Hello,
Does anyone have an idea as to when the Razer Blade Pros 2015 will appear?
Dell slimmed down their Alienwares and other have done or will do the same. I know one reason could be their waiting on the Broadwell I7s to appear. Could they also be readying a 4K 17 inch pro? If so and I am not mistaken it would be the 1st 17 4k laptop. Also since USB 3.1 is here and from what I read will be appearing in products including laptops sometime around march or after that. Could they be waiting to introduce even slimmer gaming notebooks then the ones that are already out? If they come with USB 3.1 type C they be thinner due to that port size (such as what I am hearing about the 12 inch macbook air). Although I guess in Razers case if it has other ports (Ethernet, HDMI, etc) the thinnest would only go so far.

I wouldn't know anything about the external looks of the laptop, but I did find its potential specs.
Generic VGA video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-4720HQ,Gigabyte Blade -

The Pro was shafted on GPU power compared to the regular Blade. Seems like it'll happen again. -
-
Needed better GPU to push better framerate to the QHD+ screen.

Have you found the specs for the 14 in razer blade?
-
Sadly no. My guess is as good as anybody.
You did post something that would help. The CPU. Looking at the base frequency of the CPU (2.4 GHz, not 2.6), the Blade 2015 should have an i7-4722HQ. The GPU will most likely by a GTX 970m. And that's about all I can guess. -
I'm betting they will make them both 970m or the "Pro" a 960m and 14 a 970m. Or maybe even a 980m.

It's really hard to believe that there is no high end gaming laptop with a 15.6 inch or smaller, thinner than an inch with 7+ hours of battery life out there. It would be perfect for a college gamer.

I'm not into looking for a new 17". 14" is fine for mobility. Hope the 2015 refresh has a DP.
-
MiniDP is a requirement for me. I'd hate to have to pass on a 2015 refresh due to a lack of MiniDP.

960m is disappointing. I would have no problem going in on one of these (despite the price point) if they offered a better card. Even a 970m would be enticing.
-
?
It is a 970m. -

True enough. While I personally have no preference as I mainly use the built-in display, it would've made more sense to add miniDP. I'd love for Min-Liang Tan to actually go over all the design choices for the Blade so we can understand Razer's rationale for such things.

This is a message board, where we discuss products. I am unhappy with the current offerings. If I do not voice my opinion, how would Razer know we desire change? How is it good business or a smart offering to offer lower powered hardware for more money? -

At this point, I'm betting gimped 980M with 4GB vram.
-

-
4GB vram instead of 8gb.
-
-
My SLI 780Ti desktop setup is adept at 2560x1440 on maxed out settings and doesn't get into framerate fits until I go overboard with AA or downsampling. -
Newer games are requiring >4GB vram to max out options. ACU needs 5.1GB vram. Max out ACU on your 4GB card and it will have a lot of popins and general issues. Drop AA down and it runs great. On my notebook it runs better (at a lower framerate) than my desktop

Honestly not sure if that's a troll or not but it is the truth. The fact we've been stuck at 4GB is pretty sad. The master race is having to CATCH UP to consoles and the consoles can't even display games at full 1080p60, most are 900p30 =/ pretty sad state of things.
-
I'm going to stop here. It's pretty clear you're far afield with comments like this. Hit up Google for a refresher on this topic, which has been hashed and re-hashed over and over since the release of current-gen consoles. -
I never said consoles had dedicated 8GB vRAM. PS4/X1 are using unified RAM. Games are completely unoptimized as it is and the more ports we get the more they will require more vRAM. This discussion is moot. You are beginning to sound like Bill Gates and Co. saying we'll never need more then 640k of RAM
At bare minimum from now on it should be 6GB vRAM. This may be my opinion but within the next few months with some more AAA titles we'll see how it stands up
