The Blade is Razer's first crack at the laptop gaming market, and it looks stunning. Its dark aluminum chassis has only the glowing Razer logo adorning the lid, a clear indication that the company has taken its cues from Apple and Voodoo. The interior specs sound just as lovely: A discrete Nvidia GPU and Intel Core i7 CPU. Unfortunately, as of this post, there's only one configuration available?no customizing. The Razer Blade all sounds well and good, but when its Q4 2011 release date finally hits, gamers are going to have to ask themselves if the whole package is worth the $2,799.99 price tag.
The Blade's 17-inch screen display outputs true 1080p HD. For its size, the chassis is relatively light, weighing only 6.9 pounds compared to other 17-inch gaming laptops like the Alienware M17x that weighs in at 9.8 pounds. The Razer Blade is also extremely thin, measuring about .88 inches thick. Part of the reason for its slim form factor is Razer dropped the optical drive, a smart move as most gamers nowadays get their fix from digital retailers like Steam.
The Razer Blade's true popping feature, however, is its user interface. The full-size chiclet keyboard swaps out the usual numeric keypad for 10 dynamic adaptive tactile keys, which gives you easy-access to hot-key commands. There's also an LCD pad underneath it that displays in-game information when you're using an external mouse or switches to a multi-touchpad for navigating.
Inside the chassis, the Razer Blade features a 2.8GHz Intel Core i7-2640M processor, 8GB of DDR3 RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce GT 555M (2GB) discrete graphics chip with Optimus technology, which will help extend that 60Wh battery's life span. There's 320GB (7,200rpm) of hard drive space, a bit on the small size. It comes with 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 3.0 (for connecting wireless peripherals), Ethernet jack, a USB 3.0 port, two USB 2.0 ports, and 3.5mm headphone and mic combo jack.
