Remember the Razer Blade from 2013? The gaming laptop is getting an upgrade this year that bringing
improved performance through more powerful innards that should help the model keep its spot in the
pantheon of gaming laptops.
On the outside, the new Razer Blade is unchanged using the same CNC-machined aluminum body with
ectoplasm-green accents. The laptop sports a 3200x1800 IGZO display (262ppi), three USB ports and
stereo speakers.
The big changes are on the inside. The new Blade will sport the new NVidia GeForce GTX 970M chip that
is based on the new Maxwell architecture and comes with 3GB of VRAM. The processor has also been
bumped to an Intel Core i7 clocked at 2.6GHz, which can be overclocked to 3.2GHz with the Turbo Boost
feature. The laptop comes with 16GB of RAM and will come with three storage configurations: 128GB, 256GB
and 512GB SSD.
The Razer Blade will run on Windows 8.1 and will of course be upgradeable to Windows
10 once the OS becomes available.
Razer is already selling the updated version of the Blade on its own website and on Microsoft’s online
store starting at $2200 for the 128GB model.
