Design and Features
The new Razer Blade 2019 is almost identical to last year’s Razer Blade but when compared it is a little bit thicker, the laptop is about 17.8mm thick and weighs about 2.07 kg, which is good considering the specifications it has. Razor Blade has always had this simple yet appealing design to it that makes it look unique yet not too fancy and complex like other gaming laptops in the market. On the back of the lid is the Razer blade logo that lights up. On the deck is your keyboard surrounded by two huge speaker grills and the trackpad. The keyboard layout of Razer Blade has a very questionable placement of the right “shift” key. In a normal layout the shift key is placed left to the “up arrow” key but in most of the Razer Blade laptops the “shift” key is placed right to the “up arrow” key which makes it a lot more difficult for some people to adjust to a typing pattern that is suitable for this keyboard.

The battery is also one of the best, the only catch here is its high price which can be a problem for many people.
