New Blade 18 2024 : Shipment is on hold right after being shipped (Exception)

No, not for that config.  The order of progression of shipping status can be a little strange coming from China.  I doubt anything is really wrong and that it will be on its way to you soon.

Blade 16 Mini LED BOE problems

The 2023 has discounts because it is not as good as the 2024.  I would strongly suggest you return it and get the 2024.  It is worth the extra cost if you can afford it.  I had the 2023 (a couple of them) and returned them.  I have the 2024 now and it happens to have the same BOE panel but my experience is completely opposite (perhaps the difference is in manufacturing from BOE, perhaps unidentified hardware changes, perhaps software updates, etc.).  It also has the ability to enable a single dimming zone.  I prefer it now over other options.

Should palm rest on Razer Blade 16 with RTX 4090 be 42 degrees Celsius after 10 minutes of game play on "Balanced" setting???

I had replaced my Razer Blade 16 UHD 4090 with the Razer Blasé 18 4090 because the 16 was so incredibly hot and therefore uncomfortable to use (the lack of a single dimming zone was also an issue).I absolutely love the RB 18 and it is very comfortable to game on.  But, I have been looking forward to a UHD display for it.  Though announced, it still seems as if it will be a long while before it comes out.Now that the 2024 RB 16 has the single dimming zone option I am thinking of trying it again.  But if it is still as hot I would be wasting my time.  HHas anything changed in the 2024 RB 16 that would make the palm wrests and WSAD keys cooler?

RAZER BLADE 16 | Fastest. Sharpest. Clearest.

Yeah,  you are not alone.  Unfortunately, it looks like this won’t happen for awhile.  Some of the talk at CES seemed to suggest they haven’t even settled on the panel for the 18 4k and the demo units had placeholder lids on them.  So…

You want to be able to do that for content creation.  You only want multi zone dimming for playing games or watching movies .

That stinks for the 2023 but seems to suggest something hardware-wise had to be changed which explains the radio silence from Razer on this issue for the 2023 year. I had returned my 2023.  I think I will try it again with the 2024 model!   Hopefully I can setup a macro or something to enable local dimming when gaming.

Has anything changed regarding the 16" UHD+, 16:10 (3840 x 2400 WQUXGA) / FHD+ 16:10 (1920 x 1200, WUXGA) display since originally introduced last year?  Does it have the same number of dimming zones?  Does Razer synapse allow them to be treated as a single zone when using for productivity?

Razer Blade 18 RTX 4090 suddenly keeps locking into 60Hz from 240Hz when plugged in - WT???

Debugging this further, it seems these issues are also avoided while using the latest Nvidia driver if you leave Optimus mode on in the Nvidia control panel.  I had it set to dGPU only.

I can work around this by rolling back the Nvidia driver.  Of course, then COD III complains I don’t have the right driver…   OK Driver:31.0.15.36677/12/2023Bad Driver:31.0.15.460110/26/2023

Razer Blade 16 Mini-LED local dimming

Lenovo’s Legion 9i Mini-LED also has a single dimming zone option.  I am mystified by Razer’s lack of implementation for this.  Any update Razer?  Razer advertised the 16 with mini-led as for creators so….?

I returned my RB16 because of this (I am a software developer and can not write code on this laptop due to this issue) and bought a ROG Strix Scar 16 which has the ability to with local dimming on and off. I would sell that and buy another RB16 if Razer added this feature.

Should palm rest on Razer Blade 16 with RTX 4090 be 42 degrees Celsius after 10 minutes of game play on "Balanced" setting???

I think the problem can be addressed with a more aggressive fan curve.  If I manually push the fans to max then the palm rest surface temperature can be 6 degrees F cooler.  Still over 102+, but not nearly as uncomfortable as when it pushes 110F (anything over 105 is just too hot and 105 should not be the norm at 15 minutes of gaming).  Of course, manually setting the fans to max at all times is not really a solution as that means it is way too loud at all times.I would be happy to try a more aggressive fan curve for you guys.

2nd slot for NVMe is blocked by pad in new Razer Blade (2022) 17"

FYI - I spoke with support at Razer and they said this pad could be removed. I have since removed it cleanly and installed the new SSD. The inside of the back lid comes from the factory with large/thick heat pads for each slot and so no additional head sync was required. Installed easily and I now have an extra 2 TB with 6588 MB/s read and 4953 MB/s write. Used Samsung 980 PRO. Nice SSD.

[CES 2022] RAZER BLADE 17 - Power To The Pros

Just received my RB 17 4K with RTX 3080 ti and i9. I am impressed. To start, thank you Razer for putting in a great keyboard!!! OMG - I have been waiting years for this keyboard, so thank you! I am perfectly productive on it and the keys are cut so crisply. Also, not sure how Razer did it, but after using several hours I see no smudges. Wwwwhhhhaaaatttt???? Awesome! This machine oozes quality. Speakers and screen are also great. So, on to performance. First, this has a 165W GPU - Thank you! Second, the nVME SSD Gen 4 is on the high end with reads around 6200 MB/s. Some vendors have been putting in the cheap/slow Gen 4 SSDs. Not so here. Third, GPU/CPU performance does not disappoint. Just getting some number now, but a sampling.... (Note - These numbers are using MUX to switch to discrete GPU and Razer Synapse set to highest for CPU and GPU. It may be that we could see higher GPU scores if the CPU was lowered to balanced as the default was set to. Under load the

BLADE 15 RTX 30 SERIES | Still the Best Gaming Laptop

ZephirStSo, I got the Advanced model with rtx3080 and QHD screen. When I connect it via usbc or thunderbolt to my docking station, it looks like it cannot run the external monitor at its native refresh rate (144hz) but at max at 120hz. I can see that the dGPU is running it, it correctly recognize it and display the gsync options as well, but if I set 144hz nothing comes up on the monitor (the machine seems to believe it's sending the signal, but the monitor does not receive anything). Anyone with similar experiences? What docking station are you using to pass thru your signal from the laptop to the monitor? That may be the bottleneck. Try connecting directly to the monitor.

BLADE 15 RTX 30 SERIES | Still the Best Gaming Laptop

It appears a bug exists wherein whenever you switch away from the dGPU and then switch back (either manually or via Optimus), the refresh rate of the panel is reset to 60Hz even if you had it set at 240Hz previously. Refresh rate control is in multiple places (windows advanced display settings, the Razer Synapse tool, ?) so not sure where the bug is but hopefully they will be fixing this issue. Also, I can't seem to really get whisper mode to work. It is enabled in Ge Force Experience if the laptop is in Balanced mode. But I would not describe the fans as making a "whisper" level of noise when all available settings are set to the lowest fan speed.

devinusMine is locked at 60hz plugged in on my 3080 QHD. It doesn’t show the 240hz option. I’m not sure why, I just got the laptop today and haven’t messed with any settings or installed any drivers at all. First go to the NVIDIA control panel and switch display mode to the discrete graphics. Then go to the advanced display settings under windows settings, select the gsync panel, then select 240hz.

XrayNorthWestNo - Not while plugged in. See attached pic. If I use the NVIDIA control panel and set the Display Mode to "Automatic Select" then in Desktop it selects Optimus and in that case it is limited to 60 Hz (as expected).
