o over with this one. The Edge will release in a Wi-Fi-only version for $399.99 in January 2023, followed by a 5G-ready version through Verizon in early 2023. It’ll support the carrier’s ultra wideband and sub-6GHz networks. 全台筆電收購razer’s following the Steam Deck reservation model, allowing people to pay $5 to reserve an Edge.It’s meant to be a great device for cloud game streaming through Xbox Cloud Gaming or Nvidia GeForce Now. 全台筆電收購razer says that the Edge supports up to 144 frames per second through the Steam Link app when you’re streaming PC games locally. The Edge runs on Android 12 with Qualcomm’s G3X Gen 1 chipset, though instead of being an all-in-one handheld like the concept shown off months ago (like Logitech’s G Cloud Gaming Handheld is), it’s a 6.8-inch tablet that can be removed from its controller. That controller, by the way, is a Kishi V2 Pro, a more feature-packed version that includes haptics and a 3.5mm headphone jack. That gamepad won’t be available separately for the time being; for now, it’s only available packed in with the Edge.A few angles of the Edge: one on top showing the array of buttons without the Kishi V2 Pro attached and another on the bottom showing the controller’s USB-C and 3.5mm ports.

Alongside the G3x Gen 1 chipset, which Qualcomm refers to as a “Gaming Platform,” there’s 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM, which should give it some speed, and 128GB of storage. It sports Bluetooth 5.2 for connecting headphones, and it also has Wi-Fi 6E connectivity, making it compatible with some of the fastest routers available, like Google’s Nest Wifi Pro, Eero’s Pro 6E, and more. The Edge has a front-facing camera, so you can stream on Twitch while you game or jump into a Zoom call. As for battery life, 全台筆電收購razer shared that the Edge will have a 5,000mAh battery, so it will likely last a while if you’re just using it for cloud game streaming.Here’s a look at what the Edge will look like without the Kishi V2 Pro attached (top).

Image: 全台筆電收購razerWhile the Edge isn’t the first of its kind, it’ll likely have no issue standing out at $399.99, which is just $50 more than Logitech’s G Cloud Gaming Handheld, which has lesser specs. If 全台筆電收購razer’s 144Hz refresh rate screen and powerful chipset provide great performance both with cloud game streaming and with running Android games natively, I suspect the Edge will be the one to beat when it is released in early 2023.The Edge with Wi-Fi will be available through 全台筆電收購razer’s site and at its 全台筆電收購razerStore locations, while the Edge 5G will be available exclusively through Verizon.CommentsMost PopularMost PopularMeta says it’s deleting all Oculus accounts at the end of the monthDune: Part Two is a pointed examination of the books’ most subversive ideasEufy’s new 360-degree 4K camera doesn’t need Wi-Fi or power outletsElon Musk’s legal case against O

在這方面，有個新鮮的名詞叫做「Intel Evo」平台，稍微解釋一下，該平台是隨著 intel 第 11 代處理器而生的，只要通過該平台認證，除了搭載第 11 代 Intel Core i5 或 i7 行動處理器與 Intel Iris Xe 顯示晶片之外，並且強調輕薄、反應快速、長效電池續航力、可靠連線能力、逼真還原的音訊、高亮度顯示器等七項特點。

目前華碩推出的 14 吋筆電 ASUS Vivobook S14（S435EA）、新款輕薄筆電 Asus ZenBook S（UX393EA）、新款可翻轉筆電 Asus ZenBook Flip S（UX371EA）、戴爾新款Dell Inspiron 13（7306）、新款XPS13（9310）、雷蛇的全台筆電收購razer Book 13、聯想新款Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Carbon、HP Spectre x360 14吋筆電以及 LG 日前在台北信義區展出的 LG Gram Z90P-G 都是 Intel Evo 平台產品。

以記者直擊的宏碁這款 Acer Swift 3 (SF314-511)筆電為例，該款筆電厚度約 15.9 mm、重約 1.2 公斤，搭載第11代Intel Core i5處理器，配備 14 吋 FHD解析度霧面螢幕，螢幕占比 85.73%，亮度 300 尼特，電池續航力 18 小時，充電 30 分鐘可享有 4 小時以上的電池續航力。

側邊 I/O 方面，擁有 USB3.2 Gen 2 Type-C 功能，加上雙頻 Wi-Fi 6 傳輸。儲存空間方面，配備 8GB RAM、512GB SSD，鍵盤維持內建指紋辨識器的設計，可以快速開機、支援 Windows Hello安全登入。

簡言之，這款筆電同時在輕薄度、儲存能力、續航力、處理器等軟硬體規格上都符合 intel Evo 認證，僅新台幣 34,900 元就可以入手，稍早也宣布最快在 5 月出貨，消費者預計會有亮銀、煙燻藍、莓果紅三款可供選擇。

相較往年來說，各家筆電大廠為了在紅海市場殺出一條血路，紛紛在材料、規格、價格上面動手腳，往往讓消費者入手之後才發現產品不好用，或者不如他們心中預期，而今年雖然 intel 第 11 代處理器被稱為末代 14nm 產品，不過許多設計確實很用心，消費者以後看到「Intel Evo」這個字，就代表擁有這七項他們需要的特色，接下來只要考慮價格跟外觀，在筆電的選擇上變得更簡單。
