My Apple Silicon MBP 16" has 21 hours of battery life. This thing has "10 hours" but in real-world usage, it's likely a lot less. If the GPU ever fires, it's going to be 1.5-3 hours at best.
Quote: I don't see any reason to buy this over Macbooks.
1)Gaming on the road using a Windows 11 laptop capable of running COD, Witcher III, and maybe even Skyrim. Just suggesting as I am not completely sure a Macbook can or cannot run those games or if it can run them properly with all the graphics on etc. even if you dualboot ios and windows. These type laptops are gaming beasts for a laptop. My nephew has one similar with an ips monitor and what it is capable of running is pretty amazing. Gotta plug it in though for serious gaming but having the ability to take your gaming on the road is amazing. It will probably be a future purchase for me.
It surprises me how such a small reader community still falls for low hanging fruit trolling from the few people that still bother to do so in the comments section.
Different machine different purpose pal.. 21 hours? Idle time? Not sur4 about AMD but battery life almost near to Apple M series laptop... Apple laptop ? Soldered RAM? weak GPU? Hurmm..
If a laptop that isn't a MacBook shows up with 21 hours of battery life, would you come in to say that your MacBook Pro has a battery life of "22 hours, one minutes, and thirty seconds"?
They never say "I have a mac book", they always say "mac book pro". They have to repeat "pro" over and over, otherwise nothing could justify spending that much. They get so neurotic they feel the need to search every new laptop review and say how theirs is better. Small pee-pee energy.
The only reason I wouldn't get a razer blade, is because of long term reliability issues, along with various minor defects that seem to constantly come up.
The only reason to get the 14" model, is because you didn't like the other 14" ryzen gaming laptop options. And you only get 3 options in that size.
Yeah, I got burned by razer and their shit reliability. Will never buy another razer product again...ASUS makes great gaming laptops, not as slick for sure, but much cheaper and have been solid for me.
what a weird product. if you want to solder your RAM, at least uses LPDDR5 RAM at the fastest bandwidth, because Phoenix Range are indeed support it. why bother uses DDR5 RAM but non-upgradeable, and at the same time charge over $2000?

why it always stops on 32GB. we already need more, and device like razer is perfect for being trailblazer of 14'' with 64GB of ram....Fulljack - Thursday, June 22, 2023 - link
