The new second-generation revision to the Razer Blade, announced today at PAX, has the same 0.88-inch-thin, 6.6-pound design, crisp, matte 17.3-inch 1,920x1,080-pixel display, and experimental touch-screen Switchblade UI touch pad, but a vastly different set of specs under the hood, as well as a lower price.The fixed-configuration second-generation Blade comes with an unspecified third-gen quad-core Intel Core i7 processor, Nvidia GeForce GTX 660M (2GB) graphics, 8GB of RAM, and a 500GB 7,200rpm hard drive with 64GB solid-state drive (SSD) cache acceleration.
In comparison, the last version of the Blade had a 2.8GHz dual-core Intel Core i7-2640M CPU, Nvidia GeForce GT 555M graphics, and a 256GB SSD. The key drawback of the last Blade was its graphics performance: games didn't run as well as on higher-end gaming laptops. The new Blade's specs make it look much more equivalent to other higher-end gaming laptops.
The switch to a hybrid 500GB hard drive doubles the storage of the Blade from its previous 256GB capacity. Other features include a built-in HD Webcam, 802.11 A/G/N Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, an expanded set of three USB 3.0 ports including powered-off USB charging, and what Razer claims are optimized speakers and quieter fans.razer blade
