The latest in portable gaming high end machines, the Razer Blade, is releasing in Australia on the 1st of November this year. The gaming laptop is to be sold at both JB Hi-Fi and at the online store run by Razer. On the laptop, CEO and Chief Gamer of Razer – Min-Liang Tan had this to say –

“We’ve been told (over and over) by our Aussie gaming fans that they feel that the Australian market lags behind in terms of the availability of new hardware and games,” said Tan, “and I think that it’s bloody time to set a new precedence by making Australia one of the first countries globally to have the latest Razer equipment, and there is no better way than to start that off with the new Razer Blade.”

What sets the Razer Blade apart from other devices is that it is an incredibly thin laptop that is also incredibly lightweight. On the form-factor, Tan continued with this –

“The all-new Razer Blade is kick-ass powerful; it has extreme levels of performance and yet amazingly thin,” Tan continued. “The Blade features the next generation of Intel® quad core processors combined with powerful NVIDIA® GTX class graphics chips and the fastest RAM available, resulting in a machine that is insanely powerful.”
