Razer just added a Blade 15 to their gaming laptop lineup. In addition, the Razer Blade 16 and Blade 18 are now available with an RTX 4060 or RTX 4070 laptop GPU. Since Razer uses the same names for their laptops, the latest Razer Blade (2023) gaming laptops are powered with the latest 13th gen Intel Core mobile processor and NVIDIA’s RTX 40 series laptop GPU. That’s the important thing to remember. The Blade 15 (2023) with an RTX 4060 or RTX 4070 laptop GPU is what’s really new in this announcement since Razer already announced the Blade 16 and Blade 18 early this month. Check out more details about the new Razer Blade 15, including its features, specs, pricing, and availability, from the official news release below.
Razer Introduces new Blade 15: “Experience Ultimate Portability and Power”
A brand-new Razer Blade 15 – continuing its storied legacy of pushing the boundaries of thin and light 15″ gaming laptops – is now available. This ultra-portable gaming machine is powered by the latest 13th generation Intel® Core™ i7 13800H processor and NVIDIA®’s newest GeForce® RTX 40-series GPUs, up to the RTX 4070. Enhanced vapor chamber cooling and thinner 0.05mm exhaust fins provide the exceptional thermal control needed to pack this level of performance in a laptop that is 25% smaller than the Blade 16.
The Blade 15 places portability at the forefront. As the thinnest Blade in the 2023 line, it weighs less than four and a half pounds and delivers up to over six hours of battery life from its 80Wh battery. The 16:9 QHD 240Hz display provides smooth, sharp visuals with a 2.5ms response time and 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. The Blade 15 is easily upgradeable, accommodating up to 4TB of storage using an extra M.2 slot and up to 64GB DDR5-5200MHz memory, allowing users to keep pace with even the most demanding games and tasks.
In addition to the new Razer Blade 15, the recently launched Blade 16 and Blade 18 are now available equipped with RTX 4060 and 4070 GPUs as well. These configurations round out the full line of the new Blade 16 and Blade 18 laptops.
Pricing and Availability
The new Razer Blade 15 comes with a manufacturer’s suggested retail price starting at $2,499.99. Meanwhile, the Blade 16 and Blade 18 start at $2,699.99 (MSRP) and $2,899.99 (MSRP), respectively.
