Razer has launched a new model for its already excellent Blade 15 gaming laptop. Said to be the most affordable and best-performing gaming model, the new Blade 15 Base is a piece of art. Powered by Core i7-10750H, the 15.6-inch model is available for pre-order at just $1,499. The display has a mind-blowing 120Hz of refresh rate and comes with full-HD resolution.

The devices come with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti and 16GB of RAM on the performance side. It has a 256GB of SSD storage along with an open M.2 slot. The manufacturer is offering two USB 3.2 Gen 2, two USB-C 3.2 Gen 1, and one HDMI 2.0 port.

The new Base model specs are the same as the previous one, but with the display difference. The $1,599 cost model comes with a 144Hz display. But for those who feel that the 256 GB of SSD isn’t sufficient, the Blade 15 Base model of 512 GB SSD comes with just $100 more costly than the 256 GB variant.
