Razer Blade 16 The gaming of MacBook Pro is designed to be a concentrated alternative, and I’m always present for it. I like a gaming laptop that still looks like and feels like a normal laptop, and the new blade returns to a thin and light chassis design after being a bit complicated to the last gene. Top and Configure have also adopted the new flagship Nvidia RTX 5090 laptop GPU and even higher price $ 4,499.99 ($ ​​200 from 4090 models).
I have spent some time with the new Roger Blade 16, but my first review unit had remarkable problems of hardware and replaced by NVIDIA, which provided blades for RTX 5090 testing. I just had an alternative unit for a few days, and while it does not show any performance problem or a boiling speaker, it has a random blue screen of its own. I am dealing with dialogue with Roger, but when it continues, I am still examining this laptop and increasing my feelings about it. Consider posting me through it – a little glimpse in my internal dialogue. (You are welcome. But that too, I’m sorry?)
I like most hardware on the new blade. Most. With a 240Hz refresh rate it has a beautiful panel to work and play like 16 inches, 2560 x 1600 OLED display. And the keyboard and track pads are very good overall. My biggest grip with the keyboard is the new column of macro -keys to the right, which often causes me to silence the microphone when I mean hitting the right arrow. This is another problem that could have been avoided by using the standard ultraviolet key arrangements that is easy to feel. Are Windows laptop makers ever learning?
Thin and light chassis is a happy change (it shaves a whole 7 mm and 0.8 pounds), though I need to do more thermal testing to see if it is so good in cooling like the last model. Roger’s laptop is also a cooling pad, which can provide 25W more power to Blade 16 KGPU and CPU. I have it here, so I’ll see if the hyper boost is worth extra noise and extra $ 150. I also wonder if a thick gaming laptop RTX can extract more than more than RTX 5090.
As I have already written, Blade 16 has an excellent upgrade RTX 5090 GPU if you enjoy DLSS and frame generation. I’m going to continue to test it with excess gaming during battery power. Nvidia made something Big claims About that 50 series laptop cards have strength yet powerful, and in my initial test, 5090 Is About 20 % more efficient than 4090, so I am interesting.
But I am skeptical, because when I’m not gaming, the blade struggles to go through the basic working day on the battery, even using products such as silk, chrome, and Google documents on integrated graphics. Its AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 “Strix Point” CPU can draw more easily than eight hours of work in the other gaming laptop, such as 2024 asus rog zephyrus G16, but activating advanced terms in NVIDIA control and checking the graphics in NVIDIA control, I can’t find the triple. And Synapse. (Maybe something wrong Configure SomewhereSo I will continue to examine it too.)
This laptop is considered great for productivity, creative apps, And Gaming is its price is four and a half Thousand The dollar really likes its offer, and I’m completely impressed with how cool it can be under the burden, but another part of me believes that if the prices are crashing under a light load and you have to charge multiple times a day. This amount of you, you can buy a $ 2,000 MacBook Pro that can handle creative workflows and run well throughout the day (if you don’t mind Macos). And you will have another 500 2500 to spend a respected gaming laptop, or even more powerful desktop.
However, I will admit that having a device to do all this is a clever suggestion. I keep coming back how nice this laptop looks and feels. And the boy makes it beautiful and runs them easily, either on its magnificent OLED or on the outer 4K monitor. This, eventually, means sports.
I can still see myself love Blade 16.
What do you think? Does a laptop really mean for a five -gland? Tell me in comments, and if there is anything, you want to see the test on the Blade 16 for a thorough review.
