Razer Blade 17-inch Gaming Laptop

The New Laptop Razer Blade 17-inch Gaming Laptop Razer announced this week that its much anticipated Razer Blade 17-inch gaming laptop is delayed past the expected holiday deadline and won’t likely arrive until mid- to late January 2012. The good news is the Blade will now come with an SSD instead of a traditional HDD at no additional cost to buyers. Razer is also handing out a custom-designed mouse for free as an apology for the delay.
LAS VEGAS Razer’s long-awaited entry into the notebook space is finally here in the flesh, and it was worth the wait. Today at CES 2012, the company, which is best known for gaming accessories like mice and keyboards, showed off the Razer Blade, a 17-inch notebook that, at 6.6 pounds and .88 inches thick, is light enough to actually carry with you on a regular basis.
Inside, the Razer Blade has a powerful 2.8-GHz Intel Core i7 2640M quad-core processor that can turbo boost up to 3.5-GHz and 8GB of RAM. A Nvidia GT 555M graphics chip provides enough oomph for even the most demanding games. A 256GB SSD ensures your applications, and especially your games will open quickly. Getting this much gaming power in a system this light is unheard of.

The delay is no doubt disappointing for all the gamers who are eager to get their hands on this incredibly light and thin gaming laptop, which features an Intel Core i7 processor, NVIDIA GeForce GT 55M graphics card, and a unique LCD multitouch panel/touchpad.

Razer’s decision to upgrade the laptop’s drive from a 320GB HDD to a 256GB SSD means the Blade will perform even faster. Even better, though, the upgrade won’t cost you a cent. An SSD might normally raise the laptop price by $300 to $500, but Razer is keeping the price of the Blade at $2799.
