Nobody can Eng Subaccuse gaming company Razer of not bringing its A-game to CES last week.
Though only concepts, Razer stunned attendees with Project Valerie, a concept gaming laptop with three 4K displays and Project Ariana, a concept projector that extends your screen onto your walls. Both earned spots in Mashable'sBest of CES 2017.
Valerie was particularly impressive. So impressive that someone stole both prototypes from the company's booth.

“This note is to confirm that two Razer Project Valerie laptop prototypes were stolen from the Razer booth at CES," Razer said in an emailed statement to Mashable."The product was taken from the Razer press room at approximately 4 p.m. on Sunday, January 8, 2017. A $25,000 reward is being offered for original information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of a criminal suspect."
The company brought several prototypes of the two new concept devices to the show, including two versions of Project Valerie (one fully functional version and one with the finalized deployment hinges) and two models Project Ariana (one mock of the actual projector and one functional proof-of-concept of the hardware guts).

The company has filed police reports and is working with law enforcement and CES management to get to the bottom of the stolen prototypes, Tan added.
"We treat theft/larceny, and if relevant to this case, industrial espionage, very seriously -- it is cheating, and cheating doesn’t sit well with us," Tan said. "Penalties for such crimes are grievous and anyone who would do this clearly isn’t very smart.
The unfortunate turn of events isn't the first time Razer's prototypes have been stolen. Two prototype Blade laptops stolen from its San Francisco R&D lab in 2011.
Razer's urging anyone who might have information on the stolen goods to contact [email protected].
While having its products stolen is a terrible way to end CES, on the bright side, it means Razer's created products with trade secrets worth stealing in the first place.
UPDATE: Jan. 9, 2017, 4 p.m. EST Added clarification for specific prototypes stolen and reward information.
