Thanks, and welcome!

You put an amazing amount of work into this review. Very impressive. Thank you!

I've upgraded from the original 14" Blade to the 3060 model. Didn't really see the value in price/performance in the other models, but I love how all the good stuff remained the same, and everything else just improved a lot.

Bro I've been watching your videos since 2018, and back then you only have like 60K subs lol. Great to see you again!

Hey Jarrod, thanks so much for the comprehensive and detailed breakdown. I'm expecting mine next week (3070 model) and I have question about external monitor use: If you use an external monitor, would you recommend running the laptop opened or closed? If the laptop is open, I would assume thermals would be slightly better, as the heat has more space to dissipate. However, I'm not sure if running both the internal and external displays will degrade performance? At the same time, running the laptop connected to a monitor and closed, could increase thermals?

Very well-made and comprehensive review as always, Jarrod. It won't be long before you reach the 500k sub milestone.

Thank you for the detailed review Jarrod. Hope you're well.

out of all reviewers, I think your reviews are the most thorough. some other youtube reviewers have fancy lightning, some very graphic footage, but they do not cover all the possible details as in your reviews.

Received mine today and it's pretty amazing so far. My only "complaint" so far are the thermals. Not the cpu and gpu temps, but the chassis temperature. The cpu and gpu temps are actually fine, about 80-90 for the cpu and under 80 for the gpu. But because the chassis conducts heat very well, you can really feel that heat under your fingers.

Any way to improve thermals? You think a repasted with kryonaut would help?

Detailed and concise. Great review

I'm so glad to see the vents not be blocked here. And also the vents placed directly below the fans. Unlike certain companies on some of their models... *cough msi gf65 thin and most asus laptops

Thanks for the review. Wholly smokes…Just received this notebook with QHD and 3070, I previously owned a Razer blade 17 pro (2060 FHD 144hz) and sold it after one interstate trip. I do miss the larger display but it was way too heavy to carry around. I fired up escape from tarkov, pubg, cod, bf5, balders gate 3, arma 3, it breezed through them, to my surprise, it performed so well, smooth gameplay all well above 60 fps, no lag and noise level is surprisingly quiet under load. The 1440P IPS 165hz is top notch, much better quality than my previous Razer laptops which suffered from terrible backlight bleed. sure it doesn’t have perfect black but the picture quality is sharp with vibrant colours, not to mention great response time. For comparison, I think it is even more responsive than my LG CX OLED 4K display which I use with my main PC rig which is running an AIO 6800XT. Anyways, this thing is worth considering if minimum weight and size are your primary requirements and you need the horsepower for demanding games without the hideous gamer / cheap looking design/

Considering how close this 3080 was to other laptops with 3070 I would love to see you benchmark a 3070 Blade 14 to see if there is really any price/performance point at all at going with an relatively underpowered 3080. Perhaps others can chime in with features that the 3080 supports that aren't just pure frame rate related.

Hey, great review! Can you tell us ways in which we can check which ram does my laptop has- the slower one(like in legion 5 pro) or the faster one( like legion 7). I have the Asus Scar 15 btw.

I agree. The rubber feet even for the Blade 15 model isn't grippy at all. With the way I use it often, it always slid down compared to my XPS 17 which stayed put.

What do you think about the 3070 and 3060 models?

Can’t wait to see a version with 15 inche, 16:10 aspect ratio and a better webcam, with AMD of course hihi 😍

Thank you. I feel much more informed, because I listen to your details. 13:42 & 14:17

Hey man! I recently checked your website and the list of laptops & their battery life helped me a LOT ! Thanks a lot for taking efforts and making that available😁……… Just a small request, could you please test the Dell g15 ryzen edition for battery life and add it to the list too ? That would help me a lot deciding whether to buy it or not……If possible, can you make an in depth review on the same laptop ???? (BTW, Love your content….hope you get more subs and viewers soon, PEACE✌️)

Jarrod, your videos are simply fantastic. Well done.

Thank you so much for your linux tests, its is very much appreciated

Nice review. Do you plan to review the newer intel gen11 Blade 15?

Hey Jarrod, if connecting to an external monitor, would there be an airflow/ cooling advantage to sitting the laptop upside down?

I know you had mentioned in previous comments that you were primarily focusing on gaming laptops first and foremost, so I may well be answering my own question. But I would love to see you cover the new gen 4 thinkpad p1 coming later this summer. I’m curious to see what wattage 3080 they’ll use, how the thermals will be for gaming, and how it stacks up compared to other strictly gaming oriented laptops. Not sure what the screen and refresh rate options will be (looks like 16:10 UHD or QHD but no refresh rates yet). It would be the dream setup if it could hold its own as a gaming laptop and a decent workstation for my engineering course work. I wish more gaming laptops could have that understated/professional look. It’s only a matter of time until I give one of my professors a seizure from all the rgb spamming on my Alienware laptop boot up

You are the ONLY reviewer reporting screen response times. Thank you!

Hey Jarrod, so between the 2022 Razer Blade RTX 3070Ti vs 2021 Razer Blade RTX 3080 if both were similarly priced which would you recommend as best bang per buck? Cheers!

I just bought one, it comes Wednesday. The original razer 14 the perfect size and the fact that there is a 3070 is in this is a game changer

when could you do a review of the legion slim 7? I've seen it available on different websites but I've barely seen any content or reviews about it.

Could you please do the S17 gx703 i want to know the temps performance and battery life i am leaning towards alienware x15 or Asus Rog s17 gx 703

Do you think the 1080p display has ghosting, I really want to pull the trigger on it but everyone seems to be reviewing the qhd display.

I have a Blade 15 QHD with 10875h + 3080. Seems like this setup is having the same performance with the following deltas: 1 hour or so more of battery No g-sync on the 14 No thunderbolt on the 14 Is there anything else I have missed?

good review and excellent time stamp

I have a question why you says the zephyrus g14 lasts only 7 hours and some other reviews clains 10 hours ? Did you tried to reduce the processor to lower wattage ?

Will there be reviews for the 2021 versions of the non-Pro Legion 5 and the TUF A15 (which claims 10% better airflow)???

My focus kind of shifted to amon amarth and made me subscribe to your channel

But do you have any concerns regarding the thermals? Razers are notorious for getting their batteries bloated and many claim the lack of heat-isolation works in this regards. there are some +90 temps with 21 degress ambient. I'm really concerned for that the system will throttle a lot when it's hotter in the summer and for the reliability of the device. Nice review!

I want to see a video where you compare the performance and differences between different desktop 3080 vs laptop version 3080. Is it really OK to call the portable 3080 the same as the desktop version?

13:44 I see it has "2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C and Display Port 1.4". Does this mean I could connect 2 monitors using USB to DP dongles and one more via HDMI?

Looks nice, but how long will it last before the battery fails prematurely like every Razer Blade?

Hey jarrod, are razer sending you the new razer blade 15 advanced with 11th gen Intel cpus?

Can you recommend a laptop, mainly used for shows, light gaming and light work that's fairly new but doesn't cost an arm/leg. I have a pc but I would like a laptop to take a break from my chair and for travel

Wait for the omen 16 or buy the Strix g15?

I just find the marketing so disingenuous. Made to deceive. Using the "name" to get folks to buy them. Most people aren't as smart as you or your viewers, so when they hear "RTX 3080" for instance, they think they are getting the latest desktop like performance. And the wattage of the laptop versions varies so much, yet it is like pulling teeth without anesthetic to figure out which one it is. Are you getting the full (laughs in desktop) 150w variant, or the low end 80w one? This is not a dig at you, Jarrod. You are the best laptop reviewer on the net. In fact, I am glad you are here helping folks, giving them thorough and unbiased reviews on products. I rate your integrity right up there with Steve²! (Tech Jesus and Monitor Steve)

Can you game on it while using the USB C port for power with a 100w gan charger?

How does this channel not have 1 million subscribers yet?

I got exactly same ram in Legion 5 pro ... Wonder if upgrade to better ram will improve something .

Sooo would you recommend this or Asus M16.

So can the fans turn completely off and in which scenario?

More great advice from Jarrod!

@jarrod No "negative points" for a missing MUX Switch ?

can you do a comparison between this laptop with the Zephyrus G14 both with the RTX 3060? :3

Will you be reviewing the new Intel 11th Gen Razer Blade 15 Advanced? I would love it if you can.

Hey jarrod would laptop with gtx 1650 ti still fine for mid 2021?

So you can connect up to 3 displays at the same time? 1 HDMI, and 2 DP via Type-C, or one of the Type-Cs lose the DP when one of them are already utilized?

razer blade 14 vs razer blade 15 2021? which one to pick?

The case design is better and I like that the default color is black, not silver. However, the decision not to go with the 5900HS is puzzling. 35 watt chips make so much more sense for portable laptops. I keep waiting for one that can run decently on USBC (so under 100 watts). I think the g15 can do it in silent mode. The ultimate travel/plane laptop will have to wait for next gen it appears.

Get the zephyrus. Razer's aren't reliable and their customer support is garbage. You'll be left with a $3k brick after a year, maybe less.

I think Razer really messed that up. Soldered memory stick and now only one storage slot. People will be forced to upgrade to something like a Sabrent Rocket Q 8TB NVMe SSD and have to reinstall all the drivers and software and create a new image recovery because the factory recovery will be wiped clean. They shouldn't have to be so cheap on the storage... :/ And 16 GB is not enough... As for the design, I think they cheaped out on that too for what it costs. The Project Valerie was the perfect route they could take - even with just one monitor.
