Based on what I'm seeing for benchmarks on another thin gaming laptop with the 3080 (Gigabyte Aero https://www.notebookcheck.net/Gigabyte-Aero-17-HDR-YC-Laptop-in-review-Debut-for-Nvidia-Ampere.517066.0.html) , it seems to me when even compared to the Razer 17 Pro 2070 Super Maxq, it's not a leap above in performance. The mobile 3080 is heavily modded from the desktop version and when running at the lower power needed for a laptop, it just doesn't seem that great. I'll be interested to see when they test the Razer 3080, but I'm tempering my expectations.

It’s actually not quite thin, 17 inch is blade pro class. However it depends also thermal solution and OEM setting gpu power target that might make it looks not great compared to last gen mobile GPUs. Keep in mind that 17 blade pro has bigger cooling room and higher gpu tgp compared to other maxq laptops that put 2070maxq equals to some 2080maxq (this had tech reviewer, Jarrod tech also mentioned in one his blade pro review) with lower tgp and maybe worse cooling solution, that’s how mobile gpu performs.

Does the Razer Blade 15 Advanced have the optical switch keyboard?


Spoke with a very helpful person on customer support and the answer is yes, the advanced has the optical switch keyboard. Good news 😉

Are any mercury models being made? I was at least hoping they'd remove the green logo like on the stealth

That sucks...
Still stuck with only black models. The mercury white one we had for one model was so much better looking.
And no one needs 300 Hz... 144 Hz Model with 150 bucks saved would be much better...

And why stuck with Intel? They suck and just produce way to much heat which would be better spend with the GPU.

Anyway, how much TDP do you allow the GPU's to take? With this generation eversthing is down to TDP.

I wish there was a program where is could upgrade your blade by trading in for a discounted price based on what you had but doubt that would ever happen. Also, it still doesn't have the mini display port! big sad

Only Razer could make a laptop stronger than last year's best desktops! 😆

Placed my order for the 15" QHD RTX 3080 build. I expect this to be the best Blade yet at hitting the sweet spot on gaming and productivity (in my case, software development). Really looking forward to the high refresh, high resolution, improved battery life, great GPU.

:smile_::smile_::smile_:

I think this will be something like my 7th Blade :smile_:

Hello friends,

I really like Razer Blade 15 laptops, an excellent compromise between screen size, price, size and lightness.
With the new Nvidia Geforce RTX serie 30 Mobile GPUs.
We have doubled ray tracing performance with DLSS and low power consumption compared to 20 series.

I throw Pink Magic Dust to create a Quartz version. ^ _ ^

Still a beast. Still the best. The all-new Razer Blade 15 now sports the latest Nvidia GeForce RTX 30 Series graphics to take on the most demanding games. Our flagship gaming laptop boasts a buttery-smooth 360Hz FHD display (with 240Hz QHD G-SYNC option available) in the smallest 15" RTX gaming laptop body out there. Available for pre-order at Razer.com and RazerStores near you: https://www.razer.com/gaming-laptops/razer-blade

It seems awesome but no razer store near me

Maybe not this one, but I know that I'll buy a Blade to my children when they'll start studying away from home.
So they can keep on playing and working with style.
My bad for english mistakes but i try my best.

I'm more jealous of that additional m.2 slot inside haha. My RTX 2080 is still serving well. Short on storage though :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye_:

First 300 hz and now 360 hz, what can you play with that frequency besides CSGO in 720p?

3080 on blade probably around 3070/2080ti performance so it’s possible to run 300fps plus on Minecraft, Devil my cry, valorant, Doom. Beside on Blade15 nvidia told blade 15 3080 on native FHD on these titles closing 300fps here the screenshot.

Hardware is faster changing, next year probably 400 hertz LoL, prepare it:big_grin_:

I do have a question about the QHD display; some specs list it as 95% SRGB, and others list it as 100% SRGB. Which one is it?

Nice catch, I’ll try to find.
