Two of Razer’s triple-monitor laptops were stolen at CES 2017

There’s little doubt you noticed Razer’s rather interesting triple-monitor laptop being shared all over social media last week. Well, guess what? Two of the prototypes were stolen at CES 2017 on Sunday.

According to a Facebook post from Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan (thanks, Gamespot), two of the prototypes known as Project Valerie were stolen from the firm’s booth during the Las Vegas trade show.

The company is working with both law enforcement and show management on the situation, and Razer is offering a $25,000 reward for original information leading to the “identification, arrest and conviction of a criminal suspect.”

“Our teams worked months on end to conceptualize and develop these units and we pride ourselves in pushing the envelope to deliver the latest and greatest,” wrote Tan. “We treat theft, larceny, and if relevant to this case, industrial espionage, very seriously.

“Penalties for such crimes are grievous and anyone who would do this clearly isn’t very smart.”

Tan goes on to notes the Project Valerie units were stolen from the Razer press room at approximately 4 pm PT on Sunday, January 8.

The post goes on to note stipulations regarding the reward, such as overall value of information provided, monetary amount offered should multiple informants come forward, and other legalities.

Hit up the Facebook post to find out more on the situation.

Yeah kind of weird how they got away with stealing all that equipment without anyone seeing the thief. I'd guess all of it was protected? Who knows but I like the keyboard a lot

They were obviously smart enough to steal two laptops from a giant convention with TONS of security and get away with it
