When buying a laptop, you usually have to choose between fast refresh rates or vivid imagery, but Razer claims it can offer both at once. The company plans to update the Blade 15 with an option for the first 240Hz laptop display. You will get the high responsiveness that can provide an edge in a game, but you will still have a color-accurate 1440p panel with deep contrast. If the machine lives up to its billing, you could dominate the latest online shooter in one breath and edit video the next. There will be some compromises. The panel is not particularly bright at 400 nits. You will not want to work in bright sunlight. The risk of burn-in that comes with OLED isn't as high as it used to be, but it might not be your best choice if you regularly work with static content like photos. You guessed right, if you thought a 480p screen had to be expensive. The Blade 15 will cost $3,500 in the fourth quarter of the year. You will get a 12th-gen Core i9-12800H processor, a 12th-gen GeForce RTX 3070 Ti graphics card, and a 1 terabytes of storage, but it's clear that the package is for the well-heeled.
