I have used one of these for a few months now. It is a excellent stand! Highly recommended.

[@MashITTech]

Glad you are enjoying yours. Although synapse has its faults, I love how well it all works together! And I love having a load of ports on the back of the stand, makes it a much cleaner set up

[@someonesgoat]

Your setup looks phenomenal - the laptop, keyboard and monitor together is stunning. Razer really have such a beautiful design in their product lineup.

[@MashITTech]

Thank you mate, I just love how well it all looks together! I used to have an alienware setup but I was never happy with the command centre.

[@Piketom1]

I can actually see this being extremely useful to lots of Mac users. With it, you don't have to worry about getting a USB-C or thunderbolt display to use with the MacBook. That would be extremely convenient and allow for the reuse of older displays that are still quite nice.

[@MashITTech]

yes, I often put my 16" MBP on here when I need to use OSX

[@CHITECHGUY]

I wish it had a network adapter on the base as well, that would be a complete dock/stand setup as their laptops don't come with the RJ45 connections.

Welcome back! Hope laptop season comes soon with a lot of content)

[@MashITTech]

Thanks mate, we have just moved to a much larger new office/studio hence the lack of content. We are fresh and rearing to go as soon as these new laptops release.

[@KGB-FSB]

Cant adjust height, fail!

[@bobbybeta3967]

I agree. I run 3 monitors w/ my laptop and tried the Razer to match my aesthetics, but It was not great other than the lights. I ended up getting a a 3M adjustable stand that beat the Razer Chroma stand by many many miles in functional department.

[@ÞäŘëďmïšť]

Not hard to adjust the height, unless you’re vertically challenged. #SkillIssue

[@june6039]

Could this theoretically fit an iPad Pro? It’s USB-C and I feel like the angle would be perfect for drawing, and the iPad could use the extra ports.

[@julianw9678]

Hello, I have a x17 r2, I am planning to buy one of these, do you know whether the stand will Block the fans of the laptop? Thanks MashIT

[@Deron8564]

I have a Razer Blade 18 and can confirm this stand holds the new laptop just fine.

[@MashITTech]

That's great to hear! Hope you are enjoying your new Blade 18? :)

[@Deron8564]

@@MashITTech so far so good, albeit the thing is overpriced, which all Razer products are. I did a quick field test of my Razer Blade 18 4090 recording with OBS at 80,000 kbps while playing WRC Generations, getting around 100 to 120 fps, with the web cam going, wireless headset and wireless controller also plugged in. A multitasking test. I uploaded it to YT.

[@MashITTech]

Yes, they are expensive but the raze tax doesn't seem as bad this year compared to similar gaming laptops. I have been really enjoying the 16 :)

[@epacholec]

I just used this on my blade 18 and it seems way to back heavy. The front of the laptop wants to lift up when adjusting the laptop. It seems a bit precarious on top of it. Maybe I'm not supposed to use the keyboard when it's on the stand.

[@Deron8564]

@@epacholec I use the keyboard on my Blade 18 on the stand. For the 17 and 18 inch Razer Blades you have to scoot the laptop forward a little so that the back rubber bar which is along the bottom of the laptop is butted up against the top of the stand. It's not like the 15 inch laptop where you align the bottom of the laptop flush with the bottom of the stand. With the larger laptops you pull it forward a little, about an inch. Makes it more stable. It doesn't move at all when I type on the blade 18 keyboard.

[@uziel317]

Great Review! Would this work the with new Razer Blade 18? Since it's only slightly bigger dimensionally. Thanks!

[@MashITTech]

Yes it does!

@@epacholec thanks for the heads up. I’d be pretty upset if I dropped $150 on stand and not have the laptop be stable.

@@uziel317 another commenter replied on a different comment if you slide it forward more it works. I was using it like a smaller laptop. Works pretty good now.

[@uziel317]

@@epacholec great thanks! I’ll give it a shot

[@kriso5]

Fun video, Dave! Can this bad boy fit an X17?

[@MashITTech]

Thank you mate. The x17 should fit without any problem but I will check where the vents line up on the stand when I get a sec (my x17 is still in a box as we gradually set up our new studio 😂

[@kriso5]

@@MashITTech great thanks - the setups lookin good!

[@gerasimoskardaras1319]

what about the cooling does it help?

[@ahsoka6807]

Dude i like the laptop stand. The razer sits so flat so it gives the screen a good lift. Is it good for gaming? Like if i just wanted to game using the laptop stand, Or do you find it uncomfortable?

[@MashITTech]

I regularly use it for gaming to allow airflow under it. It isn't uncomfortable but felt odd when I first used it, I adjusted within minutes and have gamed on it regularly since

[@Obvious_Furry]

Thank you for the review. Would the RGB continue to work if the stand itself was connected through a thunderbolt dock?

[@MashITTech]

Yes. By default it does the rgb spectrum and you can then change the scheme through synapse

[@LL-rg9ek]

I have the Razer Blade 16 2023, is 80 watts the maximum power the stand can provide? Just wondering if it’s enough to charge my laptop while gaming.

[@MashITTech]

yes 80w is the max as the other 20 is reserved for the stand and peripherals. t won't be enough to game and charge at the same time

[@LL-rg9ek]

@@MashITTech Thanks for the reply! Hope there will be some sort of model that supports greater power output, but great video as always!

[@SahilSharma-xh9jv]

Any recommendations for a stand for Alienware M18?

[@evilswagger970]

Hey bud Welcome back! Good to see you back. Well umm i wanted to know when the new Alienware series is gonna lauch? Any idea? Cuz there are many new laptops on the menu. Like Alienware X16, X14 and the new M series with Nvidia's latest 4090's and the latest i9 processors. Well i gave you the spoilers and really sorry for that. See you reviewing the laptops. Keep growing. God bless!

[@MashITTech]

hello mate and thank you, its good to be back! They are due to be released beginning of Feb but I am expecting a paper launch with probably shipping times 3-4 weeks later. My biggest dilemma is what to order for review first 😂 I will probably order a X16 and M18 on day one then get the x14r2 and m16 a couple of weeks later

[@TheTacticalNinjaTTN]

@@MashITTech A little off topic. How do you order so many laptops? I ordered a x15r1 and kind of always regretted it when x15r2 came out. I've now had my x15r1 for about 1 1/2 years.

[@MashITTech]

It can be tough at times with the price of laptops but we put most of the profit we make from KZbin back into buying new models. Once we have finished all content on a model it also gets sold to help find new laptops. It’s a constant juggle 😂

[@vic5373]

What power source do you recommend for the base? It does come with one correct?

[@MashITTech]

They don’t include one as it doesn’t necessarily need one as you can power it with a laptop. If you are using this with a gaming laptop like a blade 15 or 16 then don’t bother getting one but if you plan to use this with a usbc powered ultrabook then get a good quality 100w adapter like an anker or ugreen charger

[@NedimTabakovic]

Well I wanted to get Razer laptop stand for my model same as shown here, but more stable, wider laptop stands are making this one looking like a bad choice 😵

[@MashITTech]

it may not be that wide but my blade 16 and 17 sit really nicely on it, no stability issues at all

[@user-xr6dq8nb2g]

David, did this stand help to reduce the temperature?

[@MashITTech]

Hi, yes, as it allows much better airflow under the laptop. I have always elevated gaming laptops for this very reason. I did work out how big a drop a couple of years ago but I haven't recorded the results recently

[@reini6028]

Does it work on a Alienware X15r2 ?

[@MashITTech]

Yes it would 👍

[@brah-chan5470]

Does that hdmi input support a 240hz monitor & is it possible to double monitor it using this stand?

[@versify27]

im curious about this too, did you find an answer? 🤔

[@AdamGonzebra]

Hey mate I’m looking for a way to get a standing dock for my ipad. Do you think this can help out? I don’t know if the app settings are available for ipad os or macosx. By the way i loved the review! 👏 Thank you so much for your help!

[@MashITTech]

The ports should work fine and I will test it with my iPad Pro 12” later. Unfortunately synapse isn’t mac compatible so you won’t be able to use that to control the lighting but I believe someone has created an app to control the lights on mac, I will find it for you

[@AdamGonzebra]

@@MashITTech wow! Thank you so much for being so nice and caring about your viewers! I just subscribed to your channel and liked your video! I will definitely check it out too and i do want to buy the stand since i also got myself a MacBook Air 💻 so definitely want to try this beauty with the macbook and the ipad pro but I sincerely use more the ipad instead of the macbook cause its a different os.

[@MashITTech]

So, I tested the dock with my iPad Pro 12 and it sits well in both portrait or landscape. when you plug the USBC in the RGB lighting cycles slowly through the colour spectrum by default which look nice. In landscape mode the angle is great for drawing. I also plugged a keyboard and mouse in which worked perfectly :) hope this answers all your questions.

[@AdamGonzebra]

@@MashITTech thank you very much! I am extremely happy and thankful about this review! Because i bought the steel series headset via usb with rgb lighting arctis 6 and they didn’t work it said “device not supported” so i decided to move with Razer. I noticed razer has so much advantages and many more accessories for computers and ipads even haming consoles. So with this said it will work amazingly! Because i use the ipad so much for gaming, but mostly for video editing, drawing, mainly for school but mainly i use it as a computer more likely in the graphic design career or industry so thank you so much for this great help! 😁😁😁🙏🙏🙏

[@user-ip8dq2ix4q]

Dumb question- I have a razed blade 16 coming in Wednesday. Do you type on this?

[@MashITTech]

you can but you may find the angle a bit steep. I have gamed with it on the stand. Usually I use the stand with an external keyboard

[@user-ip8dq2ix4q]

thanks, by the way, youre under volting video is really good. I watched it twice, summarized it with ChatGPT and then created a set of instructions for myself so I don’t blow up my new computer lol

Can you game directly on the razerblade placed on the stand? Realised the stand is smaller than the laptop and I am worried that gaming directly might put downward pressure on the laptop.

[@MashITTech]

You can and I often do on my blade 14 and blade 15. What size blade have you got and I will test it
