Archive.org versionThe Razer Blade 15 Base model certainly looks and feels like a member of the Blade family. The chassis is very high quality with a solid construction thanks to the CNC milled aluminium body. It’s a little thicker than the advanced model but it’s an overall small footprint which makes it a very portable laptop.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
