Razer Blade 16 Gaming Laptop: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 - Intel Core i9-14900HX 14th Gen CPU - 16" OLED QHD+ 240Hz Display - 64GB RAM - 4TB SSD - Windows 11 - Chroma RGB - Snap Tap

This is about my 12th laptop... I'm an older software developer who general prefers gaming/desktop-replacement laptops so I can do most of my work on the road including running demanding simulators and gaming software at acceptable frame rates. Anyway, I've had a few. This is the best one I've ever had! The build quality and design rivals Apple. The performance is stellar. With the mobile 4080, I can even run most games in 4K at over 120FPS. 1440 is >300FPS all day. The fans are a bit noticeable when under load, a bit higher pitched than I am used to, but acceptable and nothing unexpected. The keyboard tactile feedback/feel is not great, that is really the only con I have on this. A bit more travel and switch sensitivity would be better. I got the 16", because most ~17"-18" laptops are huge and unwieldy to travel with. But this is so efficiently designed, that I would have been happy with even the 18" as a travel laptop and it probably would fit in most backpacks too. The 16" is extremely mobile and is roughly the same size dimensions as my old Dell XPS 15. Well done Razer, well done nVidia.

I have been thru many top brands of high end laptops. I primarily use my laptop for engineering work which is computationally heavy on everything. Razer laptops handle it like a champ.They are expensive but sturdy and have minimal bloatware.My only real complaint isn't exactly fair. The battery life could be better. However the way I use these computer is like asking for Corvette to get amazing gas milage while you constantly pushing it to operate at top speed.

I bought nearly every 4090 laptop and returned them all. THIS was the overall winner. The lighting effects are something I didn't think I would enjoy this much but no one compares to Razer when it comes to keyboard lighting effects. Individual lights and the wider array of color should be the standard. The screen is rich and saturated like a Samsung laptop if that's something that is important to you. Battery life sucks of course cause its a gaming laptop duh. The fans aren't annoyingly loud at full blast like others I've tried. I spent a year and went through around 10 laptops and decided on this. Wait for a renewed version and saved $1500 to take the edge off the price. Its worth it.

Ordered from the Amazon “Razer store”. I ordered the Top spec 4090 and payed the 4k price…. Got sent a 4080 that had a wrong label 2nd label without anyone even checking the box label… kinda shady. Buyer beware.

Likes to run very hot. Linux compatibility is alright but realtek does not upstream sound drivers for the onboard speakers.However it is a powerhouse, screen is beautiful, and built quality feels nice

I am probably not the target audience for this laptop since I rarely play video games, the only game I have played on it is FF7 Remake. The design is awesome, screen is very vibrant (reason why I decided to upgrade), sound, and build quality is excellent. I would not recommend to anyone who would have to pick between this laptop and their yearly vacation or forego necessities, it is definitely a want and not a need. This year's Zephyrus G16 does the same for a $1000 less ($500 now that it's on sale), so it's definitely more about the aesthetic of this laptop if you are considering purchasing.

Laptop is powerful and it is feels. Under load the front panel below the screen is heats up stronger. But cooling system copes with everything. Touchpad shall be do differently. When you will be printing you often will be accidentally touching with your hand, and it will be changing text pointer to random place and it annoying. But it can be "fixed" via disable "Tap with a single finger to single-click" option in Touchpad system settings. And therefore, the touchpad should be like on MacBook with full clickable space and not only in the lower part.Sometimes after you close the lid and move the laptop to sleep state it continues some intensive work for a while. It noticeable by intensified cooling system. Maybe it Windows 11 peculiarity. Sometimes after it went from sleep state you will get strange periodically screen freezes is about 1.5 - 2 seconds during some time. During these freezes some anomaly behavior in task manager is not found. It's very strange and unusual especially after macOS and Ubuntu use experience for a long time. But I'm sure the freezes have nothing to do with hardware and this is solely a system and software problem and may be to do with my settings changes.

The laptop is not bad. Some of the best speakers that I have had on a laptop. First issue, the description stated 32gb of ram.....WRONG it came with only 16gb. Ended up upgrading to 64gb. Started acting weird so I did a total reset and it seemed to help. Don't know what I was expecting but not seeing a 1000.00 difference between the Razor and the MSI I recently purchased. The MSI runs cooler playing the same games, loads faster, and has a bigger and better battery life.
