There's this question I have, one I cannot find anywhere a satisfactory answer for: is there any laptop machine on the market, that doesn't resides in the "desktop replacement" category, which shows a fair push in really exploiting to the max the additional space for cooling you have with a 16"/17" model vs a 13"/14"/15" one? I'm asking because it seems to me that most of the performance gain they could squeeze out of 17" chassis is basically left on the table (especially vs a 15" one), in favor of less investment towards developing specific cooling solutions for bigger models, when I look at actual in-game comparisons between two differently sized models of each available series you can buy... (Explaining more clearly: usually they - either push the cooling to maximum efficiency/performance in small machines, while using the most basic solutions for bigger models, - or they just copy paste the smaller machine design with slightly more spaced apart components for bigger models) Maybe an idea for a new category in your future tests and videos? In any case (and as usual), thanks for your consistently high standards of testing and illustrating how these machines work and perform. Keep up the great work!

"Find some way of cloning it". For those wondering. Get an external M.2 ssd enclosure. Put the new SSD in the enclosure. Get a program called macrium reflect. Select the internal SSD and then clone all partitions to the external ssd in the enclosure. You may then have to "extend" the main partition into the free space to get access to the extra space. Then physically swap the SSD's. I have done this successfully several times.

There's a firearm product called aluminum black that is used to touch up dings on anodized aluminum gun frames. Even comes in a pen applicator. Should be able to clean the ding with an alcohol wipe and touch it up with the pen to chemically blacken the exposed non-anodized material. It wont be as thick or durable as a proper anodizing, but works well to touch up annoying dings.

[@Gusbus001]

I know people complain about the price because there are comparable pcs with similar or better performance at lower prices, but people underestimate the importance of durability. I can still use my MacBook Pro 15 from 2013 because it is built better. You can transport these laptops in bag and not worry about it falling apart. Laptops that aren’t built from a unibody design tend to fail not because the components fail, but because wear and tear break the chassis down.

[@sonicboy678]

The problem with that is the conductivity of metal.

Was able to snag the 3070ti version on clearance for just under $1200! I was torn between a g14 2022 with a 6700s and the blade 14 but it ultimately came down to being able to use dlss and build quality for me. This review definitely helped solidify my decision and put some of my doubts at ease :)

[@arditdine9637]

Do you have anny issues with it so far?

I've had the 3070 TI blade 14 and I really like mine - great review as always, I actually didn't know there were function key shortcuts for things in Synapse, so I learned something new!

[@austinmd-01]

How long have you had it? Are there any note worthy issues that have come up? I’m looking into buying one but with the price it seems like a tough choice

[@CottonCandyIceCreamEnjoyer]

@@austinmd-01 For me I have the 3060 ti blade 14 from 2021 (I bought it like on June 16th, a couple days or weeks after it was announced). I have not had a single issue to date and am still happily using this laptop. Why I bought this: I was looking for a laptop that was portable, sleek, would work in a professional setting and won't stand out like crazy at a coffee shop, and something that was insanely powerful (pc specs) and blade 14 checked all of those boxes for me. Issues: Theres no alarming issues at all. Temperature stays reasonably cool depending on your workload. For things like fingerprints, I don't give a ffff xD. To me, tech is something you use so ofc it's gonna fingerprints on it but yeah, it's very easily to clean off but you kinda stop caring after a while lol. More detail to why I like it: - I can use it on my lap if I sit w my thighs going outwards like a V shape, allowing the fans to not get blocked while having proper support for it to rest comfortably on my legs. - Weight is pretty good for a beast like this but not even close to weight when compared with like an macbook air or surface book laptops so keep that in mind (but if you get this, it means you want it more for the performance of the machine itself so ye) Should you buy? That is 100% up to you and your situation with your money. This is one hell of a good investment because I know it's' gonna be able to be used for years and years but make sure you get this laptop only if you are going to use the specifications of it like the graphics card to a reasonable amount of its potential. Btw I typed all this while in the bathroom LOL with this on my lap and gotta say the typing experience is still smooth and amazing. Since I already had over a year to get used to the keyboard, it really feels comfortable and nice to type on this beast of a machine. Ask me more questions because I'm 100% just a "typical" consumer of this machine and will try my best to spread more info about my experiences w this (keep in mind tho again that its the 2021 version)

The fact it's only got 16 GB of RAM is kinda sad. As well as the fact you can't put a second drive into it. Don't tell me they couldn't fit at least a 2230 slot in there. Even such a tiny little thing as the GPD Win Max 2 can fit two m.2 drives and it's a 10" device. It would be very nice to see even if it was just a 2230 slot.

[@cameronbosch1213]

@@B1u35ky Still, it’s got powerful specs and could be great for content creation, but the lack of RAM upgrades, even at the time of purchase, makes the laptop unsuitable for serious content creation and will hurt this laptop’s longevity down the road. @Uruglot, I think they didn’t offer more than 16 GB because Intel bribed them not to do it. There’s no proof, but given most other laptops in this class either have some RAM upgradeable (the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14) or have all of the RAM soldered but offer a 32 GB RAM option at the time of the purchase (Alienware x14 & x15, Asus ROG Flow x13, and Apple’s MacBook Pros). That leads the bribing theory as the only other likely option; sadly, that makes this laptop unsuitable for my use cases, so I had to go for the bigger Blade 17… I really like it, but the battery life is beyond horrible!

[@Pamani_]

There is at least a 10C margin on the GPU, which could be used to either reduce fan speed or increase power limit. Shame on Razer for kneecapping it's performance.

[@talhagrgen]

I believe mobile Ampere starts throttling at 84°C, so it has even more headroom than 10°c. It should able to cool 115-140W power config depending on CPU load.

[@Pamani_]

@@talhagrgen Yep, something like 86/87C. Using Newton's law of cooling we can try to estimate how much it can handle. I get 120W without the cooling pad and 130W with it. So I would say Razer could have used 115+15W instead of 90+10W.

Build quality is excellent, great metal, feels just as nice as a macbook. Touchpad feels even nicer than mac's design. A bit expensive for what you get but for casual gamer use (if you're rich and really want that sleek mac style aesthetic compared to more garish gaming laptop designs) its a great buy

[@Romash.]

Hey jarrod's when is the 2022 legion 7 and slim 7 coming when are you unboxing????

[@paolo11x11]

Soft, chip-able paint rather than highly durable anodizing seems like a cheap choice for a laptop at this price point, as does 16gb soldered ram(!) Still, Razer's Apple-like price gouging is to be expected at this stage - if it costs more it must be better, right?

[@paolo11x11]

So I did some research and Razer says it is indeed anodized, but other industry sources that do anodizing say that that kind of chipping, scratching or wear can happen when the anodizing is very thin - so it sounds like Razer is cheaping out on the process regardless. There is also no satisfactory way of repairing such damage as the repair will stand out more than the scratch itself. Ironically some manufacturers claim to have paint products that are more durable than anodizing, but cost more to utilise, which I suspect would make them a no-go for Razer.

[@TechTyrial]

Ghees. Razer sure knows about prices. But man these machines look premium. A lot of attention to detail. Just like your reviews Jarrod.

So, in other words. . .this machine is a hard pass.

[@cameronbosch1213]

Yeah, because of the RAM limit, I cannot recommend it for people who do heavy content creation… Intel probably bribed Razer; I literally cannot think of any other reason…

[@somethingithink3731]

Yeah I would just get a zephyrus g14 ro dell g15 5515 with the faster screen.

[@ACE112ACE112]

The price

[@somethingithink3731]

People forget that it's better to buy a pc if you want a rtx 3080ti it's better because its more faster in every way. so don't waste money.

[@pulseofme6884]

Just like all razer laptops they're trash and often then not have massive issues, and on top of that their customer service is hot garbo aswell

[@amalek.92]

Wait a minute, so when you switch to dedicated GPU using MUX, you don't get to enable "G-Sync" in Nvidia Control Panel like any FreeSync monitor that is "G-Sync Compatible"?

Razer Blade 14 are sequel of Wesley snipes Blade 3

[@openbabel]

Have they fixed the exploding batteries which forums scream about or customer service ? Professional wonder if Labre versions come in 14 inch versions? is the x1 carbon any better.

[@nomiguda]

Are you doing a review for the Alienware x14?

[@saiyangokublack]

is this good for streaming

[@goober606]

If the HDMI port is connected to the dGPU regardless of whether Optimus is on or off, would activating the MUX switch make no difference?

[@JarrodsTech]

That's correct. The external display is connected directly to the dgpu.

[@OfficialTMClan]

I've got the same laptop but its a 3070, how do you get your razer synapse do you have a link to download it? Because mine doesn't show the silent mode and GPU mode. I've check with razer and my laptop is 100% compatible with everything so I'm not sure why it's not there

[@raja6950]

Professional help please Is ryzen 5 5600h with turbo boost 4.2ghz better or i5 10th gen with turbo boost 4.5ghz better? Ryzen one is on HP and the intel on is on Legion 5

[@testtestlast4306]

Will you test the Thinkpad X1 Extreme gen 5 when its released (soon)?

[@dxrkhartduellinks690]

[@taylerrichards3534]

[@dxrkhartduellinks690]

@@taylerrichards3534 it’s really great make sure you turn off the turbo on the cpu otherwise it runs super hot and the entire laptop is metal
