Hi, welcome back, I’m a donkey. In the Windows laptop camp, there are many cool and super handsome machines to choose from. But when it comes to the two keywords of quality and gaming , I believe that your answer and mine will definitely come up with those two words. That is Razer. Look at this square black metal body . Look at this healing dot matrix speaker opening. Look at this super-large touchpad with full PerKey RGB. Look at this almost full-size 16-inch Mini LED screen. You Who wouldn’t love such a Razer laptop with perfect quality and cleanliness? But behind the luxurious materials comes a very domineering price. This year’s Razer Blade 16 RTX 4090 version has an asking price of nearly 150,006. The version of RTX 4080 falls at 139,000, while the version of RTX 4070 is about 120,000, but the material used is also the top CPU. The Intel Core i9-13950HX is used this year. The processor at the end of HX is seen . This processor is definitely not simple . It may be stronger than most people’s desktops. The screen is nothing to say. It uses the Mini LED screen supplied by AU Optronics. The peak brightness is 1000 nits and it has 1000 light control zones. Seeing this is already very top. What's more, this screen is the world's first dual-mode Mini LED display. It can be freely switched between 4K 120Hz and FHD 240Hz. Whether you want 4K high resolution and high refresh rate or you want 240Hz ultra-high refresh rate, you can switch to FHD. Alright, let’s talk about the key points first. In short , this year’s Razer Blade 16 is really worth testing. How is the actual performance? Let’s talk about it in detail . At the beginning, everyone has seen the details. I will only focus on the I/O jack. On the right side of the Razer Blade 16, there is an HDMI 2.1 jack. The actual test can achieve 4K@144Hz and 8K@60Hz picture output , followed by a USB A A USB C port that supports Thunderbolt 4 supports up to 100W PD charging at the same time . The measured 65W charger can reach up to 60W fast charging, and the 100W charger can reach a speed of 90W. Therefore, it is more convenient to have PD charging when going out. A small size PD charger is OK . No need to bring a large size transformer. Then I was surprised that the Razer Blade 16 actually gave an SD card reader. Having a built-in card reader is really good news for the creator. Give me a good review. Then see the left side There is a power port, two USB A ports and one USB C port. The C port also supports PD charging, and the materials are not saved. Finally, there is a 3.5mm audio port, so the Razer Blade 16 has enough ports for 3 USB A ports. The two C-hole HDMI 2.1 card readers are sincere , but there is no built-in RJ45 , and the weight of the Razer Blade 16 is about 2.5 kg. After adding the charger, it is about 3.2 kg. It is relatively light among performance notebooks. The machine is right. Razer’s transformer adopts the GaN solution, so you can clearly feel that this 280W transformer is a bit smaller than other brands. I would like to use the GaN solution to give a good review. The design of the D side is simple and neat . It is worth mentioning that the Razer Blade 16’s fan air intake openings are horizontal grids with relatively large intervals. The advantage of the design is that the openings are large enough for smooth air intake . Relatively, everyone should be careful not to press directly into the opening , otherwise the dust filter can directly touch the fan body. Then we will see one of the highlights of this machine, that is, the screen cover on the B side can be opened and closed with one hand. This year’s Razer Blade 16 The most special feature is that the dual-mode Mini LED backlight screen adopts the AUO AmLED solution. Through the Razer Synapse control interface, you can switch between 4K 120Hz and FHD 240Hz native display modes. When switching, you need to restart and switch the display module. One screen can achieve native 4K high resolution with 120Hz high screen refresh rate and FHD 240Hz. Two native options can meet the needs of creators. RTX 40 series graphics card can also use this 4K Mini LED with good performance Enjoy the exquisite scenes of various masterpieces on the screen , and if you want to pursue high update rate to play FPS, that is, shooting games such as CS: GO, APEX, PUBG, etc., then FHD 240Hz can also let you show your talents and in Windows settings, 120Hz Next, you can choose 60/120Hz auto-adjustment. Under 240Hz , you can choose 120Hz/240Hz auto-adjustment setting to achieve power saving. Then the question arises , why not directly enable 4K 240Hz specifications? Of course, it is the limitation of the control module. Secondly, it is more difficult to adjust the light control of Mini LED. The most important thing is that everyone’s budget should be limited. As a whole, the current dual-mode is a relatively more balanced option. One screen can meet the needs of creation and different types of games. It is also very fragrant. This screen is equipped with Mini LED backlight technology. Compared with most LCD screen laptops in the past The backlight on the back can only be turned on fixedly, and there is no way to achieve high contrast. The most advantage of the Mini LED is that its LED array can be independently controlled and switched on and off. Watching the animation, it is very clear that only the display area of the Mini LED will be lit. When the screen is black , you can completely turn off the lamp beads to achieve high contrast. Razer is directly marking 1,000,000:1. In fact, turning off the lamp beads means almost infinite contrast. In addition, the biggest advantage of Mini LED is the brightness performance. Let’s review the current laptop. As far as the screen is concerned, the traditional LCD is about 500-600 nits, OLED is 600-700 nits, and this Mini LED Razer’s standard is 1000 nits of peak brightness , but we can’t just listen to Razer’s saying that our own measurements are more accurate . The measured Razer Blade 16 can reach 1180 nits under the HDR full white screen, and the peak brightness can reach more than 1200 nits. Therefore, Razer’s standard of 1000 nits is not false. Here, we also provide halo performance as usual . Refer to our side to measure the color gamut and color accuracy in detail. Razer Blade 16’s color gamut coverage reaches 100% sRGB, 91% Adobe RGB and 100% DCI-P3 color gamut performance. Is the key point of meeting the standard or the color accuracy because Razer does not There is no option for color gamut adjustment, and naturally there is no corresponding color profile or color gamut limit We can only test the average Delta E value of 1.31 in the preset mode. We hope that it is less than 2, so this performance is up to the standard. However, we also found that Blade 16 corresponds to the Optimus and the direct connection mode of the independent graphics card respectively. For the two sets of color profiles, select Blade as the profile under Optimus. At this time, the CCT falls at about 6400K, and the Delta E will be accurate to 1.31. However, under the sRGB color gamut, the Blade profile will also provide the corresponding color gamut mapping, but the sRGB is not. The side measurement shows that there is a slight overflow , and the screen will be warmer under the direct connection mode of the independent display. The reason is that Razer did not add a color profile in the direct connection mode of the independent display. At this time, the CCT is about 5900K, and the Delta E is about 5900K. 8.5 , so if you are looking for color accuracy, remember to choose the Optimus mode and choose the Blade color profile file, which will be better for HDR. Bonnie also directly tested it on Netflix. It can successfully turn on HDR and Dolby Atmos. Finally, Razer Blade 16 also adopted a 16:10 screen this year, whether it is for documents or work. The larger display area of 16:10 is more practical, so it can be squeezed into a 16-inch screen in the previous 15.6-inch body size. This kind of operation is highly praised. The top also has a video camera that supports Windows Hello face recognition. It can also be unlocked in low light. It also has a physical lens slide cover for physical security and anti-sneak shooting. Finally, we can see the keyboard on the C side. The Razer Blade 16 adopts the classic PerKey RGB design . The RGB keys are very full and bright enough , but what I want to talk about in particular is that the left and right arrow keys are given full size, but the upper and lower keys are still half-height design , and I always feel that if we slightly adjust the key configuration in the lower right area It should be able to achieve full size. I hope Razer’s designers can give full play to their creativity in the future. In terms of the keyboard feel, the film is soft and the feedback is not so cool, but it is suitable for long-term typing. Long-term typing is less uncomfortable. Provide a section of keyboard radio and finally the touchpad. The touchpad is too big. The surface is fine and smooth, but the trigger is neat, but the area is really too big. You need to be familiar with the position of hand operation , otherwise you will be typing. Occasionally, I accidentally touch the touchpad and cause a false touch. Then we enter another key performance test. The Razer Blade 16 in Bonnie’s hand uses the 13th generation Intel Core, which has performed very well this year in the CPU part. The HX series laptop processor i9-13950HX has an astonishing 8 P-cores plus 16 E-cores to form a 24-core 32-thread architecture. In the acceleration mode, the TDP can reach 110W, so of course you can’t be sloppy with Razer in terms of heat dissipation. The Blade 16 uses two sets of fans on the left and right. The main heat-generating area is also covered with a large area of VC vapor chamber. The actual measurement of the Razer Blade 16 shows that the two sets of fans fall at about 57dB at full speed. The noise control is relatively good at this level. Good performance, according to international practice, let’s test Cinebench R23 Razer Blade 16 this year. This year uses Intel’s HX series processor i9-13950HX, which is positioned for extreme performance. The actual test scored 1962 points in single-core, and the multi-core is also an amazing 26120 points. It is lower than Intel Core i9-13980HX. Intel’s toothpaste this year continues to step up. Compared with last year’s top CPU with the same positioning, the Intel Core i9-12950HX has a single-core improvement of 3.3%. At the same level, multi-core is even more powerful. The improvement has reached 32.5% . The Intel Core i9-13900H of the 13th generation H45 series is 36% faster. If you are upgrading from generation to generation, the Intel Core i9-13950HX is 2.1 times faster than the i9-11900H this year. This year is to put the desktop processor into the pen. The key point of the electric terminal this year is this performance. We directly compare it with the desktop processor, and we don’t lose at all. Compared with last year’s desktop CPU Intel Core i9-12900K, it is only 4.5% behind. It can catch up and even surpass this year’s 13th place. The first generation Intel Core i5-13600K is 9.2% stronger , so it’s still the same sentence this year when you see the processors at the end of HX. The peak performance of this wave of HX series CPUs is really very strong, but the heat dissipation of laptops Of course, there is still a difference with desktop computers , but this performance is really stronger than most people’s desktop computers. Next, let’s look at the graphics card. The GPU tested this time is GeForce RTX 4070 and it is a full-blooded 140W version . Razer Blade 16 also has RTX 4080 and RTX 4090 with full power of 175W , you can choose two versions, but we have tested RTX 4080 and 4090 before, so this time we borrowed full power RTX 4070 to test the performance and compare the performance of 140W and 105W RTX How big is the difference between the 4070? Because everyone knows that the RTX 4070 card has a voltage wall limit on the laptop side. Usually the game can only run up to 100W. Just look at the performance of the two machines with different settings of 105W and 140W. From the results, we can see the performance gap between RTX 4070, 4080, and 4090. You can decide which version to choose. But I am more concerned about the performance difference between 140W and 105W. The answer is that the difference is only 1.9% . So this generation of desserts The card series really don’t need to be full of blood myths. RTX 4070 is about 100W, which is enough. There are also brands that increase the wattage to increase the heat dissipation stack, so that the heat dissipation of the RTX 4070 model is almost unburdened. This wonderful situation happened because of Even if the 140W is designed, it will be running at 100 watts. It can only be described as interesting. But on the other hand, the 140W RTX 4070's score in Time Spy is almost equal to the RTX 3080. By the way, I want to talk about the Razer Blade 16 in particular. Supports direct connection of discrete display , but compared to the general MUX direct connection model, it needs to be restarted when switching modes, while the Razer Blade 16 does not need to be directly selected through the NVIDIA control panel, only NVIDIA GPU can be switched without restarting On the other hand , Optimus means the output through the internal display. The advantage of the direct connection is that it can release the performance of the graphics card more completely and effectively reduce the delay. For example, we can directly test CS:GO which is sensitive to delay. In the Optimus mode, the average was 361FPS and it was only for NVIDIA GPU. After that, it went directly to 437FPS. However, I feel that Razer can add an option for internal display only. Turning off the independent display when you take it out will save more power. The memory part uses 16+16 high-frequency DDR5 5600MHz RAM with a total of 32GB. The RAM storage part uses a single 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD. It can read 6870MB/s and write 4830MB/s. There is also an m.2 slot space that can be expanded by itself. Bonnie also ran 3DMark Time Spy 20 rounds to test the stability of Razer Blade 16. The stability of Razer Blade 16 reached 99.8%. The whole GPU temperature It falls at around 78 degrees and the GPU is controlled at 80 degrees. You can see that the heat dissipation scale of the Razer Blade 16 can cope with the RTX 4070, which does not generate much heat. The heat dissipation performance is relatively stable. Bonnie also actually measured the body temperature. The highest temperature reaches about 50 degrees , but the temperature of the entire button area is well controlled. It should be around 30 degrees. After reading the theoretical performance, let’s test the game performance. Let’s go directly to the game test without talking nonsense. First, there is no such thing under Forza 5 FHD. Stressful. The highest-grade extreme image quality plus high-light pursuit setting easily breaks 100 frames. With DLSS turned on, there is even 138FPS performance. 4K extreme picture quality plus high-light pursuit without DLSS has an average of 61FPS. After DLSS is turned on There is even an average performance of 74FPS. Then run God of War FHD without pressure. The more balanced choice is 2K very high quality without DLSS, there is an average of 58.6FPS after DLSS is turned on. After DLSS is turned on, the average reaches 74.8FPS on 4K high quality. After reaching 43.5FPS DLSS, it has a smooth running performance of 73.6FPS. Next, let’s look at GhostWire: Tokyo, which is more complicated in ray tracing. Tokyo ’s first test does not enable ray tracing FHD. It is also stress-free to directly measure 2K, which is relatively balanced and high-quality. The average ray tracing average is 56.6 After turning on DLSS, the FPS directly breaks through 100 frames and reaches an average of 111.2FPS. If you want to go to 4K quality, it is not recommended to turn on the light chase. You can choose 4K movie quality without DLSS, and the average is 52.9FPS. After turning on DLSS, you can reach an average of 90.4 FPS is the performance test software Cyberpunk 2077 at the end. Let me talk about the conclusion first. RTX 4070 actually controls well under FHD. Under the extremely high quality of FHD, there is an average of 86FPS. After turning on DLSS, it directly reaches an average of 177FPS . You must rely on the mysterious power of DLSS. Under FHD’s ultra-high light pursuit, DLSS is not enabled. The average 40.32FPS is turned on. DLSS can reach an average of 132FPS. In 2K, the ultra-high light pursuit cannot be turned on. 18.6FPS. With DLSS turned on, the average is 88.9FPS. The average 23FPS before the high-definition is turned on, and the average 64FPS with DLSS enabled. Summarize the Razer Blade 16 because it has a 4K screen. I would recommend that if you buy it to play 4K masterpieces, you should at least choose RTX 4080. Of course, if you have a budget, RTX 40 series can be upgraded to RTX 4090. There will be a sense of improvement once it is in place. It is indeed a choice. If 4K is for creation and not for games, then RTX 4070 is almost enough to meet the performance requirements of all FHD games . Without DLSS, it is impossible to run smoothly, but in other words, the RTX 40 series is really a great improvement. After the launch of RTX 4080 and 4090, even running 4K on a laptop has become a common thing. Razer battery life The Blade 16 uses a 95.2Wh battery. In the Bonney Endurance Test, playing Full HD YouTube videos continuously for an hour consumes 36% . In the PCMark 10 Modern Office Screen Setting 200 nits Battery Endurance Test, the Razer Blade 16 finally won. The performance of 4 hours and 20 minutes means that if you want to take it out and use it, you must at least use a small-sized PD charger to be more stable. Bonnie actually used the 280W charger that came with the original factory to charge it to 37% in half an hour and fully charged in an hour. It takes 2 hours and 22 minutes to fully charge 60% to 85% in an hour and a half. The charging time is relatively long. Bonnie also provides all the running test results for your reference. Overall, Razer’s laptop is good for judgment . Is it worth it? The most intuitive way is to touch the appearance of Razer Blade 16 directly at the scene. As long as you catch your eye, I think the day when you want to take him home is not far away. The next step is to save money and prepare the dowry You can marry and go home. Seriously speaking, the performance of this generation of HX series is basically rest assured. I am afraid that if you don’t use it, you are not afraid that the performance will not be enough. RTX 4070 is suitable for creators who occasionally play games. But if you have the following keywords include For advanced creation such as 3D, 4D requires 4K multi-track audio-visual editing, animation production and modeling. If the budget is sufficient, I sincerely suggest that it is really a conscientious suggestion. At least choose a graphics card starting with RTX 4080. Although the price is indeed higher, it is true, compared to RTX. 4070 will feel better in creation. The main difference is the scale of CUDA. I list the differences between RTX 4070, 4080, and 4090, and it will be very clear. Especially if your main software has GPU acceleration optimization, the difference will be even greater. Obviously good. In this episode, we also tested the performance of RTX 4060 , 4070 , 4080 , and 4090 as much as possible in the limited time . We have also tested the performance of RTX 4060 , 4070 , 4080 , and 4090 before . If you have any questions, please leave a message below to discuss together. The last time is to listen to the sound experience. The Razer Blade 16 is equipped with four sets of THX certified speakers. The volume performance is good. Bonnie measured the maximum volume at about 90 decibels . performance is normal
