RIP to anyone who bought the 2023 version with the regular IPS panel. Just had to wait a year. Lol Your pain is felt across the globe.
That's how I feel like waiting for Asus rog zephyrus duo 16 I wanted to buy the 15 so bad but I'm happy I waited for all the kinks to get worked out an the new mini led display
😂
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
isnt the mini led version for the higher spec'd versions only ?
why does this channel not have more subs
Getting there slowly. The algorithm is still discovering me 😀
The algorithm is ruthless mahn😆
He hasn't had his Kat Williams moment yet 😂
It's getting there, no worries.
@@consumertechwarehouse9381 Your channel is worth it, keep grinding man I always enjoy your reviews.
well that 2k dimming zones panel is the true MINILED, for now at least
YESSSS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS TYSM
Thank you for taking the time to make this a wonderful review. I really appreciate it! I wanted to let you know that I'm a big fan of your videos and I always make sure to watch them. Your content is so enjoyable and informative. I'm currently in the market for a new laptop and I'm considering either the Razer 16 or the G16. I was wondering if you had any personal experiences or recommendations that could help me make a decision. I would greatly appreciate any insight you could provide. Thank you again for your helpful reviews and videos!
Been waiting for this since the reddit post. That screen is crazy.
Yeah it is. I don’t know if I’m going to do another video on the blade 18 so I wanted to get everything in there. So it took longer than I wanted it to initially.
@consumertechwarehouse9381 how's the blooming? I can afford to only get 1 so I'm stuck between the blade 16 oled and the qhd blade 18
@PBA8 blooming is minimal. I can’t really see any. I added some text about it in the display section but it may be easy to gloss over
@@consumertechwarehouse9381 what about a faint grid where the led might be placed behind the screen? I own a 85in samsung 8k TV and I can see a grid. A bit disappointing for me.
Can you compare blade 18 with the blade 16 oled and the scar 18?
Thanks for sharing. Besides, where is the display from, AUO or BOE?
What kind of coding is GLOSSY or MATTE ? Currently, I’m using last generation screen coding is the same ?
What about the battery life?
Are you going to keep it as your main driver or use another laptop?
This is a well made video, I can tell you made it on your Blade. Take my like. 👍
Thanks for the link from Reddit btw.
mn this is such a top-notch tech review!! video and sound quality are high up there for a channel this small and i hope you get the reach you deserve! i've been looking around the new razer blades' review and i'd say this comes up in my top 3 i've watched including from big reviewers!!! im definitely subscribing. GREAT JOB!
ill do better when the games and audios perform linearly w specs/devices used, many things on progress but yeah took time and all, just show what weve been working on
Thanks. Appreciate it.
Can you charge the laptop via USB-C? My Blade 16 (2023) only charged like 3 times out of 50 that I tried.
@consumertechwarehouse9381 I have the exact same 2024 Blade 18" used in the review. When I check the multi-zone option (which is off by default) I get a much darker image with poor contrast. Whites also become grey and there is a lot of blooming. Are you seeing the same thing when clicking on this option? I'm pretty sure you did not have this option selected for the review which means you were using single zone IPS. The mini-led option seems broken on this screen.
Can you PLEASE do a 2023 vs 2024 Blade 18 speaker comparison as well as the rog g16 and macbook pro 16 with a few different types of song genres? Thank you so much!
wanted to know the different blade 18 2023 vs 2024 too
@@huashao9737yeah we even asked in his own reddit post and he didn't even bother acknowledging
Thanks!
The 4k & mini led are price the same, just in separate colors. (Which is Mercury one) It’s only 3 configurations for the 4090. (Black- mini led , mercury- 4k & black- 4k 4800$)So, the extra 300 dollars is only for the 2tb SSD & ram, which you can buy yourself. So, the mini led got to be on par with the 4k, if not razer definitely would priced it more
I got over 18k CPU score stock with Time Spy everytime on Legion 9i Gen 9, on two units (performance mode)
What’s the temperature where you live? It’s almost 90 degrees F here and I keep the AC at like 74.
Who is the display panel manufacturer?
Razer blade 18, asus scar 18 or asus strix g18 Is better?
Try to compare these hot slates with king of the market, Apple silicon laptops possibly m3 max. Specially without plugged in.
Do a vs with scar 18
It will be awesome if you can make HDR video and show how it looks like on the camera
When will the comparison between the blade 18 and the titan 18 come out?
Mid next week. Didn’t realize so many people will be asking for this.
Numerical keypad plox, or no game.
you forget the 5 mp camera test pls upload i wait for your vids
What was the G16 you kept mentioning ?
The ROG G16. kzhead.info/sun/iaaOlbeHpXyiqaM/bejne.htmlsi=Sl2zYSmiv0b2sHUZ
Sold out in 1 minute. I put it in my basket and then instantly sold out
What about palm rest temperature while Load?
Stays close to room temperature unless the system is choked like when it’s on your lap and you’re gaming
Is the screen glossy like the Blade 16 OLED? Or is it matte?
Screen is matte. But it’s not too bad to where it starts to diminish image quality
@@consumertechwarehouse9381 Thanks for the reply. I prefer glossy not because of the image quality, but because it's easier to wipe off the dust :D Matte is just plastic.
Is it possible to undervolt CPU? (Synapse / ThrottleStop?)
I didn’t check yet. But you can overclock in synapse so I would assume. I usually only undervolt my personal laptops and never for for reviews. I made a decision a while back to only use factory settings and what’s available to me on the software. So for the razer all of my tests were done with an overclock to the CPU since it’s one click in synapse but I don’t think it did an undervolt
are the speakers better? or the same compared to last years great speakers?
I honestly can’t tell unless I had them side by side. Maybe they’re louder and the soundstage is wider. But it’s minor if at all.
Hell you have Thunderbolt 5, test egpu, I think that's the main question a lot of people are asking after thunderbolt 5 was announced
Do we know whether the 4K 200 Hz version is Miniled or IPS?
Regular IPS and advertised at 400 nits
@@consumertechwarehouse9381 Oof, that's disappointing. I prefer 4K because you can set it to 1080p (which is enough for me) for more frames without getting blurry image (integer scaling) but I also don't want to use crappy IPS with bleeding backlight.
@@Mido_ yeah you’re right. 1080p is just 4 4k pixels. Yeah it’s a shame. But I’m getting way more than enough frames at qhd with this hardware. Maybe consider the titan. But then you only get 120hz and no gsync
@@consumertechwarehouse9381 I think I will just wait for 2025. I think that with new GPUs and CPUs companies will favor 4K more over QHD in their high end laptops.
Is it supposed to be the blade 18 listed at 12:24?!
I messed up. I forgot to add it. Score is 12103. Next video I do will include it. Sorry about that.
I really want this laptop lol. But it's crazy expensive
Is it just me that saw more than 10 Microsoft edge icons on the desktop at 3:20?
Yeah. I gotta clean my desktop. I don’t even know what half that stuff is anymore.
Is razer 18 the slimmest 18 inch out there rn?
Yes it is.
@@consumertechwarehouse9381 I'm waiting 2 years till it gets under 2k, these tech depreciate really quick
Почему экран матовый?
Love the reviews keep up the good work. Side note the Titan is loosing because of the ram speeds vs razers. With some effort u can make 32gbs of ram run at 5600 on the Titan where as the Razer already at 5600. Don't sell it lol. If ur willing to adjust ram speeds hit me up
Thanks. Yeah I keep forgetting about the ram. I kind of wish there was just a 64gb 5600 option instead. I’ll try switching it out and see how much difference it makes.
@@consumertechwarehouse9381You have to go into the advanced bios when u do that and fiddle with settings it's really annoying but you will get same if not slightly better on the msi titan. Don't get me wrong they both are great and your review is going to make me pick one up soon. Keep up the work!

titan 5600 mhz ram, How can we get it to this speed?
Razer 🔥 📛
The best tactic is to just wait and wait and wait that way you're save money and see things get better...but if u wait some more you'll save some money and things will get better...but...if you wait some more...
Compare msi Titan 18 hx and Razer BLADE 18 2024
Yep that’s next. And adding in the new scar
I thought TB5 comes with intel 15th gen
They may be standard when 15th gen comes out. But razer implemented it into the rb18. That’s the main reason it was delayed sources say.
You're lucky to get your hands on this. It's sold out every place.
It’s still available in razer website it seems
What did you mean with 240hz , like least refresh rate?, when you said limited to dgpu. Only in games or in games nd watching movies and like everything. No way to minimize and if 1 dislikes do you recommend to choose the 4k
I’m guessing the intel chip can’t handle qhd 300hz so it limits it to 240hz in optimus. It support advanced optimus so the moment a game starts, you’ll be in 300hz or you can leave it in dedicated mode to keep it at 300hz. You can change the settings in Display Options in nvidia control panel.
Me thoroughly researching a product I definitely don't have the money to buy💀
I using Asus ROG Strix G16 (2024) i9 14900HX + RTX 4070.. my score for TIME SPY for CPU is 19K++ If can I want to show prove. But when I watch online why other i9 get score under 19K 😅
And my RTX 4070 get score around 13K (time spy)
Yeah. I gotta get that laptop in to see how it scores where I live. Temps are naturally higher here because of the heat and humidity.
You’re a sociopath for using Edge as your default. 😂
lol!! It’s all chromium based now and I don’t mind it.
Yeah but Bing, gross. And even if you change it, it finds a way to steer you back to it.
Two days ago, there was a flash deal discount of Blade 16 version. It might be a sign that new Blade 16 with Thunderbolt 5 might be coming soon...
I saw a video about Intel 13th/14th Gen CPUs being returned.. Does that apply to the laptop version too? kzhead.infoWJcSOAcOCno
Since when is 95-100 degree celsius normal? 😂 😂😂
Since cyberpunk did that big update. It uses the CPU much more now. I’m getting 90s in every single laptop I’ve tested.
You are forget test thunderbolt 5 in razer core x chroma
Could you please review the MSI vector 16hx i9 14900hx rtx 4080 or 4090 Nobody reviews the vectors. Why is that? And nobody reviews the MSI Raider either? What's up? Has MSI become the red headed step child of gaming laptops?
Haha. I love MSI. My laptop is the titan. But MSI laptops don’t get as much views and since I have to buy all my laptops, I have to make constant budgeting decisions. If MSI would start sending out review samples I would love to.
It will develop a spicy pillow about 2 weeks after the warranty expires... good luck.
16 OLED is the better
MiniLED wins with brightness, insane contrast. Best of both worlds really
OLED brightness is terrible, mini led all the way. Micro led is the future
Horrible tech reviewer. Just stop.
Don't watch him
sheeeesh btw guys should I choose it? ppl say its a bit overprices for 3500$
Overprice it's a word that can't describe the 3500$. I prefer Dream Machines Display: 17.3” QHD (2560x1440) WVA/DCI P3 240Hz GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX4090 16GB CPU: i9-14900HX RAM: 16GB DDR5 4800Mhz, 16GB DDR5 4800Mhz M.2: 1TB M.2 SSD PCIe Model RX4090-17NA31 Price 3089 $. 400$ less
the new m16 suck
