This is why I don't buy their shitty products.

SEEMS LEGIT..........

I don't see a price tag.

rofl US$2799.99

"Razer is reinvigorating technological and design innovation for the entire PC industry, and encouraging gamers and developers to return to the PC as the primary gaming platform of choice."

At least they got the right idea

and their product is reinforcing the notion that pc gaming is overpriced

at least they got the right idea

the right idea? you kidding me?

So you'd rather they didn't think about the fact consoles are stealing all the attention from PC's in terms of new game development and promotion?

consoles will always be better than pcs for casuals,you cant have a bunch of mice and keyboards in your living room,can you?

Indeed, but there are a huge amount of people who have been casual gamers on PC's - a lot have moved on to consoles because there is very little development in the PC area despite it being a huge industry on its own.. constantly playing console ported games is just *yawn* - that doesn't make me think that razer will save everything, but at least they have recognised the ridiculous balance

PC gaming in general is in the best position it has been in years. Their marketing strategy is 5 years late and actually supports dumb out of date misconceptions with the price.

Indeed, there are a lot of gamers with more money than sense ^^

I'd personally rather they didn't draw a shitload of attention to the idea of switching to PC gaming and then slap everyone with a $2800 price tag for what is basically a nice ultra-portable with a mediocre mobile gpu crammed into it.

well your name is zoot so i guess that explains a lot

I don't see your point :|

Zoot 178 up, 63 down
cigaweed (spliff blud)
gimme a lit 2 bun dis zoot blud!

brap brap

What the fuck? That's what the big reveal was?

Here I am thinking I need no other reason to hate Razer products, then along comes a TRUE PC GAMING laptop with facebook and twitter buttons on it.

HMM GUISE

SHOULD I BUY FOUR COMPUTERS THAT MAX OUT EVERY GAME AND A FEW HOOKERS

OR RAZER BLADE

I'M VEERING TOWARDS RAZER

Considering the specs are good, the hardware runs/works fine and it can run most games in high quality, I don't see a problem with that price.

If you run it down to euro, it would be 1875 euro. As a Windows user, gamer and that if I buy something, I want it to contain the latest stuff to get me going for the next 2 to 3 years, I would consider buying this.

That is, if I wanted to spend that kind of money. An Apple fanboy would spend this kind of money within a second when Apple announces and puts their new macbook pro / macbook air line on the market with better hardware. Those things (considering if you want the same as I do, with the best stuff they can offer in it) cost 2000 euro AT LEAST and then you still have outdated hardware.

If Razer doesn't stumble oppon too much resistance prize to hardware wise, I think they could start selling some. Especially if this laptop is powerful enough to also be your PC when you hook it up at home on a monitor.

Haven't checked how laptops are from other companies recently though, but If they converse that US dollar prize fairly to euro, it is not THAT expensive for what you get.

The specs aren't that good, it has extra ram for no reason, no SSD, and costs twice as much as other gaming laptops with equal/better hardware.

Well I just checked the top gaming laptops that I could buy in NL and they go between 1500 and 2200 euro. With similar hardware. Considering it is Razer, they do it like Alienware, you pay for the brand. I also take into consideration that it is thinner than these laptops I checked out and I would prefer that in this day and age.

I'm not a fanboy btw, just to make that clear. Just that this laptop isn't that overpriced and might be good value if you care to spend the money. But I would only consider it, if I actually used that laptop more than 15 mins a day :)

Congratulations, you're a moron razer's ideal customer.

If you were not, then you would know that it's EXTREMELY overpriced. Those specs are a joke at that price point. It's got a dual core and a 555m ffs.

If you want a gaming laptop so badly look up MSI GT780DXR-099US. Infinitely better specs for $1000 LESS. Also because it is not a razer product, it probably wont break within a year.

Never said I would buy it, just that they don't do it differently compared to other brand powered companies. Apple, Alienware they do the same thing and if you want to spend your money on that, why not.

The laptop looks slick, probably performs decently and is also not totally retarded for use as work pc (as I would need it most for).

I wouldn't pick any of the laptops vedic listed, because they look totally retarded. But same thing I would say about the Razer one, because the logo and green lights would put it off as work laptop for me (considering I show stuff to clients and do presentations with it).

I'm still waiting for a laptop that would bring slickness and performance together. This just looked as close as it gets for me just based on balancing the two.

yep, you're a moron.

come on, we all know its just cause you like the name :p

yeah it must feel like his own pro model

Where did you look?

http://www.asus.com/Notebooks/Gaming_Powerhou...ifications
http://www.dell.com/us/p/xps-17/pd

Half the price, and equal/better specs.

If I customize the dell XPS laptop to better hardware, it will come out overpriced as well. But I guess you aimed at similar hardware for same prize. Adding a SSD for example is + 500 dollar. Upgrading processor, memory etc. also adds to over 2k easily.

I wouldn't buy either two, since they look utterly shit design wise.

Edit: XPS is still decent in that perspective (design), but when I saw a guy pulling his XPS out during my college years, it made me cry. Huge motherfuckers they are.

Same price? That was in dollars, which is almost half as much.

If you buy a XPS in NL, you pretty much get raped by the price. I guess it's doable to buy it overseas, but then you get raped by Dutch customs, who disallow such importing and have you pay taxes on it up to the price of what Dell sells their laptops for in my residing country.

In NL, we have fast internet, but when it comes to latest hardware, you pay full price :D

I'm not a fanboy btw, just to make that clear

OHHHHH, yes you are "BLAD3"!! :D

jokes aside I think you havent looked good enough.. what about this one? http://rog.asus.com/products/nb/G74SX.htm

I'm not, I do buy stuff that has what I would need from a product.

Laptop: Slim, nice design, good performance, possibility to upgrade and useable in both business and private environment.

I do not want a big fat piece of robotic designed hardware that should resemble todays 'futuristic' looking crap. Same as what you just linked, it is just too clumsy (big). And I can understand why, because they put in hardware that isn't small yet (on a consumer level, companies have access to it I'm sure) and so they have to increase the size of a certain area in the laptop to include everything.

Guess I just have to wait another 2 years and maybe then ;D

the new mac book air is quite nice,
I would get myself one now if I wouldn't have still one year of studies ahead where I need a bigger portable display with no-glare ...

Ye I'm waiting to see what their next line is. I would want one and install both OS (Win + iOSX) on it. I really like that slim design, just too bad it still lacks hardware specs to make it more complete :)

the line released right now has some cpu that is comparable to the normal i5 processor, there is a HD 3000 intel chipset for graphics which is not too bad (not as good as nvidia though), and there is a 11" version with 4 GB Ram and 128 GB SSD (!) ... it should be pretty fast and run also many games that are not too hardware intensive ...
but I am also curious to see what the comptetitor will come up with,
the ultrabooks will now get released and there should be some competitors from most other companies until the end of 2011 ...
tbh. I am really curious what lenovo will come up with

wow the razer logo must be expensive

dat price

pcgamingmods was a nice site

I think the laptop looks ok, (minus the shitty customizable display thing) however I was unable to find out how long the battery will last, and it's a fucking dual core.

120hz led? If it aint.. this thing gonna sink pretty fast.

Think you can max out a MSI / XPS / Alienware laptop at about 700-500$ less, with same or better specs, but well it would not have the same look and feel. But gaming laptops are the only way how we can bring back old school byoc lans without the hassle of transporting a box as big as a shipping crate.

lan partys don't exist anymore, da internet killed the lan partys

2011 2800$ GAMING laptop with video card thats on par with mine 8800GT from year 2007.

Razer innovating again.

2799 $ for this?
this pc is dead before it's released ...

Just came to this thread because I wanted to post this.

Seriously, 2.8k is WAY too fucking much for their target audience (read: kids)

oh shit thats priceless

Yeah honestly if they wanted to give PC gaming a boost they should have released a line of inexpensive gaming PC's. Something like:

high-end dual or low-end quadcore
high-end gpu
4 gigs of RAM
inexpensive HDD
Just enough PSU to power it
cheap mouse+kbd included
small, LAN-able case (go ahead and throw some stupid lights on there for the kids)

If they could work out deals with Nvidia/Intel/AMD and manage to sell the things for $300 to $500 that would be a hell of a lot more likely to draw the console crowd over than a prohibitively priced gaming netbook that will be obsolete and worth 200 bucks in a year and a half. That thing is going to flop terribly.

They might as well have put a decent GPU in it if they were going to be retarded anyway. At least then it would actually be useful. That dinosaur they're putting in there isn't going to run shit at decent framerates. Might be good for SC2, WoW, LoL, etc, but its certainly not going to be doing anyone any favors in FPS games.

Also, did anyone else watch that youtube video and couldn't stop laughing at the Asian dude's voice?

/edit; here it is, thought it was in this thread already. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSFMaCOeFas

He's like Asian Carl Sagan

yeah, and did you notice the camera is slowly zooming in for an emotional character? It's ridiculous.

What an overpriced joke. Sounds like Apple retardation.

Why does it have such a shit HDD for this money? I'd expect atleast a 256gb SSD for that.
