As the new year begins, Razer is already offering gamers the chance to purchase their newest, high-tech addition to their line of gaming laptops. The Razer Laptop features a sleek black cabinet with red LED lighting designed for improved storage and airflow management.
The Razer Blade, an elegant and portable Core i7 17 inch laptop, is the world’s thinnest gaming laptop. It houses a GeForce GTX 765M with 2GB GDDR5 of dedicated memory. For gamers who prefer more screen real estate, the Razer boasts a 14 inch HD+ display with a matte finish and LED backlighting.
The Razer thin and light design make it easy to transport, but this comes at the cost of portability: the Razer lacks an optical drive. The Razer Blade was popular for its unique power adapter that combines the power cord and Thunderbolt cable into one unit, allowing gamers to easily pack up their system for transport. The Razer will initially be available in one model, with a Core i7 processor. The 14 inch gaming laptop is powered by a 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7-4700HQ processor with Turbo Boost Technology up to 3.4 GHz, 16GB of RAM, and dual hard drives consisting of a 512GB solid-state drive and 7200rpm 500 GB hard drive for higher performance. The high performance is driven by the GeForce GTX 870M graphics card with 6GB DDR5 VRAM for an ultra-smooth gaming experience.
The keyboard features bright green backlighting, allowing gamers to play even in the dark. Razer highlights that this is done without sacrificing battery life as the laptop can last up to 8 hours on a single charge. The Razer also has a Killer DoubleShot game networking technology which delivers wired and wireless networking speeds up to three times faster than normal WiFi.
The system can be configured with either an 11 or 14 inch screen, measures less than an inch thin, weighs under six pounds, and features ultra-low-profile mechanical switches for the best gaming performance.
The Razer has a 1-year limited warranty and is available for $1,999.99.

That turned out to be false, and the Razer is actually a slimmed-down version of its predecessor. However, with many rumors of new hardware on the horizon, it isn’t unreasonable to expect something sooner rather than later.
