Razer Thunderbolt 4 Dock for Blade 15 (2022)

I just ordered a Blade 15 and will be using it at work and at home. In the past, I’ve had a surface laptop combined with a surface dock and enjoyed the ability to just plug in a single cable to power/charge and connect my peripherals, such as a monitor and speakers. I’d like to have the same ability with my Blade 15, but will the Thunderbolt 4 Chroma Dock provide enough power to the Blade 15 (I read online it only supplies 90 watts via USB C) for basic office work on a single external monitor? Most of my job is done through a browser but I occasionally need to do some light photoshop. Or do you think I’m better off buying another power supply to leave at my office instead and use a usb-c dongle for peripherals? Any and all help/advice is appreciated!

Razer Blade 17 Support for WD Black SN850

Will the new (2022) Blade 17 support two 1TB WD Black SN850's in a raid 0 configuration? Also, it is my understanding that the WD runs hot. Is anyone aware of whether or not this is a problem in this laptop and, if so, would a pair of Samsung 980 Pros or Sabrent Rocket 4s be better?

Blade Advance 15 randomly turning off

Hi guys, like quite a few other people I had to remove the battery from my 2019 razer blade adv due to swelling. I'm now running without a battery but with heavy game usage the notebook has started to switch off unexpectedly. It looks like it has become more frequent in the latest weeks, and I have narrowed down the cause to a few things: 1) not enough power coming from the brick during high CPU/GPU usage, which causes a sudden switch off due to the battery missing as a backup in case of a peak. 2) a thermal issue: possibly either the CPU or GPU overheating. 3) a windows update 4) a combination of all of the three above. It could very well be a system update which caused a slight increase in CPU usage and therefore (1), or the system overheating certain components as now all of the power needs to come from the power connector rather than being split evenly between battery and brick. Has anyone experienced anything similar? Did anyone had a good experience in replacing the battery? Does

Blade 15 base Upgrade Ram.

Hey people! I have a 2019 blade 15 with already upgraded HD space running 2TB Samsung Evo 980 but I am still on stock 2667mhz 16GB ram i would like to upgrade the ram due to using it for gaming as well as capturing Gameplay on my Xbox Series X I run the Series X with a Samsung g70a 4k 144hz I also use a Alienware 25 1080p 240Hz for my laptop as a secondary display or when i am gaming on it. which the machine handles quiet well I may add. BUT, when I don't use synapse due to running other things in the background I have a terrible experience due to that 16gb of ram being tapped out. I wanted to throw 64gb of ballistics in it but from what I've been reading and seeing 32gb is more then enough. That being said with running a capture for the gameplay on my Xbox searching the web and other tasks I would just like some suggestions. Thanks in Advance for whomever answers! :smile_:

Razer Blade 15 Advanced chargin problem

Hello everybody! So I recently bought a Razer Blade 15 Advanced 2018 "with a i7-8750H and GTX1070" I bought it from a guy for a very low price. The guy told me there was a problem with the laptop and it doesn't charge at all and yes it doesn't he had changed the battery with a brand new one, but the problem still persist. The laptop works perfectly on a charger but while gaming temps go high to 95-97C friends tell me that it's normal for an I7 and a 1070 but I would like to hear more opinions from people that actually own a system like this. And do you have any other suggestions on the charging problem. I have tried uninstalling the battery driver and everything but it keeps saying No battery is detected, plugged in, fully charged 100% and when I remove the charger the laptop shuts down. I would appreciate any help and suggestions. Regards!

Availability Razer Blade 14 (2022) AMD

Hello everyone, I don't know if I'm able to post this here, but I'm planning to buy the Razer Blade 14 2022 (with the RTX 3060), but it's still unavailable (I couldn't pre-order it due to money xD) Does anyone know when this specific laptop is available again? If needed: I'm from Europe (The Netherlands). I hope to get an answer about this :) Kind regards, HueZuX

Razer 15 lid close - screen issue

When I connect razer blade (base 15, rtx3070) to TV via HDMI and close the lid - it would not auto shut off laptop screen. So I kind of have to always game with laptop screen on (when lid is closed) and mirror display setting to TV. Is this a windows 10 home edition issue or some laptop sensor missing? is this a known issue?

Installed Replacement Battery I Purchased through Razer Support

Yes. You read that right. Just 2 short months ago I discovered my Razer battery was swelling (slight bulging of the chassis - 15" 2019 Razer Blade Advanced Merc. White), and, having been alerted to this issue from prior Blade owners I quickly removed the battery just as that happened and no lasting damage to the chassis or internal parts. In fact it was only just a little bit of pressure, the back cover immediately sprung open when I removed it. Ok, battery removed, laptop still functional, no harm no foul. I contacted Razer Support through Facebook Messenger (crazy how many different ways you can contact Razer support), and found out my laptop was technically still supported by its warranty (even though the official Razer support website said it wasn't). I still did not want to ship a fully functional laptop when all I needed was a battery, and I was willing to purchase it even. Razer (at the time) refused, saying company policy did not let them do this, the laptop would have to be RM

RAM and HD Upgrade Help/ General Questions

Good day and thank you in advance for the advice. I just got a refurbished/new Blade 17 Pro and would like some advise on upgrading the RAM and HDD/SSD. Also this is my first gaming type laptop as well as my first non Mac computer as well so please go easy on me here. lol I usually game on PS4/PS5 when at home but a friend of mine told me about PC gaming so here I am giving this a shot. The system currently has 16G RAM and a 500G drive. I was thinking of going to 32G of RAM and 1TB drive but not sure if it would be better/more cost effective to go to a 64G RAM as well. What would be the recommended brand/type of RAM chips to install and recommended brand/type of HDD/SSD to install? I do a lot of traveling for work and mainly game on the road. I have also noticed this PC get REALLY REALLY hot. I am guessing this is normal when running games such as Elden Ring and Destiny 2 ? Any advice welcome and opinions. Thank you again

Thunderbolt 3 networking on Blade advanced 2020

Hi, I'm unable to use thunderbolt networking on my Blade, I have installed thunderbolt drivers, I have allowed networking but still cannot see any network connections. Please advise... I've also tried using the thunderbolt control center - neither of these offer any help. I am used to macbooks so this seems overly complex... I am trying to have a thunderbolt 3 network from a macbook to the blade. I might resort to buying ethernet adaptors but that feels sad tks Carrie

Core X ok to switch off or better to unplug TB connector?

Hi all I am using my Core X with a NUC 8th gen i5 a few times a week to play games. Otherwise I dont need the Core X to be running as I leave the NUC on all the time. I have been switching the Core X off with the power switch when I dont need to use. Sometimes when I switch it back on, it seems like there is a little bit of a surge in power. I am wondering if it is better to unplug the TB connector like one would do if this were a laptop or if using the power switch on the Core X to turn off and on as I am doing is OK?

Still no downloads for the Razer Blade 14 2021

Hi, I've looked through the other threads here, and had my own lengthy discussions with support. Please do not tell me to download the recovery USB. Restoring to factory settings is *not the same as a fresh install of Windows*. Every other laptop in the universe, I can install windows, then I can go to the support page for my laptop, and I can download and install all the necessary software for my laptop to work. I can even do this with other razer blade laptops, just not the 2021 blade 14 model. This "download page" has had one single download for months. Why are there no posted downloads for the blade 14 2021? Why does it work differently than every other laptop ever? How do I know ahead of time if I buy a razer laptop in the future, whether it will have this kind of lack of industry standard support?

Razer Blade 14 has very poor VR performance, is there a way to bypass NVIDIA Optimus?

Note 1: I am fine with the 40-50fps, the issue is if I want to upgrade to a Valve Index or something like it I don't think I could get even 20fps as is. I've been using my Razer blade 14 3070 for about 5 months now and VR performance has been quite poor. I'm using a Quest 1 with Link and I was wondering the following: Is there a way for me to bypass NVIDIA Optimus so I can get more than 40-50fps? Is one of the USB-Cs directly connected to the GPU or are both of them connected to the integrated graphics? Does anyone else have experience of the Razer Blade 14 working well with other VR headsets or Oculus Link (while being tethered)? I am NOT asking about the performance of any other laptop with the same GPU or with Optimus, a Blade 15, or a wireless setup. Could the fact that I'm using the cable that came with the headset actually be an issue? I've seen claims that it both matters and doesn't matter if I use the cable. Lastly, Is there a way for me to set up an External GPU then just plu

Razer Blade 17 (2022)

Hey guys! I noticed that as a brand new system there wasn't much out there on the newest Razer Blade 17 laptop. Figured I would throw out a very broad thread with a few specs, upgrades, and questions. So, into the knitty gritty. The specs on my system are as listed: Early 2022 Razer Blade 17 with 1080p screen 3080 ti with 8gb GDDR6 VRAM 32gb of ddr5 4800MHz memory 1 TB m.2 SSD 12th gen i7-1200H First thing I did was install a Samsung 980 pro 1TB m.2 SSD into the secondary slot. Access was simple and easy. Once I opened the bottom of the laptop case the additional m.2 slot was spotted on the right hand side (the computer's track pad closest to me) To my surprise there was quite a thick foam pad in the slot, initially I attempted to install the m.2 over the foam pad. That began to bend the m.2 to an uncomfortable curve, so I removed the foam pad. As expected the slot was high build quality and the new component fit perfectly. After reattaching the bottom plate, ensuring none of the 10 ve

My Razer 15 won't use the GPU onboard?

I have a Razer Blade 2018 laptop with a GTX 1070 (RZ09-02386E52-R3U1). My laptop will not use the 1070 GPU no matter what I do and seems intent on only using the integrated graphics with the Intel CPU. I have tried changing the preferred GPU in Nvidia Control Panel. I have also tried setting the 1070 as the default GPU in the Windows 10 display settings. Task manager still reports only GPU 0 (the integrated graphics) being used even while running demanding games which are far out of the integrated graphics' ability to run at a stable frame rate. How can I force my Razer Blade to make use of the 1070 as opposed to integrated graphics?

Keyboards on the Razer Blade 14, 15 and 17.

Hi, I had a question about the Keyboard on the Razer Blade lineup. Before I state my question, I wanted to give some insight. So from what I understand from following Razer on what they have done, in the past when they came out with the Razer Blade Pro, that had an Ultra Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard on it. My question is do the Razer Blade 14, 15 and 17 have mechanical keyboards like that, or are they just laptop standard membrane keyboards? The reason why I bring that up is because by now everybody should know that having a Mechanical Keyboard (or Optical if you want to talk Razer Huntsman, which is also the keyboard I am currently using on my desktop) is pretty much the standard for gaming. Also, I've noticed some of Razers rivals such as Alienware and ASUS ROG coming up with their own solutions to ultra low profile keyboards, such as Alienware teaming up with Cherry MX to make their first mechanical keyboard for laptops (and by they, I mean this is Cherry MX's first shot at it),

Sourcing a US Keyboard Layout Razer Blade 17" 2022 model while living in the UK

Hi all, I'm very much hoping my next question (underneath the intro paragraph) can be answered by anyone officially affiliated with Razer, or perhaps anyone with experience. Intro: I'm a prospective RB 17 buyer living in London, I'm specifically after the 2022 3070ti QHD 240hz model with the core i7. I've visited the store front, tried out the blade in person, and loved every aspect of it except for one well-known flaw: All UK layout RBs that are not base models (as base models don't have per-key lighting) have the secondary function symbols on those keys totally unlit. While some would be totally fine with this, I personally find it unacceptable to go from a RB 19 base model (with all the keys lit properly) to dropping approx 3.5k on a new product with an overall inferior experience. It would make it very annoying to use in any low light situation, having to guess or try to memorize which key controls brightness, volume etc. I've seen countless threads here and on reddit created by ut
