Razer has unveiled new versions of its Blade 17 and Blade Base 15 laptops.
Razer Blade 17 refresh and Blade 15 updates
The two new models were officially unveiled on Wednesday, with Razer highlighting the addition of new 11th Gen Intel processors and Nvidia's 30-series laptop GPUs as a key part of the refresh. Both the Blade 17 and Blade Base 15 will feature THX Spatial Audio built into the laptop itself, which Razer says should make for more dynamic audio in games and movies.
The Blade 17 will come with an Intel I9-11900H processor, featuring eight cores and 16 threads. Razer says the updated CPU will clock in at a max turbo of 4.90GHz, giving it a new level of performance compared to previous Blade 17 laptops. The computer maker has paired the i9-11900H with up to an Nvidia RTX 3080 and a 4K, 17-inch touchscreen display. The Blade 17 will also feature an anti-fingerprint resistive coating around the chassis to help reduce smudges on the exterior design.
Razer says the Blade 15 Base will be powered by an Intel i7-11800H processor and an Nvidia RTX 3070 graphics card. It will also have dual PCIe 4.0 SSD slots for expandable storage, as well as faster memory and processor speeds. The company also has a high-end model with an RTX 3080 GPU and a more powerful processor. In terms of display size, the Blade 15 will have either a 144Hz 1080P display or a QHD 165HZ display for users to choose from.
