Although it wasn't the first onto the scene, the Razer Edge definitely made a splash as a dedicated Android gaming handheld. While the excitement has fizzled out, that's actually a good thing because at less than $215, this is the cheapest we've seen Razer's first and only handheld.

The original appeal of the Edge was to provide a dedicated handheld that was great for both cloud gaming and your favorite Android games. Its only major competition was the Logitech G Cloud, which was severely underpowered, despite offering better ergonomics.

Part of the problem for Razer was that it kind of fumbled the launch, as it offered two versions: one with Wi-Fi and the other with cellular connectivity. When it was officially introduced, Razer claimed both models would feature the same list of specs, however, it was later revealed that the Wi-Fi model actually featured less RAM.

Not to mention the fact that the Wi-Fi version originally retailed for $400, so actually, you're saving almost $200 on the Razer Edge. Although the price has hovered around the $250 mark for the better part of the year.
