Razer has announced that the OLED configuration of the Razer Blade 15 (2022) is now available for pre-order. This new model joins the rest of the Blade 15 configuration and sits towards the higher end, both in terms of specs and price.
The highlight, of course, is the screen, which is an OLED panel with Quad HD resolution (2560 x 1440) and a refresh rate of 240 Hz. The Blade 15 was available with OLED in the past, but it was an Ultra HD panel with a 60Hz refresh rate, so it was more focused on content creation than gaming. This new board should be able to do it all. You get a very fast refresh rate and quick response times of 2.5ms, but you also get 100% coverage of DCI-P3, along with the vivid colors and true blacks you’d expect in an OLED panel.
Inside, this configuration of the Razer Blade 15 is somewhat unique. Razer is packed with an Intel Core i9-12900H CPU and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, a combination not available with any of the IPS panel configurations. Normally, the Core i9-12900H is only available with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, and only in the Ultra HD 144Hz option. The more powerful CPU in this configuration ensures that this machine is just as much meant for content creation as gaming.
Aside from that, it mostly works as usual. You get 16GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD, but both can be upgraded later if you want more. In fact, there is a free M.2 SSD slot inside the laptop, so you can expand the storage space without having to remove the main drive. There are plenty of ports including Thunderbolt 4, USB Type-A ports, and HDMI, and the laptop weighs 4.4 pounds, according to the spec sheet. This is also one of the few gaming laptops to include a 1080p webcam with Windows Hello facial recognition.
It seems that the new OLED model of the Razer Blade 15 is only available for pre-order on the Razer website, but you can always keep an eye on Amazon too if you prefer to buy it there. The laptop will start shipping on September 15, and Razer tends to release its laptops on Amazon along with its own website, so you don’t have to wait long. As for pricing, this configuration will set you back $3299.99. It’s certainly expensive, but nothing out of the ordinary for Razer.
The Razer Blade 15 is a powerful gaming laptop with 12th generation Intel processors and Nvidia GeForce RTX graphics. Now, it’s available for pre-order with an OLED display as well.
