With Razer announcing the Razer Core external graphics dock at CES, it was a sure bet that the next Blade would also be compatible, and right on cue, Razer’s lineup which supports their external graphics dock has doubled. The overall finish is the same, but closer inspection reveals the addition of a USB-C port with Thunderbolt 3 as well. Razer has shaved a bit of weight off of the package, and it is now just 4.25 lbs / 1.92 kg, down from 4.47 lbs / 2.03 kg on the previous generation. The exterior is very much the same design, which is not a bad thing. Today Razer is announcing an update to the Blade which brings some nice additions to one of the best built notebooks around. It is one of the thinnest and lightest gaming laptops around, and yet it still packs in a NVIDIA GTX 970M GPU. This 0.70”, or 17.8 mm thick notebook is built from a solid aluminum chassis, CNC milled and finished with a matte black finish. The 2015 Razer Blade was a nice evolution in the history of Razer’s 14-inch gaming notebook lineup.
