Yesterday, we reported that OEMs were on the verge of releasing GeForce RTX 3080 Ti-powered laptops, NVIDIA's latest mobile GPU. On cue, Razer has listed the Blade 15 and Blade 17, both available with up to an Intel Core i9-12900H. Alternatively, the company offers the pair with the Core i7-12800H, another Alder Lake processor with six performance cores and eight efficiency cores.
Currently, the Razer Blade 15 starts at US$3,699.99 with an RTX 3080 Ti, or €4,099.99 in the Eurozone. Both configurations come with a Core i7-12800H though, along with 32 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD. For some reason, Razer offers a 360 Hz FHD panel in the US and a 240 Hz QHD one in Europe. In comparison, the Blade 15 with a Core i9-12900H and an RTX 3080 Ti will set you back €4,399.99 in Europe and US$3,999.99 in the US.
By contrast, the Blade 17 starts at US$3,999.99 and €4,299.99 with an RTX 3080 Ti GPU, respectively. This time, Razer equips both configurations with identical hardware: a 240 Hz QHD display, a Core i7-12800H processor, 32 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD. Incidentally, the Core i9-12900H is a €400 upgrade in the Eurozone and a US$300 one in the US. Both configurations receive a 144 Hz UHD panel, too.
The Razer Blade 15 and Blade 17 with RTX 3080 Ti GPUs should start shipping on February 22. The same applies to all Alder Lake-based models, both in Europe and in the US.
