In short, this is the game we’ve all been screaming for: Razer’s refresh of its flagship gaming laptop Blade now ships with 10th Gen Intel Core H-series processors and new RTX graphics from Nvidia, along with Nvidia’s new RTX graphics. ‘a multitude of screen options. In fact, there are a total of nine new configurations for the Razer Blade 15 split between the Base and Advanced models.

We’re not going to go through all the different small specs, but the main thing you need to know about the base model is that it has a 6-core Intel Core i7-10750H processor and graphics options that range from an Nvidia GTX 1660 Ti to an Nvidia RTX 3060. The advanced model starts with an 8-core Intel Core i7-10875H processor and an Nvidia RTX 3070 or RTX 3080 with up to 16GB of video memory.

The version we are most excited about is the $ 2,499 model which combines an 8-core processor and Nvidia RTX 3070 graphics with a 2560 x 1440 resolution IPS display with a 240Hz refresh rate. This is the first time that we’re seeing QHD screens on a mainstream gaming laptop, and with the power of Ampere finally coming to laptops, it should deliver pretty high FPS.

The Razer Blade 15 is now available for pre-order direct from Razer and will be available for retail on January 26.
