Razer's US $2,800 17-inch gaming laptop has been in the news for quite some time and although everyone was sure that this expensive laptop would sell, no-one expected such demand, probably not even Razer.

According to post over at Razor's Facebook page, the Blade is experiencing "overwhelming demand" and the first batch was sold in 30 minutes. In case you missed it, the Razer Blade is a 17.3-inch 1920x1080 notebook based on Intel's HM65 chipest, Core i7 2.8GHz CPU, Nvidia's Geforce GT555M GPU, 256GB of SSD storage and Razer unique Switchblade user interface that is actually an LCD touch panel that adapts to various games.

Unfortunately, Razer didn't shed any details regarding the size of the firts wave but has promised that it should be back in stock by mid February.
