RAZER BOOK 13 | A Force of Productivity is Born

Sadly no ryzen offers from razer yet :slightly_sad:

• Keyboard misses letters randomly unless I relly punch the keys. I am going to type this whole thing without fixing the missing letters from naturally typing so you can see how often it occurs. Because of this, typing smoothly and quickly is not easy and my speed drops from 100-120 wpm down to around 80-90 wpm from backing up and retyping. I really hope it will "break in" or at least maybe get used to it over time. The only redeeming feature is the included keyboard software for remapping, macros, etc. It has incredibly impressive rollover tht (I've managed 14+ keys at once) is just killed by how much pressure is needed to keep a key actuated.
  
• The edges are super sharp. My wrists almost have a rash from resting my palms on the on the pam rest and the li at each edge of the touchpad comes to a point tht is sharp enough to leave a mark if you accidentally brush up a knuckle against it. The part of the screen tht lifts the base of the aptop off the surface is also sharp. If you wnt to put it into a lower performance mode so it doesn't get too hot to safely use it in your lap, it is still too unomfortable to do that.
  
• The screen also ony barely tilts back 45 degrees from vertical, so using it in your lap is not a good ide anyway. If you want to get around the keyboard difficulties by using an external keyboard, you can't tilt the screen flat and ut it on a vertial stand like a ThinkPad or flip the bottom half under itself to be its own stand like a productivity 2-in-1. This is a device that is only really at home on a desk.
  
• The hinge is stiff enough to eep the screen from wobbling when touch is in use. However, the finger well to lift the lid is designed in a way that makes it hard to actually get any grip without putting a fingernail in rght where the camer is locted.
  
  
• Speaker grill is a zillion tiny holes pointed directly uward that enjoy eating the tiniest pieces of dust to be never successfully cleaned out and the sound is no better than any other laptop I've used. If audio is needed, headhones end up being used the majority of the time anyway.
  
• The panel is awesome and whites look very whte with the ICC profile mine shipped with. Any visible backlight bleed only appears at the absolute edges and stops there. However, how Windows plays with HDR ontent is a nightmare and to toggle HDR on and off for HDR YouTube videos or similar ontent required me to put together a macro that does: Windows key, "Enable HDR Streaming", Enter, clicks indows HDR color settings, and clicks the Use HDR toggle. I then have to refresh the page for YouTube to recognize that it is HDR. I know this is a Windows problem and not a Razer problem but still...
