The Razer's 14-inch Blade gaming laptop received another upgrade for faster performance. After the system's graphics was updated to GeForce GTX 1060 GPU based on Nvidia's Pascal architecture last September, Razer updated its CPU for a Kaby Lake Chip.

From the previous Intel Core i7-6700HQ, a 2.6GHz to 3.5GHz Skylake chip, Razer Blade laptop is now equipped with an Intel Core i7-7700HQ processor, a quad-core part clocked at 2.8GHz to 3.8GHz. It is not a big change, but the new processor makes the gaming laptop's performance faster than before.

The Kaby Lake processor is produced using a 14 nanometer manufacturing process technology like the Skylake processor. Breaking with Intel's previous "tick-tock" manufacturing and design model, the Kaby Lake represents the optimized step of the newer "process-architecture-optimization" model. As reported by Beebom, Intel was originally planning on updating from Skylake to Cannonlake, by using a 10nm process, but due to delays the company releases another "tock" instead, which is the Kaby Lake.

Razer Blade also updated the gaming laptop's RAM by swapping the 16GB of DDR4-2133 RAM with a DDR4-2400 memory with the same capacity, but slightly faster. A 4K Ultra HD 3840x2160 pixel display option with multi-touch support alongside the full HD screen can also be enjoyed.

Aside from the changes of the Razer's Blade's processor, RAM and high resolution display, some of its features remain unchanged from the 2016 model, like the USB-C Thunderbolt 3, USB 3.0 ports, HDMI 2.0 video and audio output and 3.5mm audio jack. Razer upgraded the Blade's system many times, but its physical appearance remains in its original design and shape.

This new Razer Blade full HD model is now available for order on the company's website for $1,800. In March, this laptop will roll out worldwide with 256GB, 512GB and 1TB PCIe-based SSD storage.
