RAZER BLADE 16 | Bigger. Better. Still The Best.

Is it just me, or is the 3:2 ratio of type A vs C ports a bit on the wrong side in 2023?I'd happily switch one of the type A ports for 2 type C; or even a single type C.I'm also ambivalent regarding the HDMI port.  Is that still relevant for anythingother than TV sets these days? 🤣

When will these actually ship? Is a 4K OLED version going to be available?

Buyer Beware: 3200MHz nominal speeds may require XMP

Iman.NiaBy installing the ballistix i could see how fast the booting took place. at least 2 sec less. Interesting... I haven't noticed a significant difference in booting speed between the different RAM options. BUT, then again, I'd have to use a stop watch to recognize a two-second speed-up... :wink_:

Buyer Beware: 3200MHz nominal speeds may require XMP

Iman.NiaHaving the same issue. Its not that the Ballistix dont have XMP. Seems the issue is in BIOS. Correct. The problem is that the Ballistix will ONLY reach 3200MHz **with** XMP; *AND* the current BIOS does NOT support XMP. Iman.Nia Kingston is by far a much more worse Sodimm. They just got managed to install a chip which makes the OC automatically. Do you have factual support for either of these claims? Since Crucial doesn't publish the profiles their support, it's difficult to know, if their lower CAS latency is actually valid at **all** speeds, or only at 2666MHz. I suppose CPU-Z will list what it finds, I just never run it with those sticks in the laptop. Have you? The other bit about an OC chip in the Fury sounds a lot like unsubstantiated speculation, but if you have facts, please share! Iman.Nia Crucial seems to need a Bios unlock. I'm not sure about "unlock", but those modules definitely need XMP support to run at their advertised speed... Iman.Nia Fury has C

Recommendation: 64GB kit @ 3200MHz for Blade 15 (2021)

DavidDenyerThat would be very helpful. I'm very curious as to how Razer can advertise 3200mhz RAM that clocks at 800mhz. When I messaged support they just decided to replace the laptop, but the notebookcheck.com review also has the same 800mhz clock speed. I'll see when the new laptop gets here but I expect it'll be exactly the same. Very difficult to understand what's going on. Wow! I'm honestly surprised that Razer would swap a fully functional laptop based on the output from possibly buggy software. Or, perhaps, they've run CPU-Z on other units of the same model, and they know it's not a bug... I don't know. In any case, I've ran both on my Blade and I posted the results in the other thread... Heck... I'll fire it up again, and post a few screenshots... I pretty obvious difference between HWiNFO and CPU-Z is that the former reports a command rate of 2T, while the latter only 1T. I think that's enough to explain the difference, but I'd be very interested to hear theories a

Does razer blade 17 2021 have xmp support?

DavidDenyerFrom what I understand, this is where we are (please someone correct me if I'm wrong on any of this): -Razers *do* support XMP, but not "officially" (support seems to insist they do not). -It can be achieved by flashing earlier BIOS 1.01 -The new 2021 Razer 17 advertises 3200mhz RAM, which suggests these new 2021 Razers might be running 3200mhz *without* utilising XMP (given that razer insist they do not support XMP)? -My Razer 17 had CPU-Z showing a clock speed of 800mhz, but the notebookcheck.com review of the same laptop also had this, and nothing was mentioned in the review - perhaps this is a CPU-Z bug rather than an actual reading. BIOS showed 3200mhz, HWinfo showed 1600mhz. XMP did not appear anywhere in any of the RAM checks I did. BIOS had no mention of XMP whatsoever. -I'm still very confused. Any users willing to run CPU-Z or HWinfo on their machines and post screenshots would be massively appreciated. I don't have time to mess around with screenshots, but I did

Does razer blade 17 2021 have xmp support?

siontist Kingston has an updated pair of RAM chips here, but I don't know if it will work - https://www.amazon.com/Kingston-FURY-3200MHz-KF432S20IBK2-64-dp-B097QK6M3W Hmm... interesting... that's the exact kit I'm looking at for my second attempt. Have you had a chance to test those? Would you recommend them? I can confirm that Crucial's Ballistix kit runs at only 2666MHz in the 2021 Blade 15. As for XMP support coming back, given the categoric tone of "Blades do not support XMP", in the support emails I had received, I wouldn't hold my breath for such a BIOS update.

JoikansaiNew blade probably like other brands will use revised 10gen like current 10850H paired with new gpu. Unfortunately, you're correct. Razer disappoints, as always... I suppose I might as well wait for the 7nm silicon, supposedly coming in H2...

RAZER BOOK 13 | A Force of Productivity is Born

With Apple going M1 in the lightweight regime, this may be a good alternative for Intel-loving BootCamp-thirsty folks. May be a good base for a Hackintosh... ;^) I'd just like a darker, more charcoal-like, shade and *black* keys. This silver-white combo is not my cup of tea.

Petition: PLEASE make the RTX Studio Blades in Black or Gunmetal

figrin1I'm guessing they're going with a color that most closely resembles the main competition (macbooks). In that case, they should definitely go with `gunmetal gray` considering that `space gray` is far more popular than `silver` when it comes to Apple products. (Here, I'm assuming that Razer's `Mercury White` approximates the latter.) https://www.strawpoll.me/11585312/r https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/space-gray-or-silver-poll.2010413/ https://www.idownloadblog.com/2017/10/27/poll-results-iphone-x-desired-preorder-model/ https://www.philmug.ph/community/threads/poll-which-2016-2017-mbp-did-you-buy-silver-or-space-grey.98404/ https://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?t=1331287

Perhaps, I'll get one and put a nice matte black skin on...

Performance pushed to the edge | The Razer Blade Pro 17

uncle_farkusOur software is very GPU intensive too. So it’s hard to find a great laptop. All the 4K screens have crap GPUs. All the 2080 devices have crap screens that only care about refresh rate. Hmm... Interesting... Dell's Precision line has Quadro:s (or Radeon Pro:s, if that's what floats your boat), which -although over-priced- are far from crap. They also have a 4K display option. I used to have a 7710 at work and loved it (not as sleek as the Blade Pro and heavier as well, but well built and functional). I'd expect a 7740 to pop up soon, with 9th gen Intel parts (and perhaps a Turing-based Quadro RTX, if those get released for mobile platforms)...

Performance pushed to the edge | The Razer Blade Pro 17

MaximusisbackYou can also just use a monitor for 4k applications, don't really think the difference between 17" 1080p and 4k is noticeable You don't mean to suggest that we should lug around an additional monitor with the Blade Pro, right? Also, if you don't think the difference is noticeable than I'm guessing you've barely ever used a 4K display. If nothing else, I can have 4 VM:s each running 1080p tiled on my display at the same time. (Of course, the same 4x screen-real-estate idea applies to any other application you routinely use.) Try that on a 1080p display!

I'm in a similar boat and fully agree with the gist of your sentiments and Must Haves, but definitely NOT with the Nice-to-Haves... Leave the aesthetics and the logo alone, thank you very much! ;^) organgtoolI While the new Razer Blade Pro offers many of these features, it focuses more on raw power than being a bit more cost-effective and power-efficient. I also don't think this holds water. Razer went with the lowest bracket "highish-end" CPU and max-Q GPU:s on the Pro, neither of which counts as *focus* on "raw power" in my book, more like (a) a budget alternative and/or (b) thermally constrained design. organgtool Also, not offering a screen resolution higher than 1080p on a premium 17" laptop is a deal-breaker for most professionals. Now, *this* is _exactly_ my gripe with the new Pro. If it had a 4K OLED screen, I would've ordered it already. BTW, as second best, I was about to order a 15" Blade with 4K OLED, but it's not available (or even listed) in the EU. I was c

Premo_No 4k display option That's what keeps me from buying, otherwise I think it's quite alright. Sure, an i9 might sound more like a Pro, but this slim chassis probably couldn't handle the heat without throttling.
