Razer's popular 14in gaming laptop gets an Intel Kaby Lake refresh. The Blade gaming laptop has become a firm favourite among Razer's legion of fans since its inception way back in May 2013, and it's clear to see why. Whereas rival solutions tend to favour garish designs that lack a certain level of attention to detail, the 14in Blade has the rare ability to look and feel like an Ultrabook while delivering the performance of a gaming machine.

And it's testament to the sleek chassis design that, four years later, it still comes across as a modern and stylish piece of kit. Measuring a hair under 18mm thick and employing aluminium construction throughout, the frame is both svelte and strong and continues to position the Blade as one of the best-looking gaming laptops around. Finished almost entirely in black and garnished with a few elements of bright-green trim, it can be viewed as a MacBook on acid.
