Razer is updating its line of gaming laptops with a new 14 inch model sporting an Intel Core i7-7700HQ quad-core processor, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics, and 16GB of RAM.
The new 14″ Razer Blade laptop is also available with a choice of a 1920 x 1080 pixel IPS matte screen or a 3840 x 2160 pixel capacitive multitouch display.
Prices for the new Razer Blade laptop start at $1900, and the laptop is available from the Razer store starting today. Additional retailers will begin selling the notebook in the coming weeks.
The notebook features three USB 3.0 ports, a Thunderbolt 3/USB-C port, HDMI 2.0, a headset jack, and 7.1 channel audio output via HDMI.
There are also stereo speakers, microphone arra, a 2MP webcam, and Razer’s programmable lightning for the backlit keyboard and trackpad. There’s also support for adjusting the controls of the fan on this laptop.
While the notebook has a pretty hefty 70 Wh battery to keep its high-power CPU and graphics chips running, the notebook measures just 0.7 inches thick and models with a 1080p display weigh 4.1 pounds. The Ultra HD display option adds a little weight, bringing the total to 4.3 pounds, or just under 2 kilograms.
Razer offers 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB solid state storage options.
The new Razer Blade laptop is an update to a Skylake-powered version that launched about half a year ago alongside a Kaby Lake-powered Razer Blade Stealth 12.5 inch notebook (which features Intel HD graphics and requires an external docking station if you want to use NVIDIA or AMD graphics).
Razer also launched a higher-perfomance (and higher-priced) Razer Blade Pro laptop in October.
