Razer a gaming hardware maker, introduces the Razer Blade gaming laptop today. The Razer Blade is a full aluminum chassis gaming laptop featuring true portability, high performance, and an all-new user interface. Razer says that mobile systems developed for gaming today compromise on portability and form factor for game performance. While such machines run games well, they are over 2 inches thick and can weigh more than 10lbs. The Razer Blade measures 0.88 inches thin, less than half that of current mobile gaming systems, and weighs only 6.97lbs, achieving a balance between portability and performance.
Developed in partnership with Intel, the Razer Blade features an Intel Core i7 processor and a NVIDIA GeForce graphics processor. The hardware was designed to run the most demanding games of today without sacrificing the laptop's portable form factor. The Razer Blade comes with an incredible LED-backlit high-definition 17" display.
The Razer Blade features the Switchblade User Interface, Razer's multi-award winning, interface technology. The interface is comprised of 10 dynamic adaptive tactile keys for easier access of in-game commands, and an LCD capable of two modes: one mode that displays in-game information when a mouse is in use; and another mode that functions as an ultra-sensitive, multi-touch panel designed for gaming on the go.
"The Razer Blade was designed to give gamers a laptop they could truly use on the go," said Min-Liang Tan, CEO and Creative Director, Razer. "Its sleek, lightweight aluminum construction makes it the thinnest 17-inch gaming laptop available today."
"We're proud to co-develop this revolutionary gaming laptop with Razer," said Mooly Eden, VP and General Manager of the PC Client Group, Intel. "Utilizing our fast Intel® Core™ i7 processor, the Razer Blade delivers top-class gaming performance in a portable form factor."
The Razer Blade has a $2,799.99 price-tag. It will ship in Q4 of 2011.
