New Sharp Razer Blade

The World’s Thinnest Gaming Laptop is the new Razer Blade.

The 14-inch Razer Blade is a compact version of the larger Blade, measuring just 0.66 inches thick, and weighing in at 4.1 lbs.  One of the changes that has been made is that the touchpad has been moved from the right side of the keyboard to under the keyboard right in the middle… you know, the “normal” place for a touchpad.

The one drawback of this device is that the display is 1,600×900 pixels, not 1080p which is a bit questionable, especially considering the price.  The Razer website lists prices at $1799.99 for 128GB, $1999.99 for 256GB, and $2299.99 for 512GB.

Regarding game performance, CNET has reported, “ BioShock Infinite ran at 47.1 frames per second at native 1,600×900-pixel resolution (UltraDX11), and 91.4fps at 1,366×768 and medium graphics settings. The more demanding Metro: Last Light ran at 16fps at 1,600×900 resolution and high graphics settings. In short, the Blade isn’t the fastest gaming laptop around, but it handles mainstream games nicely.”

All in all, the specs seem impressive for a laptop this size.
