Title: Razer launches slimmest 15.6-inch Blade gaming laptop yet
Post by: Redaktion on May 22, 2018, 19:39:46
Razer managed to squeeze the 15.6-inch systems inside the older 14-inch Blade chassis. This makes the new Blade gaming laptops some of the slimmest models on the market to date. The refreshed specs include Intel's gen 8 hexa-core CPUs coupled with 16 Gb of DDR4-2666 RAM, and, depending on the budget, users can choose among a GTX 1060 or 1070 Max-Q GPU, FHD or UHD displays and 256/512 GB SSDs.

They finally made the Blade available to more EU countries like mine, Denmark. But they didn't make the 4k an option here, or in other bigger countries like France, which sucks!

Any word on when the 4k options will be available in more countries?

This VS the Aero is going to be really interesting.
On PAPER, Aero has a lot going for it though with the larger battery, SD card slot, ethernet port and (I think?) more storage space.

I would still choose Aero 15 because of the battery, x2 NVMe SSD slots, ports selection, customer service, global warranty and price.

I'm buying from Denmark too, a little worried about the costumer service tho...

Any previous experience? :)

QuoteThe GTX 1060 variants are only 0.68-inch thick and weigh 4.56 lbs, whereas the GTX 1070 varaints are slightly thicker at 0.68-inch and weigh 4.73 lbs.

Slightly thicker, the same thickness, ok..

I bought aero 15 and really dislike the filmsy build quality and horrible keyboard and touchpad. It was really loud under stress.  But this might not be entirely bad since it's not throttling.
