They're about as high-end as you can get. These ones are very expensive and weigh slightly more than the full HD display variants. If you're really looking for the best of the best, the Blade comes in two 17-inch 4K touchscreen configurations. Both of these models have the same 1080p screen. The $1,899 entry-level model gets you 256GB SSD and a full HD display, while the next step up gets you 512GB SSD for $2,099.99 or 1TB for $2,499.99. The Blade is available in a couple of different configurations. If you really want the ultimate gaming experience, you may want to spring for the 1TB PCIe SSD ($2,399.99) version.ĭisplay: 14-inch 1920x1080 IPS Matte Display My only gripe is with the storage, as it's not enough for gaming. I reviewed the $1,899 entry-level model, which is armed with the following components: Intel Core i7-7700HQ processor, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card, 16 GB RAM, and 256GB SSD. The 2017 version, outfitted with an Intel Core i7-7700HQ processor, is powerful enough for virtual reality experiences, but light enough to bring on a daily commute. Aside from a slimmer chassis, it looks near-identical to the late 2016 model we reviewed last year. The Blade is more of a modest update than a full-on redesign. That said, if you've got the capital and want the best game-on-the-go machine around, Razer's got you covered here. Drawbacks like constant fan noise, a somewhat juvenile aesthetic, and an excessive price dampen my enthusiasm for the Blade a bit.

That's not to say we didn't have any nitpicks, though. So, in other words, you're getting loads of power in a super-thin chassis. Though it looks identical to the 2016 model we reviewed last year, this one comes equipped with a faster processor. The Blade is a little over four pounds and measures less than 20 mm thick, making it the slimmest gaming laptop to date. While some gamers love a colossal rig like the Dell Inspiron 15 (7567), it's just not feasible to lug something like that around.
