Razer Blade Delayed to 2012, Pre-Orders Get Free Razer Orochi Black Edition Mouse

[btarunr]

Razer delayed the market release of its much touted Blade 17-inch gaming notebook. Originally slated for Q4 2011, it will now only ship sometime in Q1 2012. This delay is caused due to a last-minute specifications change, of using a 256 GB solid-state drive instead of a 320 GB hard disk drive (original specs). To those looking forward to buying it, Razer apologized for the delay, but to those who already placed orders (pre-orders) for the Blade, Razer announced that it's giving away coupons for a free Razer Orochi Black Edition gaming mouse that will ship with their Blades. Earlier this week, Razer announced a delay in shipments of its Tiamat 7.1 channel gaming headset.

Right....because they couldn't last minute buy a few SSDs so they could sell them to the ten people who would actually purchase this.

Shh, you'll hurt Razer's sales if one of those 10 people cancel

Looks awesome, from an aesthetics standpoint. But $5000 for the listed specs is ridiculous.

Probably caused from how some of the prototypes were stolen

For whoever buys this, it should come with a free dunce cap.

I don't think razer has come out with anything worth while since the death adders and copper head mice, even though they have dabbled in a few things sicne then.

I like the looks of their XBOX360 controller rip off, but it's an XBOX 360 design.

A laptop for $2799.99 and a free mouse is hardly free.
