Razer Blade 2016 With Upgraded Specs, Lighter Weight Launched at GDC 2016

Razer earlier this year launched Blade Stealth notebook for gamers with high-end specifications. After a couple of months at the onset of Game Developer Conference 2016, it now has launched the fifth edition of its Blade gaming laptop with upgraded innards, a lighter weight, and lower price. The new Blade laptop comes in two configurations – 256GB storage model at $1,999 (roughly Rs. 1,34,700), and 512GB storage model at $2,199 (roughly Rs. 1,48,000). The pre-orders have already started and the shipping is expected to start by next month.

Both the variants of the new Windows 10-based Razer Blade laptop feature 14-inch Igzo touchscreen display with 3200×1800 pixel resolution and are powered by sixth generation Intel Core i7-6700HQ processor (four cores, eight threads, 2.6GHz base frequency, 3.5GHz burst frequency), clubbed with 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and Nvidia GeForce GTX 970M graphics processor with 6GB of VRAM – twice the video memory that was present in the previous model.

The gaming laptop is compatible with Razer’s Core enclosure for desktop graphics cards. It supports USB Type-C Thunderbolt 3 connectivity along with Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth v4.1, and Micro-USB 3.0.
