The Blade 14 is an impressive machine in every way: it’s fast, stylish, well made, has a good keyboard and a very decent sound system. It also comes loaded with many of the extra features a hardcore gamer would insist on, while still being smart enough to not look out of place in more sober environments.

The Blade Pro 17 is mostly the same as that of the rest of the Blades, with a look and feel that haven't changed in a while. The relatively austere, tanklike metal body remains. The screen bezels have gotten smaller, the ports have changed a bit and the heat venting has moved around, but ultimately it's the same pricey, well-balanced gaming-and-toiling workhorse we've come to appreciate

The Razer Blade 15 is really expensive and worth every penny. Its screen is a marvel, its components are top-of-the-line, its chassis is tough and beautiful, and its performance is without compromise. Buy this and you likely won't need another laptop in two years' time - which makes it something of a bargain, right?
