At under 14 inches wide, 9.3 inches deep and a ridiculously tiny .66 inches high, the 4.1 pound machine Razer is presenting at a special event in San Francisco today is small enough that our own Kirk Hamilton, currently attending the event, should be able to slip it under his shirt before he leaves.
Slightly slimmer than the .68 tall Macbook Air, Razer has managed to pack a whole lot more power in the new Blade than any laptop with a similar form factor has ever dreamed of. It's sporting an Intel Haswell processor, 8 GB of ram and a Nvidia GeForce GTX 765M with 2GB of GDDR5. The smaller size means it's got to rely on an SSD for storage (128GB, 256GB or 512GB), but a frugal gamer should be able to keep a handful of titles loaded at even the smallest size.
