Razer Blade (The first Gaming Laptop): Full Review – Part 1

Razer’s first full-on gaming laptop, Razer Blade, is here and is up for grabs at $2799. The company showcased it first at the Consumer Electronics Show 2012, Las Vegas. Now that it has hit the shelves, following is a review of the new device.

As obvious from the first view of the new laptop, it has some new features that have not been seen in any other notebook to date. First off, the Razer Blade is hardly cheap; $2,799 places it at the higher end of gaming laptops. Regular laptop shoppers would quake in their boots at those prices, and rightfully so. However, the Blade does incorporate some design and technology that make it a design piece of sorts.

It’s a bit like a collectible Nike shoe: not completely practical, but sexy for a certain kind of person. The matte black, solid-metal construction has an attractive if fingerprint-collecting appeal, and the Blade does have some solid specs, with a 2.8GHz dual-core Intel Core i7 processor (3.5GHz in Turbo mode), Nvidia GeForce GT 555M graphics, 8GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD, and a 17.3-inch 1,920×1,080-pixel display.

The specs are in the details as the company said that the laptop is purely built for gaming and pretty intensive at that one. However, the shape and the secondary screen that works as a track-pad are some of the features that distinguish the laptop from other competitors.

The shape is attractive, even for a normal laptop that would expand its wings to look beautiful in the crowd. It is slim for one and has a matte-black finish that is icing on the coherent design. The keyboard is flamboyantly backlit with green LEDs, giving it a more alien-like look.
