Razer debuts smallest 15.6-inch gaming laptop and Core X graphics

Razer is pushing forward on laptop gaming with a pair of sexy products for gamers. It is unveiling a new version of the Razer Blade gaming laptop, which the company describes as the world’s smallest 15.6-inch gaming laptop. And it is launching a new Razer Core X external graphics enclosure, which can boost the gaming performance of the laptop to desktop levels.

Both are follow-ups in the family of products to the recently launched Razer Blade Stealth and Razer Core V2 External Graphics Enclosure. But now Razer is taking advantage of the latest improvements in Nvidia’s MaxQ power-savings technology to build a smaller laptop, and it has brought the price of the graphics enclosure down dramatically, from $500 to $300. Both products are aimed at people who aren’t sure if they want a workstation or a battlestation.
