<\/p>\nRazer sets Australia as one of the company\u2019s focus countries for new product launches<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
AUSTRALIA \u2013 September 18, 2012 \u2013Razer\u2122, the world leader in high-performance gaming hardware, today announced that it is bringing its most powerful weapon yet, the new Razer Blade, to Down Under. As part of Razer\u2019s commitment to the Australian market and gamers, Australia will be one of the first countries to have the new Razer Blade available. Retailing at AU$2,999.00, the next generation gaming laptop is set for release from November 1 at Pitt St Mall JB Hi-Fi Store (Sydney), Elizabeth Street Software JB Hi-Fi Store (Melbourne), JB Hi-Fi Online and Razerzone.com.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve 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,\u201d said Tan, \u201cand I think that it\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
The new Razer Blade is only 0.88 inches thick, less than half the thickness of traditional gaming laptops of comparable performance. Combined with an ultra-slim power supply, the entire system weighs less than three kilograms, less than half the weight of other gaming laptops, making it the lowest profile, lightest gaming laptop of its class.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe all-new Razer Blade is kick-ass powerful; it has extreme levels of performance and yet amazingly thin,\u201d Tan continued. \u201cThe Blade features the next generation of Intel\u00ae quad core processors combined with powerful NVIDIA\u00ae GTX class graphics chips and the fastest RAM available, resulting in a machine that is insanely powerful.\u201d<\/p>\n
PC gamers will now be able to experience today\u2019s most graphics-intensive games at phenomenal frame rates on the new Razer Blade\u2019s remarkable 17.3-in. high-definition display. The machine\u2019s new hybrid drive solution delivers data up to three times faster than traditional hard drives, with double the storage space. Additional features include quieter fans, optimized speakers, and three USB 3.0 ports with charging capabilities even when the system is switched off.<\/p>\n
The most striking and innovative feature of the Razer Blade remains its multi-award-winning Switchblade User Interface (UI). The unique integrated LCD display\/multi-touch panel and 10 dynamic adaptive tactile keys put commands and control functions within fingertip reach. The Switchblade UI features a growing list of applications designed specifically for gaming by Razer\u2019s in-house software engineers as well as by Razer\u2019s active community of users. These apps allow users to browse the web for in-game guides, watch online videos, stay connected within their social networks, and take advantage of an expanding list of dedicated gaming apps without ever having to leave a game.<\/p>\n
