Is "Cheap" part of its name or are you actually trying to suggest that $1600 is inexpensive?

In the second paragraph, "The base model’s comparatively cheaper price should allow more gamers to play on Razer’s machines, though it still isn’t a budget machine. "
So cheap compared to other razer laptops, not the market.

It's funny, I saw the the headline and I thought for 1/2 a second that they had entered the budgeting gaming laptop market, then is left my head while clicking on the link. I'm with you $1600 isn't cheap. Our company president who isn't short of a bob or 2 would sniff at spending that much on a laptop.

Should of been "cheaper" not "cheap". Current title is clickbait, a cheap gaming laptop by Razer would have been newsworthy for sure. Still stuck paying the Razer tax on this one.

I miss the 14" laptops... was it really necessary to go to a larger size?

Someone tell Andrew cheap laptops would be at $400-700 not starting from $1600. LOL what a joke.

According to notebookcheck, "The new Blade 15 is just 10 mm (~0.4”) wider than its Blade 14 predecessor and just as deep, but 0.7 mm (~0.03”) slimmer." Similar footprint plus more screen made the 14 redundant. Also, I'm guessing 15.6 inch 1080p panels are cheaper than the less common 14 inch. They peobably would have to charge us more for a 14 inch Blade with the new bezel design.
