Razer’s Project Valerie Is an Insane Laptop With 3 Screens

There are plenty of crazy things at CES that will come to market, things like washing machines that contain secondary washing machines and brand-new boomboxes with cassette decks.

But all of that power and beauty comes at a hefty price tag; the Spectre starts at $1,170. That’s $30 less than Apple’s MacBook and $170 more than Samsung’s Notebook 9 . Still, this laptop is worth the cost of admission. Here’s why. Did I mention it’s really pretty? “That’s an HP? No. Really!?” That’s the exact reaction I got from my coworker when I asked
