Razer is known for gaming accessories, and more recently, for her laptops. One of the main reasons for the upcoming collaboration with Lenovo is to reach a wider audience.
The companies announced the new branding partnership with which some of Lenovo's notebooks (notebooks and desktops) that were released under the name Y-series will change their name to Razer Edition PCS along with black and green aesthetics of this company.
But apart from the visual changes we will see in the first computers, the two companies will reportedly work together to develop completely new ones in the future productof.
Lenovo also stated that all Razer Edition PCs will be free of bloatware – which the company points out is especially important given the company's more tech-saavy friends. (The reference to the absence of bloatware is not accidental, after the scandal that broke it last February)
At the moment there are no specs for the first Razer Edition PC, but we imagine that its features will be similar to those of Y900.
It's one movement which seems to make sense for both companies. Razer gains financial strength from the world's best-selling PC maker, while Lenovo is able to expand further in one of the few PC segments (gaming) that has not only remained stable, but grown over the past few years.
The first computers from this collaboration will be released at CES in January, according to TheVerge.
