Razer Blade has been leading the pack for gaming computers. Their range of laptops has gained an excellent part of the market. The release of the latest 2013 Razer Blade signals another venture for the company. Their latest draws comparison to Apple's Macbook Pro with Retina display. With the features almost similar to one another, will Razer Blade give Apple a run for its money?

Which laptop is better?

When considering gaming capacity at any frequency, the new Razer Blade may seem a logical choice. Putting the gaming consideration aside and inspecting the specs, the choice is actually more complicated. Razer Blade and MacBook Pro are head to head.

For many users, it remains a puzzle why the Razer Blade should be compared with Macbook Pro when Apple never catered to gamers. Likewise, gamers never went for Macbook products for their needs. Getting hands on with the new Razer Blade should tell why. The device is very similar to Apple's offering that many users will think Razer Blade released their own version of Macbook plus with Retina Display.

Similar features include the smooth touchpad, backlit chiclet keyboard, curved edges and slim form-factor. Apple's valuable device sticks to its excellent svelte at just 0.71 inches (1.8cm) thick. However, the Razer Blade beats that. The gaming laptop is 0.66 inches or 1.67cm think when closed. It features a 14-inch screen smaller than Macbook Pro. Apple's laptop has a 15.4-inch screen. This is one of the primary differences between the two.

Both devices sport curved edges and an aluminum body. There is a small recess at the center front allowing users to stick their thumb to lift the screen easily. One of the most iconic features of the Macbook line of laptops is the touchpad. Apple made sure it is specifically soft for their users. That same experience, however, is now possible with the new Blade. The Blade's touchpad is just as smooth and soft though the plastic buttons do not click well enough and are thin. Users may have a hard time clicking on the buttons instantly.
