It’s too bad Razer already used the name Switchblade for its CES 2011 micro laptop concept, as it’s would have been perfect for Project Valerie, a gaming laptop that expands from one to three displays with the press of a button.

On Christmas evening, after the rest of our extended family had fled to their respective homes, I hooked up my Oculus Rift to the new Razer Blade Pro, pushed aside the plants and cat food bowl on the keeping room table and introduced my 70-year-old mother to virtual reality. It went quite well.

Since the 2011 debut of its first super-skinny gaming laptop, Razer has supplemented the Blade line with models either smaller or less expensive than original. Starting at $3,699, the new Blade Pro bucks that trend, resulting in Razer’s the most impressive desktop replacement yet.

Razer’s ultra-thin line of Blade gaming laptops has traditionally been about balancing power with portability. Housing a Geforce GTX 1080 without adding anything to its .88 inch thickness, next month’s new Razer Blade Pro aims to be the best of both worlds.
