/g/ should love this thing. It has great battery life, an amazing screen, an OK keyboard and touchpad, and has a fucking quad core i7 and a 970m in a "Razer" thin package.
The only problem I see with it is the Logo on the front, which can be easily covered up.
>>54356673
too bad /g/ has more memes than brains
>>54356673
My main concern would be how hot it gets.
I once had a "gaming" laptop which practically set things on fire, never again.
>>54356673
theirs tones of pcs like this, this just has a premium tag on it and is targeted at gamers.
Anyone that requires actual power will get a workstation laptop, the only people who this services is gamers, and 970m =/= 970
>>54356673
/g/ is full of xps shills. Luckily only one retard on here fell for the shilling, so I haven't fully lost faith in /g/'s intelligence just yet.
>>54356673
gaymer
>>54356693
Its suitable as both a light workstation, as well as being a casual gaming device that's ultra portable. The 970m is roughly equivalent to a regular 960.
>>54356690
It keeps both the CPU and GPU below 85c under full load.
>>54357534
>elow 85c under full load.
Portable fucking crematorium
>>54356673
an mobile hq i7 wcich is shittier and more exensive
same goes for video card
>>54357566
It's a laptop that's almost as thin as a macbook 13 inch, what the fuck are you expecting, a 6700K? A Fucking titan X/Fury X? Its a laptop autismo.
>970m
I don't need that shit in a laptop. Just give me the i7 with Intel hd graphics, linux support and 16:10
>>54356673
I7, 970m and thin.
Scorching heat under load. No thanks.
>>54357623
>85c maximum load
>scorching hot
OK.
Yeah /g/ is full of memes than actual intelligence like the XPS fags that keep pushing that meme around because "muh bezels".
I just ordered the new RBS and I'm really excited for it to arrive I don't really need to game mobile so I didn't get the new blade that's coming out I just want to program and stuff although I might look into the core since it's $100 off and it's a unique piece of technology.
Over-styled and priced gamer crap, you pay the tax for that.
It's really a shame no one has figured out a reasonable way to build your own laptop yet
>>54357534
And that is fucking hot. My desktop runs at 60-65C under full load. I can play MUH vidyuhs at home.
>>54357656
When it's that thin and has shit fans? You're kidding, right?
>>54357712
>desktop runs at 60-65c
Holy shit get your shit together that's terrible you shouldn't go past 45c on a desktop these days.
Also 85c for an ultrabook "under full load" key phrase there, isn't bad.
>>54356673
>It has great battery life
Meh.
Also while the screen is good, the aspect ratio ruins it. Wincucks should just get Surfacebook.
>>54357712
Anon, you just proved that you never get out much. For people with real friends and that actually travel places, we need portable devices, and for me, that means something that can game on the go fairly well.
>>54357744
Most laptops get up to those temps with only a dual core CPU. This has a quad core and a 970m.
>>54357712
That's fucking hot, my desktop CPU doesn't even reach 55° with 20 bucks cooler and it's a fucking overclocked FX 6300. 960GTX maxed out at 67°, with 10% OC.
>>54357748
Some of us live in warmer areas than others, retard.
>>54357748
Better cooling exists practically everywhere. Even Kirabooks don't run that hot
>>54357782
Are you comparing desktops to laptops.
This board is officially fucking autistic. My desktop gets 65c max on an overclocked 5820k, and my dual 290xs get about 67-70c running furmark. Literally nothing special. A laptop, which is a very small form factor and doesn't have the elbow room to cool things as well unlike a desktop, will always run hotter than a desktop. This just proves that you don't get outside much, and that you don't have any friends to go places with. A laptop is a portable device, not a main machine. The Razer Blade 14 allows me not to carry a 50 pound desktop around just to play a bit of Battlefield 4 in my hotel/place of residency.
>>54357782
I too can overclock and play wow. Congrats, nice memes.
>>54357840
You don't have air conditioning in your house? Because if you do then the climate is exactly the same. Unless you keep your computer outside like some kind of idiot.
>>54357873
Because they are running a fucking dual core with integrated graphics you fucking retard, unlike the Razer Blade which has both a Quad Core CPU and a dedicated GPU.
>>54357897
Sure I have air conditioning, I just don't run it all the time. If it's not humid it's not really necessary this time of year, and it's not often humid.
>>54357881
NO the other guy was comparing them he's calling the other guy an idiot for not only comparing them but having shitty desktop temps in the first place.
You're the autistic one friendo.
>>54357656
human skin burns at 60 degrees
now fuck off
>>54357919
So explain your shitty temps then faggot.
>>54357921
I replied to the wrong comment anon forgive me.
>>54357712
See
>>54357881
>>54357940
I forgive you bby
>>54356673
Because $1500 for a laptop
>>54357886
Witcher 3 actually pushes the temps more than Furmark, it's just 60° with the latter. Probably the extra heat from CPU.
>>54357922
Are you seriously implying the actual surface of the laptop is that hot.
This board really is autistic.
>>54357968
*$2200
I'd gladly pay a premium for a premium product.
>>54357971
Some Alienware reached that, seeing the hardware and size of this laptop, I wouldn't be surprised it could too.
>>54357968
Are you poor? It costs $2500 for a nice laptop in 2007 with a 7800 in it $1500 is extremely affordable.
Waiting for the Pascal GTX 1070M refresh
Why are gaming laptops a thing? The whole point of a laptop is to have something portable. The point of a desktop is to have something powerful. Why does anyone bother to mix the two? This is so disgusting.
>>54356673
>windows 10
>>54357968
POOR
>>54358030
Because some people like to travel? Back in the day I had a gaming laptop before they were really considered a seperate thing and it was amazing to be able to get to my guilds raids in wow no matter my schedule and I could play games with my friends at any of their houses whenever they wanted to LAN.
>>54358066
This.
>>54358000
>comparing a shitty aliemware laptop to a different more premium laptop.
>>54358030
Some people have a job that requires them to travel, and/or have friends and actually go places or do things besides sit inside all day and play vidya on there desktop. This laptop is a portable power gaming machine, and its useful for people who want portability and power.
>>54357905
RBS doesn't have a dGPU, buddy. It's just an ultrabook
>>54357968
If it fits to your needs and there are no cheaper alternatives, why the fuck not?
Poorfags who pretend something is expensive because THEY can't afford it are fucking annoying.
>>54358091
I just said that it's possible, faggot. From the look of it RB reaches 51° outside temp, which is pretty hot too, and it's bound to reach it pretty often when gayming too.
>>54357588
buy an think-pad for 700$ less and stop being a gaymer.
You're just paying some colored leds and the logo on the laptop like the worst kind of retarded kid.
>>54358113
Are you fucking retarded. I said Razer Blade 14.
>>54358122
I have a T420 already you fucking autismo. I want to be able to play some games as well.
>>54356673
>win10
>razer
>gaming
>laptop
choose none
>>54358143
t420 is shit.
>>54358122
Jesus fuck, your autism and poorfaggotory is showing. I'd never buy a gaymer laptop but if somebody wants to do it ... why not? 1-2k are nothing for people with jobs.
>>54358175
>thinking his opinions matter
Top zozzle.
>>54358049
And it can't be replaced.
>>54358143
what the fuck have you done? Did you put a 1080p screen and quad core i7 in a T420? How's your housefire?
>>54356673
>Look mom, I posted it again!
You made this same exact thread yesterday and you're going to get the exact same responses of why no one who actually does things with their computer wants Razer's shitty gaymer garbage and the exact same /v/ermin running to defend retarded gaymer gear.
>>54358446
Pretty well.
>>54358482
idle temps are always low due to dynamic freq. put it under full load NOW and see if it throttles. qeq.
>>54358467
What the fuck are you talking about. The only thread I made yesterday was one about my new 1440p 144hz monitor. I was just recently considering it, and wondered why the fuck /g/ hates it so much.
>>54358467
You seem pretty upset over quality hardware there mate. Let me guess you own a thinkpad right? And you use linux right? Fuck off.
>>54356673
How is that keyboard ok? Honestly whoever makes a current laptop without some superfish shit on it that I can swap one of the old thinkpad keyboards into has my money.
Though I just fixed up a w520 and it feels like Im good for a decade. I dont need more power if I work with text.
>>54358497
In Mprime I get about 80c. Don't have an pictures of it on my phone tho.
>>54358513
I like to game as well as do schoolwork. If that works for you that's perfect. You do you.
>>54358517
I'm almost sure it throttles. There is no heatsink to cool that thing down unless you are in antarctica.
>>54356673
anyone who doesnt want a laptop with power literally has no friends.
Its as simple as that. If you have a neckbeard you clearly dont need a laptop.
>>54358534
If you don't replace the shitty lenovo thermal paste yes. I had a 2520m in before the i7, it got hotter than my 2720qm does because of shitty thermal paste. The cooling system can handle it perfectly well if you use decent quality thermal paste.
>>54358561
OP here, some people don't need the power. But if your argument against a powerful laptop is "Muh desktop" you most likely have no life, and don't need even a light laptop because you never leave your mothers basement.
>>54356673
>$1,507.49
Fuck that!
>>54358571
dude I literally did the same with my i5 2520m, replaced with arctic silver. I even ordered two piped heatsink that's used for the discrete one. Full load is at least 85c.
>>54358619
I'll post pics soon.
Does any manufacturer make a modern laptop with features like the dell latitude e6500?
>real keyboard
>16:10
>metal alloy
>>54358647
also what about that 1080p screen? sauce pls
>>54358680
There's a guide on the thinkpad wiki.
>>54358617
>being this poor
>>54358697
I will check some time if I haven't bought macbook pro 15" I would definitely apply it.
>>54358734
rMBP is a solid machine, while I may not agree with the price, its still extremely solid for what it has.
>>54358197
>Top zozzle.
What a fag lmao
>>54357712
are you fucking stupid, of course your desktop can handle higher temps, it's in a huge ass case with big fucking heatsinks (compared to those in laptops) with gigantic fans that are thicker than the laptop is alone
laptop hardware is designed to handle higher temps because of this reason. laptop mobo can handle 100C and it'll still not overheat, not only because it doesnt have the same kind of cooling a desktop does, but for other cases like if you leave it in your car or something.
85C under full load is fucking good, my x220 gets 90C whenever i play rocket league, and my x220 has a shitty HD3000
>>54359617
Yeah that guy is a retard for sure.
>>54359569
>stop doing what I don't like
>>54358619
>>54358534
After running mPrime for an hour.
>>54360339
After running a train on your mom for an hour
>>54356673
I think it's cool
>>54356673
Stop making the same thread over and over. We already talked about this, the Razer Stealth seems passable and has almost a decent price for an ultrabook but the Blade is just stupid.
Maybe in the next iteration they will get the battery right for both.
>>54361863
The battery in the stealth lasts 6.5 hours and that was before the update which increased it. Sounds more than good to me for an ultrabook that powerful and cheap. I don't know about the normal blade though. I just like the stealth
>>54356673
that keyboard is retarded on so many levels.
why are the names for the function keys written in small font on the upper portion of the keys?
why is esc written in the far left and others just randomly at some distance to the key edge?
why are ! @ # etc placed under the key as opposed to the numbers being lower?
why aren't the ! @ # etc parts of the keys backlit?
why are the letters not centered on the keys?
why are the function part of the f keys not backlit?
i've never encountered such a shit keyboard design, maybe on chromebooks but atleast they're consistent
>>54362046
Actually chroma is really freakin' neato desu senpai
You can program it to light up certain ways relating to tasks and programs. Have you seen what it does for Overwatch? It's really cool.
>>54362077
is chroma the rainbow backlighting? it might be cool, i can see who lighting different keys different colors can be useful but the keyboard has a lot of problems imo
>>54362046
>this anon looks at his keyboard
posting on /g/ should require a touch typing test
>>54356673
I was on your side the first time you made this thread. Now you're just shilling like everyone else.
>>54362174
a keyboard should be designed to be looked at. wether i need to look or not is irrelevant
>>54356673
I doubt any of the anons posting in this thread actually own a Blade, so we can forgive their ignorance.
It's a better, cheaper macbook pro with well-rounded hardware that can drive the built-in 1800p IGZO and your 4k TV without a hiccup. Build quality is top notch, imagine the unibody macbook taken to an extreme -- I cannot imagine this thing ever breaking.
Keyboard works great as a Das with lighting off, or perfectly readable in any dark room with lighting at level 1.
Logo on the back is trite, but so is a giant fucking apple. Put a sticker over it.
Excellent speaks and array mic, comes with free FL Studio Producer Edition. Audio engineer friends fucking love this machine, its as sturdy as a mackie mixer.
>>54362155
Most the problems you're listing are kind of like autistic though
>>54362276
I'm posting in this thread and I don't own one but I have purchased one I am just waiting for fucking fedex to get it across the damn country. Also I have the stealth not the normal one because I don't plan on just gaming on it and if I feel like it I'll order the core and game better.
When is the new one supposed to come out? Will it have pascal?
>>54362206
>>54361863
I literally have no clue what you are talking about. I'm talking about the Razer Blade 14 not the shitty stealth.
>>54358143
>Uptime 7min
You must be new to arch...
>>54364272
I tried to install windows to dual boot and either my dumb ass fucked up or windows 10 destroyed my install, I literally just reinstalled it yesterday. Not to mention I turn off my laptop every night because I don't need it to be.
>>54364162
The stealth is fucking awesome though it's the best ultrabook you can get.
>>54362757
Most likely, that's what I'm waiting for to buy it. The Razer Blade 14 with a 1070m will be an amazing buy.
>>54364324
Not for my needs, maybe for others, not me though.
>>54356703
what laptop should I buy under 800 USD that has a nice screen and moderate performance ?
>>54364367
Op here.
A used macbook pro 13 inch. You can find hem on eBay, they are solid machines (though a bit overpriced)
>>54364343
I mean yeah that's the big thing with ultrabooks they don't fit everyone's needs but if they do the stealth is freakin awesome.
>>54364471
I guess.
None
>>54356673
Not only the logo, the USB ports are green too
>>54364717
Besides that?
>>54364717
Fucking yeah they are green they look tight as hell
>>54358111
>have friends and actually go places or do things besides sit inside all day and play vidya on there desktop
So that's why they buy a gaming laptop?
what does /g/ think of this dell? http://www.amazon.com/Dell-Inspiron-i7559-763BLK-Full-HD-GeForce/dp/B015PYYDMQ?tag=hardwarevol03-20
