Razer Blade 2014: The sleekest gaming laptop gets a big graphics boost and high-res touchscreen, too

2014-05-08
hi I'm Scott Stein and if you're looking for a sleek gaming laptop there are options out there the Razer Blade 2014 is precisely that thing I usually think gaming laptop and you thinks I'm big and bulky the Razer Blade is sleek it looks like a Retina Display MacBook Pro it is thin it is all metal and is black it is very cool-looking it turns heads and this actually came out last year in a 14 inch model and before that there was a razor blade in a 17 inch model that had a touchscreen and touchpad off to the side the switchblade UI now that's still around in the razor blade Pro but the razor blade is this 14-inch version last year we loved the fact that it was sleek had great battery life had good performance but that screen was not so great now it's back again and this screen is a 3200 by 1800 really crisp great viewing angle display and guess what else it has touch yep it's got touch which is very rare in a gaming laptop can be really great if you're using Windows 8 it's a really nice plus not really that important for gaming but that new resolution display really really good and that's not all this add this also has the new Nvidia graphics it is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 870 graphics inside it also has a quad core i7 processor eight gigs of RAM is what it comes with and the only configuration option you can pick from is how much memory is in here in terms of storage space you can pick a 128 256 or 512 gig SSD the 128 it's pretty small for a gamer and it's also not a cheap laptop you're talking $21.99 going up to 26 99 so pretty pricey what you're getting though is a little gaming powerhouse this plays games really nicely sounds great looks great really good keyboard really good form it's got three USB 3.0 ports what's the drawback well the price and battery life battery life was not spectacular but no gaming laptops got great battery life you wouldn't expect that in selling this then it's about four and a half hours for regular use but if your gaming might only be about an hour and it gets pretty hot pretty fast you can of everything in this world if you want something that's thin and powerful for gaming there's really no other option out there the Razer Blade 2014 is beautiful and it performs well I think it's a really good improvement I'm Scott Stein and that's a look at the Razer Blade 2014 edition now available
