Update: To the thousands who criticized Razer because the Razer Blade is expensive, and prefer to grab a cheaper laptop … Razer now tells you:

Min-Liang Tan: “OMFG. Less than 30 minutes and we sold out of EVERY.SINGLE.ONE. of our first batch of Razer Blades. Our next batch will be in about 2 weeks and we’re making as many as we can. Hang in there. This is f#$@% amazing.” — twitter

Razer: The overwhelming demand for the Razer Blade has depleted our first wave of units and we are already sold out within 30 minutes. Rest assured that we’re working hard to meet the demand and get them back in stock by mid February. We will update you again once our next batch is finished and we are doing all that we can to keep up with the demand. Those who are signed up for the notification email will know as soon as they are back in stock, so be sure to sign up for that if you haven’t already. We appreciate your continued support and interest in the Razer Blade.
