The award-winning Razer Blade 15 is an ideal device for the latest NVIDIA Turing graphics processors, up to the GeForce RTX 2080, allowing gamers to take their visual experiences to new levels. Fluid, lifelike visuals are displayed on the expansive 15.6-inch Full HD panel with refresh rates of 144Hz, and the compact Max-Q design makes the laptop perfect for gamers on-the-go.

That's not all, as Razer also showcased at CES 2019 two new display technologies it's evaluating for potential future addition to the Razer Blade 15. The first one is a Full HD 240Hz display and the second is a 4K OLED touch display.

Meanwhile, all the new Razer Blade 15 Advanced laptops due to be available later this month will get their display individually calibrated for 'amazing color accuracy out of the box'. All models also feature 4.99mm thin bezels and a Windows Hello-capable IR face camera as well as a dual-array microphone setup for all your streaming, video conference and voice assistant needs.
