Well, we can at least do that now. The smaller of the two Blades is now up for pre-order, with prices ranging from $1,800 to $2,300 depending on the SSD capacity. Whatever the storage level, players are getting the same 14-inch 1,600 x 900 display, quad-core 2.2GHz Core i7 processor, 8GB of RAM and GeForce GTX 765M graphics. Any fresh orders should ship within two to three weeks, which fits just inside of Razer's promised launch schedule -- and just ahead of our summer vacations.</div><div class="pr_box_button" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">Hide Press Release</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>Razer announces World's Thinnest & Most Powerful 14-inch laptop is available for pre-order</strong></em></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><em>Thinner than the diameter of a standing dime, new 14-inch Razer Blade packs most power per cubic inch in gaming laptop history</em></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><em>TAIPEI, Taiwan, June 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Computex -- Razer™, the world leader in high-performance gaming hardware, software and systems, announced that it is taking pre-orders for its new 14-inch Blade gaming laptop.</em></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><em>Powered by a 4th gen Intel® Core™ i7 quad core processor with Hyper-Threading (Base 2.2 GHz/Turbo 3.2 GHz) and the latest NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 765M GPU, the Blade is the thinnest and lightest 14-inch gaming laptop in history.
