Razer Blade 16 2023 Unboxing and First Impressions

[@roaringsimba4318]

Thanks for selling a kidney, omg, so finny, i could laugh all day 😂

[@MashITTech]

😂 I need the other one so I guess I can’t afford any more razer laptops 😢

[@ethancbaker2002]

It’s the truth lmao

[@jessegriffin9]

I wanna know which genius decided to remove secondary function backlit in a pricier device. Asus has a better deal IMO. Strix G18 i9-13980HX, RTX 4080 for $2500 MSRP

[@MashITTech]

If you are in USA you still get backlit secondary functions. It is only is Europeans that get stiffed 😢

[@jessegriffin9]

@@MashITTech I am from SEA. Laptops are pricier in here than in the US but less expensive than in the UK. I guess UK tax electronic goods too much. But in this case I just don't understand why Razer decided to remove it in a particular region. They are blind or something

[@willdtechthings2683]

New office looks great! Micro fibre cloth is a nice touch. I’m holding out for x16 4090, looks like we have to wait till march.

[@MashITTech]

Thanks mate, it’s almost finished! Think you will be more than happy with the 4090 and mini led! The 4080 is already blowing me away and the 4090 is a good chunk faster!

[@thedrummernator3892]

Utterly mindblowing that the UK/Europe versions receive a keyboard without secondary functions properly lit. I've had to order my blades from the US for two years running just to circumvent this inexplicable flaw. What's worse, is that it's never officially addressed no matter how many people complain.

[@MashITTech]

It drives me crazy, and we pay more for the privilege!! I am going to call razer out on Twitter and see if I can get some official response

[@thedrummernator3892]

@@MashITTech That's a great idea. Note that they always use the US keyboard layouts in all their promotional shots which is misleading. Glad that this issue is being brought to light through videos like yours. 🙏🏻

[@levygaming3133]

Will definitely be eagerly awaiting further videos on this, especially about undervolting, battery life, speakers, and the 4090 version with that 1000 nits miniLED display. Can you reach out to Razer about if using the overclocking feature voids the warranty? I noticed it mentioned a risk of causing damage to the device, but curiously didn’t explicitly say that use voids the warranty. Definitely important information to know. Also, could you check if you can disable individual cores on the CPU, either in Bios or wherever? There were a few scenarios where last years 12900hk beat out the 12900hx, and that’s all the difference between the two. Would be nice to have be able to have your cake and eat it too, being able to turn the extra cores off when it’s a benefit, and turn them back on for multithreaded loads like Blender or 7Zip.

[@MashITTech]

I sure can but if they include it in synapse as a feature I am 99.9% sure they will have to still honour warranty

[@anmol3457]

The battery life will be horrible, to nobody's surprise.

[@adinnugroho6544]

I just bought my new Hoodie last week. And is just as good as what you wear on that video

[@robballer]

Been waiting for this video. I wish Razer had a trade in program bc I just got a Razer Blade 14 last year these 40 series laptops are amazing!

[@MashITTech]

Yeah that would be handy but they always give you so little when you trade in, you are probably better off selling locally or on eBay and getting the new model, this is what I usually do once I finish with review units so I can afford the next models

[@Vandiekins]

95c cpu on forza. ouch. i got the alienware x16 and hopefully the quadfans will make the temps better. currently have a m15r5 and cpu temps are awful.

[@sadsappysucker_]

use UXTU to limit cpu tdp to 25W ,and undervolt AMD ryzen 9 5900hx cpu ..yes one can now undervolt amd. I have the m15 r5 as well

[@MashITTech]

I haven't started tweaking or undervolting the CPU yet, hopefully I can get these temps down pretty easily

[@mrclean2022]

Been searching for weeks now and I'm thinking this is the one I'm going to splurge on. Nice to hear the fans and temps weren't that bad. Also hoping there's no coil whine

[@MashITTech]

I had no coil whine at all and I am very sensitive to it. Fans can be quite loud in maxed out performance mode but on balanced (which still performs amazingly) it’s really pleasant. I will cover this more in the main review coming early next week

[@AndyBakos82]

I am on the fence about buying a Blade 18 or an ASUS Rog Scar 18. I usually use a computer for at least 4-5 years and while I am ok shelling out more for it, I need it to be reliable for a long time. I heard about quality control issues with Razer, e.g. parts failing in a year or two. Does anyone have experience with newer Razers vs. Asus? What is your opinion when choosing between the two?

[@madcatter972]

Really looking forward to your full review of this one, & even more so - the 4k mini led one! Would you mind checking to see if Razer have implemented battery charge limiting in this machine? Jarrod recently reviewed the 18 inch one & Razer have FINALLY provided this option, but I don't know if it's just for the 18 inch or other new models. That option is a gamechanger for me.

[@MashITTech]

sorry mate, I missed this question! Yes the 16 also has the battery charge limiting (from 60-80%). As I am mostly on mains I have mine set to 70%

[@madcatter972]

@@MashITTech ah cheers for that. This makes it a contender! Great vid btw, which I rudely forgot to mention. Prob bc your vids are always excellent!

[@guysketch9720]

I know it is challenging keeping the fan noise low in a gaming laptop with all these performances, but it is annoying after a long day. But I think they all have to invest and good tech and fix that.

[@MashITTech]

That is so true but at least with the blade you can switch to a different profile for slightly less performance and much quieter gaming! I am going to cover this more in an upcoming video

[@Eleganttf2]

Yeah don't worry about that, Airjet by Frore system already designed and invented a small and thin and very good replacement for today's cooling fan standard for future laptops

[@ИгорьАлексеев-э6в]

Hey, Dave! Is undervolting applicable on this machine? And if so, any battery or thermals improvement of it?

[@MashITTech]

CPU is completely unlocked for undervolting and overclocking! I haven't yet had time to start tweaking with it yet or trying to improve battery but all that will be covered in my deep dive video I will start work on next week once I have finished the full review :)

[@ИгорьАлексеев-э6в]

@@MashITTech Thanks! It's interesting, if there is the point where you can choke down the CPU a little bit without sacrificing performance. As always, nice video and waiting for the next one!

How is 4K gaming with these new 4000 series laptops? On Warzone I get about 100 fps on my Alienware X17 R2 with a 4K 120hz panel and 3080ti so I am curious what kind of performance gains to that do the 4000 series graphics bring?

so clean for only 29k subscribers... Can u speak about egpu ? possibility to buy a desktop gpu to connect with an older laptop pc to convert this older laptop pc to a real gamer laptop ?

[@MashITTech]

Thank you mate. Is the EGPU for an older laptop you have? I have spent a lot of time playing with EGPUs over the years and you loose a lot of performance over the thunderbolt bus. I find it fine for causal gaming but I wouldn't advise it for competitive gaming due to the inability to get constant high FPS regardless of the GPU you use.

[@lune1822]

@@MashITTech Hello thank you for your feedback. I have an Alienxare m17 r4 with an rtx 3080 16g at 150w and 32gb of ram. And an older 10th Gen Intel I7 processor. It is true that the graphics card is very powerful (score 13400 on 3d mark time spy) but the processor picks up. I don't know where the problem comes from but in video games the performances are not incredible; take the example of a simple game like league of legend, in 1080p it runs at 130 fps on average with a use of 10 to 20% of the graphics card, and impossible to use all the power of the graphics card to have better FPS, yet my screen is at 360 hertz, and League of Legends settings are unlimited FPS. And this problem is recurring for many games. Maybe the problem comes from the optimization of the Nvidia settings, but I saw several explanation videos and normally I configured everything well.

[@JtwasLuck]

Best laptop on the market but man when is Razer bringing in the Mercury White version?!?

[@MashITTech]

They did it recently to the 14 so I wonder if they will do a mid year refresh with mercury! If they bring one out now I would cry as there is no way I could afford another blade 16 atm and I would love the mercury too

[@JtwasLuck]

@@MashITTech I was going to pre-order the Blade 16 or pick it up at microcenter but man I can't do the black color, the fingerprints would drive me crazy! I was hoping for a Studio Refresh with the RTX 6000 Ada GPU but that probably won't happen either. I also wish they still offered the glass panel (4K OLED), I just can't stand the plastic bezels but that's something I'm going to have to get used to. I'm just glad they finally increased the thickness, only thing holding back the Blade Series was the limited TDP+TGP, this time we get the best of both worlds. Speaking of which, the Dual Mini-LED panel is insane. 4K@120Hz with 1000 brightness AND 1080P@240Hz! If it has strobing, this could easily replace my desktop. Performance wise the 4090 should absolutely decimate the 3080TI Desktop I have currently. BTW, the video quality on your vid is absolutely amazing. I can't get over how detailed it is. Great overview and I simply can't wait for the full review!

[@MashITTech]

Thank you, that is very kind of you to say. Working on the full review at the moment and that should be out early next week, I do also plan on creating a video looking at the undervolting and overclocking as I think this is a feature that needs a video on its own! And have you considered getting a skin for it? Its a great way for stopping fingerprints whilst giving the laptop a unique look, I am putting one on mine soon

[@teddym2808]

Hi Dave, I just don't get why they punish EU Razer users with lack of secondary lighting. Even in AU we get it. It's definitely improved but it's still underperforming on CPU side vs other brands, by about 15 to 20% in Cinebench R23 as they are getting 31 and even over 32K in an Asus run. However, the Razer seems to be the only one that in AU at least, has a 500 nit HDR screen, secondary key lighting, Windows Hello cam or fingerprint sensor, and advanced optimus/G-sync. Those four things are non negotiable for me and believe it or not it's a nightmare to find this year. Asus misses out on secondary lighting on Strix range in all markets or is otherwise decent, Alienware has only 300 nit screens this year (ridiculous) or is otherwise decent, MSI is the ONLY brand not offering advanced optimus and g-sync this year (whereas it used to be common, now they have all come to the table and offered it, even Aorus), so that's a HARD pass. Their screen offer adaptive sync but you need to go through the Intel driver, it only works with direct X games and all they have to do is pay the bloody license fee to Nvidia to unlock the G-Sync front end for it (G-Sync laptop uses Vesa VRR spec but is way better as it works in windowed mode and with all Graphics API and also works in direct gpu mode). Acer Helios is an option but only goes to a 4080 and I REALLY want the 4090 as it has been proven to be neck and neck with a desktop 3090ti, but even better because of DLSS3 and frame generation. A 3090 desktop in a laptop is INSANE, I don't care what anyone says and all these complaints it's not as powerful as desktop 4090. Who cares? Anyway you of all people well know how I feel about Razer as a brand, I hate their service more than any other, but they really might be the only option this year (the 18 inch). If not I will stick with my 2021 Legion 7 for another year. By the way, Lenovo have removed windows hello in this year's Legion 7 and have gone from glass touch pad to plastic, ,as well as removed all but the front RGB strip. They have heavily cut costs everywhere so they are out of the running too. The Tongfeng based brands are improving this year, adding g-sync but only 300 nit panels also, so they are out. I am not going to go from a 2021 laptop and gaming in HDR and G-Sync and then go backwards to not using those features.

[@MashITTech]

Hey mate, god yes I remember the fun you have with the blade 14! I haven't even looked at Legions range last year, I am a bit annoyed at them ATM as they promised to send me review units then just went silent! I am now refusing to buy any more of their products in protest 😂

Nice job Dave!! Your reviews are always fun, insightful and very immaculate as usual!!

Right now, I wanted to save for the razer blade 2023 but the keyboard looks cramped as I have big hands and no numpad. So I just wanted to know if I should get one with an i9-10900k and rtx 2080 super will be good for gaming and if it can handle rtx from time to time. Thanks for your response and big love all the way from Nigeria. ❤

[@Che7u]

Do you recommend getting this or the razer blade 15 3080ti for $2,499? Need help deciding.

[@MashITTech]

I think the blade 16 is the better buy depending on the price difference. The blade 16 is much much more powerful on cpu and gpu, has better speakers, overclocking and undervolting ability and much better thermals but it is a lot more chunky

[@championsofodin9868]

How is the wrist rest and keyboard heat? Has that problem been fixed?

[@MashITTech]

So far it seems good but I have only games for hour long sessions. It got a little warm in the middle of the keyboard but not hot like the 15. Let me do a couple of marathon sessions and update you, I will use my laser reader to get accurate temps

I’m pretty sure it’s still a fair bit thinner and lighter than some of the others. Not to mention, there’s not really anyone else with a CNC aluminum chassis and speakers in place of numpad. I do see your point though. It’s less stand-out with the thicker chassis.

haha thanks mate. I am also looking forward to checking out the Alienware X16 if they ever release it in the UK and wish Dell would add mini LED to its line up

[@JontesTechTips]

Loved the video! Two things that saddens me about this laptop, they've made it a lot thicker and heavier. Yes you get better performance out of it because of it, but their previous models have been in a class of their own. Somewhere perfect between a full fledged gaming laptop and dell XPS 15-17/Lenovo Thinkpad x1 extreme, now its a lot closer to just being a gaming laptop. the other thing is that they have made it thicker but haven't put in a ethernet port... before i could understand, but now when it is as thick as a non-advanced blade 15 theres no excuse. A 2,5 or 10gbe would have been amazing, especially for a content creator who might have all their data on a NAS.

Great looking machine and love to see undervolting back in form. I'm actually a little disappointed Razer decided to go thick. Their thin form factor was always a consideration of why I bought their laptops in the first place. I hope they figure out ways to go thinner while maintaining power limits and temperatures.

[@anmol3457]

doubt that will happen. Even when they made their 'slim' laptops, the throttling was extreme. Cant' escape physics, I suppose. It was always a matter of what compromise razer was willing to make.

[@MashITTech]

I also doubt it, intel is using more and more power to push it speed. Personally I don't mind a little extra thickness so it doesn't throttle like crazy and have a hot keyboard like the previous 15 suffered from
