just released their brand new blade 18 that they're so confident in they didn't even send us one uh thank you dbrand for sending us this let's see how this is I actually have pretty high hopes I took a look at some of their stuff at CES and it was pretty good but how is it when we're in our office so the charger for this guy is a 330 watt gallium nitride power adapter and this thing is dense normally 330 watts is more like the package it came in than the actual charger why did I forget that that's what was in there oh my God it's beautiful so this is Warzone Damascus which looks pretty ridiculous on a Razer Blade 18. oh my God holy one second this thing must be the better part of seven pounds 6.9 pounds nice with the charger you're going to be carrying around 9.1 pounds in your backpack there is a reason they call this a desktop replacement not a laptop okay what else do we have in here go green with Razer cool aha there we go that's what I wanted to see there's already stickers on it but you know the rules Jake they include stickers they go on so first thing that you notice about this when you pick it up is wow that is heavy followed by wow that is a lot thicker than I thought you look at it in the photos and you kind of think of it as just like you know a normal laptop size because like proportionally this is like a normal laptop except that IRL it's actually like 30 larger in every single way like when you see the difference in thickness yep it's nearly twice as thick but with great girth comes great i o so here we have headphone microphone combo Jack Thunderbolt 4 two USB type A's and two and a half gig Lan around the other side full size SD card reader love to see that excellent when you just want to slap an SD card reader in there and Lightroom away another Thunderbolt 4 another USB type A and HDMI 2.1 2.1 hell yeah I do want to note that this HDMI and this Thunderbolt both connect directly to the GPU so you can be outputting from the GPU to your monitor or whatever and you don't have to worry about the integrated Graphics getting in the way okay one finger not quite this is massive yeah zoom out Andy thanks I don't know how to give you guys a good idea of just how big this laptop is like I can continue showing you a thin and light beside it but like in person this is comical bring over your MacBook 16. like this right here is a 13 and a half inch laptop it's not particularly large yeah MacBook 16 very large laptop in many situations this thing is huge well we have the MacBook here let's just have a little bit of a feel you know remind ourselves just how well built these things are and oh oh the razor is probably stiffer except for in the one spot where it counts on the keyboard it flexes a little bit here only spot that matters for chassis rigidity whereas the MacBook you can get a little bit of Flex if you really push on it but in the keyboard it is pretty nice and firm razer's done a really good job with their build quality for a long time reliability not so much build quality very high and this right here is just a fine example of how to make a really stiff laptop and it's also a fine example of how to make a matte black coating that really shows fingerprints and seams that is gross while we're here we're going to give you the specs of the computer because they left them on so we have a GeForce RTX 49 apparently this is the only one in Canada don't know how dbrand got it but that doesn't matter also a 13th gen I9 3950 HX 24 cores up to 5.5 gigahertz real fast boy and with any luck The Vapor chamber in here will allow us to use all of that we also apparently have a Quad HD 240 hertz display As Told to us right here goodbye sticker at least these stickers come off easy there's nothing worse than when it's like oh this laptop it has all of these features and forever going to be right here all right I think we're about good to turn it on but before that I'm going to turn you on with this sticker on the back of the laptop thanks to dbrand for sponsoring this video their Skins are made from high quality 3M vinyl the patented adhesive is guaranteed to leave no residue on your device if you want to change the skin this Warzone Damascus skin is available as a skin on select devices or even a Rubik's Cube It's also online it says taikan but frankly it looks way better on a laptop than it does on a tie can go to shortlines.com to buy your overpriced stickers today and for whatever reason there's a bunch of billboards around of Linus thanks dbrand dbrand rap Andy's van we just opened this up and it is nearly full battery life but at the same time we want it to last till the end of the shoot so we're gonna plug it in not actually this thing has about four hours of battery life which is pretty terrible but also long enough to complete this video now this is a pretty cool feature that they have here so you can plug in this charger anyway but if you plug it in this way it Blocks Your ports on this side so you can plug it in one way now one thing that you might have noticed is that despite being dwarfed by this chassis the keyboard does not feature a numpad or particularly annoyingly full-sized arrow keys so a lot of people might want to you know have actual arrow keys for playing games I have used this style of key before to get very high level at Tetris Battle so it doesn't necessarily hold you back but at the same time having full size keys would be a lot better for the trackpad it is absolutely massive even though on this chassis it doesn't look particularly big it's what 50 larger than the 17 from last year it is a very large trackpad it is so large that it might be a problem but as far as I can tell the Palm rejection is pretty good so far let's see if we can okay this this is pretty good I'm moving my hands around just as much as I can on this with the palms and the mouse is just not going anywhere but then the second that I bring out like a finger or a thumb or something moves right around so their Palm rejection seems like it is very very good not quite as good though is the keyboard now this keyboard is a step up for Razer I was able to use it side by side with the current gen like blade 14s at CES this is a lot better but it still is pretty super honest I don't even really know why it's bad a lot of like empirical ways I think it's mostly fine it's just like the feel of the keys is off I think what I don't like is that there's like a lot of mushy not really travel before the actual actuation so if you look on the HP right here when I click a key it's not moving at all then I get over the force of actuation and it goes straight to the bottom whereas on the razor blade if you look there's probably what like a millimeter 1.2 millimeters of travel on this but you're able to get about half a millimeter or so of travel before it actually actuates and that makes it really hard to kinda really tell like oh snap we got it instead it's more like I'd say this is a b maybe a B plus if I'm being charitable just get better switches anyway what is good about the keyboard though is the RGB Razer is famous for having very well done RGB and there is no exception here and if we look they have 15 different brightness levels on the keyboard which goes from really quite bright down to nothing I do have to give it to them this screen is impressive it is just pure chunk wise like if you're looking for a desktop replacement this is kind of immersive in the way that desktop is like I could see myself having multiple Windows open at the same time for doing work it is 2560 by 1600 P so that's 16 by 10 you get that little bit extra on the bottom love to see it if you want 4K you need to step down to the Razer Blade 16 so that has a mini LED 4K display but if you are a gamer this is what you want 240 hertz 1440p oil 1600 people whatever it's gonna be great let's have a little look at the rest of the specs here so for the RAM we have 32 gigabytes of 5600 Mega transfer per second ddr5 but what's most interesting is this says it's used slots two of four so it might be very simple to upgrade this to 64 gigabytes that would be nice we also have a one terabyte SSD second one terabyte SSD so this is probably a very very expensive config Wi-Fi 6E and of course the RTX 4090 and that 4090 goes up to 175 watt which is as fast as NVIDIA will let you do it you can cool it better you can give it more power but NVIDIA won't let you do more than 175 Watts given how much space they are taking up these speakers better be fantastic so we have woofer and Tweeter up top and then two more woofers on the bottom and how does it sound so this is THX spatial audio certified and it is surrounding me quite well you can kind of think of it like Dolby Atmos but owned by Razer and worse okay that is pretty good it is quite loud there isn't quite as much bass as I would like and there also is a bit of distortion at the higher volumes I am curious though let's turn off THX spatial audio it sounds about the same but without the sort of cool making it sound larger than a laptop effect can I have your MacBook again all right razor blade MacBook macbook's way better it gets way deeper it's just as loud it has better treble okay so it is better than a thin and light HP but I think the HP also has better Clarity I don't want to crap on it too hard because these are very good speakers for a laptop it's like I'd give it an A but it isn't getting into that a plus territory and this is an A plus price and form factor I've already said this a lot but we're gonna help someone out here just go to most settings pointer options enhance pointer Precision pretty please turn that off that disables most acceleration and then you're able to just be a lot more accurate when you're playing games I hope that helps someone well fair play razor 130 FPS 140 we're sitting right around there in the number one benchmark valheim foreign thing where if you run it on enough laptops and desktops it becomes a valid Benchmark it is starting to get a little bit loud but the quality of the fan noise is quite good so what you don't want to hear is like that classic Razer Blade 14 like this is much more like a whoosh all right I'll play a different game it wasn't running quite as fast as I wanted to Doom so we're here in Razer synth apps medium CPU no we want boost all right give me all those fans it does seem like the turning on the boost mode did help us a fair bit we are looking at what 200 230 FPS right now which is a lot better than it was before which is more like 160. I'm guessing that is largely just because well this is probably very CPU Limited at this kind of FPS is and it was only running at like 2.5 or so before now it is much faster yeah we're now like four gigahertz that is a big difference it is also louder I guess what you could say is it's gone from open back headphone friendly to Unique clothes backs so kind of depending on where your head is you might get more or less of that wine like Andy if I turn it like here does it get better but if you turn it the other way if I put it down yeah and now the high pitch is there yeah yeah so it seems like it's sort of the high-pitched sound is coming out but not towards the user which is good at least although I kind of hear it now what I do have to say though is this display is exceptional for gaming like we're getting 240 FPS in the game right now and I can be so incredibly accurate with where I am looking at this is the kind of display like the size and the refresh rate that makes you totally okay with like using this instead of a desktop that said I do want you to remember that this is not a desktop and it's not an actual 4090 it's the die from a 4080. all right let's have a look at this webcam here so this is a 5 megapixel camera which means we could have 1440p recording and it looks fine the hardest thing about doing a webcam is just the software that's involved and this is doing a pretty fair job actually it's exposing for my face I did click on it so if it yeah this is a very very rudimentary um focusing you just kind of click on your face where you want it and it does that but at the same time it is exposing for my face and it's working pretty well in this very challenging scene so good job Razer it's not trash as well as the webcam in the center we also get Windows hello facial recognition awesome way to enter your laptop love to see it thank you Razer you know a Skin's ridiculous when the guy that personally requested a scorpion thinks it is extra there we go after removing a legion of T5 screws we are in and uh we have our first very large disappointment which is the not very large battery this right here is 91.7 Watt hours which is pretty darn good but the limit of how big you can get is 99.9 Watt hours and given the weight and size of this laptop that's what should be in here instead though this is a three fan arrangement to appear like you normally would have and another one down by the battery which makes me wonder uh just how hot does this thing get while it's charging that said though there are a bunch of other really good reasons why you might want a fan right here specifically like it just creates airflow in the chassis over like your ssds your RAM and everything else that isn't going to be taken care of by your big old Vapor chamber speaking of which there's a big old Vapor chamber look at the size of this guy now they aren't getting the maximum amount of finish so if we look back here there's fins there and fins there but that said the cooling on this is very good so you're not really going to be making it faster just quieter now in here instead of using liquid metal like a lot of laptop Brands they are instead using graphite which does not have the same kind of performance that liquid metal does but at the same time it has exceptional longevity you can just stick graphite in something and leave it for I don't know 10 15 years and it'll be fine and you don't have to worry about it leaking out like liquid metal can do which ruins everything in task manager it said it's using two of four RAM slots but there's only two RAM slots so they got that wrong that said though it is very nice to have super easy access to your RAM it's right here and it's not like 32 gigabytes of 5600 Mega transfers per second RAM is bad it doesn't fit in an LTT backpack oh it does barely like barely barely but it does go in so it earns us a couple of points there as a desktop replacement this screen and this amount of power is very impressive now don't love the keyboard but everything else is very very well done as specked this laptop is five thousand dollars and it starts at three grand at five thousand dollars I have a lot of trouble recommending this because I I don't know I don't really get desktop Replacements I understand that for some people having the mobility is great but if you have the space you can buy an entire desktop and well not not this laptop but you can buy a thin and light and have a very good time that said though if you have heaps of cash and no spot to put a desktop the blade 18 is pretty darn cool so hit like get subscribed and maybe in the future we'll try and uh have some slightly cheaper laptops something you might actually want to buy have a good day"}
