I'm Scott Stein and this year is the razor blade for teen razors newest gaming laptop addition to a landscape that was pretty experimental before this you had some crazy gaming tablet that came out the razor edge they also had the razor blade before this which had a touchscreen a little doohickey on the side here called the switchblade qi that allowed you to touch and click at the same time didn't have a lot of games that supported it so what now for razor well a pretty traditional gaming laptop this really kind of looks like a MacBook Pro Retina display dipped in black and made available for your Windows 8 pleasure and that's not such a bad thing it's all aluminium it's really sexy looking it's compact it's pretty thin and it packs very new processor technology a quad core Core i7 4700 2hq processor 2.2 gigahertz and it's also got nvidia geforce gtx 765 m graphics 2 gigabytes that's a lot under the hood here and it performs as well as you'd expect considering those specs eight gigs of ram and it plays games very very well there's no real compromise here it plays games like BioShock Infinite Metro last light really smoothly maybe not as nicely is that super high-end gaming rig but look how thin this is the song that can pack into a backpack and go with you and also it would be your everyday laptop which is a really nice direction for Razer to go into the price is expensive it's $17.99 for this base configuration with only 128 gigabyte SSD storage if you want more you're gonna have to pay up 2:56 cost $2000 and 512 costs 2300 but still you can actually upgrade the drive in here yourself it just voids the warranty and apparently there's a second Bay let's get to some of the downsides on this well first of all there's no touchscreen I don't know why but gaming laptops now are for some reason ditching touchscreens and this razor blade 14 is part of that world it is a 1600 by 900 display no touch and the screen quality is probably the least impressive among any high-end top that we've seen recently the viewing angles not that great the other downside here is again so little storage on board and the ports are limited there's three USB 3.0 HDMI and that's it no Ethernet no SD card slot even but you're getting good battery life here really good performance really compact size and a traditional form and at least the processors and the graphics are up to date razors onto something here just get that screen a little bit better and you probably have a world beater in the gaming laptop space I'm Scotts time and that's a little look at the razor blade 14 now available pretty hot little number
