Two Razer prototype laptops get stolen at CES

California-based gaming company Razer didn’t have as great a time at CES. Two of Razer’s new prototype laptops have been stolen from its booth in Las Vegas on Sunday. The company is willing to pay US$25,000 to find out who took the products. Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan describes on Facebook that the theft could be seen as industrial espionage. “Our teams worked months on end to conceptualize and develop these units. It is cheating, and cheating doesn’t sit well with us. Anyone who would do this clearly isn’t very smart.”

The said laptops were named Project Valerie and are described as “a new standard of immersive entertainment.” The units had three built-in 17-inch screens to give gamers a less cluttered multi-monitor setup. Tan has said they are working with show’s management and law enforcement to get into the bottom of this issue.

By Nicole Batac

Las Vegas - Lenovo’s smart home solution doesn’t end with the Smart Assistant. There’s also the boxy Smart Storage. And as its name suggests, it’s a network attached storage for the home. It has 6TB capacity, dual-band wireless access, and multi-device auto-sync capabilities. It can store any of your personal files and with peer-to-peer access, Lenovo promises the Smart Storage is built to be a secure NAS for the home. The focus for Smart Storage, though, looks to be photos as its integrated facial recognition software can organize your entire photo library based on faces. The Smart Storage is coming to the US in May and its retail price starts at US$139.99.
