This is very close to a perfect body for a gaming laptop. The Blade is gorgeous and well built. There is zero flex anywhere. It runs current games on high graphics settings at good-to-acceptable framerates. The trackpad is more responsive than the majorit

The editors didn't like
The mostly awesome trackpad is almost completely submarined by its idiotic buttons. Battery life is hugely improved from your standard gaming rig
But you're getting nowhere near the six hours claimed by Razer. The screen is sub-optimal
On color performa
But you'll never need 3K resolution
Expensive
Shorter battery life than last year's model. That's never good
The 1080p model only comes in a single configuration. What if I want more storage space than 256GB?

Not user upgradeable
Limited port selection
A lackluster low-resolution
Nontouch display doesn't fit the high-end design. The baseline 128GB SSD for $1
800 isn't sufficient for a gaming PC
You'd better pony up for the 256GB or 512GB model
Runs very hot. High-resolution display may actually hamper performance. Shorter battery life than previous model reduces portability
Graphics performance comes up short
Runs hot and loud
Not inexpensive
Runs hot while gaming
Limited viewing angles
Lacks SD card slot
The battery life is worse than last year's model's. Adding more SSD storage can turn this into a pricey laptop
Runs incredibly hot
Below-average battery life
Gets very hot. Discrepancy between graphics and display capability
Price tag suggests beefier components.
Dimmer screen is a letdown
As is the price hike. What
No page up/page down keys? One key's backlight died during testing
Poor battery life
No SD card slot
Some games don't work at full resolution
Sub-par screen
Burning hot while gaming
Touchpad can be finnicky
A bit slow to boot. Pricey. No touchscreen. Still no SD card reader
Middling screen and audio quality
More expensive (and less powerful) than other machines

Abstract: The new Razer Blade is as sleek as last year's model. With its lid closed, it resembles a slab of black aluminium. It is like the cool dude among the bevy of flashy gaming laptops competing for your attention.Its understated design invites comparisons wit...
Abstract: By shrinking the screen size to 14 inches and slimming down the laptop, Razer made the Razer Blade a truly portable gaming machine.But this was not without major downsides, namely the low screen resolution – just 1,600 x 900 pixels – and lack of in-plane ...
Wellbuilt, compact design, Good performance, Good keyboard with cool green backlight, Killer WirelessN connectivity
Display is substandard, Trackpad is erratic to use, Connectivity options can be better
Gaming notebooks used to be big and bulky machines, but notebooks like the new 14-inch Razer Blade and MSI GE40 are changing the way we think about them. The two are genuinely compact and portable machines, but yet pack enough horsepower under the hood to...

The Razer Blade is certainly a great looking device that packs a significant punch for a gaming laptop. But it's held back by an average screen and heating issues, which may not make it the most appealing purchase to some people. Not to mention that it'...

le nouveau Razor Blade bénéficie d'un design inchangé, fin et magnifique, avec en prime un écran tactile haute définition de 3200 x 1800 pixels boosté par une puce graphique de dernière génération.
la qualité graphique se paye par une autonomie réduite par rapport au modèle 2013, prix prohibitif si vous optez pour la version avec disque dur SSD à plus forte capacité
Abstract: Initié par Intel, le modèle « ultrabook » commence à faire son chemin. Car en dehors des ordinateurs conçus pour l'ultra-mobilité, d'autres styles de machines tendent à s'amincir de manière surprenante. Et la finesse est désormais là où on ne l'attendait ...
Beaucoup plus léger et plus fin que ses concurrents, Puissance générale (CPU et GPU), Colorimétrie correcte, Silencieux, Audio de qualité
Taux de contraste limite honteux (100:1), Chauffe (jusqu'à 56°C par endroits), Pas de lecteur de cartes SD
Le Razer Blade 14 pouces est une bonne idée mal concrétisée. Sa légèreté et sa finesse sont des atouts indéniables face à ses concurrents. Concurrents avec lesquels il rivalise sur le plan de la puissance générale et de la qualité audio. Il est malheureus...
