1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,560
Laptops, cars, I like both of them. Ha ha!

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,720
We've got a Lamborghini.

3
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:12,040
Oh, wow. Automobili Lamborghini.

4
00:00:12,040 --> 00:00:15,400
Maybe I should say Laptopolini Lamborghini.

5
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,440
Do you ever just want all of the reliability

6
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,600
of an Italian sports car and razor laptops combined?

7
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:27,600
In here, we have the new Razer Blade 16 Lamborghini edition.

8
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,840
There's only 150 of these in the world. We've got one of them here

9
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,920
and it's actually quite a good laptop. I think we haven't looked at it yet.

10
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,560
Before we get into this, the fuel.

11
00:00:41,160 --> 00:00:47,520
In here, we have a 330 watt power adapter, which is gobs and gobs going through

12
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:53,280
their proprietary connector here, which you expect because you cannot do that much over USB-C,

13
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,200
even with their new fancy power delivery stuff. Let's just unbox it.

14
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,360
Come on, get out of there. There we go.

15
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,440
There we go. Oh, do we have any fancy Lamborghini notes in here?

16
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:09,040
Come on, stickers. Yep, put some on my golf, which is essentially a Lamborghini.

17
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:16,400
Oh, there we go. Yep, hell yeah. You also have a little cloth, Lamborghini startup menu.

18
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,040
All right, the main attraction here. This thing is heavy.

19
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,960
There's a lot of laptop in here and you most certainly can feel it.

20
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:31,680
It is very much just a gimmick, but that does look pretty sick, I do have to say.

21
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,360
You have this thing in a coffee shop. People are gonna be like, damn.

22
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,800
I was really scared for a second there. This was just a sticker with how it sort of feels,

23
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:46,320
but it is actually anodized right on there and that is why it looks so dang good.

24
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:50,400
Look at that. It is one heck of a fingerprint magnet though.

25
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:58,000
Ew. Ew. Oh, this thing must be close to or over five pounds.

26
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Ew, I'm gonna guess 5.5.

27
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:07,480
Yep, nailed it. That translates to 2.5 kilograms

28
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,960
for those of you in all of the rest of the world. Oh, this thing might be pretty thick and pretty heavy,

29
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,040
but at the same time, it has heaps of IO.

30
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,360
Full size SD card reader, love to see that.

31
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:23,360
Thunderbolt 4 USB Type-A, HDMI 2.1 around the other side,

32
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,960
3.5 millimeter headphone microphone combo jack.

33
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:31,360
This one right here is USB Type-C with 100 watt power delivery, not Thunderbolt 4,

34
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:36,040
but I will accept it. Two USB Type-As and our power in for the full

35
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:40,440
303 watts from our charger. Okay, this has been some pretty exceptional

36
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,480
fingerprintage and Jake was saying that it is,

37
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:48,600
that my hands are just disgusting. I just wanna show you. Here's like a different laptop.

38
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,680
Wow, it doesn't look terrible. One finger might not.

39
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,360
You can do it. Look at the size of this track pad. This thing's fricking enormous.

40
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,560
Also, the build quality looks really, really good.

41
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,600
Again, something that they have been really good for

42
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,720
and well, forever pretty much.

43
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,320
I've got our CNC milled aluminum chassis.

44
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:17,480
This thing is heckin' stiff. We can get a tiny bit of deflection

45
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,480
if we're like really pushing into it, but this thing feels awesome.

46
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:26,320
How is it so disgusting? Already. So this comes with a really fancy display.

47
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:31,320
It is both 4K and 1080p. At 4K, it's 120 Hertz.

48
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,540
And then at 1080p, it's 240.

49
00:03:34,540 --> 00:03:41,160
You need to restart it to switch between those. But it is also mini LED and there's just something about it.

50
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:46,160
Like this area in the center where we've got Mr. Lambo is really, really bright.

51
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:52,200
Like it's blowing out the camera right now. But then our icons on the left are dark.

52
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,400
I'm curious if I take like the Steam logo and put it in here.

53
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,680
Yeah, now it's bright and it like kind of makes sense.

54
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:04,720
I move it over here. Yeah, that looks good. But then when I put it off here in the dark area,

55
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,760
it's like a really dark icon again.

56
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:12,200
And it's kind of strange. The background's nice. We have a really nice photo

57
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,960
or generated thing of a Lamborghini. Yeah, so the stuff that you get

58
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:21,400
that's Lamborghini about this is the actually quite cool little anodized thing on the back

59
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,560
and a custom startup and wallpaper. There it is, V10 noise.

60
00:04:28,060 --> 00:04:33,460
Coming from that ASUS Bape collab where they like actually clearly put in a lot of effort.

61
00:04:33,460 --> 00:04:36,520
This is not as much effort.

62
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:41,760
Like we said, it's incredibly bright. They advertise 1,000 nits, we got 1,300.

63
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,280
But the dimming's a bit strange. So you can kind of see on this window.

64
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:50,120
Actually, I'm not really sure that you can see. But this window isn't uniform brightness.

65
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:55,920
Kind of near the edges of it where the dimming zones are sort of petering out.

66
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,040
It gets less bright.

67
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:04,120
And then if I quickly move this around, I don't know if you'll be able to actually see it.

68
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,040
But it's like lagging with when it becomes bright.

69
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,480
Yeah, and you can see like this handbrake test folder

70
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,720
will be way brighter for a moment after the great big white screen's been over.

71
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,600
Like, look at that. But it advanced display 240 Hertz

72
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,600
and we're seeing those weird artifacts.

73
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:29,040
I don't think I'm getting any of the benefit of the extreme pixel response time

74
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,800
because like, is it extreme pixel response time

75
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,800
if the backlight's really slow? All right, native display mode, we're changing it to 4K.

76
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,440
Why is this so grainy? What is happening?

77
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,920
Is this broken? Do you see that? Like all of the like, yeah,

78
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,960
all of the graininess in the background. Is that supposed to be there?

79
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:53,440
Oh, disgusting. Look at the halo around the cursor now.

80
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:58,240
Oh, yeah, something must be broken. This like actually looks like it's broken.

81
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,920
We're gonna have to like update the firmware and stuff and see if we can somehow save this.

82
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,720
But it's, this is not a usable laptop right now.

83
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,880
Okay, we're gonna try restarting again and see if maybe it's happy then.

84
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:15,000
Oh, it still looks awful. Well, the 4K mode looks like ass.

85
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,280
So we're going back to 1080p or 1200p, but same thing.

86
00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:31,340
Let's restart it again.

87
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,040
What's up with the scaling? Well,

88
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,800
Nope. Oh my God. This thing's a gong show.

89
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,720
Oh, wow. Okay. This is really cool. This is really cool. I never looked at the bottom.

90
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:50,240
Those heat sinks are orange. The fans are orange. There's a little Lamborghini logo.

91
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:55,200
That's awesome. It's making my experience here really, really worth it.

92
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,360
We're back at 1080p, 240 Hertz because 4K just completely broke.

93
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,200
So now it's kind of just bad instead of God awful.

94
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,680
I know that I've already been annoyed quite a few times,

95
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,880
but look at how dim the mouse is.

96
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:14,680
And when I move it, it just completely disappears. Yeah, you can't see it when it's in movement.

97
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,080
The performance though is very good in theory.

98
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:23,080
In here we have a 13th gen Intel Core i9-13950HX.

99
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:28,720
That is 24 cores and 32 logical processes

100
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,960
in a freaking laptop. It goes up to 5.5 gigahertz.

101
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:39,040
So that's fast. We also have 32 gigabytes of 5,600 mega transfer

102
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:43,840
for a second RAM. For storage, we have a two terabyte Samsung drive

103
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:48,840
Intel Wi-Fi 6E and of course our RTX 4090 graphics,

104
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,120
which is a 4080, but the mobile version.

105
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:57,240
All right, how are inputs and outputs? First of all, not touch screen.

106
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,800
That's too bad. Our trackpad though is exceptional.

107
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,720
As you expect, glass topped, really big, really great.

108
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:09,520
Just kind of what you expect from Razer. And also what you expect from Razer is not an amazing keyboard.

109
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,800
It's not bad. Like not bad, bad. You can see here that the key stability,

110
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,740
wait, that one's actually pretty good. That one's not as good. So that's the problem.

111
00:08:22,740 --> 00:08:28,000
They aren't consistent. So as you can see, S, S really likes moving.

112
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,560
D is a lot stiffer unless you hit it kind of like

113
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,400
on the side right here. But anyway, they're all different,

114
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:41,240
which is the problem that we're having. So it's going to be really hard to get used to your keyboard

115
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,680
and really, really nice and fast. Cause you just don't quite know

116
00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:51,620
what's going to be on the go. The travel is decent enough and it's like pretty snappy,

117
00:08:51,620 --> 00:08:55,360
but at the same time, the inconsistencies make this,

118
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:59,120
what, like a B plus maybe for being generous.

119
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:03,760
The reason why it's getting a B plus and not lower is because it is geared towards gamers.

120
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,860
So I will let them go away with that kind of like

121
00:09:06,860 --> 00:09:13,400
really quick snappy feel. Cause you can really like, you can really hit it fast.

122
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,520
Just, it's not very satisfying to type on.

123
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,640
Labs testing went and measured this display.

124
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:26,320
All right, for color accuracy, this gets a 6.14 average Delta E and a max of 9.76.

125
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:31,960
It does do pretty good in HDR with an 85% coverage

126
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:37,760
of BT 2020. None of that makes up for the fact that it smears so bad.

127
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,760
Look at that late. She's just right across the display.

128
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,760
That said though, the performance is really quite good.

129
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:49,880
Like we're in cyberpunk right now and we're looking at 100 frames per second on ultra.

130
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,360
GPU is at 70 degrees, CPU is at 83,

131
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:58,760
but both of those are still quite acceptable for how fast this thing is running right now.

132
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:03,600
This is at 1080p. We did test it at 4K and it does slow down a bit,

133
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:09,320
but I'm sure that you can just adjust the settings a tiny bit and it will be very, very happy.

134
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,860
Same with F1 2023, real fast one, total war, war hammer.

135
00:10:13,860 --> 00:10:18,600
Also really quite fast. Performance of this thing is really quite good

136
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,360
and it is a pretty loud. Some pro game removed.

137
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:23,200
Okay.

138
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:32,440
Razer speakers traditionally are quite good in their laptops and given how much of the space

139
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,760
it's taking up on the deck here, I do expect them to be quite good.

140
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:44,480
Okay. We've got the THX Spatial Audio Certification,

141
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,040
which Razer gives it themselves, but it does sound really good.

142
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:52,080
Like this sounds nice and wide. It sounds like the laptops about this big.

143
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:53,200
It's quite impressive.

144
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,200
That's good. That's really good.

145
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:06,640
You don't need to buy a Bluetooth speaker with this. I'm talking really loud because these speakers are loud.

146
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,640
Looking at the display though, it is really vibrant.

147
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:16,800
Like we did see that in our color checker a little bit, but man, all of the colors are super overdone.

148
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,280
All right, how was this webcam? In here we get a 1080p webcam

149
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:24,120
that does have Windows Hello Facial recognition. Love to see it guys.

150
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:29,600
Moving around here, it does definitely struggle with exposure, but if you leave it there for a little bit,

151
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,800
it does seem to be able to figure itself out. Actually, no.

152
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,840
Well, there we go. Yeah, so after a little while,

153
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:41,840
it will figure itself out. Not the best webcam that I've ever seen,

154
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:46,000
but it also isn't the worst. Oh, damn.

155
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:51,520
That looks cool. In here we have an absolutely massive vapor chamber.

156
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,720
Goes all the way up in here. We've got the orange fins, the orange fans.

157
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,120
Are these metal fans? No, they're plastic, but that's fine.

158
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,320
Also in here, we have so dim memory.

159
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:07,360
Love to see it, not only is it fast, but you can upgrade it yourself.

160
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:13,560
Extra points there, Razer. We also have a 95.2 watt hour battery.

161
00:12:13,560 --> 00:12:17,000
That isn't quite as large as the 99.9,

162
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,120
that is the largest that you could put into a laptop,

163
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:24,640
but it's pretty darn close. Now, if you treat it nicely,

164
00:12:24,680 --> 00:12:30,600
you'll be able to get just over five hours of battery life with this thing in the 4K mode.

165
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,640
Surprisingly, the 1080p 240 Hertz mode

166
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,960
is actually a little bit less at 4.7 hours.

167
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:43,200
That said though, there is an enormous amount of power in this laptop.

168
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,520
So if you want to, you can kill it really fast. In our battery stress test,

169
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,960
we were only able to get 1.2 hours,

170
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:54,280
which is pretty expected for something of this performance class.

171
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,320
Also in here, we have our Wi-Fi module.

172
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:01,640
I didn't notice this before, but we have an SSD down here and on top of it,

173
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,280
an open SSD slot, which is just awesome.

174
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,860
So the upgrade ability of this thing is actually really quite good.

175
00:13:08,860 --> 00:13:13,520
So the Razer Blade 16 Lamborghini Edition.

176
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:19,200
What a horrible thing. It is $5,000 and with that display,

177
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,440
man, don't get it, just run away, run the opposite direction.

178
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:27,240
That said though, there was a lot to like here. For the amount of performance that you get,

179
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,160
the battery life is pretty good. The upgrade ability is exceptional

180
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,040
and it was actually able to tame the i9 and 4090

181
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,080
that it has in here, which is incredibly impressive

182
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,680
for how big and just generally overall,

183
00:13:41,680 --> 00:13:46,160
quite nice this thing is. So if you're looking at getting a Razer Blade 16,

184
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:50,000
if you go with their Quad HD 240 Hertz display,

185
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:55,520
I think you'll actually have really quite a good time, but just completely skip the dual mode display.

186
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,280
Man, what an awful piece of junk. What's not awful though is you.

187
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,720
Huge thanks for watching this video. Hit like, get subscribed and just have a great old day.

188
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:04,560
See you later.
