Hey everyone,
I just did a hands on event with Razer at CES 2019. I was able to get my hands on with the new Blade 15 with the RTX 2080. Here is my video if it. Feel free to ask me anything. I’ll try to check this periodically, though I am busy making videos of other laptops as well.
My videos on the new Blade 15. Hands on here testing out Battlefield V with RTX on:
Thorough overview of the new Blade 15’s new specs and options before I could get hands on:
-
Did you happen to ask them about thermal design? i.e is it the same, what's different, and also when will these hit the market
-
how are the temperatures and fan noise during load? did they allow you to measure the temps?
-
PS: always like your Videos, keep on!Last edited: Jan 9, 2019 -
I can tell you the bottom of the laptop was very warm when I picked it up for the thumbnail shot.

Maybe only gun shots reflection on vehicles.

Is it sad I'm more excited for the secondary functions being backlit and windows hello? Lol. I'm all for practicality and feature comforts.

That right FN key is the devil. -

Oh no. Man that has to be annoying then. Knowing them their not gonna change it for awhile. It took them what two- three years to add function key lighting back? I'd actually love to sit down with whoever is in charge of designing these laptops and ask them why they do such ass backwards things like that. -
No it's all about those comfort which some manufacturers don't seem to get
Love how MSI laptops only light up the relevant keys when you press the function key, even having volume up down on the arrow keys is nicer than the F keys... at least when you don't have a function lock key like Dell XPS
Idk how the new blade is but bringing back backit secondary characters and adding windows hello is very good, wish it had fingerprint though and that right Fn key is weird lolArondel likes this. -
They have actually removed the IR Cam from the XPS 9380 and added fingerprint (they couldn't fit the IR cam at the top bezel) and that alone would mean I will never purchase it. -
I'd rather they'd have moved the screen down more and have a slightly bigger bezel than no IR cam. Wonder how the quality is now that they specifically tout software denoising or whatever as a feature now... -
I think people have an unhealthy level of paranoia when it comes to cam's/mic. People see like an ex-FBI Director or other high profile people do it and think they should follow - the reason they do it is that they are potential high value targets of very sophisticated attacks (even a spy potentially gaining hardware access to their laptops to infect it). Us commoners have very little to worry about.

I have a webcam and microphone for comms purposes, my current laptop has the cam and mic right where the fans exhaust rendering the microphone useless if I'm in a steam call while gaming or anything that's not idle. It just seems like unnecessary hardware tbh never mind cost for something I'll never use. Privacy isn't the only reason
Razer Blade 15 with RTX 2080, I just did a hands on... AMA
