I have the i9-13980X version and it’s an absolute beast. I love it. I upgraded from the 3080Ti Blade 17 and the performance increase is definitely noticeable, to the tune of at least 20% more (I’m being conservative) in MWII. BTW, both USB-C ports output to DP, and that’s what I use for my external monitor (the port on the left side of the laptop. I agree that the keyboard is meh, but it’s not horrible. I’m usually on an external keyboard anyway. Lastly, my dbrand skin delivered a few days ago, they’re my go to laptop skin.
hey can you tell me if you get any screen flickering on your version of it? I've been reading about so many horrible experiences that I've become a bit reluctant to buy it now
Desktop replacements are awesome. For years I traveled as a contractor and it was nice to be able to have one computer that I could use everywhere. You don't have to worry about synchronizing files. All you do is make sure things get backed up and your golden. It really is worth the additional cost.
@@stringstorm It's frankly an inevitability once you are a well known brand, it will happen sooner or later. You can sort of avoid it by making it more annoying then rewarding to dissuade the common folk, but if someone wants in enough...they will get in. The best you can hope for is preventing it for as long as possible and having a plan in place for recovery after it happens.
@@harbl99 Yeah, but does anyone actually care about Razer laptops in 2023? They're behind in innovation. Their build quality has always been absolute garbage-tier. Their customer support is infamously useless. If LMG can't get proper support for their fleet of Razer Blades that all suffered from QC issues, then none of us normal customers can.
@@AlfaPro1337 very sad because the only issue I had with my 2016 blade stealth was the battery blowing up and them discontinuing replacements after 3 years. I tried to replace in 2020, they just wanted me to buy a new laptop lmao. That and my model apparently was prone to audio IC issues. It served me well but the dual core is showing its age and honestly, it should have come with a quad core in the first place. I'm pretty put off by razer even though mine has been damn near perfect. Replaced with a 23 ROG Zephyrus. 2k cheaper if you count the eGPU and GPU that I bought for my blade.
This. I think the laptop looks cool but I'd never buy it because razer products die so fast. I went through like 3 razer megalodon's before giving up. Alienware too. Tbh all big companies are cancer. Alienware support literally told me that having 110 celsius on my cpu temp is normal because it's a gaming laptop, despite the fact that I was getting blue screens. Moved on to custom build laptops, not gonna look back because I have never had a problem with them.
@@jcreel234The LTT and TechQuickie channels got hacked and subsequently started advertising scam stuff, so youtube disabled them both to prevent any further things from happening. Pretty sure it isn't at the fault of anyone on the LMG team, and is due to vulnerabilities in google software associated with the affected channels.

The last gaming laptop I had was the Asus ROG Strix…and it made this thing look like a tic-tac. It was amazing for the 5years I had it. I paid 5500 for it and it was fine performance wise for a long long time.
dang, didn't expect to wake up this morning to find out one of the biggest tech channels to be taken down in such a manner. I hope this is a wake up call to not just Google/RUclips but all big tech platforms to tighten up security and prevent issues like this from occurring. Easier said than done, but once the accounts are compromised the damages can be colossal. Hoping for a speedy recovery from the LMG team.
My headcanon is that if someone starts humming crabrave at LMG, the entire staff congregates and begins dancing while performing a full acapella rendition of it.
Interesting that they decided to include fan on the battery side. My Razer Stealth from 2018 had scary battery bulge after 2 years of use, same story for my friend's Stealth. It was causing random shutdowns and I had to replace the battery by myself. Not to mention that the entire laptop surface felt like grill during moderate use. End up gifted it to my friend as a desktop replacement lol
yep my blade 2019 did the same, on second battery and 2nd set of fans, got a 3 set of fans on the shelf for when these die, it's simple to replace both things, but like WTF
You almost HAVE to have a laptop stand/riser/cooling pad with these things. I had the Blade 15 with a 2070 in it and after getting just a basic cooling pad, the fan noise was much more tolerable.
I subscribed to floatplane this morning when the live stream started to get updates. I honestly didn’t expect to be as shook as I was about the whole sitch, hope everyone’s doing alright 💕
Although I was all for desktop replacements 3 or 4 years ago, to just have my gaming on the go, with the advent of the Steam Deck and all those portable gaming devices, I don't see the use anymore. The only use I can see is for heavy graphics/videos producers/editors on the go but it's very very very niche.
Speaking of webcams, could LTT please do a comparison of high end webcams suitable for video conferencing AND 4K video streaming? I heard the Insta360 Link - PTZ 4K Webcam (with 1/2" Sensor & AI Tracking) is a good one, but we would appreciate reviews of all midto-high-end ($150 to $450 US) options? Don't bother including any that can't manage at least 1440p at 60fps. Thanks
Looks like we still have short circuit and LMG clips. Let's gooooo! Can't imagine what that 4am wake up call was like. Can't wait for LTT to be back up and running!
I had nothing but a bad experience with my old Razer Blade Pro late 2016, both in terms of build quality, and CS. Everytime someone talks about buying a laptop, I just steer them away from Razer, they would really need to recover their rep in a major way before I would ever give them another chance. I ended up having to replace the battery in mine, opened it up, and the SSD cooling fan was not even plugged in.
As a motion designer that requires a shit tonne of power that is also thinking about being a digital nomad, this performance and size are perfect. Even the price isn’t too bad when it’s will be used for work. Please try to review these 4090 laptops with respect to a use case like mine, as i see that being one of the main reasons someone would purchase a laptop of this power.
No full size arrow keys on a laptop this big is a deal breaker in my book. Frankly though the deal I had with Razer was broken when my first Razer laptop bricked after 15 months of very light use.
Careful when buying any razer laptops. I have a Blade 15" from 2020 that I bought for college and the battery is expanding below the trackpad, so I need to find a new battery to replace it since, conveniently, my device is out of warranty. I've seen this happen to multiple other devices online. If you've had this issue and replaced the battery yourself let me know where you found your replacement battery, I'm skeptical of random Amazon listings.
18 is too big for me, too. $3-5k, naw. I had opted for custom liquid metal on a laptop that didn't come with it. I haven't had any issues the last couple of years, but I basically realize repasting is basically not an option & the gpu was also Grizzly, but not liquid. I definitely prefer the graph??? option. I was maybe too focused on the fact the laptop needs to work on 115F+, when I went liquid.
@@bipbop3121 I travel a *lot* for work though. Can't risk even the slight chance of a 5k Laptop being funk just because my plane landed a bit too harsh. Repasting won't be an option as it's going to be company owned unfortunately

Oh look another gaming monitor with a 16:10 resolution and thats considered good because of the extra vertical. Just checked Newegg for a desktop gaming monitor at 1920x1200 16:10 and got two 10.5 inch portable tablet monitor things from a company I never heard of before. add 1920x1080 and over 12 pages. Why the F don't they make 16:10 gaming monitors anymore? 16:9 gaming Acer 27" 165 hz 2 ms response with freesync at $150 or a 16:10 not gaming Acer 24" 75hz 4ms for $192 = WHY?
I wonder if the 91 Wh battery is part of the travel limits. is the 99 Wh limit the total for air travel for all batteries that a person has? Or is it per device?
The mouse accuracy tip - if you really care about mouse accuracy look for the markc mouse fix and install the registry entry for your window scale to get pure 1:1 movement. This fix DOES require cursor precision to be left ON, because the pointer curve applied by this registry key is a cursor precision setting.
I'm glad this channel is still up. Best wishes to the ltt team, I can't imagine all the revenue lost while the other channels are down. Alot of people depending on it. I'll be buying some lttstore merch and a dbrand skin from the link to try and support . Hope others do too.
@@RFDN0 probably just a fake email, maybe a fake sponsorship one. i agree with you though, they have lots of employees, quite a few i assume have access to the channels, probably don't know the password but are set up through the permission menu so their account has access to them
My biggest nitpick is that, despite the size, you don't a numpad. The thing that I love about Lenovo and Asus, they include numpads on their laptops 15 inches or bigger.
2:30 Wiring external video ports to the dGPU is definitely not always an advantage. Unless the iGPU is completely gone/disabled (in which case ouch battery life), runtime switching between laptop screen only, external only and/or a mixed scenario introduces stuttering on Windows. Getting it to work on Linux at all is shaky at best. Ideally, manufacturers implement a MUX switch that can be set in the firmware setup so you as a user can choose.
Glad to still see content today from the LTT team. Crypto scammers can [redacted because if I actually wrote how I feel about them this comment would be instantly hidden] themselves.
I am traveling a lot and needed a powerful laptop for gaming and video editing, so I got this particular laptop. I agree, at this price range it is hard to recommend, but when looking at the competition (larger and louder), it does stand out pretty well. I love the speakers and the screen, don't love the touchpad (buggy and annoying accidental clicks), the keyboard is meh. the package is pretty impressive though.
alex. We all love to see you with a new laptop. But i really have to wonder how all the different videos on how LMG backs up all videos seem to go unwatched... there have been more than several revisions to the plan... and all of them are/were on ltt channel
Got a brand new razer keyboard for my birthday. On the 3rd week the F key died. Went back to using my 10ish year old IBM keyboard. In the span of 10ish years that keyboard hasnt had any failures such as that.
If you think 9 pounds is inconvenient in a backpack, it's time to eat some red meat and hit the gym. There are plenty of good reasons to want a smaller laptop, weight in a backpack is not one.
Don't worry LTT your subs all started their stopwatches the minute they noticed & reported the hack in one way or another. We're all watching to see how long it takes RUclips to grace one of their big success stories with the most basic level of support in re-securing their large channel from one of the platform's many *known threats* There are tools that YT could provide to channel owners that can mitigate some of these attacks, I've only earned a couple basic cybersecurity certifications so far but honest to god this type of hack is absolutely something YT can and should be developing multiple systems for. This is an annoying example of how dereliction of duty creates real harm. Hackers will always target successful channels that is fair to say/expect, but when more big channels continue to get hit with these hacks well... it makes it look like YT channels with lots of employees can be easy targets... because they are. This will only get worse until YT implements more tools to diversity & expand their channel security features/options + improve their own system's resilience on the backend for situations like this where the "primary tools" fail.
I love when people complain about laptops over 4lbs. 10lbs is not heavy at all. Especially when transporting in a backpack you don't even notice it. The age of thin and light is over people. The age of performance has begun.
I would love to see a review of anything ryzen 6000/7000 powered without a dGPU, i recently picked up a thinkpad t14 AMD and im shocked how decent it is as a gaming laptop, it outperforms the 1050ti i had before, while getting ultrabook battery life. i think those chips could be the start of a low-midrange gaming laptop revolution.

I know Linus said he had no security staff but hope now he is going to hire some now.
Alex: "there isn't quite as much bass as I would like"
Also Alex: 10:04
Assurdo ma allora sei ancora vivo!LOL ma che fine hai fatto? Forse sei incazzato con me ok va bene, importante aver capito che sei ancora vivo e vegeto!Spero che tu abbia una buona vita💜💜💜
Oh look another gaming monitor with a 16:10 resolution and thats considered good because of the extra vertical. Just checked Newegg for a desktop gaming monitor at 1920x1200 16:10 and got two 10.5 inch portable tablet monitor things from a company I never heard of before. add 1920x1080 and over 12 pages. Why the F don't they make 16:10 gaming monitors anymore? 16:9 gaming Acer 27" 165 hz 2 ms response with freesync at $150 or a 16:10 not gaming Acer 24" 75hz 4ms for $192 = WHY?
next episode, how to secure your computer on linux by Anthony
I always knew that ShortCircuit was the best of the LMG Channels
lucky SC didnt get pulled into the whole situation.
hope you guys get everything back and sorted out soon!
linus must be sweating buckets right now
I wonder if the 91 Wh battery is part of the travel limits. is the 99 Wh limit the total for air travel for all batteries that a person has? Or is it per device?
I’d assume it’s just a holdover from last years model given that the smaller 16 inch has either a 95 or 98 watt hour battery.
The mouse accuracy tip - if you really care about mouse accuracy look for the markc mouse fix and install the registry entry for your window scale to get pure 1:1 movement. This fix DOES require cursor precision to be left ON, because the pointer curve applied by this registry key is a cursor precision setting.
I'm glad this channel is still up. Best wishes to the ltt team, I can't imagine all the revenue lost while the other channels are down. Alot of people depending on it. I'll be buying some lttstore merch and a dbrand skin from the link to try and support . Hope others do too.
what revenue
Hopefully we can learn something about security after this. I would love a security week from all the LMG channels
Depending on the method used there is little to nothing they could have done to prevent this.
@@RFDN0 probably just a fake email, maybe a fake sponsorship one. i agree with you though, they have lots of employees, quite a few i assume have access to the channels, probably don't know the password but are set up through the permission menu so their account has access to them
My biggest nitpick is that, despite the size, you don't a numpad. The thing that I love about Lenovo and Asus, they include numpads on their laptops 15 inches or bigger.
Never use numpad but i really use the keypad often for typing. Hard F on the keys
When do we get to see the Linus's dbrand Taycan vid?
2:30 Wiring external video ports to the dGPU is definitely not always an advantage. Unless the iGPU is completely gone/disabled (in which case ouch battery life), runtime switching between laptop screen only, external only and/or a mixed scenario introduces stuttering on Windows. Getting it to work on Linux at all is shaky at best. Ideally, manufacturers implement a MUX switch that can be set in the firmware setup so you as a user can choose.
Condolences to the entire company, and Linus himself. Much love, hope things get back to the way the were before, very soon.
Glad to still see content today from the LTT team.
Crypto scammers can [redacted because if I actually wrote how I feel about them this comment would be instantly hidden] themselves.
Every time Dbrand sponsors a video they take a jab at Linus.
2:36 how come the dbrand skin say razer's slogan at the bottom right?
Dude, THANK YOU for mentioning the mouse pointer precision thing, that was driving me bananas for MONTHS.
glad you are back. I hope damage was minimum!
I miss ltt already
It's actually painful just how many laptops do not have number pads anymore. This is an 18" laptop and does not have one, that is ridiculous.
Num pads are pretty useless for 90% of the population. Just get an external one if you want this laptop.
They aren't as practical as they were before
@@Amber57499 no its not. atleast its useful for excel kind of job which most people working with.
and no full size arrow key is baffling considering this is gaming laptop with that size. Some game need to use the full sized arrow key.
I am traveling a lot and needed a powerful laptop for gaming and video editing, so I got this particular laptop. I agree, at this price range it is hard to recommend, but when looking at the competition (larger and louder), it does stand out pretty well. I love the speakers and the screen, don't love the touchpad (buggy and annoying accidental clicks), the keyboard is meh. the package is pretty impressive though.
"they are so confident they even replaced their employees Notebooks with MAC"
You guys are unstoppable 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Unfortunately I ran out of kidneys =(
I feel like the Razer laptops are very underrated. The brand as a whole gets a lot of deserved hate, but I would say the laptops are great
Except for having issues with synapse
alex. We all love to see you with a new laptop. But i really have to wonder how all the different videos on how LMG backs up all videos seem to go unwatched... there have been more than several revisions to the plan... and all of them are/were on ltt channel
this is probably a scheduled upload.
Got a brand new razer keyboard for my birthday. On the 3rd week the F key died. Went back to using my 10ish year old IBM keyboard. In the span of 10ish years that keyboard hasnt had any failures such as that.
If you think 9 pounds is inconvenient in a backpack, it's time to eat some red meat and hit the gym. There are plenty of good reasons to want a smaller laptop, weight in a backpack is not one.
Don't worry LTT your subs all started their stopwatches the minute they noticed & reported the hack in one way or another.
We're all watching to see how long it takes RUclips to grace one of their big success stories with the most basic level of support in re-securing their large channel from one of the platform's many *known threats*
There are tools that YT could provide to channel owners that can mitigate some of these attacks, I've only earned a couple basic cybersecurity certifications so far but honest to god this type of hack is absolutely something YT can and should be developing multiple systems for.
This is an annoying example of how dereliction of duty creates real harm. Hackers will always target successful channels that is fair to say/expect, but when more big channels continue to get hit with these hacks well... it makes it look like YT channels with lots of employees can be easy targets... because they are.
This will only get worse until YT implements more tools to diversity & expand their channel security features/options + improve their own system's resilience on the backend for situations like this where the "primary tools" fail.
I love when people complain about laptops over 4lbs. 10lbs is not heavy at all. Especially when transporting in a backpack you don't even notice it. The age of thin and light is over people. The age of performance has begun.
I would love to see a review of anything ryzen 6000/7000 powered without a dGPU, i recently picked up a thinkpad t14 AMD and im shocked how decent it is as a gaming laptop, it outperforms the 1050ti i had before, while getting ultrabook battery life. i think those chips could be the start of a low-midrange gaming laptop revolution.
got that same skin on my pixel 7 pro it looks good on video but i can assure you it's looks even more awesome irl
ShortCircuit: Look at me. I'm the main channel now
I embarrassingly did not realize my pointer precision was on. Never be afraid to give a tech tip, no matter how small or insignificant. Thanks Alex.
guess I gotta just watch all of the old Short Circuit videos until LTT is back online
Has anyone noticed how he asks for 2.1 every time when hdmi is presented. This is how you know you got a great reviewer.
@shortcurcuit 3:30 umm, that razor is a fingerprint magnet. Look at the palm rest, trackpad, keyboard and even ON THE SPEAKERS! WHAG😱 WOW!
