Razer Blade..The Beauty is NOW the Beast!!!

The Razer Blade

Since the release of the first Razer Blade, it became an instant success, a lot of Razer fans have eagerly waited for its release. After its success, Razer's CEO Min-Liang Tan has decided to push the envelope to the almost limit of building of whats impossible, possible. The new Razer Blade is loaded with state-of-the-art equipment which can be found on some desktops and laptops, it also has surpassed its competitors in many aspects. The reason why the Razer Blade surpassed its competitors is because of its extreme form factor being the thinnest and most powerful gaming laptop out there.

If I where to compare this laptop to a car, this one is like the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport of laptops.

Enough chit-chat, I will be showing the specs of the first Razer Blade and the new Razer Blade.
