Razer Questions & Answers
Razer Blade gaming laptop, what you think?
Follow Discussion
The location of the touchpad looks promising, I even asked myself "Why Razer are the first company to do it this way?", but then I realized it's 17-inch and it lacks the numeric keypad which is fair loss for a gaming rig. It does pack top-of-the-line components, but $2800?
So, what you think, are you getting one?

The touchpad display and the morphing keys are the most innovative thing I've seen in notebooks for quite some time. The idea of changing the regular touchapad to a touchscreen display is brilliant and the morphing keys are every gamer's dream. At least for me ;).
I think it is too much... it is interesting that they put the touchpad on the right side, but i don`t think that it is going to be vert useful to have a display there during gaming :] what are you going to do peek under your hand constantly? Good luck being a walking frag :] The concept with the morphing keys is very old ( I believe that "Art Lebedev" produced something similar more then a year ago). The specs are great but i think the price is exaggerated a little bit.
You should have listened to the video more carefully. The touchpad can run in "screen mode" when you're using a mouse, and in "touchpad mode" when you're out and about and don't have anywhere for a mousepad.
Otherwise, yes, you'd obscure the view with your hand.
Too expensive for just one design...
For the money they should've gone a bit further and put at least SSD drive, besides the fact that the HDD is just 320GB? And no optical media in a 17-inch full HD display? I guess it's all about the fancy design and touchpad, which btw is unusable for a left-handed gamers.
Radical!
Way too expensive, but awesome none the less.
The review of the Blade is out - beautiful, thin, full hd notebook.
