This three-screen laptop is both amazing and ridiculous
There you were, living in a reality where laptops had a single screen. And then the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show happened, and suddenly a paradigm shifted.

That's right, folks: Razer is taking the bold step of not just doubling, but outright tripling the number of laptop screens. This is Project Valerie, a super bizarre concept from a company known for making very nice, very expensive gaming hardware.
The first thing you'll notice, of course, is the three-screen concept. In total, the screens create a massive 11520 x 2160 display.

Razer's calling it "12K," which isn't exactly accurate. These are three 17.3-inch discreet displays, each offering 4K visuals.

There's also a bit of characteristic Razer-green shining through in a backlight:

More than just a bizarre concept, Project Valerie has some serious horsepower: a cutting edge NVIDIA 1080 GTX graphics processor.

Of note: a USB-C port, a USB 3.0 port, and an HDMI port.

There are no plans to produce Project Valerie — for now it's a concept project by Razer, a company notorious for such concepts:
