Razer CEO showcases its Kraken Signature Black Edition, unavailable in markets


Razer's CEO Min-Liang Tan could possibly be one of the most active and most engaging top CEOs on Facebook. If you're a huge Razer fan and haven't 'liked' his page yet, you might want to do so here as quite often do most Razer announcements, not to forget giveaways too, come directly from Tan himself, a CEO I've always found myself looking up to.

Recently, Tan posted several photos of Razer's latest product, the Razer Kraken Signature Black Edition. The original Kraken was already a sight to behold, and with a pure all-black edition, it was really, really tempting.

The downside was, Razer's Signature Black Editions are always limited, in fact, extremely limited as they are only exclusively produced as a sign of appreciation for their closest friends and partners at the company. As explained by Tan, "every year, we design a Black Signature edition (limited to 1337 units) that bears my signature. These products are not for sale and are individually serialized and marked - and gifted to our closest friends and partners at Razer."

Though well yes I definitely do wish I was one of their 'closest friends and partners', it's really inspiring to see such a huge company making all these efforts for those they respect and appreciate most. Who knows, maybe one day, hopefully, cross my fingers, when I do get a chance in interviewing Tan (one of my personal goals), I may just get a step ahead.

But till then, I'll just drool at it.

Hands-on the Razer Blade. Portability + Performance?


The Razer Blade is Razer's latest and first flagship gaming laptop featuring the latest Intel Core i7 and a Nvidia GeForce graphics processor, on an impressive 17.3 inch display, only 0.88 inches thin and weights at a mere 6.4lbs. Evidently, it aims to achieve the optimum portability while correctly balancing it with top-notch gaming performance.

Also, arguably it's most significant and distinct feature is its Switchblade User Interface, which functions in two modes: one mode that displays in-game information when a mouse is in use; and another mode that functions as an ultra-sensitive, multi-touch track-panel designed solely to accommodate portable  gaming experience.

Taken from their official website, it strives to be "the best gaming experience on-the-go with true portability, incredible performance, and all-new revolutionary user interface". Looking at its specs, it definitely sounds extremely portable though we would like to try its performance for ourselves. Unfortunately, we are unable to get hold of one yet, due do location (it's not available in Malaysia yet) and price factor. BTW, it sells at a whopping $2800 (or RM8400 in Malaysia).

Anyway, here's a short clip from Razer's CEO Min-Liang Tan himself playing Skyrim at its highest settings as he travels through the clouds 35,000 feet high.


"The Razer Blade's 0.88" thinness and 6.6 pounds means true gaming anytime, anywhere." 
-Min-Liang Tan, CEO, Creative Director of Razer
Do you agree? And if you could, are you willing to fork out that sum of money for the Razer Blade? For me, I'll just wait until it comes to Malaysia. (:

Razer to Sponsor and Help Develop E-Sports in Malaysia

Razer, known most profoundly for its gaming peripherals, is also a large supporter in the e-sports scene - having sponsored and nurtured various teams from all around the world under their Team Razer program. Closer to home, Orange eSports is already part of the team and it sure looks like they won't be the only Malaysian team anymore.

Razer's CEO, Co-Founder and Creative Director Min-Liang Tan
Co-founder of Razer Min-Liang Tan recently shared in a statement that the company is interested, and will be further developing the e-sports scene in Malaysia. In his own words:
“There is still so much room for the Malaysian e-Sports community and industry as a whole to grow. Razer is looking forward to equip more aspiring Malaysian gamers with our gaming-grade hardware and provide the financial support so that they can focus on their gaming and dominate the global gaming arena.”
- Min-Liang Tan, Co-founder, CEO and Creative Director of Razer.
To further reinforce his plans, CEO Min-Liang Tan himself will be personally visiting Malaysia this weekend (14th of April) to meet the local growing gaming scene, as well as for the PIKOM PC Fair at KL Convention Centre

Also, on a similar note, he will have an exclusive Meet and Greet session and the first 10 in line to meet him (more specifically starting at 1pm) will walk home with 5 exclusive Signature Edition Razer DeathAdders and 5 Signature Edition Ironclads. Sure sounds like incentive, isn't it? Nevermind if you can't make it to the first 10 but if you visit Razer's booth, you will still pick up some special Razer swag like drinking flasks, beanies and even bandannas, which will all be autographed by Tan himself!

Anyway, Razer's interest in the development of the Malaysian e-sports scene will surely open up more opportunities to aspiring competitive gamers, which we definitely already have world-class standards. So if you're interested and would really like to join Team Razer, visiting Razer's booth this weekend will be one of your stepping stone. So all the best fellas! :D
