Very nice review. It should be noted that you can actually upgrade the RAM, wireless, mSATA if you aren't worried about your warranty. There is actually a port on the motherboard and a bay to install a SSD but as far as I know nobody tried installing one yet because we need to find the correct cable.

I have opened my system up there are no seals or markers to show the system has been opened as far as I can tell you just need a mini T6 screwdriver.

 

Nice review; and a very nice unit, too, but not terribly exciting. . . . Terribly exciting will be that oncoming day, which I am sure is rapidly arriving, where it will match or exceed alienware's thickest and best. On this day, I will become an owner.

 

It's a well built laptop but too expensive still. Specially when you consider other gaming alternatives at less price performing much faster at gaming.

Maybe at 2k flat it would make sense, as you would trade off the performance for mobility. But right now it's not only trading performance for mobility, but also paying 20 or more % for less performance, for the sake of being thin.

 

Great review. Maybe Im wrong but it seems that Notebookreview is getting a lot more agressive with new reviews. Very good.

(Now all that needs to be done is changing the layout, graphics and the whole theme on this site. Not the best, atleast not for the articles and the overview)). Then we are good to go.

 

Not to be nit picky but this is actually the third gen of Razer Blade..... Great Review otherwise

 

That's like comparing your MSI laptop to a desktop with 780..... your not only paying more but you get less performance.....

I actually get what your saying, I am just soo sick of people saying its too much bla bla bla... There is nothing else on the Market that competes with it, until there is "MSI GS60 incoming" it's not overpriced.....

It's like comparing a 14 inch laptop to a 14 inch ultra-book and claim it's overpriced.

 

The hardest thing to get used to with the Razer Blade Pro (other than the price tag) is the location of the touchpad. The customizable interface is AWESOME for gaming but I kept moving my hand to the spot below the keyboard where the touchpad is "supposed" to be rather than the spot where the number pad usually resides.

Other than that, I'm looking forward to Razer's continued presence in the gaming notebook market. It's nice to have more choices that aren't bulky, boxy monsters.

 

So, a laptop that's less than one inch thick in which almost every component is easy to replace, the chassis is reinforced enough to survive drops, and the cooling is adequate to run an -xm CPU at 5ghz and the flagship mobile GPUs of three years after its purchase, all for the reasonable price of whatever?

Alienware and Razer target different people, and neither company will succeed in the other's niche.

 

I think it's a very elegant design. A very fine design. The green lights in the keypad this is a useful property.

For a given price point, a thick laptop will always be able to outperform a thin laptop. There's better cooling (critical for mounting higher-performance parts) and making a performance laptop thin costs money (which detracts from the budget for buying the highest-end components for that particular price point). Asking for a Razer Blade that costs X to outperform an Alienware that costs X is asking for the impossible.

 

Blade 14 is near perfect. Just offer a quality 1600x900 screen with 1080p option and drop price $300 and I'm sold. With each iteration they are definitely improving. Just need to work on that price point a little bit. If MSI's GS70 is successful then it will probably force Razer to drop prices because specs are pretty much the same between 17" models minus the Razer touchpad. I do like the idea of a configurable touchpad and buttons, but I don't think I could ever get use to the touchpad on the right.

 

IMPORTANT!


Any of you that have not ordered from Razor yet.

DON'T , I canceled my order after six weeks. Then I saw amazon.com had them. Ordered my Pro on Friday, set it up on Monday.


Amazon.com: razorblade pro

There is the lin.

Don't wait.

I love my new Pro.

 

Hi Spartan... Can you tell me somethinng more about updating the razor blade pro ?

tnx

 

What if you are left handed, do they sale models to left handed people. Also, only a TN panel on a $2k+ machine, are they serious?

 

I'm left-handed and I've always used a mouse with my right hand; I presume I'd do the same with this trackpad-thing. For gaming, it's pretty much presumed that you do, because your left hand is on the WASD keys.

The TN panel may be because so many IPS laptop displays develop ghosting over time (my VAIO Duo 11 certainly has, and the XPS 12 did as well, as has the Retina Macbook Pro). And ghosting is a big problem from a gaming perspective.

 

I had a few left handed friends and they would always use a mouse with their left hand. Then again, gaming on a touchpad is pretty silly, so guess most of the people will use a mouse anyway.

 

really nice the only problem is that it costs as a alienware 17
