Hardware speculation of the newest laptops of 2014

So Razer has now officially launched their new high end gaming laptops following on with what their target audience wants very thin overpowered gaming laptops in two different models which are hardware improvements over the previous graphics counterparts from either nvidia or amd replacing them with newer models (although my understanding is that nvidia"s new GPU – NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 860M also to be featured in the upcoming Y series from Lenovo rumored appearance and official launch next month April to around May between that time frame) we have a huge beefy kick up the butt for getting a higher resolution panel @ a wooping pixel by pixel count of 3200 by 1800, or 262 pixels per inch—a higher pixel density than even Apple's much-lauded Retina display.

On to the topic of display panels they are also rooting to follow the matte panel screen however I think its an optional verdict (which is good) that they have also added a new display technology IGZO reducing the weight futhermore on a large or small display (IGZO may only be supported on the Razer Blade Pro Seventeen inch gaming model which is too bad)

Razer's bumped the 14-inch Blade from last year's 1600-by-900 resolution up to a crisp 3200-by-1800, or 262 pixels per inch—a higher pixel density than even Apple's much-lauded Retina display. This is only possible because the Blade takes advantage of IGZO (indium gallium zinc oxide) technology, which is also what allowed the iPad Air to shed so much of its predecessor's weight. A welcome side effect? The Blade's contrast ratio also receives a significant bump. Razer claims a 250 percent increase.

Oh, and did I mention it's a 10-point capacitive touchscreen? After all, if you're going to use a Windows 8 machine you might as well have access to a touchscreen of some kind.

Do any gamers really care about ten point multitouch on a display that is as big as the iPhone 5s or maybe slightly bigger

I believe the hard buttons above are an essential necessary add on since it looks the part

It has been stated by PCWorld the most top tier model will be featuring the and I quote

​But a 3200-by-1800 resolution packs a lot of pixels, and a lot of pixels means a higher strain on the GPU. This year's Blade packs a powerful Nvidia GeForce GTX 870M with 3GB of GDDR5 VRAM to account for the new screen, and even then games are only able to run at Medium settings at this new, higher resolution. Or you can bump games back down to 1920-by-1080 and run them at Ultra—your call.

Support for multi monitors using the latest HDMI 1.4a >_> and video output which also includes fullsize Display port no VGA

Now as the title says I will be doing a lite rant or comparison between this laptop to the most anticipated gaming laptops to date

These are the following gaming grade or slim line ultra powerful laptops available and coming out

  • The Lenovo Ideapad Y series (upcoming this year 2014) Lenovo Y50 (15.6”) Lenovo Y40 Touch (14")
    The Apple Macbook Pro (15.4" LED backlit) @2880x1800 pixels (Retina) Scaled resolutions: 1920x1200, 1680x1050, 1280x800 and 1024x640 pixels (13.3") 2560x1600 pixels (Retina) Scaled resolutions: 1680x1050, 1440x900 and 1024x640 pixels
    The Dell XPS 15 (9530) with the lower screen size then the Razer Blade Pro but the same size as the the bigger brother Lenovo model
    AORUS Gaming Laptop X7
    MSI GS70 STEALTH
    GIGABYTE P35K
    ASUS ROG G750JX
    Upcoming comparison coming soon so subscribe to my blog :D
