I am looking to be a first time gaming laptop buyer and I am hoping someone can help me decide. Will I get screen tearing on the 4k model? The QHD model has G-Sync and I am a big fan of the module, love my Asus ROG G-Sync monitor. Will the 4K model have some sort of G-sync compatible software to eliminate screen tearing. I only play single player games. I want to start Cyberpunk on a 4k screen but cannot stand any screen tearing. Any help on this would be very appreciated.

I do realize I am not going to get frame rates higher than 144hz often if ever playing the games I want to play on max settings, but I understand that doesn't matter. Since the frame rate is always changing and the screen frame rate remains constant, some sort of syncing is necessary. Do I have that right?

Wait what.. the 1080p 3080ti is only 8gig vram? But the qhd is 16gig vram? And there same price is this an error on the website? Razer tighten ur shiet up!

anyone can confirm if this is a typo?

Not gonna lie if I could’ve held off long enough I could have seen myself using this for my streaming pc. Even still it’s tempting. The 280 watt power brick and more speakers is a very nice touch. Plus being able to have the QHD panel instead of the 4K panel with the 3080ti is a much better match I think.

Torn between a new Blade 17 or building a new rig...Either way, pricing is still absurd :slightly_sad:

i feel you man. still undecided myself...

Battery life depends a lot of things, like screen specs, what you’re doing, software (drivers) optimisation so since there’s no detail reviews like from notebookcheck yet we don’t know yet.
On press release specs sheet it’s 165 watt (probably with dynamic boost).

Don’t put 100% your trust on Internet YouTube. There’s a reason with 280Watt AC Adapter, previous pro 17 3080/70 was up to 130 watt tgp and enough powered by 230 watt AC Adapter.

Bigger cassis bigger cooling room, translates better performance.

Yes like GPUs, PS5, Switch Oled prices today.

Doesn't anyone think "pros" would be super glad to have higher displays? Why still stick to 16x9?

Razer has a creator line, or at least they do sometimes. I think that line would be better suited for 16:10. I prefer 16x9 for my gaming screens.

Man... Tempting but that price especially for the 3080ti model is just eye watering

Question about the display on the 4K 17” — it says on the website that it’s a 4K anti glare matte display, but in the downloadable spec sheet it doesn’t say matte, and it’s touch screen.

Which is it? I’m hoping it’s a glass display that’s not matted like my 2020 version. I put in a preorder and I want to sell my current one and upgrade.

Razer Blade 17 with the best performance than blade 14 and 15?

According to https://techno-senior.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Spec-Table-Blade-17-Early-2022.pdf, it looks like 165W GPUs across the RB 17 line for '22.

Blade 17 benchmarks out, quite promising.
