I have long been a Razer Blade fan. A fan blade, if you will. The sleek matte black aesthetic, all gaming MacBook chic and understated style meant the Blade 15 and latterly the Blade 14 have been my go-to gaming laptop objects of desire. That was, until the last generation. Razer has been resting on its laurels, and I said so when I made the obvious point that Razer's Blade gaming laptops had lost their edge just about this time last year.
While overall I've been more or less okay with the company essentially retaining the same look for its lineup for many generations of machine—that aesthetic is one of the main reasons I've been so enamoured with them—they have, like me, gotten rather more portly over the years.
