Engineering:Razer Edge
Razer Edge is a series of handheld gaming tablets developed and manufactured by Razer Inc.
2013 model
Unveiled in 2012 under the codename "Project Fiona" and released in 2013, the first-generation Razer Edge was a Windows 8-based 2-in-1 tablet with gaming-oriented features. It features a 10.1-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 1366x768, third-generation Intel Core CPUs, and discrete Nvidia GeForce GT 640M LE graphics. The Edge was released in two models, with the entry-level Edge featuring a 1.7 GHz Core i5-3317U processor, 4 GB of RAM, and 64 GB of internal storage, and the Edge Pro featuring a 1.9 GHz Core i7-3517U processor, 8 GB of RAM, and 128 or 256 GB of internal storage.[1][2][3][4]
The Edge supports several accessories, including a docking station that allows 1080p output to an external display, and the "GamePad"—a case that adds gamepad controls to the sides of the tablet, and a slot for an optional secondary battery. Razer also offered an optional keyboard attachment.[1][2][3][4]

In October 2022 during its RazerCon event, Razer unveiled a second-generation version of the Edge; unlike the first-generation model, the second-generation Edge is positioned as an Android-based "cloud gaming" tablet with detachable controls similar to the Razer Kishi accessory, a 6.8-inch 144 Hz display with a 2400x1080 resolution, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon G3x Gen 1 system-on-chip, and versions with either Wi-Fi or 5G cellular connectivity. The device is bundled with apps for cloud gaming and remote play services, as well as game marketplaces such as Epic Games Store, Steam and Battle.net.[7][8][9][10]
