Razer reveals its latest 14-inch Blade gaming laptop at GDC
At GDC on Tuesday, Razer announced that it is releasing the fifth generation of its popular Blade gaming laptop. The new edition will reportedly offer significant performance improvements over its predecessor from 2014 including an Intel Core i7 running 16GB of DDR4, a GeForce™ GTX 970M GPU powered by 6GB of VRAM, 802.11 AC wireless connectivity and a PCIe SSD. Razer managed to cram all that hardware — not to mention a 3200×1800 QHD+ display and Chroma backlit keyboard — into a CNC-milled aluminum case that’s less than 3/4 of an inch thick and weighs just 4.25 pounds.
And with the release of the its marquee Blade Stealth, Razer is dropping the price on the Blade from $2400 to an even $2000 for the 256GB capacity (it’ll be $2200 if you want the 512GB drive upgrade). What’s more, the Blade will be compatible with the new Razer Core as well, though you won’t get the $100 discount offered with the Stealth. You can pre-order the Blade from Razer’s website starting today. They’ll begin shipping in April.
