Razer's back with a new version of their fairly well-received Blade 16 laptop, but this time, with a Lamborghini collaboration. With some heavy-duty specs, a sweet design, and a WORLD'S FIRST dual-mode display(?), will Alex be impressed, or does this need to go back for a pit stop?

This laptop is a representation of the practicality of owning a Lamborghini.
You own Lambo for two things, to have some fun occasionally and to be able to re-sell it double or triple.
@@RIlianP No you own a Lamborghini because you are small down stairs.
@@fel-venreal men buy m3 e30s fr
@@fel-ven Unless it's a Lambo Uterus.
And also the same kind of experience . Really cool but there's always something wrong
"Do you ever just want all of the reliability of an Italian sportscar and Razer laptops combined?"
I haven't laughed this hard in a long time 🤣
"As you can see, S, S really likes moving. D is a lot stiffer."
Alex is on fire today
Are Italian sports cars reliable? I’m assuming they’re not for the average Joe, unless they have money to spare.
The moment he said that I legitimately said to myself: "RELIABILITY!?!?!? Ye bro, if you say so...."
For people who don't understand, Razer and Italian automobiles are notoriously unreliable.
@@AlphaOmegaKnight77658 They're more reliable than mclaren but that bar is already pretty low.
The display and price make this a no brainer to ignore!
I think you underestimate the power of the stupid
@@meal_team_six expect to see one of these on the front seat of all the Vancouver Lamborghinis with L magnets on them. It’s all about conspicuous consumption.
Mini led display is like that across all laptops I believe, even on Asus laptop, it is recomended to turn it off except for gaming and video consumption.
@@GH0STST4RSCR34M Well I do like some of their products, which are actually nice. But yea you're not wrong though, most of it is pure trash. Lmao.
@@GH0STST4RSCR34Mye the only thing they seem to do right is mice, but they still charge that “apple like” premium on them
The collab that literally nobody wanted, asked for, or needed, and will raise the price for literally the exact same cost that it came with.
I mean there's only 150 made, it is quite literally just a collector/hobbyist thing and something Lambo owners will gobble up real quick. Not sure why there's any problem with it.
149 cos one of them is Min Liang's.
Me cool I want one
The same for the gaming chair collab they did with Lamborghini. Even the Koenigsegg version of the chair is cheaper than the lambo one.
it is more expensive because Lamborghini gets a piece now
cool, but why
Asus x Lambo has been done decades ago.
Lambo
@@lamefart8831that one took actual efford and not just an orange strip and a wallpaper
Good question
Because luxury manufacturers always do collaborations with manufacturers to "crossover".....see Porsche's Porsche Design collaborations for example, everything from shoes, to watches, to even PC monitors.
It's not so much that the collaboration's products are "great"(some have been), but that they're exclusive, so people will buy them either for the exclusivity, brand loyalty, or because they think they'll be worth something in the future.
I love the consistency. Lamborghini has a colab with Secrelab. The chair is green.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Green chair orange laptop and the OG Lamborghini color is Yellow.
@@janhoogland6104 They had a green Gallardo on Top Gear.
Who the F wants a green chair? 😂
They have an chair with razer
The dragging the window around to show the lagging really did a number on my eyes.
If you had it in coffee shop people would like "lol". I also imagine that person buying this would be wearing full Lambo branded tracksuit and shoes.
This is the way!
he would probably drive a Fiat too, but with a lambo key chain
if you had this in my country, people would think that you just slapped a sticker on your laptop and you're a massive lambo fanboy. Honestly, it's not even that good, personally speaking.
@@DantesGrill dont forget the racing gloves
Nah man. They won't have that reaction since no one would have heard about Razer Lamborghini at all. People at coffee shops tend to use Macbooks and hate Windows so they have no idea about other options.
I feel like Razor laptops are what would happen if you asked a bunch of Apple engineers to design a PC laptop and there was a really bad gas leak.
pretty accurate, also they were smoking crack
@@Enzo187 lool
Sorry, I've had to fart really bad
Hah
It’s what happens when you hire a bunch of industrial designers and ONLY industrial designers.
It even gets a free spoiler after a year of use. The battery will inflate and push the track pad out, so it will look like a spoiler. Happens twice to me...
Has this still not been fixed lmao
U literally can't fix it unless u just don't use batteries what hell??? Lol
the battery bulge is on older models and has been fixed
The problem its the heat not isolated from the rest of the laptop
@@RadaSmada Had this problem on my 2019 and 2021 model, after that I switched to a Thinkpad, really glad i mad the switch.
For $5K, you can get a lot of computer from so many other manufacturers. Ouch!
Don't expect a collab to be cheap mate. Look at Asus with evangelion, MSI with Mercedes.
Like the F1 Macclaren google limited edition chromebook with twice the google drive space!
@@keonxd8918Good point, but the OnePlus McLaren Edition 7t Pro phones were had for pretty reasonable prices and can now be had for only $300 or so. Not to say collabs aren't expensive but I'm just saying that just because a collab happens between two brands doesn't and shouldn't make the item much more expensive especially if it's just a color and wallpaper. Obviously there's branding involved too but still.
for 5k i could build a killer sim rig
@@keonxd8918 The regular Blade with the same specs is $4000 instead of 5000, it's not a cheap computer either way
I have the non-Lamborghini version of this laptop. The build quality is amazing, the trackpad is fantastic, the performance is phenomenal, the keyboard is great, the screen in gaming is amazing… the mini led screen in desktop use is however utterly garbage… as shown in the video the led lag and mouse cursor/icon variable brightness is dreadful. I also have a mini led MacBook Pro and its screen is perfect with none of those problems, so this is a failure by Razer. You need the option to turn off local dimming when in desktop mode, which would totally solve the problem, but Razer doesn’t let you do that, it SO annoying.
I disagree, this trackpad is ass. like AT LEAST 40% of the time it never left clicks properly the first time, often I'll have to click it like 6 times before it wants to register. This thing is pissing me off, what a rip off.
I love that you're wearing the Edison motors hat! They're doing awesome work I'm a huge fan
Aren't they just stealing from Tesla?
@@meal_team_six why caring about some random ass electric car company "stealing" just another electric car company that will flame everyone because of 69 funi twitter man
Right? I thought it was wild to see a hybrid logging truck hat on a LTT host, but I'm glad they're getting the exposure!
@@SnowIsMyTerrain There's a Floatplane of some of the LTT "car guys" going to an electric car expo - they practically have to pull Alex away from the thing, he wants to drive it fast down logging roads (he's from Nova Scotia)
Came to say this!
I missed Alex laptop reviews so much, thanks!
My Dell laptop I had for work had the same screen dimming issue when it was first released. After around 2 months they finally fixed it... but by that time, I bought myself a Macbook Air for work, and called it a day.
Love to see Alex reviewing laptops :D
Honestly, the only thing missing is a rev up sound on startup xD
The dual mode display is a cool idea in theory, and might work really well in 5 or 6 years.
Is that a freaking edison motors cap?!!! That makes me hope there is a collab coming. I want this!
I like how when its open the loggo is upside down for people that see it :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))
I got both the Lamborghini vx1 and vx2 laptops! Really fun to have. I will buy this one too in 15 years!
It sounds like maybe there was a fault with the display. It would have been good for Razor to double check your findings as given their other laptops, that display behaviour seems odd.
If only LTT wasn’t lazy and actually reached out to Razer before publishing this video, but I’m sure they just said, “It’s only ShortCircuit, fuck it!”
@@Koenigjay LTT needs to reach out? It costs 5k, and at this price point, there shouldn't be any fault to begin with.
@@Priyajit_Ghosh yes, and it will definitely land in the hands of real customers :(.
New things can be faulty too, it just happens with electronics, should it be faulty no, but it could happen, maybe it was dropped in shipping, the screen might have been faulty from factory. There could be all sorts of reasons. @@Priyajit_Ghosh
Also I am not suggesting LTT was at fault or lazy, they clearly tested it well, I am just saying maybe they found an issue Razor was not aware of or possibly just that unit?
@@Priyajit_Ghosh it’s a review unit, and either way, if something is broken or faulty, why should you NOT reach out to get help with it? It’s more expensive so don’t help me fix the problem!
Apparently Synapse and THX Spatial Audio aren't the only things Razer have broken...
IT'S THIS SCREEN OMGGGG
Loving the Edison Motors hat! Those guys are awesome
i was looking for exactly this. most reviews focus on showing fancy looking videos and gameplay to showcase the miniLED but i just wanted to see normal desktop use. thanks!
For speaker loudness demos and comparisons, have LTT used a decibel meter in the background? Something that just spits out readouts while the sound it playing
If there is a $5 Lamborghini coupon inside, that's the true collaboration.
alex is the perfect host, laptop and car dude
that "Y" pattern on the back makes me think of lenovo laptops
Every time I hear crabrave now I hopefully await Linus coming in dancing through the set.
For that price tag you can almost get a maxed out Macbook Pro 16 inch
That MacBook Pro will be better then whatever this is.
Paperweight
I can’t tell you how much I have missed laptop reviews
Thank you so much Alex
Edison Motors hat is awesome, love that they're from BC too!
Honestly, I love it just for the colour alone. Don't care about the Lambo collaboration, just the pretty orange is enough to get me interested in it
get a framework laptop they have a orange colors too. and they are actually decent.
@@dorian6021 I agree but it's not just on the three lines at the lid. The ports are orange and there is a script at the back, the fans too.
Does this laptop have an AUO or BOE screen? Razer uses both manufacturers for their MiniLED screens and when comparing them side by side at a local store, the AUO is noticeably more uniform. The BOE screen had pretty bad blooming as well as a more grainy look. It's a shame that there's no option for single zone backlight like Asus models.
hey that's the car I'm driving in the wallpaper, the only miniLED done right I think is MacBook pro, especially after using an OLED monitor for my pc
OEMs always miss the opportunity to make the default startup sound an engine starting.
That opening was so slick
This is where you should've compared with a 16" MacBook Pro for both speakers and mini-LED display.
So you somewhat fixed the screen by changing the resolutioon a couple of times and that didn't warrant a reshoot? i thought this was something that you were supposed to fix regarding the the whole 3090 4090 cooler debacle.
LOVE THE EDISON MOTORS HAT!
are LTT using different microphones, i can hear the reverberation of the room, the mic in the laptop actually sounds clearer than the mic in the room.
Nice edison motors hat. Was potentially thinking of one myself. Cool company. Hope they do well.
If you guys won't have a use for that laptop, I would take it. Nice present :D
1:26 love how they wiped greasy fingertips between takes lmao
i have a explaination for the screen , maybe its the oled display doing an pixel colour overshoot causing the bright areas to be brighter and undershoot in darker areas , but small icons taking small amount of pixels on screen covered with bigger quantity of dark pixels causing the faded icon effect it possibly isnt only on sides of the screen if you apply a completely bright wallpaper , also the halo around curser could be a result of overshooting white colour and the light partially being spreaded across it , also you mentioned the peak brightnes was measured 300 nits above the rated that is a straight up sign of colour overshooting , screen manufacturers do that to make screens more responsive and anti ghosting
It is not OLED though, but a Mini-LED back-lit LCD screen.
The halos around the coursor are probably just the dimming zones and since they switch really slowly you get a long trail and the window becomes dark when dragging it around.
@@cdbtheclaw i said maybe its oled but even though colour overshoot is also possible in backlit lcd or ips panels as well , and totally concluding its just a bad display or maybe badly tuned display
Razer does not need to collaborate with anyone. Their whole schtick should be that they build gaming laptops for people who are used to the materials and chassis quality of MacBooks. I've had my Blade 15 advanced for over a year and it's the only windows laptop I have ever owned that comes close to actually feeling like the MacBook pro I use for work.
can’t wait for yall do review the framework 16
Me too!
I currently have the same laptop and I do have an issue with the sound. For some reason they have cutoff the bass at 250Hz.. If you compare the price and specs of this laptops to many others, you get a much more better sound with and a better bass response...
Who cares about the speakers on a gaming laptop? You'd better be using headphones at all times.
I love how Razer sent this to these guys because they couldn't sell them out. Also funny to see you guys not be able to correctly work the laptop. Win win.
I have this laptop (same specs but without Lambo collab) and the display is beautiful and you don't notice any of the issues he mentioned in games or in normal content. Yes icons on a dark background are dimmer, but that is the nature of mini-LED and 1000 zones of dimming. In games it looks amazing and watching content, it looks amazing. Black bars are always black, like an OLED. Coming from a previous OLED gaming laptop, I don't miss the OLED as much as I thought I would. It really is beautiful, and much brighter than the OLED was. And I have never had the display bug/issue he had, he probably did not update the display firmware which only can be done by downloading at the Razer website (which isn't ideal, but it does work).
Overall, I really like the laptop and I would buy it again.
Isn't this looking exactly like an MSI laptop? 🤣
Oh gawd! You're right! lol
Looks like a upside down Lenovo Legion Y logo for their gaming stuff. The Asus VX7 colab from from 2011 was way more impressive
I love the Edison Motors hat. Love that truck.
Nice Edison Motors hat, love those guys!
I have the 'Mercury White' (Silver) model. No visible finger gunk with that one. Build quality, gaming performance all excellent. However the backlight issue is really bad considering the cost of these. I raised a case with Razer who replied this was expected behaviour for mini LED. Yes, some degree of blooming is inherent to all mini LED screens, but the severity and particular presentation of the issue here is all down to the local dimming algorithm Razer uses. For gaming not really an issue, but for creative work (which this laptop is also marketed for) this is a deal breaker. Just give us a toggle to a single dimming zone for desktop use......please!
Dude I have the exact same laptop as you, just got it today.. I am .. appalled. Please, anything you can tell me on how to make this thing better would be appreciated. I can't believe I spent this much money on this abomination. Everything just seems...blurry. Can we return this things simply because we hate it?
Also, are you having any issues with the trackpad? It never seems to left click properly the first time. It's like 40% of the time the initial click doesn't f***ing work and sometimes I gotta click something like 6 times for it to register.
I have downloaded the available firmware (like 4 things?) and it hasn't fixed the issue.
I really wish I went with the alienware at this point.
Sorry you're having these issues. If you have a blurry screen surely that is grounds to return it. I don't have the blurry screen issue but then I only run in 4k mode. My trackpad hasn't given me any gripes so far either. My only issues are with the crappy backlight / local dimming that makes general desktop use awful. My only advice is to use a light theme and uniform wallpaper which makes it suck just a little bit less. Also turn HDR off for desktop use. I only really use it for gaming - but if I were planning to use this for anything else I would have been sending it back for sure.@@eskimocheeks9911
the youtube channel technowlux has done reviews on several models with mini-led this year and he says the legion 9i and helios 18 have the best screens he has seen this year so blade 16 is really the only one with terrible mini-led implementation. asus already has perfected it on the flow and zephyrus m16/duo.
I was thinking of getting the dual display but thank god I didn't ! Thank you
Amazing machine, love it!
All of the razer 16 mini led screen are like that i returned it 3 times. I ended up switching to an asus m16 mini led which allows you to switch from multi zone and single zone dimming which fixes the problem. If only Razer implemented it
Single zone is not a solution, you are just converting your mini led display to a one without FALD.
@@Chipsaru it is a solution, as you can switch on the fly when using productivity tools or gaming. So you don’t have that horrible effect when you are trying to work in the laptop
What did you say to be able to return the laptop? I just got mine today and I can't stop grinding my teeth with this purchase. Not only is the screen crap but the trackpad is a piece of garbage too. for 5.5k CAD after taxes this thing is an abomination and I want to return it but not sure how and if I am allowed simply because I hate the thing.
You open the laptop and the logo is upside down, nice.
Would have thought the logo would be the other way round so it's the right way up when open
Top Gear mentioned that these (those) days, Lambo makes he crazy, flamboyant, style stuff and Audi does the boring stuff like making sure that thing actually works as a car too and the doors don't fall off.
Not sure about Audis track record with laptops though.
How bad is the cooling on that thing when the CPU is sitting at over 80° already with less than 40% usage?
9:06 phrasing!
Nice Edison hat! I’ve been following them from the start.
Its wierd that it has to restart to chnage between the resolution options/hz. Does anybldy know why it has to do that?
Super cool... for the owner or tuner of underground racing. And that's about it.
how is this laptop compared to the MSI collabing Mecedes? I think these two are basically the same.
Idk, I still have a Razer blackwidow keyboard and naga hex mouse that Ive been using since 2014. So all I know is the Razer peripherals I bought nearly 10 years ago are still going strong.
11:41 he looks like a robot trying to express emotion😭
I love that we have to pretend a 16in laptop having “full Io” is like some crazy thing.
I have a 10.1 in gdp win max 2 and it has 3 usb A, 2 usbc C thinderbolt, macro and micro as card readers, hdmi out and mini display port out. All in a 10 in form factor. No 16in laptop has any excuse for less.
Loving the Edison Motors hat!!
The orange shape on the laptop and box is the same shape as the one on the Urus front
Holy crap you are repping Edison Motors! Those guys are awesome. Check them out to see Logging trucks in beautiful remote areas.
no touchscreen is usually the price you pay for a non mirrory display and i'm very, VERY happy to pay it for that. What use is a "fantastic OLED black" if all you can see is yourself?
but did he get exited about 2 SSD slots? or did i miss something? 2 is the minimum i expect in a big laptop.
Glossy is better when it comes to 4k especially with such a high pixel density. Colors will also look better.
@@retrofizz727exactly, got my Razer blade OLED from 2021 and it’s so damn beautiful with the glossy display. Wouldn’t want to go back to matte.
I like that Edison Motors hat Alex, will there be a colab at some point?
Truly the Lamborghini experience
During the lab test battery results it says it was tested at 4k 60Hz (13:03 of video), but earlier in the video you called out 4k being 120Hz (3:58 of the video), and at 13:25 you have it back at 120Hz.
4:05 Can't we use the display at any resolution of under the specific resolution like 1440p,1080p and 720p? Didn't used 4k display ever lol
For such a price you should not be having this problem. It should come fully working without needing to figure it out for hours on end
Taking a shot each time alex says "quite"
The packaging was cooler than the laptop...
Some Asus laptops with the MiniLED are like this too. I still like MiniLED for laptops because they get so bright, but you usually want to enable "uniform backlight mode" or whatever when you're doing desktop stuff to avoid the local dimming doing wacky things. I don't know if the Razer has that.
i was thinking maybe profile was in batery saver mode or something like that , 5k $ for laptop with a crappy display should be illegal lol
@@BlackLixtmacbooks cost more & have worse displays. You should get a Lenovo or Asus for half the price and they'd have better build quality.
this is just a thought, try to lower the refresh rate to 60hz, will that fix the problem?
Alexe's fingers placement says gamer 8:38
For 5 grant you can buy a MBP 16" / 16C CPU 40C GPU / 64GB RAM / M3 Max / 2TB SSD and save 400$.
You can even do 128GB RAM / 1TB SSD for $4999
Damn, I love Alex's caps.
omg, that power button placement..
Right?!
I remember the old ASUS Lambo laptops. Always wanted one when I was younger.
Nice hat Alex, when are you reviewing edison motors truck?
how do you mess up a display this bad wow
All the reliability of Italian sportcars and razer laptops combined?
It comes shattered in pieces from the factory?)
I love the Edison Motors hat!
1:33 I would definitely say "Dayum... that guy definitely wasted his money".
No AB sound comparison between a Macbook? Or even anything else
arf , the old Asus G7x series look more Lamborghini (the back looked the as rear, wedge shape ) and had a numerical key pad ... this one it's like modern cars , it's only stickers ... the slots for RAM and M2 it's very nice ;)
My wife had a Lambo laptop (Think it was Acer)
Had no power whatsoever but it did rev up like a Lambo when you started it,
I bought the regular 2023 razer blade16 for my next laptop when it came out. I think screen is better than what he showcases but again I am more of an average consumer so didnt really notice or care as much. rest of the laptop is great. 5k is never worth it for a collab when the regular is 2k and even then I thought I was pushing it my purchase
I'm pretty sure for this model, without the Lambo collab it's more 4k normally, so not as much of a premium
@@RadaSmada yeah the Lambo edition uses all the high end components. Makes sense. I couldn't bring myself to do that :)
Did you get the QHD screen? That's probably why. Only the 4k mini-LED dual display has that problem.
So, this laptop will live in Limp Mode most of the time you have it?
Love the Edison Motors hat!
0:15 I would suggest LAPOGIHINI....!!!😂🤣
