The new Razer Blade gets a 1440p display option, new Nvidia GPUs

The Razer Blade 15 is one of the new gaming laptops coming out of CES 2021 that combines a QHD screen with Nvidia’s new RTX 30 series mobile GPUs. In short, it’s the pair we’ve all been screaming for. The Razer update to its flagship Blade gaming laptop now comes with 10th generation Intel Core H series processors and Nvidia’s new RTX graphics, as well as several screen options. In fact, there are a total of nine new configurations for the Razer Blade 15 divided between the basic and advanced models.

We are not going to dwell on all the different small specs, but the main thing you need to know about the base model is that it features a 6-core Intel Core i7-10750H processor and graphics options that come from an Nvidia GTX 1660 Ti to a 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 16 GB of video memory.

The version we’re most excited about is the $ 2,499 model that combines an 8-core Nvidia RTX 3070 graphics processor with a 2560 x 1440 resolution IPS screen with a 240Hz refresh rate. This is the first time that we’ve seen QHD screens on a conventional gaming laptop, and with the power of the Ampere finally reaching the laptops, it should deliver some pretty high SPF.

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