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.

But why do we need laptops for gaming.... Desktops can serve the purpose very well and in far better way ... And at much lower price....

        Wow, I expected prices of 1500+ dollars, but this... considering what it has inside, really isn't that much.

          I didnt know that cheaper meant a whooping 2.3 grand.
          Same speced msi laptops cost less than 1400. That too available for a long time already

                Anonymous, 16 Mar 2016I am personally ok with QHD or FHD for laptops but smartpho... moreonce upon a time, people felt 800x600 displays on a phone was overkill

                personally, i'd rather see a point where displays disappear and phones turn more personal and more private

                  i had a nerdgasm

                    I am no gamer but like the sound of it for business. Maybe its overkill for that ?
                    Good specs.

                      I prefer 15inch FHD version.. more balanced for mobile gaming performance.. QHD is bogging performance to much..

                        Desktop high end GPUs have a hard time running games at that resolution, a mobile GPU just makes it impossible

                          Herodroid, 15 Mar 2016Anyone can offer PC with the same or better specs for a che... moreThat's because mobile GPUs are not powerful enough to run those high resolutions, for example my laptop with a GTX 980m and a i7 can run Star Wars Battlefront at max settings in 1080p at 55fps, now 1800p like this razer laptop should see around 20fps with a 980m but this one comes with a 970m so you'll end up turning settings down to low and still will have a hard time running at more than 30fps

                            I will prefer asus rog g752vy which has gtx980m gpu, gsync, no optimus, excellent cooling, badass design over this razer model for the same price

                              No, it was razor blade stealth, an ultrabook. This is the razor blade(2016) the flagship linup of gaming laptops razor is famous for.

                                  Anonymous, 15 Mar 2016I like it but is GPU internal or external? Also display sho... more970M is Internal gpu but if you buy razer core along, you can put desktop gpu in razer core and connect it to your razer blade using usb type-c/thunderbold 3 port for desktop performance gamming.

                                    External GPU extender???
                                    Wow, I really feel left behind...
                                    What kind of desktop GPU will it support?
                                    Is there any chance to combine 3 of GTX Titan (SLI) into it extender?
