The new Razer Blade laptop is lighter, more powerful and cheaper than its predecessor

15 March, 2016
Today Razer announced its all new Blade gaming laptop and as expected, it is now more powerful than ever. However, what you might not expect is that it is surprisingly cheaper. The compact laptop comes with a 14.0-inch IGZO QHD+ display with LED backlight and capacitive multi-touch. It is encased in a precision cut CNC aluminum chassis, back, of course, that is just 0.71 inches thick. It is also surprisingly light at just 4.25 pounds.

    No, not a mechanical keyboard (and, no, not a stupid question). To get a mechanical keyboard you generally need to be the much larger 17 or 18 inch gaming laptops. For those who don't mind the size and the footprint of these gaming beasts, that sort of keyboard is a wonderful experience. But for those who want gaming power in a smaller and portable format, something like the Razer Blade is a gift from the gaming gods.

And I've seen a news headline about a MSi laptop with a Cherry MX-switch keyboard built-in. It was some upcoming MSi laptop, go ahead and Google it - before unnecessarily calling people stupid! Why people always start calling others stupid, it's kinda annoying behavior.

            [deleted post]sorry, because I have been searching for good laptop which has good cooling system, and I found one in YouTube, it was pretty much the same power as desktop PC but it is a bit fat cause of fans, it had huge fps in heavy fps games like crysis. But you almost couldn't hear sound since fans were working loudly, so that is a big minus tbh. So since then I stopped searching anything, since if any other laptop has same fan system but will way less noise will cost up to 5k euros or even more which is not worth currently. So yeah.

                      Yes, you said it right. I am sceptical a bit about laptop cooling systems... The only good cooling system would be fans... But fans gives loud noise, so if good cooling system, then it will sound like a tractor which is actually bad.

                        i'm confident it can run most games at high-ultra settings at 1080p@60Hz+ Good enough considering its a Mobile computer and sooo thin considering the Muscle inside.
                        btw i find high resolution useful in video editing and video playback.

                            0, 16 Mar 2016What kind of intel i7 is that? You mean powerful right?is t... moreYes its powerful, usually meant for bigger laptops like 15.6 or 17 inches. HQ series are high performer, consumes higher power and requires fan for cooling. These are the best skylake cpu's you can get for laptops, but if you prefer real workstation laptop then you can go for intel mobile xeon cpu series laptop like Dell precision 15 . Where as U series are little slower, usually dual core, consumes less power, doesnt require fan and meant for ultrabooks.
