Razer has opened pre-orders for new configurations of the Blade 15 and Blade 17. The pair are now orderable with Core i7-12800H and Core i9-12900H processors, along with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti GPUs. All Alder Lake-based configurations will ship in late February.

Sweet, now you can overpay to play the Razer lottery: Will it be decent, or will it be an incredibly expensive door stop and you'll have to deal with Razer's extraordinarily shite customer service?
What the actual F@k. There's 1000 euros difference between the prices? I can fly over there, check s*** out, but the laptop, fly back, still would have 500 euros extra (I'm angry, the calculations are not exact of course)
The hell up with that?
> no glass display
> no OLED
The configs make sense for gamers but for me the displays are an absolute downgrade. I'm perfectly happy with my 2070 Max-Q Base Model for now, but if this trend continues I may end up having to switch brands in a few years' time (or hope that the most recent OLED models go on a discount).
Surprised there is no OLED option anymore.
Looks like I'll be buying the Gigabyte Aero 16 now!!!
Looks like they took the second m.2 drive out of the 15" super lame.
