Another Android-based cloud gaming handheld has entered the fray. Following the reveal of Logitech's G Cloud Handheld, Razer has given more details on its previously teased portable device, now called the Razer Edge. It offers a 6.8 inch 144Hz 2400x1080 AMOLED display, with a 3Ghx Snapdragon G3x CPU, and looks like a tablet that is docked into the Razer Kishi Pro V2 controller. Razer is marketing the Edge as a primarily cloud-based gaming handheld, and while it'll initially launch with only a WiFi version, a 5G version will be available, with further details to come at a later date. The WiFi version of the Edge will retail for $399.99, and will launch in early 2023.

Seems like a good deal for something between with more punch than your standard Android console but less bulk than a Steam deck, pretty cool.

Back in like 2017 I dropped ~$2300 on a high end Razer Blade laptop because I needed something powerful for work, and I thought it looked cool. After a year of light use, the motherboard just died. I barely even used it.

If that's the quality you can expect from their high-end stuff, I don't want to see what something in this price range is like.

Fuck Razer.

No comment.

On a related note.. Why are we pushing "cloud gaming" devices now? It's really weird to advertise this with the impression that it's only good for one thing. Which can't be right. It's an android device, which means you should be able to play games directly on the device. It having cloud gaming apps should be a secondary selling point.

This is a console probably aiming for emulation. Being a big name on the west they probably just don't want to say that out loud. This seems to be aim to compete with the Retroids, Ayns, Anbernics, etc. of this world.

The problem is, in a world where Steam Deck exists at the price point it is sold, and furthermore being now sold without waiting lists - and Retroid Pocket 2+ and 3 at their price points, it is kinda hard to justify such a device at this price.

seems like it. they rather just make cloud devices instead of spending more money towards manufacturing a better, more powerful device.

Geforce Now actually supports 120hz and has the graphics cards to push it. Whether you have the internet for that is another matter.

This thing is also strong enough to run demanding Android games, although I don't think too many of them even allow 120hz+ precisely because they are demanding.

She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
