When I just read a title of news claiming this notebook has been stole, I though of a hoax.
And I have no reason to think otherwise or change my mind. Police report? So what? We had way more strange things happening on purpose before.
Some junior marketing staff member (who conveniently is on a vacation today) will tomorrow "confess" with some words like: "Oh, I have packed them together with posters and sent via postal service in an unmarked box to some other-part-of-the-world destination."

Didn't Apple do this a couple of times with new iPhone prototypes being left in bars?

Since this product(s) was a high value prototype, two things come to mind:
1. Camera footage covering the product will help to identify the thief, in tandem with camera footage from other parts of the event. You just would not leave a product like this only in the hands of people in the area, security staff or anyone else.
2. It was an inside job, or a hoax, as the individual who took or removed the machine would have 'appeared' to have been a Razor employee, hence why they got away with it (if it did indeed happen). No one would have thought to question, or at least would have suspected anything strange, when an individual posing as a Razor employee removed the hardware.
'Dash and Grap' tactics would not work here as you would potentially destroy the unit plus everyone would know about it as you run through the halls shouting 'MOVE...' 'Get out of my way, dag nabit...'
Packing this thing up normally to avoid suspicion would probably take a couple of minutes, I.e. getting the screens in place and the unit closed and secure.
Its too large for it to go missing without a trace.

I remember Linus saying cheekily on his review, something along the lines of "You better lock this down or someone's going to make off with it" lol

I'm not condoning stealing, but, fair play to the guys who had the balls to do it tbh. I would love such a laptop!
I'm sure they're enjoying triple-screen Battlefield 1 right now, ahem.

Just an overpriced Laptop which only 10 people in the world buy... no big deal.

It runs triple monitors each at 4k...so it's supposed to run the latest games at 12k resolution?!?! What gpu (let alone a mobile one) can provide enough horsepower for enjoyable 40-60+ fps at that absurd resolution?!?!? :3eyes:

You can't game at 12k but you can play at a lower resolution across the 3 panels also it has a single gtx1080 inside which you'd think even being a prototype they'd through SLI 1080s? Downscale each panel to 1080p and game at that resolution instead of native 4K on each panel

...external GPU/Razer Core?

From another Guru3D article: "Today a rumor appeared on a number of websites, clickbait in its biggest form."
Well, this sneaky "Viral ?" tag is clickbait too. You shouldn't echo unsubstantiated speculations like this. The Razr people not only lose their prototypes but are implicitly blamed for it as well! And have to deny having done it...? This is very unfair to them. Guru3D normally maintains higher standards.
