The most noticeable change on this years version of the Razer Blade is the bezel on the 15.6" IPS display, which is looking rather svelte. The display is powered by a GTX 1070 Max-Q and is available in several varieties, a 1080p model with a 144Hz refresh rate or a 4K 60Hz option along with a less expensive 1080p 60Hz if that fits your budget better. The remainder of the internals of the model which TechSpot reviewed were a Core i7-8750H, 16GB of DDR4-2666 and a 512GB Samsung PM981 NVMe SSD. What do you get for your $2400?
"One of the most popular gaming laptops on the market continues to be the Razer Blade. New for 2018, Razer has refined the design and improved the internal hardware to make it even better than before. With the 2018 Blade, Razer is fully on board with the thin bezel revolution."

Also in the Newz(1)! It looks
Also in the Newz(1)! It looks like some windows 7 users(Millions if them that will not have anything to to with that 10 nonsense) has made Intel set up and listen. Now onto AMD with the same Ryzen/Windows 7 support requests also!
AMD you NEED the business, do the same for Raven Ridge Pro Business PC/Laptop APU users because windows 10 is not getting on many users PC/laptops. And that Includes my HP ProBook that came with a windows 8 pro license pre-downgraded to windows 7 Pro at the HP factory. I’ll be moving to 8.1 Pro on that Probook when windows 7 goes EOL as my probook came with a windows 8 license that gives me 8/8.1 Pro rights come 2020 to last until 2023 with some TIFKAM fixing third party shell software installed.
AMD It’s Best to support 7 and 8.1 until they are officially EOL, and Business PC/laptop users expect business class support. Raven Ridge Pro mobile and desktop APUs are for business, as is any Ryzen Pro CPU, SKUs.
From Anandteh article:
“Microsoft limited support for the latest CPUs on Windows 7 back in 2016, which is why AMD’s Ryzen as well as Intel’s Kaby Lake, Coffee Lake, and some other chips cannot work with this OS. Meanwhile, Windows 7 defiantly remains a commonly-used operating system both among businesses and individuals who cannot, or do not want to, jump to Windows 10. In a bid to satisfy demand from such users, it would appear that Intel is prepping a special version of its H310 PCH that will enable operation of its latest Coffee Lake processors on Windows 7. ASUS and GIGABYTE already list appropriate motherboards on their websites, but there are a number of catches.” (1)
