Throughout this review I’m comparing and contrasting the Razer Blade to a MacBook Pro, most likely the product you would also be considering for making music or at least have as a reference point. Intel® Core™ i7–4720HQ – Quad-Core processor with Hyper Threading 2.6GHZ / 3.6GHz (Base / Turbo).NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 970M (3GB GDDR5 VRAM).14.0″ IGZO QHD+ 16:9 Ratio, 3200×1800, with LED backlight, capacitive multi-touch.Specs are impressive on the Razer Blade QHD+ model, and comparable to a top-of-the-line Macbook Pro: Software: Painful from a Mac-only perspective, but not that big of a deal when you get past the OS and into production/DJ applications.Performance: The processors were more than competent at most audio processing, but the drivers left me wanting more.Hardware: Sleek and adequately powered, this is comparable to a Macbook Pro in a Windows personality.For those that are already on the Microsoft end of the fence – stay tuned for a more FL Studio-centric review soon. Keep in mind this is all from the perspective of a Mac user considering a switch to a Windows machine for Ableton Live. In this review, I’ll cover three general areas a DJ or producer would probably care the most about when looking for a new laptop. As a long time Apple user locked into Ableton Live, what would life be like if I left the comfort of my silver cloud? The 14″ Razer Blade caught my eye as a viable alternative for DJing and production, with solid specs and a black finish that is perfect for the stage and studio. Most DJs simply get the latest MacBook and call it a day – what’s to review? Well, with Steve Jobs’ once-renegade company looking more like Microsoft, and some producers preferring to run Windows machines, you might be looking beyond the glowing apple for processing power. Yes folks, this is a laptop review, rare for these parts indeed. ![]()
