Hello Brastic,

Please accept my apologies, I am comparing Razer Blade Basic model.

We agree that Razer Blade 15 Advanced Model is the best choice for travel.
Built-in 80WHr rechargeable lithium-ion polymer battery.

But for Streamer, Youtuber having two NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSDs is the most important.
Razer Blade 17 sacrifice battery life and weight for better screen.

It is always a pleasure to chat about different choices that we have according to our needs.
Razer offers so many variations. ^ _ ^


No apologies necessary. The Razer web page is a total mess and the specs they list are very incomplete. I am very ready to replace my aging 2017 Razer Blade Pro and have been looking for a new laptop. If I just needed a work / play laptop, the Razer 14 with a 3080 would be an easy choice. I cannot believe how much power and battery life they put into that laptop. I really like my laptops to have easy docking and Thunderbolt 4 / USB 4 is a must have for me. So I am looking at the Blade 15 and 17 right now. I am thinking that I will wait for the Blade 17 to start shipping on Aug 11 and see how the reviews come out.

I was looking at the 15" Advance 3070 and 3080 and they both have 80Whr batteries. I do see what you are seeing for the Basic and the 3060 laptops. For me, the advance just for the bigger battery is already worth the extra cost.

CPU is 65W at PL1, which, together with the 130W GPU, makes me wonder if the 230W adapter is throttling.


i thought this too… this was almost the razer laptop I bought because I waited from the early 2021 model because the wattage was garbage for the peice and now they do this shiet..

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.

People again not understanding they cheaped out and gave us just 8gig vram on the 3080 compared to last version which was 16gig on the 1080p screen.. all they did was up the watts…

Hello friends,

New Razer Blade 17, it is as successful as Razer Blade 15 with 17" display.
I really like.
Perfect for content creators, streamers, home, work and college.
New Intel Core i7-11800H CPU and 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD are the biggest innovations that justify its purchase.
If you have the cash, want a new laptop, treat yourself. ^ _ ^


The 17" is a bit more than just that. From the Razer store videos, I see that the CPU and GPU get more power. The 3070 in the 15" is up to 105W where the 17" with the better cooling goes up to 130W. I did not see how much more power the CPU gets, but my guess is another 10W or so.

Hello Brastic,

Sorry but you made a reading error while looking at specs in Razer Store.

Personally I recommend Razer Blade 15 if you move around often.
Its screen is smaller, it will consume less.
Also favor OLED technology and low refresh rate.

My only question for the 17" is the battery life. I see that the 17" have a 70Wh battery while the 15" gets a 80Wh battery. When powered from the wall, the 17" should kill the 15" in performance with the extra power to the CPU and GPU and getter cooling. For gaming, these laptops are tethers and that is fine. I still need to get through the day of working and web surfing on the battery. I am hoping that the 17" can be dialed in for 5 hours at lease.

What is the number of RAM bank groups for the 16g models? Is it 4 bank groups (double sided) of 2 bank groups (single sided). I would love to know this since it makes a huge difference in high fps games.

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.

Do we have idea if the SSD is PCI 4.0?

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.


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

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..
