So...two of Razer's prototypes were stolen from CES according to the Razer CEO.  May or not be something we saw in a LTT video.

 

Directly quoting from the article linked below:

All the news from Las Vegas' CES 2017 has been revealed and discussed now, but the show continues to shock—and not in a good way. Razer's CEO Min-Liang Tan disclosed in a Facebook post that two of the company's prototypes were stolen from its CES booth. While Tan did not say which prototypes were taken, Razer built its CES presence around its Project Valerie triple-display laptop prototype and its Project Ariana Chrome-lighting smart projector prototype.

 

According to Tan's post, Razer has already filed the necessary paperwork to report the stolen property, and the company is working with CES officials and law enforcement to address this crime. While Tan didn't say if they already had any leads, he did address the possibility of this theft being industry-related. "We treat theft/larceny, and if relevant to this case, industrial espionage, very seriously," Tan wrote. "It is cheating, and cheating doesn’t sit well with us. Penalties for such crimes are grievous and anyone who would do this clearly isn’t very smart."

 

Razer has been the victim of theft before. In 2011, two laptop prototypes were stolen from a Razer office in San Francisco—those ended up being early prototypes of the Razer Blade. Project Valerie is a larger-than-life laptop with three built-in displays, two of which fan out from the central panel. Project Ariana is a 4K projector that, when pointed at a TV or gaming monitor, can sense the edges of that display and use room's light to extend the game's field of view onto the walls. Since these are prototypes, there's no guarantee Project Valerie or Project Ariana will ever hit shelves.
