"I've just been informed that two of our prototypes were stolen from our booth at CES today. We have filed the necessary reports and are currently working with the show management as well as law enforcement to address this issue," said a statement from Min-Liang Tan, co-Founder, CEO, and creative director of Razer.
During the CES 2017 event in Las Vegas, Nevada, Razer unveiled the world's first triple-display laptop. However, towards the end of the show, someone walked away with the prototype of these two laptops. It was later found that it was posted for sale on a Chinese online shopping website, Taobao.
The post, however, has been taken down as the authorities are still not sure of the authenticity of the product. Taobao is reported to harbor some of the most malicious online sellers on the web. Razers is offering $25,000 as a reward for information about the whereabouts of its laptops and criminal arrest and conviction.
Razer's Project Valerie is a first in the world, featuring three enormous 17-inches with 4k resolution screens, a top of the line NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card with 8GB RAM, an Intel Core i7 Skylake Chipset, and 32GB of internal storage.
