The Razer Blade will go on sale in Q4 2011 for $2799.99

 

No, 560M>555M and for more than double the price.

 

it's a gimped 555m

 

GT555m, bigger screen, smaller bettery, smaller hdd, more than twice the price - I don't think it will. Its got a cool keyboard, thats about it...

 

While it does look great to much flash and not enough substance ti justify the price.
CLEVO has nothing to worry about, only wish CLEVO's came with backlit keyboards.

 

you can't compare GTX with GT graphics card. Plus, we can customize better yet high spec on NP8150/NP8170 at that price tag.

 

Nope, the NVIDIA GeForce 555M GT is not even close. It's like half the speed of the 560 GTX.

The Razerblade is a joke like all Razer products. Overpriced farmed out to Chinese company to build crap with bad internal specs in a fancy case with LED lit Razer logos everywhere. The only advantage is that it's small. The little LCD touch panel beside the keyboard should have been an actual numpad. It's stupid and useless for most things. Razer markets it as a way to "watch Youtube to learn tips for games" while you are gaming. Haha!

$2799.99 will get you a Clevo that is 4-5 times more powerful graphically than that pathetic Razerblade. The only advantage the Razer has is battery life because of optimus but I'm guessing because it is so thin, the battery will have very little capacity and will probably be the same or less than a P151HM1 even with optimus.

 

I have to admit, the keyboard screen thing is awesome, and it's incredibly thin, but I'm not about to throw down almost three grand for a 555.

 

I remember when I first looked at this notebook, my initial though was: "What the....", due to the fact that they're selling it for twice the price that it's worth (maybe not even THAT!) and all it has to make somebody want to buy it is the keyboard,(which isn't worth it, IMO) and, buying it because it's small? I'm not a fan of alienware, but I understand that the fully upgraded Alienware M11x R3 is a much better machine to buy if you want a portable gamer.

 

the keyboard probably cost them a LOT.

 

One 17.3 inches, one 15.6 inches.

Challenge? They are for two completely different markets.

 

Are we positive it's the 96sp 555M?

There's also a 144sp 555M with GDDR5 used by MSI.

 

Compare it with the P170 then. Even then, it can't really outmatch a clevo.

 

@llstarks looks like you almost got the same specs as the Razerblade

 

yea....it kinda sucks and they call it a gaming notebook? I like Razer...but this notebook's performance/price is horrible. I do like the design and keyboard though.

 

I'll stick with their gaming mice....

 

Complete waste of money, in my opinion. Even if I had a pool of thousands of dollars laying around for toys, I still wouldn't buy this machine.

The keyboard is in fact really nice, but that doesn't justify the cost with that kind of GPU. Neat ideas and everything, just an inflated final cost.

 

You know how much an iphone replacement LCD costs at wholesale? $20

That's more advanced than the little touch screen they have on this thing. It didn't cost them anything.

 

Honestly I'm kind of embarrassed to even own a Razer product after seeing this. I think this stuff is going to their head, I mean who let this thing get past R&D, and then letting it even get out at that price point, they have no idea what we want as mobile gamers. They think Alienware, MSI, Clevo users would buy that? Ok so we're probably 90% of the market right now, and gateway might have a tiny bit, since they just mysteriously stopped making FX series laptops. So basically Razer wants to tap that 8%? I certainly don't see any of us buying that when we can buy a Clevo for $800 with similar specs.

Plus, all I see is a more expensive Mac Book Pro with Razer branding instead of Apple, and I thought Apple was a rip.

 

well.. something might have really cost them to mark it up to that $2.8k price

 

As stated earlier, its probably the keyboard that costs so much.

 

And why exactly? I bet the keyboard is dirt cheap to manufacture.

 

Anyone notice that the video advertized the blade playing BF3? Lol, at what? 10FPS? And that inventory menu and all that...im guessing that only works on massive games like WoW but not on smaller scaled games?

 

^i noticed that, bf3 would crawl on that blade on high settings

 

Oh that was played on a Clevo, they just cut and pasted the vid onto their " gaming laptop " lolz

 

4811 3dmark vantage GPU score no Physx, I loled, then I loled again, and then I had to put some new Depends on. Oh did I say that out loud?
I really feel kind of bad for that company, although since it was bought out, well actually I don't feel bad, but still this is going to be a monumental disaster for these guys. They just have no idea what is about to happen to their bottom line. ( Although people have been known to pay stupid high markups for Razer products in general ( ooo! it's shiny and has lights, I have like never seen that before!), like their crappy little plasticky keyboards for $100 ( although the newer models are much nicer, those old ones ugh..sorry if anyone has one )

Anyway Razer are a bunch of idiots. Like that thing is going to run games at max clocks on the battery even if it does which I doubt, the battery life will still be dreadful, yeah right. Optimus is fine if you're browsing the web, but wait until that stupid thing dies in 40 minutes on the battery, and you have to...oh wait for it...PLUG IT IN TO A WALL OUTLET to play games...so....your portable light weight laptop suddenly becomes useless even if it had ANY sort of advantage over an Alienware or Clevo ( which it does not ) at that point...well it's just an underpowered overpriced useless brick to spice up the room. They must have overlooked this somehow.

 

but the question is.. will a gtx560m fit the razerblade shell? maybe the gt555 is the best card they can put on the blade?

 

The 555m is soldered onto the mainboard while the 560m is an MXM card. In addition the 560m also requires more cooling and power to run. It's plausible that the 555m could fit into a more compact space, generally speaking, than the 560m.

 

I have determined this is nothing more than a black MBP. A horribly priced MBP without the OSx.

 

I have to agree, not only that it looks like a black MBP, but it's priced like an apple device. Way over the line for what a Clevo's price is
