Razer on Tuesday announced a new Blade laptop, completely rethinking the way its plus-sized laptops look. Past iterations of the bigger Blade laptops came with chunky bezels leading to a reduced display, but the new Blade takes the opposite approach, fitting a 15.6-inch display in a super compact body.
According to Razer, the new Blade will come with multiple versions of the display, including a 4K (touch) option and a Full HD model (with a matte finish) that features a 144Hz refresh rate. That’s a feature carried over from the Razer Phone, although that one sports a 120Hz refresh rate.
The Blade’s bezels are just 4.9mm thick, reaching all the way to the corners, occupying 85-percent of the display area. This a welcome addition, as Razer kept around a version of its Blade laptop with huge bezels. It’s good to know it’s listening to fans who pined for reduced bezels.
