The new 14" Blade holds up very well under real world conditions, but a fair warning for those investing in a long term gaming solution: you can't replace or add to the Blade's RAM configuration.

While it's not the pinnacle of portable gaming tech, the standard 14" Blade packs enough power to run modern PC games at respectable framerates using max or near max settings. Depending on which Pro Model you're looking at, expect to spend between $2,300 (128GB SSD + 500GB HDD) and $2,800 (512GB SSD + 1TB HDD). Interestingly, the Pro comes with a weaker GPU than the standard Blade. Shipping in April, this large, 17-inch version of the Blade has a 1080p screen, but also a unique touchpad with a full color display next to the keyboard that can be used independently from Windows to browse the web or watch YouTube.
For $2,400, you can get the 256GB QHD+ Touch model, which features a hi-res, 3200x1800 touchscreen, 16GB of RAM, and the same GPU and CPU configuration found in the 1080p model. The latest 14" 1080p Blade costs $2,000, and comes with an Nvidia GTX 970M GPU (3GB of VRAM), a quad-core Intel Core i7 4720-HQ CPU (2.6GHz base/3.6GHz turbo), 8GB of RAM (DDR3L-1600MHz), and a 256GB SSD (SATA M.2).

Unsurprisingly, Razer's back with new Blades for 2015, and today we're looking at the thinnest of the bunch: the 14" Full-HD model. Neatly organizing that much hardware into such a sleek chassis, without damning it to overheat, is a commendable feat, and while other manufacturers have come very close to matching Razer's handiwork, it's still the leader of the pack. This isn't the case with the Blade, which tears through games with Nvidia's second best mobile GPU and a decent Core i7 CPU from Intel. Portability is valuable, but it would be meaningless if it came at the cost of performance. No, they aren't the most powerful machines on the market, but they are the thinnest.
