2016 Razer Blade Review

Lisa Gade reviews the 2016 Razer Blade, a 14” gaming laptop with the power of a much larger machine. It's clad in a stealthy aluminum matte black that you could take into a meeting, and weighs just 4.3 lbs. (1.95 kg). For 2016 Razer lowers the price, updates the CPU to 6th gen Intel Skylake, improves cooling, tweaks the Chroma keyboard, uses a more legible keyboard font.
