It gets the latest AMD️ Ryzen 9 processor, up to a Ryzen 9 6900HX, which can be paired with up to 16GB of 4800MHz DDR5 memory. You can also opt for the latest GPUs, up to an RTX 3080 Ti. These RTX laptops are based on the revolutionary Ampere architecture, with 2nd generation RT Cores for ray tracing and 3rd generation Tensor Cores for DLSS and AI. This translates to a serious performance upgrade, with the new GeForce RTX 3070 Ti being up to 70% faster than RTX 2070 SUPER laptops and can deliver 100 frames per second at 1440p resolution.
All of this resides in a remarkably thin, light, and compact design, which gets a special fingerprint-resistant coating. The body itself features a special CNC-milled aluminium chassis and high-quality custom components. This includes a refreshed keyboard design, with slightly larger keys, new laser-cut speakers, as well as a refined hinge design for a thinner profile. All these pieces are placed meticulously to create convenient cooling airways for additional ventilation.
The package is rounded off with a 1080p IR webcam and a full IO featuring everything from USB-C to HDMI 2.1, to a high-speed UHS-II SD card reader and even a pair of THX-certified speakers. You can even double up with cloud connectivity, thanks to the pre-installed Windows 11, which comes with additional gaming benefits including DirectStorage, Xbox GameBar, and Xbox Game Pass.
All of this gaming goodness is covered under a new extended battery warranty of up to 2 years, to help ensure users that their Blades are taken care of every step of the way. Everything included, this level of performance and care will cost you around $1,999.99/2,199.99€ MSRP, although you will have to wait for the second half of the year before you can actually get your hands on this new sleek model.
