Razer has just updated their Razer Blade gaming laptop that is now boasting a bigger display and a faster performance.
The Razer Blade now sports a 15.6-inch display which is bigger than last year’s 14-inch but the notebook still has the same footprint as the gaming company reduced the large bezel on the display of the notebooks.
Speaking of display, the Razer offers a 15.6-inch 1080p display with 144Hz Refresh rate and also a 4K touchscreen display. It sounds reasonable to have a 4K display without the ultra-buttery smooth 144Hz refresh rate as the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 or GTX 1070 can’t fully maximize a 4K display with 144Hz refresh rate.
And of course, the Razer Blade now sports the latest 8th Generation Intel Core i7-8750H Processor with 6-cores/12 threads.
