Razer announced a partnership with AMD to create the ultimate AMD gaming laptop that will be based on AMD's Ryzen 5900HX processor that has 8-cores, 16 threads and can rev up to 4.6GHz.
The company said Nvidia's mobile line of RTX-30 series will be available as options including the RTX 3070 and RTX 3080. The laptop is also just 16.8mm thin and will have 14-inch, Quad HD (2560*1440) 165Hz display. As usual, the laptop will feature per-key RGB chroma lighting and THX certified speakers.

It is also VESA compatible and can be mounted. The pricing starts at 799 Euros (Approx. Rs. 71,086)
Razer USB-C GaN Charger
Based on Gallium Nitride, the modern alternative to silicone, GaN chargers are not only physically smaller but also more efficient at transferring current providing more power with less components and less heat loss.

All kidding aside, Razer's face mask has replaceable N95 grade filters, secure silicon face seal and a lab-tested BFE rating. There is interior lighting, exterior lighting and anti-fog coating. Razer also says that the filters will last three times longer than standard surgical face masks and will use eighty percent less material waste.
