Razer’s $2,799 gaming notebook sold out in 30 min

At CES we saw many unique mobile computing products. The floor was crawling with me-too UltraBooks,  but perhaps one of the more unique offerings came from gaming peripheral maker Razer in the form of its Blade gaming laptop. Now comes the news that the Razer Blade has already sold out in just 30 minutes. The company announced on its Facebook page that within 30 minutes of it opening orders for the gaming notebook, the device was sold out. The company has promised prospective consumers that it will refresh stocks by mid-February.
Those who do not know, the Razer Blade is a 17.3-inch Windows 7 notebook which sports an Intel core i7 Sandy Bridge processor clocked at 2.8GHz, 8GB of DDR3 RAM, Nvidia GT555M 2GB video card and a256 GB SSD. Unique to the notebook is its switchblade multitouch trackpad which is highly customizable for a myriad of tasks. At $2,799, the Razer Blade is not a value for money product, but guess what it has already sold out in 30 minutes (the vendor has not revealed the number of units sold, though). I guess PC gaming is still alive and kicking!
