Razer Blade (2017) review
Stronger and longer lasting – and now in 4K
Stronger game performance ; Longer battery life ; 4K display option
Still pricey ; Trackpad buttons need to go ; Nothing massively new
The 2017 Razer Blade is stronger and longer lasting than last year’s, making that steep price tag all that much easier to justify. But, as the Blade begins to out-pro the MacBook Pro much less comparable gaming laptops, we'd like to see more original...

Razer Blade (14-inch, 2017) review: Razer Blade is the MacBook Pro of gaming laptops
Razer updates its 14-inch Blade laptop for a higher-end take on slim gaming.
The Razer Blade has an attractively slim chassis, sharp display and terrific keyboard. It packs Intel's latest-generation i7 processor and great graphics. It's VR-ready.
It's expensive, and configuration options are limited. The fans are loud and it gets hot when gaming. There's no Ethernet port.
The Razer Blade is an elegantly subdued mainstream gaming laptop with great performance.

Razer Blade (Early 2017) Review
The minimally updated Razer Blade shares last year's design and most of its components, but the upgraded processor and improved battery life make it the best ultraportable gaming laptop you can buy.

long battery life ; decent gaming performance ; innovative high-contrast 120 Hz display ; decent cameras ; decent stereo speakers ; remained comparatively cool ; accurate touchscreen ; very fast Wi-Fi ; plenty of RAM

In the olden days, gamers were locked up in their dark rooms until the Game Boy, the Razer Phone’s great-great-great-grandfather came along. Today, the Razer Phone allows for mobile gaming on the road at 120 FPS with great stereo sound to boot. The...

Razer Blade (2017) UHD Laptop Review
Christmas tree in UHD. A fully configurable RGB keyboard backlight is one of Razer's most distinctive features. In time for the holiday season, Razer has released a UHD variant of the Kaby Lake and GTX 1060-powered Razer Blade notebook, best to be...
rigid high-quality aluminum case ; thin and sleek ; good Wi-Fi performance ; very good matte display ; Thunderbolt 3.0 + HDMI 2.0
susceptible to finger prints ; very loud under load ; no SD card reader ; significantly shorter battery life than FHD model
In our verdict of the FHD model we have already concluded that the Razer Blade is a premium device. The case is exceptionally well-made, performance was more than decent, and battery life was at an expected level. Surely, this design would find its...

Razer Blade 2017 (GTX 1060, 7700HQ, Full-HD) Laptop Review
I Am What I Am. The Razer Blade combines great performance with good mobility and a healthy dose of design. The result is an appealing notebook which weighs in at less than 2 kg and measures less than 20 mm thick. The price is not for the faint of the...
solid aluminum chassis and high build quality ; slim with upscale looks ; Chroma Keyboard with many options ; good WiFi performance ; matte IPS display ; Thunderbolt 3 + HDMI 2.0 ; very good battery life
prone to fingerprints ; very loud under load ; no SD card reader
It certainly appears to us that Razer has continued to improve the Blade since our first review and eliminated various weaknesses in the process. What remains unchanged is the outstanding chassis, which - as far as the build quality and the finish is...

Razer Blade (2017) Review Tim Schiesser
I'm a big fan of Razer hardware. Their peripherals are top notch, in particular their outstanding Deathadder mice, while their laptops have surprised me in terms of how solid and well built they are. Razer seems to know what gamers are after and the...
Gaming-capable hardware in a slim, light form factor. Outstanding aluminum unibody chassis with Thunderbolt 3. Full-RGB keyboard. Decent battery life.
Expensive. Loud cooler. 1080p display is ok, flat display bezels are not.
