Razer Shows Off Gaming Chair With Integrated Heating and Cooling

[MacRumors]

Razer today introduced Project Arielle, a next-generation conceptual gaming chair that it is developing. The mesh gaming chair has integrated heating and cooling functions thanks to a bladeless fan system located at the base of the backrest.

The chair offers three adjustable fan speeds for personalized cooling, and Razer says that the heat dissipation offered by the airflow can reduce perceived temperatures by up 2°C to 5°C in dry environments.

When it's cooler, there's a built-in heating system that uses energy-efficient PTC heatings delivering up to 30°C of warm air. According to Razer, the chair's noise level is as "soft as a whisper," with the various functions able to be controlled through a touch panel on the chair's arm.

Razer also demoed Project Ava, a conceptual AI gaming copilot designed to provide real-time insights from esports coaches and information on hardware optimizations to improve gaming performance.

As for products that are actually available, Razer debuted PC Remote Play for streaming full-resolution games from PCs to mobile devices, and a new Razer Blade 16 gaming laptop. Razer says that the new Razer Blade 16 is its thinnest gaming laptop to date, with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 laptop GPU and AMD Ryzen 9 AI processors. The Razer Blade 16 will launch in Q1 2025.

So when with a build in toilet?

One step closer.

Yeah, I'm getting tired of peeing on bottles...

Why don't you pee in the bottles ? Can't you unscrew the caps ? Seems like messy to just pee on them.

Oh, prepositions! one of my weak points (on? in?) English!

Thanks for the reminder.

Blowing cold air onto your shoulders and neck like that seems like a one way ticket to a stiff neck. It would be better doing it like some cars and having perforations in the bottom seat cushion to blow cooled air up.

For winter, I think it is better and cheaper to adopt a cat. They provide heat, and they are also good for anxiety. And they can also give you love.

Not just a regular toilet though. Must be a bidet toilet

Yes. Very much so. That’s an absolutely great way of describing it. It’s called CES. (CES isn’t what it used to be, lol.)

I wonder where the button is to have Mom come downstairs to the basement to deliver a Bawls.

Hard to imagine needing a heated chair with your new 5090 blasting in to the room

Razer isn’t getting another dime from me until they support Mac.

 

[Plutonius]

Like the Mac Pro, do they charge extra for wheels ?

 

[justiny]

CES is probably the only place where cutting-edge technology is seen to both get you physically active and also make your body grow as wide as hell.

So… you won’t buy Razer products for your Mac unless/until Razer sells products for your Mac? Sounds reasonable. 😂

(Sorry for joking. But, yeah, lol.)

They call themselves a “lifestyle brand for gamers”

What would they support Macs for?

 

[Macalway]

What! no heated mouse?

 

[mansplains]

Will they lock the heating behind a subscription? If not, we can mod them to hot-swap (pun intended) with bmw seats!

BMW finally realized it was a bad idea

Come on now. Razer isn’t BMW bad. I mean… granted, that’s quite low expectations (being better than BMW), but Razer does easily exceeds those expectations.

If this is anything like the haptic massage pad they have out there, this will be utter crap.

And during summer, you can shave the cat, it'll be less warm!
