While major gaming manufacturers like MSI, Aorus, and Asus have already announced their respective Pascal lineups, Razer has been sitting in the backseat with its outdated Blade Pro 17 and Blade Stealth and Maxwell and Skylake hardware. Hopefully, this is all set to change later today as the manufacturer is currently livestreaming an event on Twitch to gather public attention on some potential new products and announcements.

Catch the livestream through the source link below and our related news pieces to come. Announcements include the world's first ultra-low profile mechanical keyboard and a new 17-inch Blade Pro at just 0.88-inch thick claimed to be a "desktop on a laptop".

Shipments begin worldwide next month for a starting price of $3699 USD for the Blade Pro. European users who order the Blade Stealth will receive a free mouse and mousepad worth 109 Euros. The refreshed Blade Stealth, Blade, and Blade Pro will be the new backbone for Razer moving forward in the laptop world.
