Project Linda is a concept laptop that efficiently uses the Razer Phone

Razer, the company that made news last year for their gaming-centric smartphone, gave goosebumps to Microsoft when they showcased Project Linda at the ongoing Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It is a laptop concept wherein their flagship smartphone provides the brains and the control system and also serves as the trackpad.

The idea behind Project Linda

The Razer Phone plugs into space where the trackpad traditionally goes. The idea behind Project Linda is to use the phone's processing power and provide the experience of a laptop.

Project Linda specifications

The chassis of the laptop provides the display, a keyboard, a bigger battery, and extra storage space. The keys are backlit, and color coding is used to categorize similar keys together.

The display is 13.3-inch Quad HD, with a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels. It mirrors whatever is shown on the phone's screen. For apps that need a second display, the Razer Phone's smaller screen is put to use.

There is a USB Type-A port, and a USB Type-C port. There is also a 3.5 mm headphone jack, a 720p webcam, and a microphone.

Project Linda is in the prototype phase, so there is no guarantee if or when it will be available for sale. We do hope it sees the light of the day soon.
