    Once you have it can you do a load and idle temperature test on the GPU/CPU? I want to compare it to the alienware and see what's up

    I placed my order within 10 minutes of them going up and mine just says order processing. Is that normal?

    Yes its normal. Mine is still in procrssjbg. But mine is set to ship tomorrow, dunno if all PR orders will be shipped that soon or if they don't have enough in inventory for that. I placed mine at 301am ct time so I think I deserve to be a first wave recipient.

    I'm currently undecided between the Razer Blade 14, Asus UX51vz, and Gigabyte P35K, how would you say they compare to each other?

    UX51 throttles like a camel on speed racer, and the p35k rests in the same spot of the razer blade, we dont have any real info

    People who have seen the Razer Blade: how bad is the display actually? I know the reviews seem unanimous in condemning it as third rate, but what are your opinions?

    When I ordered the Blade Pro, it said a 1-2 week timeframe before it ships. I have the 'Order in Process' status now too. I just got an email that there's a backorder on it for 1-2 weeks, but this is the 1-2 weeks that the site said so before I ordered it right? Not 1-2 weeks on top of the original 1-2 weeks?

    The vague timeframes are just confusing.

    I think it was on Hexus.net there was a video of the razer Ceo saying they are "working on it" which means not any time soon.
    They're more than happy as they are.
    plus they'll probably convert the $1799 to £1799

    I'm not sure if it's exactly a delay rather than just an apology because of the slow stocks. Unless I'm mistaken, Min was just saying how the demand has caused so much backorder to the Blades, not necessarily an added ones to the people who already ordered? I'm not sure, I could be wrong.

    I hope it's no added delay though. I ordered it when it was at 1-2 weeks, so hopefully that's still the case.

    Mine said that too just as I ordered. I think the next stage is Order in Process. Same as mine now. You should get an email as well.

    I ordered on the morning of the 13th. Before all this announcements on the delay jazz. But I still don't know if my order's really been delayed or not.

    Hmm, weird. Standard shipping too for me. Maybe it's where you're having it shipped to?

    I think the 512 would be the reason, since the 256 is the standard so the 512 would probably require a bit more time to customize.

    This makes me wonder if maybe it's the payment method? I know that I've had experience before that my order took awhile cause of payment issues. Maybe that's what's causing this discrepancy.

    I know that I was charged on 6/3. I think it's bad form to charge without having shipped, but I'm willing to let it slide if Razer can get this out the door early.

    You sure it is a charge not a pre-authorization on your account?

    That is what the return policy is for. I believe if you order from Razer's store you have a 15 day return policy with no restocking fee so if one of those problems existed you could return it.

    You're correct - it's a temporary authorization. Makes sense!

    Took a few photos but having flickr issues apparently.... Blade 14 is very sturdy, first takeaways when powering it up was it thin, much thinner than my Edge Pro even, but not as light as my MBA13. Love the speaker side placement. Am not fond of the LCD display but its not wretched or anything. I have not had time to install any games just yet. It really does scream class. I will bring it to best buy tonight and put it next to some other laptops for comparisons. Its whisper quiet so far :)

    Grats! I don't know, maybe you're the first official Blade recipient? Lol.

    Mind if I ask when you pre ordered? Might give some indication as to how many days or how far behind I am in the product queue.

    Sweet johnnobts,

    Once you install some games can you install hwmonitor and tell me what are your idle and load GPU/CPU temps?

    Thanks!

    Ordered Date: 12:03pst 6/3/2013 at 12:04pst. Razer Blade 14 512SSD.

    that's very sleek brand new 14 blade, congratz.

    when it compare side by side with your previous blade r2, i mean how thick this thing ..? I'm planning to buy new 17' inch blade.

    would you mind to post some video review for us ?
