Would there be a number key pad for 17" laptop?

So we now have 13", 14", 15", and 17" options! And the 360Hz display is an overkill set up

Too big for 17" laptop, not portable option for me

finaly a 17 !

now my Blade pro 2020 beast feels really left behind. Kudos for increasing the power limits! The chassis and cooling solution is more than capable to handle it (I hope the 2020 had those power limits :frown_: )

I am very tempted. I just want to hear about the battery life.

Yup, keypad is a must have in this laptop size (at least for me).

Great with the big screen

Does this laptop have a new coating or some sort of new manufacturing process to reduce the finger print smudging issues?

Assuming it’s using similar coating with new blade 14, it reduces quite nice the finger prints smudges compared to my older black blade laptops but it’s still there.

A real beast. Not in my budget by now but I have to recognise his power. But still lacking a keypad.

I wish I could have bought this a year ago... As a Design student a bigger screen like this has many advantages!

If anyone from Razer is reading this, please enter the CPU and GPU watts into the Blade 17" web page. I only discovered that the new 11th gen 17" laptop support 130W GPU from a Razer store video. I would have bought the cheaper 15" if I did not discover this by accident.

What I don’t understand is… there’s no 3080 option with the qhd, which would be the best option Imop, and also the 3080s are only 8gig vram where if you choose the 4K screen is 16gig? The last models were 16 gig vram with base 1080p screen..

Sweet! Yeah I noticed the new Blade 14 2021 is not as bad with picking up Finger Prints - but god dayum it still gets nasty haha! Been waiting for DBrand to send me a skin but its taking forever

Can anyone answer why this mid version 17 the 3080 card is now only 8gig vram unless you get the 4K version (which is 16gig)… before the 1080p had it.. and also no 3080 with qhd? Wtf is going on razer

This. I also wonder how close the Blade 15 3080 105W is to the Blade 17 3070 130W. With the better thermals of Blade 17, I am guessing that they might be close.

the 360hz display is just a tad bit unnecessary
