Recharge your faith, Razer Blade Blade gaming notebook evaluation

The birth of this Razer notebook is to recharge your faith. Since it first appeared in people's eyes in 2012, Razer Blade has been at the forefront of portable gaming notebooks because it is not only cool and you can always put it in your briefcase. Carrying out the door (it's light enough) and playing high-effect games are not too stressful, and the QHD+ resolution screen looks absolutely beautiful.

In the iterative update of their home notebooks, Razer has made great efforts to personalize the appearance of the laptop, plus a super cool Chroma keyboard in the computer, allowing you to customize the backlight of the keyboard. With increased graphics memory and increased battery capacity, Razer also redesigned the cooling system and simplified the Windows system to make it less bloated. If this is not enough, Razer also reduced the price of this year's new models. The entry fee of 1999 US dollars (about 13,312 yuan) is still a short board in terms of endurance, but believe me, this gaming notebook is definitely a first-rate one. product.


Design

Razer cleverly kept the previous design elements of Blade. The sleek appearance of the fuselage, although it is already the fifth generation of products using this design, but every time I see it, I will be attracted by its appearance. . On the outer shell of the aluminum alloy, two straight lines fall straight down, and the green Razer Logo is embedded in it, and the Logo will glow. When the lights are on, my eyes can't move away from the line of sight and are deeply attracted by it. live.

Open Blade, you will see a large touchpad under the full-size keyboard, speakers on both sides of the keyboard, a circular button above the keyboard, which is the power button, a typical Razer family design. This is not an ordinary keyboard. Razer called it the “Chroma Keyboard”. The black body enhances the visual perception of the whole machine. It's hard to put it down.

This generation of Blade is lighter than its predecessors, while maintaining a slim size (13.6 x 9.3 x 0.7 inches) while weighing 4.25 pounds (about 1.58 kilograms) compared to its rival Alienware 15 (15.2 x 10.6 x 1.34 inches, weigh about 6.6 pounds and weigh about 2.46 kg. ) The Gigabyte Aorus X3 Plus v3 is a number of gaming laptops that can match the size of the Razer Blade, and its body size has reached 12.9 x 10.3 x 0.9 Inches, which weigh 4 pounds (about 1.49 kilograms), Blade has an advantage in body size.


Screen and configuration

The thin body is destined for Blade will not have too many expansion interfaces. On the left side of the fuselage, there are two USB 3.0 ports, a headphone jack, and a power connector. Take a look at the right side, a USB 3.0 interface, anti-theft keyhole, full-size HDMI interface and a Thunderbolt interface (the appearance is the same as USB Type-C). This Thunderbolt interface is used to access an external graphics card, the Razer Core, which can also be used to connect a 4K monitor when you are not using an external graphics card.

The Blade is equipped with a 14-inch touch screen with a resolution of 3200 x 1800. The color saturation is very high and the look is great. It is absolutely enjoyable to play games or watch movies. When I was watching 4K video, I could even see every nick on the train and rusty iron. When the screen was converted to an underwater scene, I was very surprised at the details of the aquatic plants on the screen. Playing "Sorcerer 3" on Blade's screen is an absolute enjoyment. Geralt's white hair, clothes, and details of the scene are very rich.

When we tested the gamut of this screen, its sRGB color saturation was 120%, while other similar products were generally 83%, Gigabyte's Plus v3 was 106.3%, and Alienware 15 was 97.5%. In terms of color accuracy, Blade performed equally well, with a Delta-E value of 0.95 and its competitors Alienware 15 and Plus v3 at 1.3 and 10.7, respectively. In the screen brightness test, Blade's maximum brightness was 338 nits, and the average value of similar products was 253 nits, which greatly surpassed them (Alienware 15 and Plus v3 were 311 nits and 203 nits, respectively). Although I don't want to leave any fingerprints on this screen, in my experience, the touch screen is very fast, and the response is very sensitive when sliding pictures or zooming in and out.

The speakers performed more generally. When I listened to Want Some More by Nicki Minaj, the sound was particularly loud, and when I was bass, it sounded like a sound under the water. This phenomenon was in me. Listening to Beyonce's "Formation" is even more prominent. But when I was playing the game, its speakers only played. When I was playing "Wizard 3", the voice was very clear and precise. When I cut the sword and the enemy, the sound effect was excellent. The sound of the sword sounded very sweet.


Keyboard and touchpad

I particularly like Blade's Chroma keyboard, which, like Razer's Ultra Stereth Blade Stealth, uses an independent backlit RGB keyboard, with a total of 16.8 million colors to choose from, and six light flash patterns (waves, spectra, Breathing, static, reaction and Ripple), absolute personalization, you can adjust your own unique lighting effects.

You can make light adjustments in Razer's Synapse (Rainbow), a companion program for Razer. You can also set different lighting modes. For example, you can play a game with a dedicated light or set up a keyboard for everyday work. Lights, these are similar to Alienware's Alien FX software.

Although the keyboard light is very cool, but to return to the essence, you still have to use it to type, although the keystroke is short (1.1 mm), but each button can still provide some feedback, the keyboard pressure grams of 58 grams In my typing test, the number of typing per minute is 60 words, and the error rate is only 1% (keyboard input test, please click here to over the wall ).

Synaptics offers a touch panel size of 4.1 x 2.5 inches. When I was browsing the web and selecting text, it responded quickly and accurately. The touchpad also has some gesture functions such as zooming in and out of the two fingers and rotating it. It is very easy to use, and there are two physical buttons below the touchpad. The feedback of the buttons and the click experience are all very good.

Best of all, the lighting effects you set up on Razer's Synapse (Thundercloud) can be stored in the cloud. When you use another Razer laptop, the light patterns you used to tamper with can be applied to other Razer computers. . At the same time, you can also use Razer's Synapse (Thundercloud) for various personalization settings for Razer Naga Epic Chroma mouse and Razer Black Widow Chroma keyboard.


Games and Graphics

Razer is usually very good performance in the game performance, equipped with a GeForce GTX970M GPU, 6GB of memory, memory is larger than similar products. This gave me almost no pressure when playing Super Special Effect "Wizard 3" (game settings: native 3200 x 1800 resolution, super special effects, average frame rate stable at around 57). Even if I use the sword to quickly slash to the enemy in the game, the frame rate is still very stable. When I adjust the picture quality to a high effect, the frame rate can jump to 62, and the frame rate in the medium special effects is higher, and it stays at 71 frames.

When I tested “Rainbow Six: Siege”, the frame rate under 1080P quality was around 63 (this test frame rate was 57 for similar notebooks). When I increased the effect a little further, the frame rate dropped to about 44. This achievement is still outstanding (the same notebook has a test frame rate of 37).

In the next “Metro: Return” game test, Blade continued to perform outstandingly. The frame rate under 1080P quality was around 102 (this test frame rate was 68 for similar notebooks), Gigabyte Plus v3 (again, GeForce GTX970M, 6GB video memory followed by a frame rate of 99, Alienware 15 (GeForce GTX970M, 3GB video memory) has a frame rate of only 66. But when we turned the game effects high, the Blade was a little bit off, the frame rate was 28, and Plus v3 and Alienware 15 had only 29 and 27 frame rates.


performance

Blade is an absolute performance monster in terms of productivity, 2.6GHz Intel Core i7-6700HQ processor, 16GB DDR4 memory, which makes me open a bunch of office software while watching HD video without any pressure.

In the Geekbench 3 test, Blade scored a staggering 13268 points, while the average score of this test notebook is only 6465, Gigabyte Plus v3 (2.5GHz Intel Core i7-4710HQ) score is 12863, and the performance is also good, and Alienware 15 (2.9GHz The performance of the Intel Core i5-4210) was a bit worse, achieving only 6321 points.

Blade is equipped with a 256GB PCIe SSD. It takes only 14 seconds to write a 4.97GB multimedia file, which translates to a write speed of 359MB/s. Its performance is only 121.4MB/S, Alienware 15 (128GB M.2 SSD; 1TB The 5400-rpm HDD) is only 103.9MB/s, and even Gigabyte's Plus v3 (256GB MSATA SSD) cannot match it, and the write speed is 299MB/s.

Look at a set of performance tests

In the following test, the red font is Razer Blade, and the black bars at the bottom are the average values ​​tested for similar products.

(The higher the test value of Geekbench 3, the better)


fever

In general, notebooks perform very coolly, because they generally have less space for heat dissipation. In contrast, Blade, Razer redesigned their cooling system. Now they are equipped with a brand-new fan and heat pipe, Blade will flow from the fuselage. Inhale sideways, and then draw heat away from the hinges at the back of the fuselage, and your hands will barely touch the thermal interface. When we played a 15-minute video on Hulu (video site), the temperature of the touchpad and the G and H keys was around 82°C to 89°C, but the temperature at the bottom of the fuselage reached 97°C, which was a little hot .


camera

Blade's camera is 2 million pixels, and it's not a big problem to take photos and videos. I shot a photo at 1080P resolution and it's of a similar quality, but considering the role of this camera is only for video chat. So its performance can also satisfy me. I believe no one will use a computer camera to shoot on the street.

Battery life

Razer official claimed that Blade's battery life can reach 5 hours. In our test, Blade kept it off for 5 hours and 42 minutes (web browsing test under WiFi), which is shorter than the 8-hour battery life of similar products. what! However, it is still better than Gigabyte's Plus v3 (5 hours and 38 minutes of battery life). The Alienware 15 performed fairly well, with a battery life of 6 hours and 12 minutes.


software

In addition to Razer's Synapse, Razer comes pre-installed with software suites specially designed for gamers, such as Razer Comms, which allows you to communicate with your friends while playing games, and Razer Cortex, which unleashes your computer's potential with this tool. , increase the number of game frames, reduce the game loading time and so on.

The Razer Blade is priced at US$1999 (about 13,312 yuan). It is equipped with a 2.6GHz Intel Core i7-6700HQ processor (with built-in Intel HD Graphics 530 integrated display), 16GB RAM, 256GB PCIe SSD, GeForce GTX970M. GPU (with 6GB video memory). The model of US$2199 (about RMB14,647) is similar to the above parameters, except that the storage space has been increased from 256GB to 512GB.


to sum up

As it is called a penny-a-delivery item, Razer Blade is one of the best portable game titles on the market. With a 1999 US$ entry fee, you can buy a 17-inch notebook. And it comes with an i7 processor and a 6GB GPU. Whether you want to play games or work on the go, it's very easy to handle. In addition to the beautiful QHD+ screen, you have cool, super personalized Chroma keyboard, high value!

If you do not have enough budget, you can consider Alienware 15 or Alienware 13 OLED for $1,500 (about RMB 9991), but in this case you won't get the Blade's slim body and strong performance. In general, for gaming enthusiasts, Razer Blade is a good choice, portable, and worthy of the apple.
