In the world of gaming laptop , the Razer Blade 's new (2012 ) brings some things to the table that you can not find anywhere else . Trackpad and display marry innovative Switchblade interface , and the blade offers unrivaled portability in a slim profile and weight that can lead you to actually pick it up and take it with you - something that the largely stationary gaming laptop can not claim . Portability comes at a price , however , both in terms of its cost and the lack of an optical drive . If you can pay , however , you really the owner of the gaming laptop has no problem going wherever you want to play .
Design
The Razer Blade (2012 ) has an aluminum unibody design that looks very much like a black painted Apple MacBook Pro 17 - inch ( late 2011) . It has the same slim yet durable construction , and not - so - gentle hard edge along the edge of the palm rest . The lid has a bright green glowing Razer logo , which stands out sharply against the plain black lid .
The most notable aspect of the Blade (2012 ) is its portability , which puts the other 17 - inch gaming laptops to shame . Measuring 0.88 by 16.8 by 10.9 inches ( HWD ) , the blade weighs only 6.6 pounds , and has a slim 0.7 - pound adapter . Contrast this with the Asus G75VW - DS71 , which is about two inches thick and weighs over 9 pounds ( 12 if you include the AC adapter ) . If anything, it is actually closer to the Alienware M14x R3 weight , which weighs 6.4 pounds , but there is only a 14 - inch display .
Being so much slimmer and lighter than the average 17 - inch gaming laptop is a real boon for gamers on the go , but it has some compromises . For example , the edge (2012 ) has no optical drive . While that may not be an issue for the gamer who rely on steam or similar services online game , it really put a cramp in the style of anyone should want to buy a game disc , load up an older game , or you need an optical drive to use the software , or enjoy movies on disc .
