Three Razer Blade families get new versions at once – with a combination of Intel and AMD processors
We’re used to getting product updates from Razer in drips that span the entire year, but it seems that the launch of new laptop processor families from Intel and AMD at the same time, along with new graphics cards from NVIDIA, together provided a reason to break a routine – and launch updates for most products The Blade brand in one go.
Razer Blade 14, which received an impressive comeback after several years of hiatus last year, will continue with a similar line in the use of AMD processors alongside NVIDIA graphics cards – the new octagonal Ryzen 9 6900HX and GeForce RTX 3070 Ti along with GeForce RTX 3080 Ti on the other side.
In these compact gaming mobiles you will find 2,560 × 1,400 pixel IPS screens with a refresh rate of up to 165 Hz and support for FreeSync Premium, NVMe storage in PCI-Express 4.0 standard terabyte volume, DDR5 memory at 4,800MT / s by default , Windows 11 system, advanced Wi-Fi 6E connectivity and more, in a nice minimalist metal casing with a thickness of only 16.8 millimeters and a reasonable weight of 1.78 kilograms, which will not prevent the company from allocating a 100 watt power casing for the RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3070 Ti inside.
Performance is undoubtedly expected to get a boost ahead of last year’s Blade 14 models, but prices have also swelled accordingly – and now the Razer will require $ 2,600 as a base for a model with the RTX 3070 Ti and $ 3,500 tough (and somehow still relatively cheap, as you’ll find below) With the 3080 Ti, when those in a panic will get a chance to compromise with a $ 2,000 model that includes a GeForce RTX 3060 and a simpler 144Hz screen.
Razer Blade 15 models will be offered with Intel’s Alder Lake processors from the H family, with the Core i7-12800H being its 14 cores featured in most versions and the Core i9-12900H with 14 cores and slightly increased operating frequencies available in the most expensive configuration. These models will be available with one terabyte PCI-Express 4.0 NVMe drives and 4,800MT / s DDR5 memories of 16GB or 32GB, 6W Wi-Fi connectivity and Bluetooth 5.2 wireless connectivity, a single Thunderbolt 4 connection plus five other USB ports , An audio array with eight speakers, an 80-watt internal battery and RTX 3070 Ti or RTX 3080 Ti graphics cards.
Consumers will enjoy a choice of several different display technologies, with an intermediate version with RTX 3070 Ti for $ 3,000 available with a 1080p IPS panel at up to 360 Hz or with a QHD IPS panel with a display speed of up to 240 Hz – and the The RTX 3080 Ti will be offered with this pair of panels in addition to the 4k IPS panel which is capable of providing a display speed of up to 144 Hz, at prices ranging from $ 3,700 to $ 4,000.
Razer Blade 17 models will be the most sophisticated, but also the most expensive accordingly – with a price of $ 3,200 for models with Core i7-12800H and GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, NVMe storage of one terabyte (with an additional slot available for independent expansion), memory 16GB DDR5, 82 watt internal battery and 1080h screen at 360 Hz or QHD screen at 240 Hz, and prices between $ 4,000 and $ 4,300 for models with GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, one terabyte of storage, memory 32GB DDR5 and screens with resolutions between 1080p and 4K and refresh rates of between 360 Hz and 144 Hz.
As mentioned, if you thought the Razer Blade 14 with the RTX 3080 Ti for $ 3,500 was an expensive business – the Razer Blade 17 is here to illustrate that it could be even more expensive.
