there are really only two features on
the new razor blade laptop that betray
its origins as a gaming machine the
keyboard still lights up with each key
capable of displaying more than a
million colors across several funky
patterns and there's a glowing snake
logo on the back of the lid now if you
want to masquerade as a non gamer you
can turn the keyboard backlight off and
same with the snake logo or you can
choose to embrace your inner gamer and
crank the keyboard lights up to full
thermonuclear blast take another step
and add Razer accessories like the hyper
luxe mouse pad which can be synced
together into one glorious light show
but none of that matters if this isn't a
great gaming laptop fortunately this new
version takes some pretty big leaps past
the previous model now we've always
really liked the blade for general
gaming chops but the 14-inch display had
a thick bezel that felt kind of dated
and the GPU topped out at an NVIDIA GTX
1060 fine for mainstream gaming but not
exactly top of the line for the new
version of Razer flagship laptop the
display gets a great upgrade to a
15-inch screen while keeping roughly the
same footprint it's also got a very thin
bezel around it and the model I tested
had a full HD 144 heard screen more
importantly the components inside get
updated as well to an ace gen core i7
and up to an nvidia 1070 GPU and to make
sure we notice just how well this laptop
fits in that in the video 1070 while
staying so slim Razer sent a little
attache case along with it what was
inside a graphics card candy no it was a
copy of the blades new vapor chamber
cooling system
