After Razer (http://www.engadget.com/tag/razer/) easily scored (http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/03/project-fiona-concept-facebook/) the requisite 10,000 Facebook likes needed to proceed with its "Project Fiona (http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/10/project-fiona-raises-the-stakes-for-gaming-tablets-packs-ivy-br/)" 10.1-inch Windows 8 gaming tablet, it asked potential players to decide for themselves how to spec it. And here's a shocker: the consensus was to go hardcore or go home. Voters said it should be similar to the prototype with at least Intel Core i5 or i7 processing zip, mid-tier discrete graphics for max pixel-pushing and weight be damned -- twice the heft and thickness of an iPad was a-ok with the group, for power's sake. Detachable controllers were also considered a must (as we thought earlier (http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/10/hands-on-with-razers-project-fiona-video/)), and for all that, wannabe gamers on-the-go were willing to pay somewhere between $1,300 and $1,500. A firm ship date has yet to be announced for the device, though a variant has already made it past the FCC (http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/24/Razer-fiona-fcc/) -- which usually bodes well for a timely arrival.
