WEBVTT 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.759 This is such a weird laptop box. It's so 00:00:02.639 --> 00:00:08.759 thin. Some might even say it's razor 00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:08.759 thin. 00:00:10.639 --> 00:00:13.280 This is such an awkward intro. I'm so 00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:15.360 sorry. Okay. 00:00:13.280 --> 00:00:16.560 >> Did you see that? It has a giant THX X 00:00:15.360 --> 00:00:19.279 logo on the side of the box. 00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:23.240 >> Holy cow. It does have a has a giant THX 00:00:19.279 --> 00:00:23.240 logo. Put the sound. 00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:30.640 This is such a strange box for a laptop, 00:00:28.560 --> 00:00:34.640 but I'm still excited to unbox the Razer 00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:37.040 Blade 16 baby. This one is not quite the 00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:38.719 top config, but oh my goodness, does it 00:00:37.040 --> 00:00:41.440 have a lot of power under the hood, and 00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:43.040 it comes with a a very, very expensive 00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:44.879 price tag to match. This might be the 00:00:43.040 --> 00:00:48.000 most expensive laptop I've ever held in 00:00:44.879 --> 00:00:50.000 my life. I'm going to game on it. This 00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:52.079 is a fun box. Okay, Razer, get rid of 00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:55.199 this. This is kind of cringe and creepy. 00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:56.480 Welcome to the cult of Razer. 00:00:55.199 --> 00:01:00.320 Let's take a look here. We'll get this 00:00:56.480 --> 00:01:03.680 laptop out of the way in here. 00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:07.040 There you go. Our power brick, which How 00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:08.560 many wattage is it? 280 watts. What's 00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:11.680 the connector on the other end, though? 00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:13.760 It is. Oh, I you know, for half a 00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:16.479 second, I was like, how did they get 280 00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:18.880 watts over USBC? Well, they didn't cuz 00:01:16.479 --> 00:01:21.439 it's not USBC. Like, for half a second 00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:24.960 there, I was fooled. It's clearly some 00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:26.320 Razer proprietary cable, but it's 00:01:24.960 --> 00:01:28.799 expected if you want to draw that much 00:01:26.320 --> 00:01:31.439 wattage. So, and then obviously the C13, 00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:35.240 which is the other end of it, but I 00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:35.240 don't care about this stuff. 00:01:37.119 --> 00:01:40.840 I care about this. 00:01:42.240 --> 00:01:46.640 It's really heavy. 00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:49.840 But then when you look at the size of 00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:53.119 it, you're like, "How did they pack that 00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:55.759 much weight in this thing? 00:01:53.119 --> 00:01:57.600 Holy cow." 00:01:55.759 --> 00:01:59.439 When I read the specs of this laptop the 00:01:57.600 --> 00:02:00.799 first time, I was like, "Oh, gaming 00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:04.079 laptop. It's going to be huge. Going to 00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:05.759 be bulky." I'm kind of impressed. Man, 00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.119 the green logo still is definitely 00:02:05.759 --> 00:02:09.520 off-putting for a lot of people. But you 00:02:07.119 --> 00:02:11.920 know what? That Hey, we'll do that for 00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:14.239 now. Okay. Embrace the cult. 00:02:11.920 --> 00:02:16.239 >> No, I'm not going to embrace the cult. 00:02:14.239 --> 00:02:18.319 What else is in here? We got some Razer 00:02:16.239 --> 00:02:21.520 propaganda. And under the rest of the 00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:23.280 box, that's it. I kind of teased you by 00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:25.440 saying when I first read the specs. How 00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:28.959 about we go over them? In here is the 00:02:25.440 --> 00:02:31.200 Intel Core Ultra 9 processor, the 386H 00:02:28.959 --> 00:02:33.760 version. You can also get a Ryzen AI 00:02:31.200 --> 00:02:36.319 9365 version, depending on if you want 00:02:33.760 --> 00:02:38.560 to be an AMD boy or an Intel boy. For 00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:40.959 us, we got the Intel version as well as 00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:44.640 a 5090. 00:02:40.959 --> 00:02:46.720 But if you want to get the 5090 that is 00:02:44.640 --> 00:02:49.280 in here, you have to go with the Intel 00:02:46.720 --> 00:02:54.000 skew. The AMD skew only limits you to a 00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:56.160 5060. Oh, only a 5060. I need my mobile 00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:58.160 5090. 00:02:56.160 --> 00:03:00.400 That is monstrous. You can get it with 00:02:58.160 --> 00:03:02.879 up to 64 gigs of RAM as well. In our 00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:04.560 config, we only got 32 gigs cuz let's 00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:06.400 face it, ain't nobody want to pay more 00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:08.879 than that because of RAM prices. And we 00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:10.720 have two terabyte of storage. For the 00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:12.239 rest of the exterior of the laptop, I 00:03:10.720 --> 00:03:13.920 know I kind of googled it how thin it 00:03:12.239 --> 00:03:15.680 was. On the right side of our laptop, we 00:03:13.920 --> 00:03:19.680 have our Thunderbolt 5 port, full-size 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:22.239 SD card reader, a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port, 00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:23.680 and an HDMI 2.1 port, as well as your 00:03:22.239 --> 00:03:25.680 Kensington lock. And the thing with 00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:27.840 Thunderbolt 5 is you can get 80 Gbit per 00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:29.440 second. That's really great if you were 00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:31.360 going to connect an external GPU, for 00:03:29.440 --> 00:03:33.280 example. I don't expect you would 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:35.040 because again, this one has the 5090. 00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:36.480 And on our left side, we have another 00:03:35.040 --> 00:03:38.799 Thunderbolt port. This one's just 00:03:36.480 --> 00:03:41.760 Thunderbolt 4. We have another two USB 00:03:38.799 --> 00:03:43.680 3.2 ports. And oh, that's the power 00:03:41.760 --> 00:03:45.599 cable there. That proprietary one that I 00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:48.319 thought was USBC. And then a combo 00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:50.879 headphone audio jack there. And on the 00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:52.239 back, nothing. On the front, nothing. 00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:54.959 But you know what is all over this 00:03:52.239 --> 00:03:59.000 device? Holy crap. I've had it in my 00:03:54.959 --> 00:03:59.000 hand for like four seconds. 00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:04.640 Oh my gosh, that's brutal. My hands are 00:04:02.640 --> 00:04:06.239 not even that sweaty today. And I I I 00:04:04.640 --> 00:04:09.680 know I've said I'm a sweaty boy before 00:04:06.239 --> 00:04:11.840 in past, you know, short circuits. 00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:14.080 It should not be that bad. That's pretty 00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:16.400 brutal. You know what? With how thin 00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:18.400 this laptop is, I wonder if it'll pass 00:04:16.400 --> 00:04:22.840 the Apple MacBook test. For those who 00:04:18.400 --> 00:04:22.840 don't know what it is, one hand open. 00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:30.639 That's pretty good. Usually what can 00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:32.080 happen on these laptops is you can see 00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:34.160 as you're pulling up the hinge, the 00:04:32.080 --> 00:04:35.600 bottom will lift up. The only thing I 00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:38.960 struggled with was actually getting my 00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:41.199 finger like in there. 00:04:38.960 --> 00:04:43.600 It's pretty It's pretty slick. That's 00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:45.600 pretty nice. I won't lie. As for our 00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:48.960 keyboard, holy crap, that's a big 00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:50.560 trackpad. What a big laptop. 00:04:48.960 --> 00:04:52.080 It's just kind of hitting me the scale 00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:54.240 of this laptop. And I think it was when 00:04:52.080 --> 00:04:56.800 I noticed the size of the trackpad. Oo, 00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:58.400 look at that RGB, baby. Back lit 00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:01.759 keyboard. That is a very bright 00:04:58.400 --> 00:05:06.960 backlight as well. Holy cow, this screen 00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:08.560 looks great. Wow. I obviously not the 00:05:06.960 --> 00:05:10.080 greatest with anti-glare as you can see, 00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:14.240 but again, I know I'm in a studio with 00:05:10.080 --> 00:05:17.199 giant lights at it, but it is very, very 00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:18.479 nice with this background. I really like 00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:20.720 this display already. I mean, I haven't 00:05:18.479 --> 00:05:22.639 seen any content yet. Maybe I'll hold my 00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:25.919 thoughts. I'll hold my thoughts. Okay, 00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:29.600 it is 2560 by600, 00:05:25.919 --> 00:05:32.400 240 hertz, which my monitor at home is 00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:33.840 like 120. I I don't know how laptops 00:05:32.400 --> 00:05:36.479 keep getting like faster and faster 00:05:33.840 --> 00:05:38.560 herz. My monitor at home just trucking 00:05:36.479 --> 00:05:40.400 along at 120, baby. I don't know if 00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:42.639 you'll even get the full use of the 240 00:05:40.400 --> 00:05:44.720 Hz. I know I mentioned that the GPU in 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:46.639 this is a 5090, but one thing that a lot 00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:48.400 of people don't know about laptops is 00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:51.520 there's actually different, you know, 00:05:48.400 --> 00:05:53.919 5090s and different 5080s. It depends on 00:05:51.520 --> 00:05:56.479 what the board is drawing in terms of 00:05:53.919 --> 00:05:58.479 power. For example, in our tests that 00:05:56.479 --> 00:06:02.960 are coming up, we compared it to an Omen 00:05:58.479 --> 00:06:07.039 laptop. That 5090 can reach 175 watts, 00:06:02.960 --> 00:06:08.560 whereas this Razer Blade 16 reaches 165. 00:06:07.039 --> 00:06:10.960 Now, you might be thinking, well, can't 00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:13.600 I just unlock it to 175 or can't I 00:06:10.960 --> 00:06:15.919 change them or whatever? Not really with 00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:19.280 how NVIDIA does their mobile GPUs. So, 00:06:15.919 --> 00:06:21.600 while it is a 5090, it's not the best 00:06:19.280 --> 00:06:23.039 mobile 5090. And I guess we'll see how 00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:25.199 that actually plays into some of our 00:06:23.039 --> 00:06:27.520 results later. But, I want to do some 00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:29.759 tests of typing. I want to get into some 00:06:27.520 --> 00:06:31.919 audio tests. And I also want to get into 00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:33.680 this message from our sponsor. You can't 00:06:31.919 --> 00:06:34.880 keep a whole laptop or hard drive in 00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:37.280 your pocket all the time. That's 00:06:34.880 --> 00:06:39.840 ridiculous. But you can use UG Green NAS 00:06:37.280 --> 00:06:41.360 like the DXP 4800 Pro. It's basically 00:06:39.840 --> 00:06:42.800 like having your own personal cloud, so 00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:44.960 you can access all of your photos, 00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:46.639 videos, and documents on the go safely 00:06:44.960 --> 00:06:49.919 and cheaper than paying for cloud 00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:52.000 storage, too. It supports up to 144 tab 00:06:49.919 --> 00:06:54.080 of storage, which is approximately 50 00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:55.919 million photos of my cat, which is the 00:06:54.080 --> 00:06:59.680 perfect number of cat photos. Grab your 00:06:55.919 --> 00:07:00.880 UG DXP 4800 Pro using our link below. 00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:02.560 Like I said earlier, this thing's heavy. 00:07:00.880 --> 00:07:03.919 I want to do a quick bend test. if I 00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:05.360 break this before we actually get into 00:07:03.919 --> 00:07:06.560 gaming. But 00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:07.039 >> that's that's why they call them short 00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:12.440 circuits. 00:07:07.039 --> 00:07:12.440 >> That's shortest ShortCircuit. Oh, 00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:19.440 you know what? For being how thin it is, 00:07:17.039 --> 00:07:21.199 I think it is understandable that it 00:07:19.440 --> 00:07:22.960 bends that much. It still makes me 00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:26.080 uncomfortable. Uh the actual chassis 00:07:22.960 --> 00:07:29.759 itself though, like the rest of it. Oh, 00:07:26.080 --> 00:07:30.880 I can hear it creaking. But it is Try to 00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:32.400 get it lined up here and I'll try to 00:07:30.880 --> 00:07:35.680 twist it. 00:07:32.400 --> 00:07:37.599 It's pretty good. It's pretty I'm giving 00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:39.520 it pretty good beans there. And it's got 00:07:37.599 --> 00:07:43.039 some good rigidity. I wonder how that 00:07:39.520 --> 00:07:44.639 translates into typing, though. 00:07:43.039 --> 00:07:49.479 Oh, 00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:49.479 I love this keyboard. Oh, 00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:52.880 this might be one of the best laptop 00:07:51.520 --> 00:07:54.479 keyboards I've typed on. It is a 00:07:52.880 --> 00:07:56.800 membrane. I'm reading my notes here on 00:07:54.479 --> 00:08:01.199 it. Sorry. 1.5 millimeters of travel 00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:02.560 membrane keyboard. I 00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:04.319 got a little bit of deck flex. You can 00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:06.479 definitely see, but I'm also like all 00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:08.160 eight fingers 00:08:06.479 --> 00:08:09.919 giving her pretty good. If I'm just 00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:12.319 typing, 00:08:09.919 --> 00:08:14.160 you can't really see any. I I don't know 00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:16.400 why. Maybe it's cuz the meme of Razer 00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:18.000 and how like hardcores hate Razer. You 00:08:16.400 --> 00:08:20.000 kind of go into these videos kind of 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:21.360 skeptical. I think this might be my 00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:24.000 favorite keyboard I've ever typed on a 00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:25.599 laptop. I'm very impressed. Razer, I do 00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:26.879 want to play with the trackpad a bit 00:08:25.599 --> 00:08:28.560 more. 00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:30.319 Trackpad not the smoothest to glide 00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:31.759 over. The click is very satisfying. I 00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:32.959 can tell when I'm clicking though. It's 00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:34.959 definitely a bottom left and bottom 00:08:32.959 --> 00:08:36.159 right click on this. Are my gestures 00:08:34.959 --> 00:08:37.440 going to work? Yeah, it seems like my 00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:39.200 gestures are going to work. So, if I 00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:41.760 want to go multi- desktop or anything, I 00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:43.279 like how big of a trackpad it is. As 00:08:41.760 --> 00:08:45.920 long as palm rejection does a pretty 00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:48.240 good job, which 00:08:45.920 --> 00:08:50.080 I'm seeing some movement in my cursor 00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:51.760 when I just am kind of like moving my 00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:53.920 hand along the keyboard here. I've seen 00:08:51.760 --> 00:08:55.839 better palm rejection, 00:08:53.920 --> 00:08:59.120 I will say. You notice that when I'm 00:08:55.839 --> 00:09:02.240 typing, look at the screen. 00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:04.399 It's got it's it's subtle, but it is 00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:06.000 it's wobbling. 00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:07.519 That could be just because of the table. 00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:08.959 I'm not going to give full blame to 00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:10.480 Razer on that. I do want to listen to 00:09:08.959 --> 00:09:11.600 some audio, and I do want to watch some 00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:14.959 video on this thing, though. This screen 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:17.040 looks really nice. The laptop has six 00:09:14.959 --> 00:09:21.200 speakers total, four upfiring and two 00:09:17.040 --> 00:09:23.600 downfiring. And hey, that THX, 00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:24.959 this better sound freaking amazing. I've 00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:26.160 got a little board underneath here so 00:09:24.959 --> 00:09:28.720 it's not directly firing into our 00:09:26.160 --> 00:09:31.839 deskpad from ltstore.com. All right. You 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:35.240 know me, I like to do 100% volume first. 00:09:31.839 --> 00:09:35.240 Here we go. 00:09:38.160 --> 00:09:42.680 It's not as loud as I thought it was 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:42.680 going to be. 00:09:43.920 --> 00:09:48.480 It's not as loud as I expected it to be 00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:51.120 at 100%. But what I will say is it 00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:53.120 sounds really good. Um, the only thing I 00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:56.720 noticed a little bit weird was the snare 00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:58.720 just before the drop, but 00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:00.880 that was probably a personal preference 00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:03.600 for me that the Lenovo, for example, had 00:10:00.880 --> 00:10:06.080 way worse on the snare. Um, the MacBook 00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:07.920 had way worse on the bass, right? This 00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:10.080 has a very nice balance across the 00:10:07.920 --> 00:10:13.040 entire mix. I'm going to turn it down to 00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:16.600 50% though, and we'll see kind of what 00:10:13.040 --> 00:10:16.600 that sounds like. 00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:21.440 Did that turn down? That sounds almost 00:10:19.040 --> 00:10:26.440 the exact same volume. 00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:26.440 I'm at 50% now. 100%. 00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:37.760 I almost feel like my volume is on a 00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:38.320 curve. I don't think my volume is linear 00:10:37.760 --> 00:10:39.839 on this. 00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:42.240 >> It's almost like it's curve like that. 00:10:39.839 --> 00:10:45.680 >> Yeah. Sorry. Curve the other way. Yes. 00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:49.360 Not not this way. because the 50% did 00:10:45.680 --> 00:10:51.839 not sound half as loud as the 100%. 00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:54.079 So, keep that in mind. I guess it still 00:10:51.839 --> 00:10:56.480 sounds very good. These speakers sound 00:10:54.079 --> 00:10:59.200 awesome on a laptop, 00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:02.480 especially again, man, for something 00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:04.800 this freaking thin, dude. Holy cow. The 00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:06.640 fan grills one and two here. I kind of 00:11:04.800 --> 00:11:08.160 just picked it up with one hand and one 00:11:06.640 --> 00:11:10.480 of my hands happened to land on the fan 00:11:08.160 --> 00:11:12.560 grill and all of the weight went through 00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:15.279 this mesh and I could actually rub the 00:11:12.560 --> 00:11:16.560 fan. Uh, now it's not going, but I don't 00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:18.880 know if the fan's not spinning because I 00:11:16.560 --> 00:11:20.000 broke it or if it's just not hot enough. 00:11:18.880 --> 00:11:21.839 >> We'll see you when we game. 00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:25.839 >> We'll see you when we game or open it up 00:11:21.839 --> 00:11:27.360 later. That is not good. Uh, yeah, that 00:11:25.839 --> 00:11:29.519 I didn't like. I don't think I've ever 00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:32.720 encountered that on a laptop before. All 00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:37.680 righty. I've got my Cyberpunk here. It's 00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:40.079 time to play 16. I had a stroke. 00:11:37.680 --> 00:11:43.040 So, we're on 1600 resolution here. We're 00:11:40.079 --> 00:11:44.720 on ultra settings and we got no rate 00:11:43.040 --> 00:11:47.519 tracing, no upscaling or anything like 00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:49.519 that. And I've got a 100 FPS average as 00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:52.480 I'm just driving through the back desert 00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:55.040 here with my 1% lows 00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:56.959 being almost 100. It dipped to 90 there, 00:11:55.040 --> 00:11:58.640 but that's rock solid. That means I'm 00:11:56.959 --> 00:12:00.480 not going to notice any weird hitching, 00:11:58.640 --> 00:12:03.920 right? Sometimes having a high average 00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:06.160 FPS isn't the best. If your 1% lows dip 00:12:03.920 --> 00:12:08.480 to 30, 60, or whatever it may be, that's 00:12:06.160 --> 00:12:10.639 when you notice like the oh my gosh, a 00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:14.160 stutter. Having it very tight between 00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:16.240 your average and your 1% lows is 00:12:14.160 --> 00:12:18.240 that's nice. 00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:23.480 What's not nice? Do you hear those fans? 00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:23.480 Can you hear them on the mic? Holy crap. 00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:31.680 That's the THX. That's where they get it 00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:35.839 from. Okay, 00:12:31.680 --> 00:12:37.760 this is hot to the touch. 00:12:35.839 --> 00:12:42.959 Like I could not comfortably hold my 00:12:37.760 --> 00:12:46.880 finger on this spot right here for more 00:12:42.959 --> 00:12:48.880 than 5 seconds. Like I I would feel very 00:12:46.880 --> 00:12:51.519 uncomfortable. Actually, this whole top 00:12:48.880 --> 00:12:52.560 bar I would not feel comfortable. I mean 00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:53.760 that makes sense. That's where the 00:12:52.560 --> 00:12:56.639 exhaust is. That's where everything's 00:12:53.760 --> 00:12:58.399 coming out. But like 00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:00.160 I'm kind of surprised that passed 00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:02.240 certification. 00:13:00.160 --> 00:13:04.480 It's pretty hot. For those who don't 00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:05.920 know when manufacturers are making 00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:08.560 devices there are certain things that 00:13:05.920 --> 00:13:10.959 they have to pass in terms of you know 00:13:08.560 --> 00:13:12.160 em what is it emf radiation or like 00:13:10.959 --> 00:13:14.000 whatever and then there's also 00:13:12.160 --> 00:13:16.160 temperature so the surface of these 00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:18.560 devices cannot actually exceed a certain 00:13:16.160 --> 00:13:20.959 temperature because if you were to hold 00:13:18.560 --> 00:13:23.120 it or put it on your lap being a laptop 00:13:20.959 --> 00:13:25.120 it could actually burn you and I'd be 00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:27.519 very shocked if somehow this passed 00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:31.440 certification it's like uncomfortable to 00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:34.079 touch too hot razor genuinely And now 00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:35.360 that the fans are spinning, 00:13:34.079 --> 00:13:36.800 I'm going to see if I can recreate this 00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:41.279 again if I pick it up with one hand. 00:13:36.800 --> 00:13:46.480 Ready? Yeah. Do you hear that? 00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:48.880 I can touch the fan on both sides. 00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:51.040 Not great for how rigid everything else 00:13:48.880 --> 00:13:52.880 felt. I'm surprised that that's an 00:13:51.040 --> 00:13:54.480 oversight cuz I often pick up my laptop 00:13:52.880 --> 00:13:56.720 with one hand. I hope I'm not the only 00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:59.600 one. All right, let me power this thing 00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:02.079 down. Let's open it up and let's talk 00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:04.160 about some of the performance results. 00:14:02.079 --> 00:14:05.600 Non-captive screws. That's fine. 00:14:04.160 --> 00:14:07.920 Whatever. At least the screws are 00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:09.279 relatively easy to access. As for the 00:14:07.920 --> 00:14:11.680 performance of this laptop, we compared 00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:13.839 it to a very similarly spec HP Omen 00:14:11.680 --> 00:14:17.120 laptop with the difference being that 00:14:13.839 --> 00:14:19.839 that 5090 on the HP Omen draws 175 00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:21.839 watts. And as you can see, it basically 00:14:19.839 --> 00:14:24.560 results in the HP Omen being just 00:14:21.839 --> 00:14:27.600 slightly better. The only difference was 00:14:24.560 --> 00:14:30.160 in 1200p, the Razer laptop outperformed 00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:31.839 in Cyberpunk. That makes sense because 00:14:30.160 --> 00:14:33.760 at that lower resolution, you're 00:14:31.839 --> 00:14:36.399 probably more CPU bottleneck than you 00:14:33.760 --> 00:14:38.320 would be GPU bottlenecked. But even 00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:40.000 though it's drawing less wattage, it's 00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:42.480 well within what we would expect the 00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:44.160 performance of a mobile 5090 to be. I 00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:46.399 will say the biggest difference between 00:14:44.160 --> 00:14:48.160 the HP Omen and the Razer was that there 00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:50.959 was a bigger difference between your 00:14:48.160 --> 00:14:52.240 average and your 1% lows. Kind of like I 00:14:50.959 --> 00:14:55.040 pointed out when I was actually gaming 00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:59.040 in Cyberpunk there. 00:14:55.040 --> 00:15:01.839 But all my screws are out. I think it 00:14:59.040 --> 00:15:04.160 Yeah, the fan base broke. 00:15:01.839 --> 00:15:06.880 Wait, is this just a slide off? Wow, 00:15:04.160 --> 00:15:09.440 that was really easy. I will give Razer 00:15:06.880 --> 00:15:11.519 credit. There's no clips holding it in. 00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:13.680 That was actually just a simple pop off 00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:16.240 after I got all my screws out. Very 00:15:13.680 --> 00:15:18.639 nice, Razer. I like to see it cuz 00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:21.040 that'll make upgrading things like your 00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:23.680 storage easier or your Wi-Fi card easier 00:15:21.040 --> 00:15:25.519 or adding a secondary drive. You can fit 00:15:23.680 --> 00:15:28.399 up to 8 terabytes total in this if you 00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:30.240 put two 4 TB drives in. 00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:32.079 Other than that, it's kind of kind of 00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:34.720 empty. The whole vapor chamber is under 00:15:32.079 --> 00:15:36.720 here. Even this is still warm after it's 00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:40.480 been off for a couple minutes now. And 00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:45.680 our battery here, where's our size? 00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:48.800 90Wh hour battery. That is a chonker. 00:15:45.680 --> 00:15:52.480 Wait, normal. Sorry, I see typical 00:15:48.800 --> 00:15:53.199 capacity and normal energy. What's the 00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:55.759 difference? 00:15:53.199 --> 00:15:57.360 >> Yeah. So, it's funny cuz when I did the 00:15:55.759 --> 00:16:00.160 battery report as well, the the power 00:15:57.360 --> 00:16:01.600 CFG battery report, it also reports 85 00:16:00.160 --> 00:16:05.279 uh watt hours. So, 00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:06.959 >> but Razer's website says 90. M look, it 00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:09.759 might have gotten less performance in 00:16:06.959 --> 00:16:11.600 our games, but holy cow, even though 00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:14.320 there was only a 2Wh hour difference 00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:18.880 between this and that HP Omen, this 00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:21.120 battery lasted more than 6 hours longer. 00:16:18.880 --> 00:16:25.120 It got almost 10 and 1/2 hours compared 00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:27.360 to 4 and 1/2 on the HP Omen. 00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:29.519 Man, Panther Lake is awesome, isn't it? 00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:31.279 As for getting fully charged, our Razer 00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:33.440 Blade took just over a 100 minutes to 00:16:31.279 --> 00:16:35.360 get fully charged. HP Omen took about 00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:37.680 120. And Razer claims on their website 00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:40.240 that you can go from 0 to 80% in about 00:16:37.680 --> 00:16:43.199 45 minutes. We were not able to test 00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:45.680 that claim, but hey, quick charge times 00:16:43.199 --> 00:16:48.240 always appreciated. And long battery 00:16:45.680 --> 00:16:49.440 life also always appreciated. I kind of 00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:51.120 glossed over it though, but you could 00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:54.079 swap out your Wi-Fi card. Probably won't 00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:55.360 need to. It's Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6. I 00:16:54.079 --> 00:16:56.880 think this is one of the first laptops 00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:59.360 I've opened that had Bluetooth 6. Most 00:16:56.880 --> 00:17:01.360 of them are on 5.4 or 5.2. And other 00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:06.480 than that, that's the Razer Blade 00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:09.360 laptop. But how much does it cost? 00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:10.640 This is where uh this is where it's 00:17:09.360 --> 00:17:15.000 probably going to be a turnoff the video 00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:15.000 for a lot of you. It's $4500. 00:17:15.919 --> 00:17:19.600 Man, this is where I get conflicted, 00:17:17.919 --> 00:17:22.079 right? Because obviously that is an 00:17:19.600 --> 00:17:24.400 insane amount of money and I should be 00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:26.480 angry. Ah, it's a lot of money. You're 00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:28.079 getting a lot of laptop for that money. 00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:29.600 You're getting a 5090. You're getting 00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:31.200 incredible battery life because you got 00:17:29.600 --> 00:17:33.120 the Panther Lake. I mean, a lot of that 00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:34.720 price could come from just crazy DRAM 00:17:33.120 --> 00:17:36.559 prices right now. You know, SSDs are 00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:38.640 expensive. RAM is really expensive, 00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:40.480 which you'll notice now that I'm in it, 00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:43.039 RAM is not upgradeable. And that's 00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:45.760 because in order to hit the insane speed 00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:48.080 of 9600 megat transfers per second, 00:17:45.760 --> 00:17:49.760 needs to be soldered. 00:17:48.080 --> 00:17:52.080 And this is where I get torn again. 00:17:49.760 --> 00:17:54.240 We're now getting incredible RAM speeds. 00:17:52.080 --> 00:17:56.640 Like 9600 mega transfers per second is 00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:58.799 unbelievable. But we're compromising 00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:00.240 upgradability or repairability in order 00:17:58.799 --> 00:18:01.679 to hit those speeds. This isn't the 00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:02.960 first time we've seen it, right? I don't 00:18:01.679 --> 00:18:04.480 know. I'd be curious to know what you 00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:06.400 guys would prefer. Do you guys like the 00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:08.000 crazy high speeds and performance of it, 00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:10.000 or do you think it's worth the lower 00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:11.919 speed in order to be able to swap it 00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:13.679 out? I guess for you, it's going to 00:18:11.919 --> 00:18:17.200 depend on what you want out of the Razer 00:18:13.679 --> 00:18:19.600 Blade 16. I think the top spec is $5,000 00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:22.080 right now, and the entry point is around 00:18:19.600 --> 00:18:23.440 the $2,000 mark. $2,000 is still a lot 00:18:22.080 --> 00:18:25.280 of money for a laptop, by the you can 00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:26.720 get a MacBook at that price. And 00:18:25.280 --> 00:18:29.120 depending on what you're doing it for, 00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:30.799 that could probably be better for you. 00:18:29.120 --> 00:18:32.960 But I'd be curious to know what you guys 00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:34.559 think. And honestly, what do you guys 00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:36.000 think about how thin this is? It's nice 00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:37.760 that we're getting Windows laptops this 00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:39.520 thin. If you guys are interested in 00:18:37.760 --> 00:18:41.280 super thin laptop designs like this, go 00:18:39.520 --> 00:18:44.160 check out Adam's video on the ZenBook 00:18:41.280 --> 00:18:46.160 16. It's kind of similar in terms of its 00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:47.200 thinness. And well, I didn't watch the 00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:48.160 video yet, so I can't actually tell you 00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:49.120 how the video went. So, 00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:50.960 >> hey 16. 00:18:49.120 --> 00:18:53.960 >> WHAT THE DID I SAY? 00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:53.960 >> 16.
