Manufacturer of computer gaming peripherals and technology company Razer unveiled at CES 2016 for its most compact and cheap gaming laptop Razer Blade. New Razer Blade Stealth-sized ultrabook, but adding options in the form of Razer Core, the system begins to deliver the performance of a full stationary gaming PC.
It is difficult to imagine that under the body with a total thickness of an ultrabook-13.1 mm and weighing 1.25 kg hides a very powerful gaming filling. But it is true. Perhaps, with the exception of a graphics card that can go in a separate kit when connecting the Razer Core, but more on that later.
Under the aluminum housing, depending on the selected configuration, may be hiding a dual-Core Intel Core i7-6500U with a frequency of 2.5 GHz or 3.1 GHz, SSD capacity from 128 to 512 GB, and 8 GB of dual channel RAM. Options 12.5-inch display also offers two. The first could be QHD resolution (2560 x 1440 pixels). Second — UHD resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels). Both offer multi-touch support.
According to the glorious traditions Razer, the Razer Blade ultrabook keyboard can glow with rainbow colors. All thanks to the built-in “technologies” Razer Chroma. Each individual key can be highlighted in a unique color. Those who like to play in the dark it can please, especially when you consider that the backlight brightness can be adjusted to not as much conspicuous.
Responsible for integrated graphics chip Intel 520. It will be enough for most modern games at low settings. But Razer wasn’t it, if I didn’t offer his fans something else. And that something is called Razer Core.
Razer Core is essentially a separate enclosure for powerful discrete graphics cards, the thickness of which would occupy two expansion slots in a desktop case. Box has four USB ports, one high speed LAN port and two independent from each other zones of the backlight. After all, we are talking about Razer, after all.
You have to do is connect Razer Core (with pre-purchased a powerful graphics card) via Thunderbolt cable to the connector on the Razer Blade Stealth and starts the real madness of the beyond FPS and other pleasures, which can provide a powerful computer. For convenience, you can even connect a Razer gaming mouse and keyboard from the same company, and you no longer need a desktop computer.
Sale Razer Blade and Razer Stealth Core will be made through the official stores and Razer will start in January. The price is relatively affordable (if not the dollar, of course). The cost of Blade Stealth starts at $ 999. The top-end configuration ultrabooks will be offered for $ 1599. The price of Razer Core is not yet announced, but given that essentially it’s just a box with wires, it should not be. But, again, in the West. We have products Razer has always had a somewhat inflated value.
Pre-orders for the Razer Blade ultrabook Stealth is already accepted in the official web store. Deliveries are scheduled to begin on January 29. Delivery Razer Core will start in a more uncertain first half of 2016.
