Razer's Triple Monitor Gaming Laptop Concept: Project Valerie
What more could a gamer want than a 4K display on their laptop? How about packing three of them into one machine. Razer's ambitious new Project Valerie concept offers just that, cramming two fold-out displays into a laptop chassis that lets you get an immersive multi-monitor experience wherever you go. Razer described Project Valerie as the “first automated triple-display laptop.” It features three 17.3-inch 4K displays and a built-in mechanical keyboard. As soon as the laptop opens, two monitors slide out of the sides of the main one and adjust automatically in place. Although this is just a concept, it is a very interesting concept, and if properly executed it could be a very exciting machine. For the time being, it is being shown at CES as a working prototype, which means it is possible it may be put into production.
