PC Gamers, listen up!  Razor has announced the Fiona, a tablet built just for you with input received by fellow gamers.  The Fiona is a hybrid tablet made for PC gaming, running on the power of Windows 8.

The Fiona features a 10.1 inch 1280 x 800 display with a full screen user interface that supports multi-touch.  An Intel Core i7 processor, 3-axis gyro, accelerometer, magnetometer, detachable controllers, WiFi, Bluetooth, Dolby 7.1 and the list goes on and on.  The system weighs in at twice that of the ipad and is also about twice as thick.

This beast will run you $1299 – $1499, a hefty price, but when you take into account the abilities of this system and the portability, it starts to sound more and more reasonable.

While there is no announced release date as of yet, it has been given FCC approval, so the release date is hopefully right around the corner.

Gamers weigh in, is this high end gaming system a must have?

Tablets are definitely the hottest stuff these days. But when it comes to gaming, even the most popular Apple iPad fails to impress when up next to this. And by gaming, we do not mean Angry Birds. We mean all the latest graphics-heavy titles (like Assasins Creed). No tablet device available on the market nowadays is capable of handling all the latest games. But Razer, the video game hardware developer, intends to change the current situation with Project Fiona.

For months developers from around the world have been working on bringing tablets closer to good game titles. They have managed to come out with apps like OnLive, as well as controllers and gamepad attachments. But Razer appears to have done the best work so far.

Razer’s concept gaming tablet dubbed “Project Fiona” has attracted quite a number of people at CES 2012.

The device, which will be powered by an Intel Core i7 processor, comes equipped with a 10.1 inch screen with 1,280×800-pixel resolution and it features dual controllers attached to the side. With these controllers, you will be able to play any gamepad-enabled title on the device. And you will be happy to hear that most games will run natively on it.

The touchscreen on the tablet is coming with multitouch capabilities, something that the developers might note. Other features include a 3-axis gyro, magnetometer, and accelerometer, and force feedback in the two “handles”. It is also coming with a THX certified sound system.

The company is expecting to release the final version of the tablet in Q4 of 2012 and they are targeting a sub-$1,000 price tag.
