Razer’s Blade 15 is the first laptop with a 240Hz OLED display

Razer’s new laptop the Blade 15 comes with the world’s first OLED QHD 240Hz display and next-gen specs, giving the Blade 15 series a refresh. The previous OLED Blade 15 model, which offers a higher 4K resolution but has its display dropped at a mere 60Hz refresh rate, making it less ideal for gaming.

The upcoming 240Hz OLED model instead has a lower 1440p resolution. But the display can run games at a far higher refresh rate that PC gamers will enjoy. It is equipped with a 12th-gen Intel Core i9-129000H processor and an Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti laptop graphics card that should help you take full advantage of the device’s upgraded display. Razer says the Blade 15 will go on sale in the last quarter of 2022 for $3,499.99 (roughly K49,000)

The laptop will have a 15.6-inch display, which will cover the entire DCI-P3 color gamut, and feature a quick 1ms response that should allow for a lag-free gaming experience as well as 400 nits of brightness. It comes with 32GB of DDR5 RAM, a 1TB SSD, and one additional M.2 slot that you can use to further increase storage space.

You’ll also find Thunderbolt 4, USB-C, USB-A, and HDMI ports on the sides of the laptop along with an SD card reader.

Razer’s 2019 generation of the Blade 15 Advanced laptop came with the option for a 4K OLED panel or a 240Hz LCD option. The new Blade 15’s display gives you the best of both options with a fast refresh rate and OLED panel (although it isn’t 4K).

Razer doesn’t seem to be taking major risks or making very huge and unbelievable promises with its 2022 lineup of Blade laptops. Razer is choosing to give its devices small spec boosts instead, in line with Intel and Nvidia’s minimal chip upgrades throughout the year. Razer released the new Blade 17 in February, which starts at $2,399.99 but goes all the way up to $4,299.99 for a 144Hz 4K display, Intel Core i9-12900H CPU, and GeForce RTX 3080 Ti.

This PC is definitely something that PC gamers should be on the lookout for, though it’s quite pricey, Razor is one of the best gaming PC brands therefore it must be worth the price tag. The launch date is yet to communicated but be sure to be on the lookout for any update!
