Razer Blade 15 - Mercury White Limited Edition
The new Mercury White limited edition of the Razer Blade 15 offers fans a contrasting aesthetic to other gaming laptops, and packs in the power and performance that critics have raved about since the laptop's introduction earlier this year.

The Razer Blade 15 Mercury White Edition will come in a matte white finish with black USB ports and a non-illuminated, tone-on-tone Razer logo. The Razer Blade line traditionally offered a matte black finish, green USB ports and an illuminated green Razer logo.

The Razer Blade 15 has dominated the gaming laptop landscape with its innovative vapor chamber cooling, individually lit RGB backlit keys and compact CNC aluminum chassis. Powered by 8th gen Intel Core i7 processors and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or 1070 Max-Q design graphics, you can go head to head with the competition at esports tournaments with sheer gaming prowess on tap.

Limited quantities will be available for purchase in Q4 2018 as an exclusive direct from Razer in the US and Canada, and at selected retailers in China.

Razer Co-founder and CEO Min-Liang Tan said the following: "With the Razer Blade 15 we created the world's smallest 15.6-inch gaming laptop and set a new precedent for the ideal mobile gaming experience.
