Razer launches new Blade that's sleeker and lighter than ever

Razer has expanded upon its laptop/notebook line of products today by announcing the launch of the new Blade notebook, and the specs will make anyone want to pick one up immediately.

While the previous version of the Blade personally left something to be desired, I have to admit I'm impressed by what the company is offering this time around. The new QHD+ Display is going to offer an eye-popping 3200x1800 resolution for gamers that will be pushed by a GTX 970M GPU and a Core i7 processor. The full spec list can be found below:

·         Intel® Core i7-6700HQ Quad-Core Processor (2.6 GHz / 3.5 GHz)

·         NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 970M (6 GB GDDR5 VRAM)

·         16 GB Systems Memory (DDR4, 2133 MHz)

·         Windows® 10 64-bit

·         256 GB / 512 GB SSD (PCIe M.2) options

·         14.0-in. IGZO QHD+ 16:9 Ratio, 3200x1800, with LED backlight, capacitive multi-touch

·         Anti-ghosting keyboard with per-key lighting Powered by Chroma

·         Killer Wireless-AC 1535 (802.11a/b/g/n/ac + Bluetooth® 4.1)

·         Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C)

These features will certainly have customization options to it, but I think the best news with this launch is that it's going to follow the Blade Stealth pricing model that will help make it a bit more affordable, though the price tag still isn't for the faint of heart as it starts at $1,999 MSRP.
