Razer Announces New Blade 15 And 17 Laptops With Nvidia’s RTX 3000 GPUs

Now that Nvidia’s RTX 3000 series for laptops is official, OEMs are starting to unveil laptops that make the most of it. Razer is one of the first companies to do so with refreshed Blade 15 and 17 models, both of which feature Nvidia’s latest GPUs.

The new Razer Blade 15 and 17 bring Nvidia’s RTX 3060, 3070, and 3080 GPUs to the table with higher refresh rate displays and bigger batteries. The Razer Blade 15 gets two models, a basic version, and an advanced version, whereas the new Blade 17 is a standalone laptop.

The Razer Blade 15 and 17, as the names indicate, have 15-inch and 17-inch displays with screen resolution ranging between 1080p and 4K. Another noteworthy change is the addition of a 1440p or QHD resolution with high refresh rates, as this was previously missing on Razer laptops.

Screen refresh rate starts from 60Hz and goes all the way to 360Hz for higher-end variants and response times are as low as 3ms and 2ms. There are also touchscreen variants for each of the models with Corning Gorilla Glass for protection.

You get Intel’s 10th generation Core i7 processors in each of the laptops, but RAM and storage options vary between 16GB/32GB DDR4 and 512GB/1TB NVMe SSDs on different variants. The base model of the Razer Blade 15 only gets the Nvidia RTX 3060 GPU, whereas the advanced model and the Razer Blade 17 also get RTX 3070 and 3080 options.

As for I/O, all laptops have three USB A ports, 2 USB C ports with one supporting Thunderbolt 3, one HDMI 2.1 port, a Gigabit Ethernet port, an SD card reader, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

The base model of the Razer Blade 15 gets a 65WHr battery, the advanced model gets an 80WHr cell, and the Blade 17 features a 70.5WHr battery.

The Razer Blade 15 base model and advanced model will cost $1699 and $2499 respectively. The Razer Blade 17, despite being a higher-end laptop, will start at $2299. All laptops will be available for sale starting January 26.
