- The support emails are lying, the RTX 3070 240hz model is now discontinued, no more are actually on their way to any "warehouse".
- The support emails are telling the truth, but restocking might not happen for a number of months due to container ships being locked up in the LA port or other extraneous limitations.
- The RTX 3070 QHD 165hz model is also now in the same situation of no longer being available for many weeks or months and I can't know.
Razer Blade Pro 17 Availability "Coming Soon"? -- Help Me Decide.
Bottom line up front, I'm trying to figure out what I should do about buying a Razer Blade Pro which is out of stock but I'm being told "more are on their wait to the warehouse". I don't know what to believe. Perhaps someone here has fresh insights for me.
The Story...
[INDENT]So, a week and a half ago I was finally in a position to buy a sorely needed new laptop and I've had my eyes on a Razer Blade Pro 17 for a long time.[/INDENT]
[INDENT]The model I could most utilize professionally, the RTX 3070 240hz model (w/ expanded screen color space) was shown on in the product listings but with the statement "Notify me when back in stock."[/INDENT]
[INDENT]"That's fine," I thought, "I'll sign up." But, something was bothering me, something I couldn't put my finger on. So I emailed Razer support about the model, asking if there is an estimated time of arrival for the re-stoke, or if perhaps this particular model is being discontinued (as has happened to me in the past).[/INDENT]
[INDENT]A few days pass, no response, I go back to the Razer Blade Pro 17 listings page and notice the model I was enquiring about was no longer listed at all; very strange indeed.[/INDENT]
[INDENT]I finally got an email later that day stating "the model is not discontinued and that more units are on their way to the warehouse." I promptly responded, asking why the model was removed from the store listings entirely if it's going to be available again soon. The response I received to this inquiry was a broken link to a store listing along with instructions to "click 'Notify me when back in stock'" link.[/INDENT]
[INDENT]Clearly, the person (or machine) responding to me isn't actually checking into things.[/INDENT]
[INDENT]I went back and forth over email with support a few more times, always getting a new email from a differently named "person", finding myself continually frustrated by the fact that nothing I was saying seemed to be read by the other part.[/INDENT]
[INDENT]Fast forward to now and even the RTX 3070 QHD 165hz model (the next best model for my needs) is out of stock and I don't know what to do...
I could not for the life of me get the email support people/machines to confirm a expected eta for restock. This question was skirted every time it was brought up.[/INDENT]
Consequences...
One of a few things are true and I have not found a way to know which.
