Guess there goes one of my kidneys
i wish they can make 32″ though…
I’ll buy it in 5 years👍
my last gaming device was a PS3.. i didnt know how crasy priced are.. the top end Razer16 is $6500 CDN w taxes
Why can’t they put a full sized keyboard for that big 18 inch laptop. Waste of space. Having a num pad on the side is way better because it is faster to type and can type one hand for that one it is way easier specially when typing password or doing excel like seriously all 16 inch above laptop should have a full sized keyboard.
Steve Rogers review with new razer blade 18
The “laptop” form factor it’s just wrong for these kind of beast PCs.
I would much prefer they pack all the hardware in a box and sell it as a MiniPC.
Let’s be real, as pointed in the video 15″ screens are small for gaming and productivity, 20+ inch screens take too much space, but what if you let the user decide?
With a MiniPc you can choose the monitor you prefer and most importantly, mount it on a stand to align it with your eyes and not having the neck curved down.
Laptop keyboard are kinda meh for gaming and the touchpad is a backup solution if you don’t have a mouse. Battery life will probabily not pass the 2 hours mark, but with those dimensions and weight I doubt on the use on portability of this Pc.
Gamers and creators will probabily use this on a stand to raise the monitor or hooked to an external monitor and with their prefered keyboard and mouse, so a MiniPc with that power would work just fine and maybe save you some bucks.
Something like the Minisforum HX99 G (that comes for 1.100$ with 32gb of ram and 1 tera ssd) but made by more known companies would be great.
Not single word on battery life?
And people say macbooks are overpriced lol if anything apple products are the best priced in the industry
Can you please share your experience with the palm rest? it is still getting too warm?
Its a LAPTOP. I’v had a 17″ xps for a year and even as compact as it is a little too big. 15 and 16″ is definately the sweet. Thin light bezeless and powerful 15″ laptops are the way to go imo. If you’re gaming at home use an external gpu
Some benchmarks would have been nice.… thermals, noise, gaming, cinebench. This information provided here in the video you can easily just get on the vendor page
What about how it sounds? Who allowed this to be published without once mentioning how it sounds for a gaming laptop? Seriously! What happened for you not to mention it once? Does anyone in the comment section know how this laptop sounds in general?
Razer is nickel and diming customers here. We know the 4000 series GPUs are expensive. Razed has decided to include Windows 11 Home edition on laptops which start at $3600 (16”) or more… Deal breaker for me due to their mentality.
OMG, that’s expensive. Who spends that much money to play video games? I know folks would say, they could use it for work also, etc etc…You can buy a PS5 an Xbox and a nice laptop for less.
about the function keys stuff.. i believe Lenovo does it the best with its legion series where you can fn escape to function lock the function row, that way you can quickly switch between whichever use you need for the key without having to open a software, or messing around in the bios
Can’t wait to buy it off eBay in 5 years 💪
If you’re complaining about Function Keys to do Volume then you dislike the ENTIRE Razer Lineup, there has NEVER been a razer laptop that have the button/keys you’re talking about.… I mean they’re following Apple’s footprint on design language and Apple said get rid of F Keys all together. This is Razer’s attempt to do the same and well Windows uses F Keys. I’ve hackintoshed my Razer Blade and run Mac OS on mine and guess what??? No issues what so ever on the keys. So is it a Laptop Problem or an OS problem?
I will wait for 21” laptop
This will be like $800 in 3 years
I need to know what 17” laptop does OLED that’s a standard laptop not the Zenbook touch
How is a $3k Razer laptop being reviewed above be called “lower end”?
