    Good work!
    Is good to have all that info in one file and this table should be on wikipedia like the macbook pro.

    Thanks!

    Basically they only upgrade the video card. That's disheartening considering the significant price jumps.

    This is slanderous. They also remove storage space.

    Lol, I don't see how Razer can be blamed for the lack of progress by other component manufacturers. They've probably selected the best processor & GPU combo that fits into a particular power envelope.

    I agree with the removal of a second SSD slot being a disappointment though. Other manufacturers like Aorus manage to shoe-horn a second slot in and it's greatly appreciated... sure, Razer will claim that the Blade isn't supposed to be "user serviceable", but when selling to enthusiasts, one must expect tinkering ^_^

    [edit] But yes, looking across the rows of my spreadsheet is what convinced me that I definitely don't need a new Blade! At least not till 2016... ;)

    They make a hefty profit on the upgraded storage, definitely in their best interest to dissuade tinkering. Mine is out of warranty at this point, however. I suppose it's a ticking time-bomb. :)

    I still want to know what the 2.27 system BIOS changed and why we can't have it. I guess we'll never know.
