The Razer Blade Stealth is like a MacBook and gaming laptop combined, and is on sale for $500 off

TwitterFacebook

A boss gaming setup at home is the dream. Double screens, a high-end GPU, some neon lights to set the mood — maybe a fan to combat the sweat gathering from sitting there for six hours. The works.

Unfortunately, not everyone’s current situation warrants a room dedicated to gaming — or even a laptop dedicated to gaming.

Good thing there’s a best-of-both-worlds alternative: The Razer Blade Stealth 13.3-inch laptop can tackle both gaming and business needs on the go, and it’s on sale for $500 off at Best Buy.

At 13.3 inches, this Stealth Ultrabook is Razer’s baby of the bunch and a revamped version of the 12.5-inch model. It shed the clunky bezels, got a compact aluminum design (stealthy, as some may say), and has a bigger, 13.3-inch screen (measured diagonally) fit into the same body as the 12.5-inch wide predecessor. This 13.3-inch screen isn’t 4K like the 12.5-inch model, but a 12.5-inch screen can feel cramped. And anyway, this Razer’s 3,200 x 1,800 (QHD+) display is so crisp that you probably won’t notice the lack of 4K. Don’t worry, it’s still a touchscreen. Read more…

Razer Phone 2 is a gaming smartphone built for ‘Fortnite’ addicts

TwitterFacebook

Almost a year after releasing its first gaming-focused smartphone, Razer is throwing its hat back into the arena. Behold: the Razer Phone 2.

For the uninitiated, Razer is a powerhouse in the game peripheral market, and the company’s second smartphone cements its place as an industry leader. The Razer Phone 2 is built specifically for people who love video games and want to do more of it on a touchscreen — namely with titles like Fortnite or PUBG Mobile.

To handle this, the new Razer Phone, which I got a chance to try out for a few minutes, is said to perform 30 percent better than the previous generation thanks to its Qualcomm 845 Snapdragon processor and Adreno 630 GPU.  Read more…

Razer unveils a cheaper Blade 15 gaming laptop with a hybrid hard drive

TwitterFacebook

Razer’s premier gaming laptop is getting a big update.

Less than six months after releasing the Blade 15, Razer is already rolling out an update to its gaming laptop line with its new Blade 15 Dual Storage edition. 

If you couldn’t tell from its name, the Razer Blade 15 Dual Storage edition comes with two drives, a smaller SSD for performance and a larger hard drive for capacity. The Blade 15 Dual Storage edition is a little bit thicker than the earlier Blade 15 models because of this additional 2.5-inch drive, but Razer took advantage of the extra space by adding in a gigabit Ethernet port to improve connectivity. For a gaming laptop especially, this is more than an acceptable tradeoff.  Read more…
