Before CES, I hadn’t thought about Razer too much. They make gaming stuff and I don’t have much time for gaming. I certainly don’t need to spend a ton of money on a gaming laptop or desktop when my needs can be met for a little bit less than the extraordinary prices of those top end laptops.
But what if I want to do some gaming or intensive video editing without buying a brand new laptop? Alienware had the right idea for an external graphics card solution but made it with proprietary hardware. This limited the usage to just a couple of Alienware laptops. Razer has taken that idea and built the Razer Core but they do it with a bit more intelligence. Let’s find out what that means!
Looks
The Razer Core looks like a tiny computer. That’s the best way I can describe it. With a black metal body and some simple vents and such, it’s fairly nondescript…when it’s off. When it’s on, there are programmable RGB lights that highlight the front of the Core and the graphics card which you can see through a little window on the side.
