No cheesy crap, no mocking the product while comparing it to something much more expensive and a thorough review on all domains. Great review mate!
I've had my razer blade 15 since July and I'm actually typing with it right now... tbh it's really good and I haven't had any problems with it. Maybe I got lucky, but I feel that it's possible that the product is getting smeared by a minority of people having legitimate problems with their razer products, but I've had many many many razer products since 2014 and I haven't had a problem with a single one.
razer is really good for 3 years please ?
Just got the blade 15. Think I’m gonna have to get it replaced, I’ve got really faint horizontal lines that appears on white backgrounds... I’m about to contact support cause it doesn’t seem normal but at the same time it doesn’t seem like all other normal screen tearing, it’s perfectly even across the entire screen and doesn’t show when you open the majority of apps, I just thought it was some screen resolution effect or something but can’t find any info online so must be a fault in the screen idk. You’ve never noticed this?
Can you turn off the 1060 and RGB lights for general day to day use and better battery life?
Jack B yep
Nicholas Pinedo how’s the battery life on it?
To everyone reading all the negative comments about customer service and getting nervous about purchasing one:
Remember that Razer is still relatively new in this niche laptop market, and it's definitely gone through a learning process with both manufacturing and customer service. Many of the people here reporting horror stories are retelling stories from years ago, back when the company was a lot less experienced, so it makes sense that there would be more problems back then and less problems now. Maybe this is true maybe not, but just remember that many of the stories you hear are from then, not now
Also, it almost goes without saying that you rarely hear from satisfied customers, as they aren't frequenting review videos to throw shade due to a bad experience.
Thanks man, planning to get this bad boy. Its seems good for work and for a decent amount of gaming with a not bad power life (most gaming laptops have a short battery life and this one with a 1060 is around 7 hours, which Im impressed). People just want to make their own brand look good and make Razer look shit, razer atm might be bad or over pricey but hey its not a Mac at least. Xd
Lynn it’s a porterhouse bro...I just bought one off eBay brand new for 1150......razer 15 1060 max q 2018
@@BMUSIK101 bro how is your experience with your laptop from eBay? did you have any problems till today? Thank you
nikke mercuriali no problem at all bro....I upgraded the ram to 36 it came with 16...i also added a 500 ssd...it’s super fast....don’t listen to these bad reviews online.
@@BMUSIK101 Appreciate your comment bro. I'm thinking to get it too, and your answer is really helpful.
Razer support: "thank you for your purchase now you're on your own"
😂
We shall see, got a screen problem and if it ain’t gonna get fixed or replaced imma lose my shit.
@@LZYDOG update?
Conor Mmm contacted Microsoft support and Razer support, everything is updated and whatnot but screens still got the issue.. I’ll get a replacement, but still a hassle.
Otherwise pretty good laptop.
I had RMA my blade 14" twice. Make sure you get the extended warranty or buy with a credit card that extends the warranty by an additional year.
what happened? Mine is too okay to be true XD
Which credit cards extend warranty?
HardwareCanucks: ALMOST PERFECT
LinusTechTips: SO CLOSE
Just another guy looking at things I can’t afford.....
Aren't we all
xD I just bought a 1600 euro laptop and i thought it was a lot. This laptop price tag puts its price to shame lol. my specs are better though. :)
Just another guy looking at things he literally can’t buy because razer don’t sell their computers and phones here.
@weeblebrox damn bruh💀
I'm looking for a mac alternative to buy in a part-time, and this seems to be it.
Well
I only need one kidney
what if one only has one?
And what will you do next year?
One kidney should cover your laptop expenses for the next 10 years
Understood, man for that price i can build a TR lower end chipset for like 1300 bucks ish. I get it ,its a laptop. but.......eye'll take the torque vs horsepower.
you could buy any razer product you wanted if you sold one of your kidneys
Ah love how you always use the 4k videos from Norway to showcase the screens :) Ah love when my small country gets featured even for such trivial things.
B roll is sick
really excellent
i have to say, HC makes ad's that fascinate even more than the companies that produce the hardware. fortunately and "unfortunately" this is the only channel that i've ever bought stuff just because of the way they're presented by dmitry. heck i wouldn't even mind watching all of your vids if you keep up with the slick and snazzy way you present the products you're advertising for. keep up the awesome work!
6:31 I personally really don’t like separate buttons for left and right click, because the take away a lot of the trackpad surface
Razer was nearly there with the advanced version but they should off made it slightly thicker with better thermals I really dont understand manufactueres these days making the laptops so thin that they can't function properly cause of bad thermals. Also ethernet should be on all laptops if not on the side on the bad so you can still make it kinda thin but still I personally think a laptop as thick as a ethernet port is good enough. Also had a finger print reader in the power button.
@Brother Ares
Yes! but w/ 2060 graphic card?
@Brother Ares battery is smaller on base model but because of hardware differences a lot of reviewers say they last almost as long, maybe half an hour less. not bad..
i undervolted my blade 15 gtx 1070
i get 1261 score on cinebench
5103 single core score on geekbench
22184 multi core score on geekbench
before i undervolted it, i got 100C on cinebench benchmark.
after undervolting i get 65c max on cinebench.
it also improved my score since it was not thermal throtteling anymore, going from 1150 to 1261.
which is a huge improvement.
i have my blade advanced for a few months, but never had a issue with heat. the only thing i hate is (as mentioned here) not complete RGB keys. i'm a gamer/programmer and for my work i need a separate keyboard to be effective
They can add a usb type C to ethernet header when they sell you any laptop model if they not include it soldered on the motherboard
What I did and definitely recommend is getting the previous year blade 15. It is the same build quality and thinness with identical specs as the base mode (plus a 144hz screen and a larger ssd). snagged it for sale for $1510.
Is it holding up still?
Please make a review about the MSI GS65.
It has better QC but the thermals on it are garbage and the build quality is piss poor horrendous for its price, it's still a great laptop, just not for that price. I do like the look of it though. It's more consistent than the Razer Blade, but if you're going to get warranty on either laptop, go for the Razer.
I wish people would compare Laptop CPU's to Desktop CPU's so I could get an idea on the rendering times, and performance...... other than that good vid
Adolf Hitler not really
You can compare laptops with a gtx 1060 to a desktop with a gtx 1060
When will people realize that you can't reduce the value of a laptop by its ratio of performance to price? The Razorblade is a hybrid laptop. It's a cross between a gaming rig and an ultra premium notebook, and you have to judge it by that standard. It's meant to offer high quality external hardware and good battery performance, all while being aesthetically classy and maintaining competence in the gaming department, which is a combination you don't find among gaming PC's too frequently. This is the type of device that's perfect for college gamers (assuming they can afford it). It's not meant for people who keep their laptop on a desk and game 24/7, nor is it a pure productivity machine for accountants. It was never meant to be either of those, and the people who expect it to behave like a pure gaming PC are just coming from the wrong perspective.
Nathanael If only it lasts long.
@@hryank33 it's build quality is good no?
QWERTY ASDFG It is very sturdy but its internal is full of problems. So if you are unlucky, you will end with a nice paper weight right after the warranty is over.
@@hryank33 damn, I was hoping it could least last me 3 years for uni
Well said, I've posted around doing some research on this thing before buying and 99% of the other recommednations I get look like something I'd be embarrassed to carry around outside of a LAN party. Don't need aggressive wannabe tron case design, I don't need special WASD keys, just a nice simple machine with a clean look and RGB... kay I'll admit per key not being on kinda bugs me but the bigger storage is way more important.
i like this dude... he doesnt speak and move like a robot in his videos
no one can beat you guys cinematic works
MKBHD can with his robots haha
I usually hate ads in videos but I am definitely going to buy that SSD when i need it
Just bought the 15.6 inch razer with the gtx 1060 and 512gb ssd with 8th gen 6 core i7 cpu as a open box computer from bestbuy for just $1071 after tax!
Loving it!
Hey I’m wondering how are your temps while gaming ?
Gets warm yes, but my ASUS Rog Gu501 I had before was warmer
Doesn’t effect game play, still games at higher FPS than a PlayStation or Xbox so I’m good with it
I have the Razer Blade 15 advanced model with a GTX 2070 and 144hz refresh screen with 512GB SSD and I'm in love with it! I mostly use it to gane and well youtube and all that kind of stuff. it is expensive, but I got mine on a 300 dollar discount so that was great! I'm an animation major so I use Maya and Krita and I wanted something powerful that could run those things better than my last computer (Asus Rogue Strix GTX 970M 6VRam 16 Ram) and you can really tell the difference!
The Razer Blade it's just a beautiful device I enjoy doing any kind of task on it! and gaming on it is just a different experience, you can't compare it!
caleb hiram could u share where you got the discount from?
@@qazwsx8790 It was on sale on Amazon. got the 2070 Max q for the price of the 2060
Wow u don’t see that often. What a steal
What about a follow-up review? Is it still daily driver for you?
The intros in these videos are so cool
Thank you!
good review, and covered nicely with personal experience. All that said, i think with a bit of adjusting you could have shaved a few mins off that video, while getting it all in. Slightly to long. 15 mins would only be justifiable if you ran benchmarks and compared others laptops within that time. Getting all the top reviewers opinions when each are at 15 mins would be a nightmare.
Using an MSI GS65 32GB 1T SSD for game development whilst overseas for 8 weeks. Was perfect for that use. Zbrush, 3DCoat Maya LT, Substance Painter. Unreal Engine (be sure to set it to use High performance card to avoid crashing on video card switch). Back home now and tested VR, runs Robo Recall on the Oculus Rift perfectly.
Speakers are terrible down facing.
Just purchased this for $1220 on black friday. Will be arriving later this week.
I wish I had $1,600.
same feelsbadman
Yeah, he killed me by saying "relatively affordable"
@@lennartpupsensohn6737 relatively affordable is almost 4 months rent.
relative to what?
@@CoffeeFresh_ damn dude youre rent is 400 thats insane
I feel the channel will work better with 4-5 min less on some videos.
i'm no one, i know, but personally i find that around halfway into some of your videos, i start to feel like it should be finishing in 1, 2 min max. But, as i said, i still have almost 40% of the video left
I don't know why this happens, and its only with hardware canucks videos.
That said, i find that what you have to say it totally relevant, so i don't really have a solution and its probably just me being too used to people talking fast
Probably nobody cares and i'm in the minority here, but if not, maybe try to summarize some of your toughs a little bit o just talk at at slightly higher pase
or maybe your sexy, deep voice is too much for me too handle and need to cut it short too keep my sanity
anyways, great video as always and i hope the channel keeps growing
Agree. Eber especially repeats itself way too often and his videos are way too long
yeah their videos are very informative but almost 15 mins for a video like this is a bit too long 10 minutes would be great
maybe 1.5 speed instead?
Yeah I just play all his videos at 2x speed, much more enjoyable experience
I feel like this comment could have been just 2 lines.
The Gigabyte Aero machines are interesting alternatives to Razer, I'd love to see your take on those.
The lack of a fingerprint reader for integration with Windows Hello / UAC prompts is frankly criminal for a laptop that seems to be trying to market itself as, at least partly, for professional / creator use. The power button placement and shape is practically screaming for one.
EDIT: Also whilst I understand its gaming roots, as a professional considering this laptop the green logo makes it look far too gamer-like. Could it not be integrated with Chroma?
@Brother Ares I understand that, but the cost of a fingerprint reader for a manufacturer is negligible when discussing a laptop in this price bracket. For professionals, some of whom may be mandated to use security features such as Windows Hello for compliance, it can be a big deal.
In my opinion, it is a pretty laughable but perhaps understandable failing from a company that has its roots in gaming.
I'm genuinely surprised they didn't chroma enable the logo, they did that on the Razer phone 2
@@matthewmessage6624 precisely, its irrelevant that some gamers dont care about fingerprings because this is marketing itself as an all in one solution not just for gamers but also for creative professionals, and those are often the people that can afford such laptops. Plus with the integration of Windows hello on nearly everything nowadays, it's a must-have. I mean external usb fingerprint readers are 20$ on amazon, so there's no excuse for manufacturers to not implement one in the power button. This should be the new industry standard.
It’s an incognito gaming machine. Not a creators laptop. If it was for creators it’d use a Quattro GPU instead of a GTX.
"makes it look far too gamer'' what do you mean? Are you saying that you feel uncomfortable when there is a logo glowing which says that your computer costs from 1600$ to 2600$ That is a logo and it is doing its purpose to represent, like apple before they removed glowing apple. Its purpose is for people to see whose product you are using.
I've been really interested in this one since it was announced. Thanks for the review. Would love to see a review of the new MSI P65 creator as well.
Great review thank you. I record music and found it very helpful that you used a db meter for the fan noise.
as an owner of a late 2016 balde, i had to RMA the laptop before its first year of use, almost no gaming done on the laptop, i cannot recommend this company or any of its products since durability and customer service are REALLY bad.
If there's no sd card reader, how would u edit videos? Also is this laptop good for drawing or graphic designers?
InfiniteTony flash drives or sd card USB adapters, it’s not hard duh
The previous iteration was NOT "Razer Blade 13 inch notebooks" as you stated at 1:22 they were 14 inch notebooks. while you might say they are one in the same thing, they are not because the dimensions of the 14 inch version is pretty close to the new 15 inch. And you don't go from 13 inch to 15 inch in the same form factor side no matter how huge your Bezels are....
Hey very nice video. I have a few questions though:
1. Isn't it better to get the Advanced model since it's thinner? You can always get an Ethernet adapter. These are not expensive. So I guess is the Ethernet adapter worth having a thicker laptop?
2. How is the vapor chamber on the advanced model better compared to the traditional cooling system of the base model? Are there differences in temps?
3. If you take the 1080p 60Hz + the Nvidia 1060 max-q advanced model with 256gb SSD doesn't it actually have better battery life compared to the same configuration base model?I mean 65w and 80w battery is a huge difference and since they have the same config it should have better battery life or am I wrong?
4. I also heard that the 144Hz screen is the better option compared to the 60Hz version? What do you recommend?
Just got my razer blade 15! It's amazing.
Still enjoying the Razer Blade?
@@ashfox7498 ofcourse. It's the best laptop for me.
@@nelsonlopez1792 No the base model has a single zone RGB keyboard, you'd need the advanced model to get per-key RGB
@@nelsonlopez1792 don't know. I have the advanced model and it has it.
I have the i7 9th gen 2060 model and it’s really good
As always, great video man. Always enjoy everything you guys put out.
Your test is very good and well made ,also, becose this new version just come up, its difficult to find reviews, ( and there is only in english). I was just wondering if you could be more specific about the battery life, writing, web browsing, netflix... this kind of stuff. Thank you !
*NEVER* put *Razer* and *perfect* in the same sentence.
THE BLACK DRAGON Why not
@@aidanmoran3881 bc they arent
But you did.
Tsuki Zypher nothing that’s man made is perfect. So I don’t see your point.
Snake solid cant denied that chief xD
By far the biggest issue I have with Razer's options are the lack of display options for low end models. I'd really like a 1440p or 4k panel on the base. I don't really care about refresh rate but in 2019 I'd like to have a high dpi screen (considering I've had one since the 2012 retina MacBook Pro was released). I think 1080p on 13" displays is just fine but it's a bit crunchy looking on a 15". Similarly, I don't mind the HDD option but they really should have a 256/512 SSD option with a larger battery even in this base version. I actually use my laptop like a laptop sometimes and it'd be nice to see. Otherwise this Blade seems just about prefect for me, especially at the sale price of $1399.
I'm a past owner of the 2014 and 2016 models of the Razer Blade. Unlike others (I may be lucky), I didn't get any hardware issues on either device and both laptops ran for a good 2 and half years before performance started throttling, mainly due to thermal issues. The 2014 model was significantly worse, with the fan sounding like a goddamn wind turbine and the keyboard not even working at all after the 2 1/2 year mark.
I ordered the Advanced Version of the Razer Blade 15 last week, ran my own tests, and my reviews are mostly positive. Temps have definitely dropped, performance and form factor is great, and no immediate concerning hardware issues. Just my own experience with RazerBlades.
On the other hand tho, I have had a lot of problems with the quality control of Razer's mice. Razerblades, not so much.
Man thats some insane video quality
this is the most beautiful win laptop atm, i dislike razer product normally, but gonna give them this one.
Out of topic: MAN I really can't wait til you review the New CoolerMaster MasterBox MB RGB Series Cases!.
And also adding some good broll will be great.
Hey I’ve been wondering, how are those Enermax RGB fans treating you? I’ve seen a lot of reviews saying that the twister bearings start grinding after about a month or two
After reading all the bad reviews about all razor laptops I’m scared to pull the trigger on this laptop but after I watched your review I think I’m gonna buy it. Question - is there any other laptop that competes with this base model for specs and price?
I bought it a few days ago, picking it up tomorrow! Buy an extended warranty
Hello 300 from Acer :) it's a bit cheaper too
How long will this last as far as keeping up with new software and games? I’m not interested in any really intense games but am interested just in case since the 20 series graphics cards are out now.
Nice overview!
Why is the adobe media encoder test comparing current gen blade to last gen aero 15x (i7700)? I find this misleading, as I'm currently trying to decide between Aero15x and a Blade.
Personally very very interested in long-term review of both the 2018 Blade 15 and the Base version as previous gen (2017) blade units supposedly had a lot of problems with hardware failure, hard to find any concrete info on this.
Keep up the good work!
Blade 15 was one of the notebooks i was thinking to buy. However there are 2 mayor concerns. First Razer has almost non existent dealership in my country (central Europe), besides few gaming peripherals like keyboards, mice or mousepads. The only way to get it is over German Amazon with german keyboard layout (not big concern). And then there is second concern. The Razer company is notoriously known for bad Quality control with lot of RMAs, so if i buy 1700€ expensive notebook without customer support from company notoriously known for deffective products, I would be really stupid. If one of my issues was gone i would definitely buy it.
that spot on the wall on the far right is messing me up
Mine is stuck in the bond cage at FEDEX Memphis facility at the moment. Ordered it on the 28th....and it’s still awaiting clearance from customs.
There're complaints about the blade not charging unless it's turned on first, on the advanced model. Is it the same with this base model? Can you charge it without turning on the laptop?
I'm on mine writing this as we speak. Audio pops severely and regularly, along with the backlighting completely fails on one patch of screen leaving a dark intermittent bleed on my screen and remains after a reboot. Will be swapping after my trip to scotland and spending christmas in michigan, new years in San Fran and my 25th in LA. Vlogs on my channel.
I'm confused as to what to get now. The base or advanced? The base is cheaper but has an ethernet port + dual storage, but only 2mm thicker? How does that make sense?
Can you review the ASUS ROG Zephyrus S GX531GS? I'm looking at getting the razor 15 base or this Asus Zephyrus.
Get Zephyrus you get better thermals and their new fan design you never need to clean the fan grills after few years.
Hey Eber love your vids! Just wondering what smartwatch you are using? Noticed it in the vid a couple of times.
I like your calm voice :o
I'm pretty pissed that this channel is called Hardware Cannucks and he said the American prices instead of Canadian. O CANADA MY DUDE.
but awesome video! Super informative! :)
I'm pretty sure more people can understand and compare pricing when it's in USD than CAD. Linus from LTT is from British Columbia and I see him use USD all the time in his videos.
I really like the form factor...This may be my next gaming laptop...though id wait for the new 2060 GPU to come out....My GS63VR with GTX1060 and 6th gen I7 scores the same in 3Dmark as this one and its already 2 years old...I think ill just upgrrade to a 120hz display and be set for another few months or one more year til the new GPUs come out
hey, guys, can you do a comparison of Alienware m15 and Razer blade 15?
I recently bought the Razer Blade 15 base model which comes with a 60HZ panel. I want to connect it to a 144hz monitor via HDMI for gaming because it’s my understanding that 144hz makes a big difference in that regard. BUT.. I also want to take my Blade 15 to class, as I am going to college. My main concern is this: when I’m not gaming, and doing more productivity centered activities, (like RUclips, writing essays, etc.) will I notice the difference in 60HZ vs 144hz and grow to hate the panel my $1700 laptop comes with?
My earlier 2016 Razer blade 14 had a battery bulge problem. Contacted Razer, and after a week, they said they will offer a 5% discount towards a new blade. I was insulted.
When you say the m.2 is SATA only; you mean the 128GB device, right? that m.2 port also supports NVME device speed as a user upgrade, right?
Great review as usual. However, there is NOTHING subtle or minimalistic about the Razer logo. Where is the silver logo they showed off earlier this year? Or why can't it just say "RAZER" on the back? This is the same issue MSI used to have until the GS65, when MSI moved to the subtle gold logo.
Edit: this should have had at least a 75 hz (preferably 90 hz) screen and a full size SD card reader for this price.
Can you turn off the razer logo light? Id love to know!
Hey did you ever try to remove the heatsink? It's realy hard to remove the spring screws, any idea what could be?
Hey great video! I'm want to buy the razer blade 15 but i'm worried about warranty and quality issues, I've read that some blade got dammaged over a year of use. Note: I'm from latin America so i cant use warranty
Question! so stock SSD is sata M.2, but the slot is PCie? so it means i can upgrade to nvme ssd ??
The advanced model is NVMe so probably
Which headset would you recomend? Corsair HS70, Razer thresher 7.1 PS4 or Razer Nari essentil
im really looking to buy this model should i wait for the rtx graphics cards on laptop to launch or buy this ?
5:00. Does this mean you can’t individually change the key color? Like and change it how you want? What do you mean by the key bleeding?
This model doesn't have lightning specific per key, just in general for the keyboard. This means everything is lit, but not configurable per key individually.
Bleeding means that you can see one keys lightning color somewhat in the keys next to is (it 'bleeds' through)
Biggest downside for me is no SD card reader. They should have skipped the 1Gb port and added a full-size SD card reader.
7:10 what was that giant hole on the side? And where is the switching power cable so you can choose which way it plugs in?
Thats an ethernet port
Do the fans stop on light usage or do they run all the time?
benii all the time
One week later after this video I bought the Razer Blade base model, 7 months later the motherboard died suddenly and is now in repair :(
Hi All, I got my RB 15 base model few days ago from Razer website.
My LED indicator ( the one that is in-front of the laptop, under Intel core logo) doesn't show the correct information.
- it never glows when the laptop is on.
- it doesn't glow red when under 10% battery
- it only glows green when it is turning on.
- it glows white when on sleep model ( I think this is the only time it works correctly)
I contracted Razer support few times already, re installed the programs, re-set the batter - nothing worked.
I just want to know if anyone else is experiencing same problem.
thanks
I have this problem. First two months was ok but now this problem reproduces everyday(((
Can you change the color of the keyboard on the Razer blade 15 base model?
I don't think the "longevity" comment you made in the video holds up. I'm looking at one now, and I'm worried how long it will last because of all the reports of failing boards, particularly power circuitry. If I do get one, I'm making sure I get a replacement warranty to cover the many problems it could end up having so I get fast replacement.
Hi there, I would like to ask if you know about an issue with the 1070 model, which can not change the refresh rate to 144hz. I have already bought 3 units and all of them had the same problem. What can you tell me so far? hope I can get some help. Thanks
damn that intro should have been in the razer launch video
Title should be " the Best Portable Toaster" Blade 15
Title should be "1000° Blade vs Human"
Does that USB C do Power Delivery In/Out? Can we charge the Razerblade with a USB C Charger?
What laptops do you all use on a daily basis, ones you've reviewed or not?
I guess this laptop is terrible for someone who can't afford a high end desktop PC for gaming and a high performance notebook for CAD and even gaming and wants to have a machine that functions as both.
Has anybody here experience with this kind of use?
Lol I’m looking for the exact same thing as you. Good for SOME gaming not a lot, school, coding and programming, and something that will last you a while. Now you will most likely won’t find a laptop like that under 1400. The dell xps 15 is good but I like the Razer better. The only thing that suck about this is the customer service. Idk 😐 at the end , it’s your choice.
Should I get the razer blade or could you guys recommend me any other slim and nice laptops
*This thing looks **_Razer_** sharp*
I bought a blade 15 144hz fhd 1070max-q 512gb launch. Awesome raw power, great chassis and form factor but horrible panel quality. Sad to say I had to return mine to Razer as it had excessive backlight bleed for a panel replacement. On return, it still had horrible bleed (i never noticed any with MacBooks or Acer ultrabooks, I use both OS) and ended up selling after 4 months. If only there is MacBook Pro 15 + 1070 max-q and Apple quality screen... one can only dream.
Then I went and got a MacBook Pro 15 with Radeon 555x. Don’t bother, GPU is so weak compared to the blade 15.
how much of adobe rgb does the base model screen cover?
Pretty sure the base model launched with a 512nvme drive...not 256. The newer one has a 256 but it's a dual drive device.
Can I use it for 3d design and in using AutoCAD? or is the Dell XPS 15 better?

i undervolted my blade 15 gtx 1070
i get 1261 score on cinebench
5103 single core score on geekbench
22184 multi core score on geekbench
before i undervolted it, i got 100C on cinebench benchmark.
after undervolting i get 65c max on cinebench.
it also improved my score since it was not thermal throtteling anymore, going from 1150 to 1261.
which is a huge improvement.
Hey, anyone know if this laptop would be able to last me a full day of lectures. Google drive is pretty much all I use in class but I’d like to know if this laptop can last most of the day. If not, any recommendations on battery packs
If i were to get this laptop for college, would it last me the 4 years that im in college?
Is the screen scatch proof?
is it all made of aluminum?
