WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.560
Laptops, cars, I like both of them. Ha ha!

00:00:03.560 --> 00:00:07.720
We've got a Lamborghini.

00:00:07.720 --> 00:00:12.040
Oh, wow. Automobili Lamborghini.

00:00:12.040 --> 00:00:15.400
Maybe I should say Laptopolini Lamborghini.

00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:18.440
Do you ever just want all of the reliability

00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:22.600
of an Italian sports car and razor laptops combined?

00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:27.600
In here, we have the new Razer Blade 16 Lamborghini edition.

00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:32.840
There's only 150 of these in the world. We've got one of them here

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.

00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:39.560
Before we get into this, the fuel.

00:00:41.160 --> 00:00:47.520
In here, we have a 330 watt power adapter, which is gobs and gobs going through

00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:53.280
their proprietary connector here, which you expect because you cannot do that much over USB-C,

00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:57.200
even with their new fancy power delivery stuff. Let's just unbox it.

00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:00.360
Come on, get out of there. There we go.

00:01:00.360 --> 00:01:04.440
There we go. Oh, do we have any fancy Lamborghini notes in here?

00:01:04.440 --> 00:01:09.040
Come on, stickers. Yep, put some on my golf, which is essentially a Lamborghini.

00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:16.400
Oh, there we go. Yep, hell yeah. You also have a little cloth, Lamborghini startup menu.

00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:21.040
All right, the main attraction here. This thing is heavy.

00:01:23.080 --> 00:01:26.960
There's a lot of laptop in here and you most certainly can feel it.

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.

00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:35.360
You have this thing in a coffee shop. People are gonna be like, damn.

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,

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.

00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:50.400
Look at that. It is one heck of a fingerprint magnet though.

00:01:51.240 --> 00:01:58.000
Ew. Ew. Oh, this thing must be close to or over five pounds.

00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:01.000
Ew, I'm gonna guess 5.5.

00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:07.480
Yep, nailed it. That translates to 2.5 kilograms

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,

00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:15.040
but at the same time, it has heaps of IO.

00:02:15.040 --> 00:02:18.360
Full size SD card reader, love to see that.

00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:23.360
Thunderbolt 4 USB Type-A, HDMI 2.1 around the other side,

00:02:23.480 --> 00:02:26.960
3.5 millimeter headphone microphone combo jack.

00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:31.360
This one right here is USB Type-C with 100 watt power delivery, not Thunderbolt 4,

00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:36.040
but I will accept it. Two USB Type-As and our power in for the full

00:02:36.040 --> 00:02:40.440
303 watts from our charger. Okay, this has been some pretty exceptional

00:02:40.440 --> 00:02:43.480
fingerprintage and Jake was saying that it is,

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.

00:02:48.600 --> 00:02:52.680
Wow, it doesn't look terrible. One finger might not.

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.

00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:02.560
Also, the build quality looks really, really good.

00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:05.600
Again, something that they have been really good for

00:03:05.600 --> 00:03:08.720
and well, forever pretty much.

00:03:08.720 --> 00:03:12.320
I've got our CNC milled aluminum chassis.

00:03:12.320 --> 00:03:17.480
This thing is heckin' stiff. We can get a tiny bit of deflection

00:03:17.480 --> 00:03:21.480
if we're like really pushing into it, but this thing feels awesome.

00:03:21.480 --> 00:03:26.320
How is it so disgusting? Already. So this comes with a really fancy display.

00:03:26.320 --> 00:03:31.320
It is both 4K and 1080p. At 4K, it's 120 Hertz.

00:03:31.320 --> 00:03:34.540
And then at 1080p, it's 240.

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.

00:03:41.160 --> 00:03:46.160
Like this area in the center where we've got Mr. Lambo is really, really bright.

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.

00:03:52.200 --> 00:03:56.400
I'm curious if I take like the Steam logo and put it in here.

00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:59.680
Yeah, now it's bright and it like kind of makes sense.

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,

00:04:04.720 --> 00:04:07.760
it's like a really dark icon again.

00:04:07.760 --> 00:04:12.200
And it's kind of strange. The background's nice. We have a really nice photo

00:04:12.200 --> 00:04:15.960
or generated thing of a Lamborghini. Yeah, so the stuff that you get

00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:21.400
that's Lamborghini about this is the actually quite cool little anodized thing on the back

00:04:21.400 --> 00:04:25.560
and a custom startup and wallpaper. There it is, V10 noise.

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.

00:04:33.460 --> 00:04:36.520
This is not as much effort.

00:04:36.520 --> 00:04:41.760
Like we said, it's incredibly bright. They advertise 1,000 nits, we got 1,300.

00:04:41.760 --> 00:04:45.280
But the dimming's a bit strange. So you can kind of see on this window.

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.

00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:55.920
Kind of near the edges of it where the dimming zones are sort of petering out.

00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:59.040
It gets less bright.

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.

00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:08.040
But it's like lagging with when it becomes bright.

00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:11.480
Yeah, and you can see like this handbrake test folder

00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:15.720
will be way brighter for a moment after the great big white screen's been over.

00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:20.600
Like, look at that. But it advanced display 240 Hertz

00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:22.600
and we're seeing those weird artifacts.

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

00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:32.800
because like, is it extreme pixel response time

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.

00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:41.440
Why is this so grainy? What is happening?

00:05:41.440 --> 00:05:45.920
Is this broken? Do you see that? Like all of the like, yeah,

00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:48.960
all of the graininess in the background. Is that supposed to be there?

00:05:48.960 --> 00:05:53.440
Oh, disgusting. Look at the halo around the cursor now.

00:05:53.440 --> 00:05:58.240
Oh, yeah, something must be broken. This like actually looks like it's broken.

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.

00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:05.720
But it's, this is not a usable laptop right now.

00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:09.880
Okay, we're gonna try restarting again and see if maybe it's happy then.

00:06:09.880 --> 00:06:15.000
Oh, it still looks awful. Well, the 4K mode looks like ass.

00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:19.280
So we're going back to 1080p or 1200p, but same thing.

00:06:19.280 --> 00:06:31.340
Let's restart it again.

00:06:32.640 --> 00:06:36.040
What's up with the scaling? Well,

00:06:38.200 --> 00:06:41.800
Nope. Oh my God. This thing's a gong show.

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.

00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:50.240
Those heat sinks are orange. The fans are orange. There's a little Lamborghini logo.

00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:55.200
That's awesome. It's making my experience here really, really worth it.

00:06:55.200 --> 00:06:59.360
We're back at 1080p, 240 Hertz because 4K just completely broke.

00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:03.200
So now it's kind of just bad instead of God awful.

00:07:03.200 --> 00:07:06.680
I know that I've already been annoyed quite a few times,

00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:09.880
but look at how dim the mouse is.

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.

00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:18.080
The performance though is very good in theory.

00:07:18.080 --> 00:07:23.080
In here we have a 13th gen Intel Core i9-13950HX.

00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:28.720
That is 24 cores and 32 logical processes

00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:32.960
in a freaking laptop. It goes up to 5.5 gigahertz.

00:07:32.960 --> 00:07:39.040
So that's fast. We also have 32 gigabytes of 5,600 mega transfer

00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:43.840
for a second RAM. For storage, we have a two terabyte Samsung drive

00:07:43.840 --> 00:07:48.840
Intel Wi-Fi 6E and of course our RTX 4090 graphics,

00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:53.120
which is a 4080, but the mobile version.

00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:57.240
All right, how are inputs and outputs? First of all, not touch screen.

00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:00.800
That's too bad. Our trackpad though is exceptional.

00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:04.720
As you expect, glass topped, really big, really great.

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.

00:08:14.400 --> 00:08:18.800
It's not bad. Like not bad, bad. You can see here that the key stability,

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.

00:08:22.740 --> 00:08:28.000
They aren't consistent. So as you can see, S, S really likes moving.

00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:31.560
D is a lot stiffer unless you hit it kind of like

00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:36.400
on the side right here. But anyway, they're all different,

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

00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:45.680
and really, really nice and fast. Cause you just don't quite know

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,

00:08:51.620 --> 00:08:55.360
but at the same time, the inconsistencies make this,

00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:59.120
what, like a B plus maybe for being generous.

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.

00:09:03.760 --> 00:09:06.860
So I will let them go away with that kind of like

00:09:06.860 --> 00:09:13.400
really quick snappy feel. Cause you can really like, you can really hit it fast.

00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:16.520
Just, it's not very satisfying to type on.

00:09:16.520 --> 00:09:19.640
Labs testing went and measured this display.

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.

00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:31.960
It does do pretty good in HDR with an 85% coverage

00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:37.760
of BT 2020. None of that makes up for the fact that it smears so bad.

00:09:37.760 --> 00:09:40.760
Look at that late. She's just right across the display.

00:09:40.760 --> 00:09:43.760
That said though, the performance is really quite good.

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.

00:09:49.880 --> 00:09:53.360
GPU is at 70 degrees, CPU is at 83,

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.

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,

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.

00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:13.860
Same with F1 2023, real fast one, total war, war hammer.

00:10:13.860 --> 00:10:18.600
Also really quite fast. Performance of this thing is really quite good

00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:22.360
and it is a pretty loud. Some pro game removed.

00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:23.200
Okay.

00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:32.440
Razer speakers traditionally are quite good in their laptops and given how much of the space

00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:35.760
it's taking up on the deck here, I do expect them to be quite good.

00:10:39.520 --> 00:10:44.480
Okay. We've got the THX Spatial Audio Certification,

00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:48.040
which Razer gives it themselves, but it does sound really good.

00:10:48.040 --> 00:10:52.080
Like this sounds nice and wide. It sounds like the laptops about this big.

00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:53.200
It's quite impressive.

00:10:57.760 --> 00:11:00.200
That's good. That's really good.

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.

00:11:07.520 --> 00:11:10.640
Looking at the display though, it is really vibrant.

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.

00:11:16.800 --> 00:11:20.280
All right, how was this webcam? In here we get a 1080p webcam

00:11:20.280 --> 00:11:24.120
that does have Windows Hello Facial recognition. Love to see it guys.

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,

00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:33.800
it does seem to be able to figure itself out. Actually, no.

00:11:33.800 --> 00:11:36.840
Well, there we go. Yeah, so after a little while,

00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:41.840
it will figure itself out. Not the best webcam that I've ever seen,

00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:46.000
but it also isn't the worst. Oh, damn.

00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:51.520
That looks cool. In here we have an absolutely massive vapor chamber.

00:11:51.520 --> 00:11:55.720
Goes all the way up in here. We've got the orange fins, the orange fans.

00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:59.120
Are these metal fans? No, they're plastic, but that's fine.

00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:02.320
Also in here, we have so dim memory.

00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:07.360
Love to see it, not only is it fast, but you can upgrade it yourself.

00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:13.560
Extra points there, Razer. We also have a 95.2 watt hour battery.

00:12:13.560 --> 00:12:17.000
That isn't quite as large as the 99.9,

00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:20.120
that is the largest that you could put into a laptop,

00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:24.640
but it's pretty darn close. Now, if you treat it nicely,

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.

00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:34.640
Surprisingly, the 1080p 240 Hertz mode

00:12:34.640 --> 00:12:38.960
is actually a little bit less at 4.7 hours.

00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:43.200
That said though, there is an enormous amount of power in this laptop.

00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:46.520
So if you want to, you can kill it really fast. In our battery stress test,

00:12:46.520 --> 00:12:49.960
we were only able to get 1.2 hours,

00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:54.280
which is pretty expected for something of this performance class.

00:12:54.280 --> 00:12:57.320
Also in here, we have our Wi-Fi module.

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,

00:13:01.640 --> 00:13:05.280
an open SSD slot, which is just awesome.

00:13:05.280 --> 00:13:08.860
So the upgrade ability of this thing is actually really quite good.

00:13:08.860 --> 00:13:13.520
So the Razer Blade 16 Lamborghini Edition.

00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:19.200
What a horrible thing. It is $5,000 and with that display,

00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:22.440
man, don't get it, just run away, run the opposite direction.

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,

00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:31.160
the battery life is pretty good. The upgrade ability is exceptional

00:13:31.160 --> 00:13:35.040
and it was actually able to tame the i9 and 4090

00:13:35.040 --> 00:13:38.080
that it has in here, which is incredibly impressive

00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:41.680
for how big and just generally overall,

00:13:41.680 --> 00:13:46.160
quite nice this thing is. So if you're looking at getting a Razer Blade 16,

00:13:46.160 --> 00:13:50.000
if you go with their Quad HD 240 Hertz display,

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.

00:13:55.520 --> 00:13:59.280
Man, what an awful piece of junk. What's not awful though is you.

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.

00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:04.560
See you later.
