Razer’s lineup of gaming laptops are always quite low profile. They’re famous for being quite slim and easy on the eye. The company is also famous for unveiling crazy concept ideas at CES and this year is no different. The latest crazy idea Razer unveiled is Project Valerie, a concept laptop with three 4k screens, which is quite a step away from the direction of the existing Razer Blade laptops.
The system is the world’s first portable laptop with three built-in monitors. Each of the 17.3-inch 4K IGZO display is equipped with NVIDIA G-SYNC technology that is capable of producing the smoothest possible framerates and expansive 180 degree NVIDIA Surround View gaming.
Each display mechanically slides out of the side of the main screen and adjusts into place, making it easy for users to deploy. Furthermore, with integrated multi-monitor support, users will no longer have to deal with the cable clutter from traditional desktop setups.
“The complexities of a traditional multi-monitor setup are a thing of the past with Project Valerie. Equally important, the power of a desktop computer and graphics capabilities of three top-end monitors are included in the system. There is no shortcoming in the way of performance in the face of its amazing portability and features.”

A unibody CNC aluminum chassis measures just 1.5-inches thick and weighs less than 12 pounds. An included compact AC adapter is much smaller than similarly powered systems, furthering complementing Project Valerie’s mobility.
Project Valerie retains the remarkable thermal management system for which Razer’s line of laptops is known. A custom-designed fan and dynamic heat exchangers pair with a vapor chamber to maximize heat dissipation.
Project Valerie is the second Razer notebook to utilize Razer’s Ultra-Low-Profile Mechanical switches. Each switch features a true actuation and reset point. Key presses are registered with 65 grams of force, mimicking the feel of full-size mechanical keyboards. The keyboard, trackpad, extended monitors are also Powered by Razer Chroma, which unlocks a virtually endless array of dazzling lighting effects that can be customized by the user or synced to in-game events.
When it comes to graphics, Project Valerie is equipped with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080.
It should be noted that most of Razer’s concept ideas never see the day of light and in my opinion, Project Valerie just seems like a textbook case of vaporware.
