Razer Blade The World’s First True Gaming Laptop

Razer wants to convince you that the future of PC gaming lies in a $2799 laptop, the first true  gaming laptop and the pretenders to the throne that’ve come before might’ve been laptops capable of playing games, but they believe that the Razer Blade is the first to offer real portability. The gaming-centered design is really clear in the touchpad area of this laptop and the touchpad is to the far right corner and it’s matched with a set of ten macro keys that are customizable for specific games and tasks…………….

 

The world’s largest PC-maker Hewlett-Packard just announced their intention to explore the separation of its PC business with PC manufacturers increasingly abandoning design and technology in lieu of outsourcing and cost-cutting, the PC industry has seen a severe dearth of innovation in recent years. Gaming consoles have also taken advantage of this innovation slump in the PC industry to garner attention from game developers and gamers alike, to the extent that now PC versions of cross-platform games are often sub-par ports of their console counterparts. Razer, the world leader in high performance gaming hardware, introduces the Razer Blade – a full aluminum chassis gaming laptop featuring true portability, incredible performance and an all-new revolutionary user interface. With the introduction of the Razer Blade a feat of modern-day systems engineering and technology, Razer is reinvigorating technological and design innovation for the entire PC industry and encouraging gamers and developers to return to the PC as the primary gaming platform of choice. Mobile systems developed for gaming today compromise on portability and form factor for game performance. While such machines run games well, they are over 2 inches thick and can weigh more than 10lbs. The Razer Blade measures 0.88 inches thin, less than half that of current mobile gaming systems, and weighs only 6.97lbs, achieving a balance between portability and performance  making it the world’s first true gaming laptop.

 

Developed in partnership with Intel, the Razer Blade features a fast Intel Core i7 processor and a high performance NVIDIA GeForce graphics processor. The hardware was designed to run the most demanding games of today without sacrificing the laptop’s portable form factor. The Razer Blade also does not compromise on screen size as it comes with an incredible LED– backlit high-definition 17-inch display. The Razer Blade features the Switchblade User InterfaceRazer‘s multi-award winning, highly intuitive interface technology. The interface is comprised of 10 dynamic adaptive tactile keys for easier access of in-game commands and an LCD capable of two modes: one mode that displays in-game information when a mouse is in use; and another mode that functions as an ultra-sensitive, multi-touch panel designed for gaming on the go. “The Razer Blade was designed to give gamers a laptop they could truly use on the go,” said Min-Liang Tan, CEO and Creative Director, Razer. “Its sleek, lightweight aluminum construction makes it the thinnest 17-inch gaming laptop available today.” “We’re proud to co-develop this revolutionary gaming laptop with Razer,” said Mooly Eden, VP and General Manager of the PC Client Group, Intel. “Utilizing our fast Intel Core i7 processor, the Razer Blade delivers top-class gaming performance in a portable form factor.” “Powered by an advanced NVIDIA GeForce GPU with award winning NVIDIA Optimus technology, the Razer Blade has the muscle to run cutting edge games with intense graphics while still offering amazing portability,” said Rene Haas, General Manager of Notebook Products, NVIDIA. “The Switchblade User Interface on the Razer Blade is a revolutionary innovation that truly defines the new standard for gaming experiences on a laptop,” said Min-Liang Tan.
