Min-Liang Tan, co-founder and CEO of Razer, said,
When we debuted the Razer Blade in 2013, we set the benchmark for gaming laptops – and other companies worldwide have followed in our footsteps. We continue to listen as gamer needs evolve and the new Razer Blade again sets the industry standard by which gaming laptops are measured.
The laptop is now available in U.S., Canada, Singapore and Hong Kong. It will be available in China, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, UAE, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Russia from March. The price of the laptop starts at $2199.
