On the deck there are 13 spaces that admit multiple types of components . Touch screens, system monitoring tools, or external captured cards, to name just a few. “User settings can be reconfigured in a matter of seconds for each specific situation desired”, mentions the brand.
The goal is for Project Sophia to be useful to anyone regardless of their activity. For example: to perform a basic task such as editing files in Word, or playing games and broadcasting your game through Twitch. And where is everything displayed? The desktop includes a 65 “OLED screen .

The interchangeable modular system allows users to quickly reconfigure their desk with almost infinite flexibility, tailoring “Project Sophia” not only to the task at hand, but also to the particular preferences of the user. This is the future of play and work areas. ”
Internally, Project Sophia integrates a custom PCB, a 12th generation Intel processor and a Nvidia graphics card next generation (3000 Series). In other words, the Razer desktop is also the cabinet of your PC. To fulfill its purpose of being modular, the components are attached to the desktop magnetically , which makes it easy to upgrade the hardware based on your needs.
