapdragon chip.Yes they incorporated all these things inside their chips.Hence their chips are costly.

Battery Life:

Snapdragon chipsets are best in of power efficiency compared to all other chipsets.

Performance:

Performance wise they perform really well. In multi-tasking,gaming,handling heavy and intensive tasks they are very good.

Heating Problem:

Snapdragon Processors generally deliver less heat compared to Mediatek and Intel Atom(Except the Snapdragon 810 Chipset-that faced many heating issues.)

Graphics:

Coming to graphics, they manufacture their own graphics called Adreno Graphics and incorporate into their chips. So here the performance of u and gpu are matched.

3.)Intel Atom:

Every one is familiar with Intel processors because they are dominant in the PC market. Intel Atom processors are the initiative taken by the company to enter into mobile segment.Intel processors are best in PC's but when it comes to mobile they have faced one problem...!

Battery Life:

Yes, the problem they faced is Battery life. Intel company has experience in manufactuting processors for PC's which consume power in watts(say 40 watts and above) but when it comes to mobile platform where the processors should run on power less than 5 watts, they had a problem in optimizing their processors to work on low power.

Don't worry that is all in the initial stage when they entered into mobile market. But recently in Q3 of 2015 they have announced their Mobile processors called core M-processors for mobile platform like tablets and smartphones. These processors are very power efficient and they consume power of 5 watts and below.But we may only see them in Smartphones or Tablets in 2016.

Performance:

Performance wise, i think i don't need to tell you how Intel Processors do. They are very good both at PC's and on Mobile.

Heating Problem:

Intel Atom Processors also deliver more heat when running heavy and U intensive tasks or while using for long duration.Let us see how their core M-Processors perform.

Graphics:

Intel, till now used third party graphic vendors like Power VGR and Mali graphics in their U's. Intel also have their own graphics called Intel Iris Graphics which they introduced in their 4th generation core i-series processors for PC's. I am not sure but i have read somewhere that core M-Processors have Intel Graphics built in. Let us see them in 2016.

After briefing all these things

Seriously half of this thread is about campers in cod and how annoying the game can be............ nothing else
still funny tho

AKBliv010:


Mini-itx motherboard only have one PCIe x16 slot it isn't a case on 'might not', it won't 2 gpus.

Yh true just checked it
Hey what do u think of this build
http://partpicker.com/list/NLbcxY

Are the pics captured from consoles or pc

ultmatmus:

Ok I always thought High-end Gpus consume much more power
but i have another question why won't the mini ITX build allow SLi ?
is it because of shortage of pcie connections on the mobo or inadequate space for the gpu cards

It's not really that the Pascal graphics cards are more power efficient than Maxwell or Kepler generation. its a thing with technology as it grows, something called Moore's law where each generation the number of transistors that fit on a u die increases
Mini itx motherboard might not fit two gpus

Then buy a 300$ phone and see how it compares with the iPhone 7

This actually happened to me

Pls is the new etisalat 0.0k settings working

Preboy:

I don't get you pal. Which genre isn't unreal good with?

Platform?.. well I was referring to the graphical capabilities in general, buh we are way past that tho. Engine selection is based on choice and needs, I think we should end it at that.

I agree u haw spoken well

Preboy:

Haba bro... you wanna bring the legendary UE4 vs Unity war to nairaland?

Anyway, I can simply end this here by saying;
I didn't quite shoot down unity, hence why i used the word "better". Unity 5 is quite good too

Buh then let's be honest, Unreal is crazy when it comes to graphics. I know it's not the best(cry engine, rage, source, konami's fox and some others are better) buh in the world of indie developers, Unreal rules Graphics. I do follow unrealdevs on Twitter and Facebook and trust me unity Dev do not compare.

Also Unity is way popular that unreal, how come unity 5 with all its new graphical abilities can't attract AAA designers?

Unreal engine doesn't quite go with some games genre...wait what platform r u talking abt for unity

Preboy:

Lol, you seem like a total newbie.

Well, firstly, games are SCRIPTED not PROGRAMMED

secondly, C# goes with unity... c++ goes with unreal

thirdly, which is suitable depends on the engine you plan on using... Unreal/c++ combo is pretty hard to learn, for both language and engine. Unity/c# or JavaScript is much easier (especially for a newbie)... However Unreal creates better graphics and has an inbuilt feature named "blueprint" which can handle the C++ scripting part for you.

lastly, here is a link to ebooks that can help you get started with scripting with unity (I do hope you however ain't a newbie to programming)

#Goodluck Mate

U have said it all

It's not a new thing tho
It's also not a really good Idea to use another charger for iPhones cos they mess up the phone nd the battery I have three friends who used to use fake chargers for their iPhones but it didn't go well with them just buy a good charger head /adapter and u should be fine if u still have the original cord

Lexusgs430:


Why not simply buy an updated laptop to suit your taste? Have you factored in the cost of all this parts + labour (not forgetting the price to pay if things go wrong)?

The choice is his actually but it's just an option and also nothing should go wrong as long as he gets the right parts and applies a good heat spreader to the processor he will be fine and he will also ser performance gains ....
However it is still up to the owner of he does not have money he should go for an option that is cheaper the parts shouldn't be too expensive but it's the availability he should worry about

I dialed the *131*106# this is what I got...
Tried it without airtime by the way

Lexusgs430:


From my lame knowledge of computers, upgrade is very possible.
You would simply have to buy another laptop with either an i3,i5 or i7.

You will need the name of the motherboard and chipset of the computer after that just Google the compatible us for the chipset an d then replace it with professional help

The google-fu strong in me is !

"FIFA 17 is a complete overhaul from its predecessor, with a brand-new engine, new gameplay tweaks and an innovative new story mode. PES 2017, on the other hand, brings a more refined approach with the incredible strides made last year, 2017 looks to continue that great work with tweaks to ing, goalkeepers and a whole host of new animations.

EA has made a huge change in FIFA 17 by switching from the Ignite engine to Frostbite, the same tech that powers the likes of Battlefield and Mirror's Edge. The development team has said this will bring improved night lighting and more realistic player faces with better emotion.

PES transitioned to a new engine in 2016, using the FOX Engine, and it proved a huge improvement, with players looking incredibly realistic. Konami has developed this further in 2017, with better lighting effects, animations and a revamp of stadia."

So it appears the "hell of a lot" is improved lighting, animations and stadia revamp.. nothing to fuss about bro..its the same engine but improved...the PC still remains the console killer

Pes is still using the same old engine from metal gear solid meanwhile ea decided to move from ignite to frostbite2.0seen in battlefield 1 an a few other ea games which makes it as insane as it can get but at a cost of high specs .....see below

So u mean i cant get it??

In other news goto www.intel.ark.com to see us u might want , there's also the pricing on the website

The hard drive is targeted at the server market not consumers

AKBliv010:


Keep dreaming...not possible at 60FPS. The U's in consoles are too weak. You need at least a mobile U that will perform like an Intel i5/i7...(and they aren't cheap). On the console GPU there's hope as the XBox Scorpio will have a theoretical throughout of 6Teraflops (the RX 480 has >5 teraflops) ...if they strap the Xbox Scorpio with AMD's new Zen processor it may stand a chance but on the Jaguar cores used in consoles now forget about 4K gaming at 60hz.

Aww too bad for consoles

They just can't keep up

I wonder how that 4k gaming on consoles is going to be tho if it can reach the sweet 60fps then it should be worth considering

The road ahead
NAND flash offers an enormous improvement over hard drives, but it isn’t without its own drawbacks and challenges. Drive capacities and price-per-gigabyte are expected to continue to rise and fall respectively, but there’s little chance that SSDs will catch hard drives in price-per-gigabyte. Shrinking process nodes are a significant challenge for NAND flash — while most hardware improves as the node shrinks, NAND becomes more fragile. Data retention times and write performance are intrinsically lower for 20nm NAND than 40nm NAND, even if data density and total capacity are vastly improved.

Thus far, SSD manufacturers have delivered better performance by offering faster data standards, more bandwidth, and more channels per controller — plus the use of SLC caches we mentioned earlier. Nonetheless, in the long run, it’s assumed that NAND will be replaced by something else.

Whether consumers would notice the difference is an open question. If you’ve upgraded from NAND to an SSD and then upgraded to a faster SSD, you’re likely aware that the gap between HDDs and SSDs is much larger than the SSD – SSD gap, even when upgrading from a relatively modest drive. Improving access times from milliseconds to microseconds matters a great deal, but improving them from microseconds to nanoseconds might fall below what humans can realistically perceive in most cases.

For now, NAND is king of the hill — and it’s expected to stay there for the next 4-5 years, at the very least.
