Razer has announced updated versions of its Blade 15 gaming laptop. The flagship model is the new Blade 15 Advanced.

It features Intel’s 11th Gen H-series processors and Nvidia’s RTX 30-series graphics chips. It can be specced with up to a Core i9 11900H (2.5GHz base clock and 4.9GHz boost clock) and an RTX 3080 GPU with 16GB of video memory. You can also get it with a 4K touchscreen.

Another new feature is a fingerprint-resistant coating, a Windows Hello 1080p-resolution webcam, and a trackpad with improved palm rejection.

Razer also cut a millimeter from the thickness of the Blade 15 Advanced, making it 15.8mm thick and supposedly the smallest 15-inch gaming laptop with RTX graphics. In terms of ports, there are two new Thunderbolt 4 ports, a UHS-III SD card reader, two USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports, a headphone jack, and an HDMI 2.1 port. It supports Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, and 20V charging via USB-C.

If this interests you, the Blade 15 Advanced starts at $2,299 for a model with a 240Hz QHD IPS panel with 2.5ms response time and 100 per cent coverage of the DCI-P3 gamut. That particular model comes with octa-core Intel Core i7-11800H processor, the RTX 3060 GPU with 8GB of video memory, 16GB of DDR4 RAM clocked at 3,200MHz, and a 65Wh battery (all the other Advanced models have an 80Wh battery).
