Razer[1] has unveiled Project Linda and HyperFlux technology at CES 2018[2]. Project Linda is a 13.3-inch laptop design that is powered by the Android[3]-based Razer Phone[4]. It is a smartphone and laptop hybrid concept that aims to merge the Android environment with a laptop. Meanwhile, HyperFlux is a truly wireless mouse technology that gets its power from the mouse pad. This technology includes a mouse and a compatible mouse pad so that users do not have to charge the wireless mouse separately.
In Project Linda, a laptop docks the Razer Phone on its body, in the area where a touchpad is usually placed. It does not dock like Samsung's DeX[5] or require a separate adapter. It connects with the press of a button and instantly transforms Project Linda into an Android laptop. The smartphone's Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC and 8GB RAM ensure responsive performance. Clearly, Razer has an exciting new product in Project Linda. Razer co-founder and CEO Min-Liang Tan, says[6], "Project Linda combines the best of both worlds, bringing a larger screen and physical keyboard to the Android environment, enhancing the experience for gaming and productivity."
The laptop has a 15mm thin unibody CNC aluminium chassis and weighs under 1.25kg including the docked phone.It sports a 13.3-inch Quad HD touchscreen and comes with a built-in keyboard. The 5.7-inch display on the Razer Phone can be used as a touchpad, or as a second screen to access apps and tools. The laptop keyboard also includes the Razer Chroma backlighting that can be personalised with various colour options.
The concept laptop also features a 53.6Whr internal battery that can charge the docked phone to full capacity over three times,...
