The smallest of the series stands out for being one of them the most powerful ultra gaming laptops in the industry.

Size small, yes, but with features that a user can expect from a premium laptop, such as CNC anodized aluminum chassis; the high resolution and refresh rate of its IPS screen with FreeSync Pro support; state-of-the-art connectivity with Thunderbolt 4, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2; Famous Razer keyboards, excellent performance, programmable and backlit; an improved audio system with THX support and details such as a 1080p webcam with Windows Hello support in security and authentication tasks.

The graphics part is not left behind and offers a dedicated NVIDIA to tremendous RTX 3080 Ti able to move any type of game. The main configuration is complemented by 16GB DDR5 (4800MHz) memory and a 1TB PCI Ge4 SSD. You can buy it on the Razer website or in the retail channel at a discount from the official prices.

Razer Blade 15

It is the intermediate model of the series and offers the best balance between mobility, productivity and visualization capacity. Many features of the Blade 14 remain, such as the thin and light aluminum chassis, advanced connectivity with everything you need, or cropped screen bezels 15.6 inches with panels to choose from FHD with the industry’s highest refresh rate (360 Hz), QHD with 240 Hz and G-Sync technology to impressive 4K OLED.

The manufacturer offers several variants to suit the needs and budget of each user. The most attractive is the one that offers the mentioned three display panels in a configuration using the twelfth generation of Intel processors (14-core Core i9) and a dedicated graph GeForce RTX 3080 Ti from NVIDIA.

Razer Blade 17

The largest laptop from Razer is a real “beast”. 17.3 inch display diagonal and, like other models, it is available in many versions depending on screen resolution and refresh rate, processor, graphics, installed memory or storage capacity.

The model we’re suggesting and from which this special article originated isn’t the latest in Razer’s catalog, but it is real deal for price and configuration and offers the general characteristics of the range, starting with the manufacturer’s typical laptop design with a unibody chassis milled and carved from a single block of aluminum, an anodized matte finish to protect against external scratches, anti-fingerprint treatment and the green color logo treatment for which the brand is known.

The version that concerns us mounts the screen IPS with native QHD resolution and high refresh rate 165 Hz which allows you to fully enjoy your favorite games. Of course, it would be a shame to use this ‘machine’ only in games, and it must be said that it can take care of any computing task, for work at home or even as a workstation.

It must be said that you can run professional applications simply by switching specialized game drivers to those of NVIDIA Studio. Factory display calibration (depending on model) and 100% sRGB color gamut support to improve color accuracy and quality will help with these types of creation tasks.

As for the internal hardware, the configuration we suggest includes a CPU Intel Core i7-11800H which with its 8 cores and 16 threads, a working frequency of up to 4.6 GHz and a 24 MB cache will ensure great performance. The dedicated graphics card is a GeForce RTX 3060 with 6 GB DDR6 VRAM of dedicated memory and all advanced NVIDIA technologies. This CPU and GPU combination features a new cooling system that maximizes heat dissipation and keeps temperatures under control for maximum performance.

It is accompanied 16 GB of RAM Dual channel DDR4 3200MHz and 1TB SSD connected to PCIe Gen4 interface for internal storage.

To highlight the high-flying sound system with four speakers tuned and certified by THX, compatible with 7.1 surround sound and will show its worth in games or multimedia. A webcam with 1080p resolution and four microphones will help you with high-quality video conferences.

To say that it has an additional M.2 slot to double the storage and additional memory slots to support up to 64GB of RAM. All this with a very simple update, ideal for cleaning and future maintenance.

Finally, I will mention a component that is ultimately essential for a laptop keyboard. Here, Razer leverages peripheral expertise to create a quality keyboard with full RGB customization and greater immersion in Razer Chroma, the world’s largest lighting ecosystem for gaming devices, offering 16.8 million colors, countless patterns and effects. Dynamic lighting in games. And to top it all off, it has a glass-enhanced touchpad with Microsoft Precision, the best touchpad driver.
