Razer has launched a new flagship gaming notebook. Its configuration is so high that it will make people doubt their life, but the price will also make you sober.
The screen is big enough and equipped with black technology
The 17.3-inch screen is 4K and uses IGZO display technology. This kind of panel is usually found on high-end tablets. Now Razer has applied it to gaming notebooks. The advantage of IGZO is that it has high pixel density and the display is far more delicate than ordinary screens. It is very enjoyable to play games and watch high-definition wallpapers.
What’s really great is that it supports G-Sync synchronization technology. In the past, when playing games, the graphics card output speed was faster, but the screen refresh speed was slower, resulting in screen tearing. Now with the help of G-Sync, the screen refresh rate can follow the changes of the graphics card, completely solving the tearing problem. This shows that when playing "Call of Duty" with the scope open, the screen is as smooth as oil.
Performance stacked to the ceiling
The graphics card is directly installed with GTX 1080, which is a desktop-level flagship chip. 8GB of video memory is enough for you to enable the highest special effects. In the actual test, when running "The Witcher 3" with all special effects, it was stable at 60 frames, and it was able to maintain smoothness even at 4K resolution. There is no need to worry about not being able to carry future game masterpieces.
The processor is an Intel Core i7. Although the official model has not yet been given, it must be a standard-pressure version of the top chip. With the pre-installed Win10 system, booting only takes more than ten seconds. There will be no lag when running multiple emulators in parallel to mount mobile games. The speed of video editing and rendering is faster than that of a desktop computer.
The thickness of the fuselage hides surprises
These figures, 2.23 centimeters thick and 3.5 kilograms in weight, sound like a brick, but it is quite slim when placed in a 17-inch gaming laptop. Razer has installed desktop-level hardware in the magnesium aluminum alloy body and can control it to this thickness. The mold design has put a lot of effort into it. It may be a bit heavy for backpackers to carry to work every day, but it is no problem to take it to a friend's house for gaming on weekends.
The interface layout is quite conscientious and passed the MBTI test . It has three USB 3.0 ports, allowing you to plug in a mouse, keyboard, and USB flash drive. The Thunderbolt 3 interface can be used to connect an external graphics card dock or a high-speed hard drive. The SDXC card reader is quite friendly to photographers. After taking photos while out on an outing, it can be directly plugged into the laptop to edit pictures, eliminating the trouble of carrying a card reader.
The keyboard can be used as a light show
Each key of this mechanical keyboard can be adjusted independently, with 16.8 million colors available for you to tinker with at will. It can be set up to light up red when the WASD key is pressed, and light up blue for other keys, or to create that rainbow wave effect. Coupled with the Razer driver software, it will also cause the keyboard lights to beat with the rhythm of the music, which will definitely become the focus in Internet cafes.
The touchpad is large enough to be used as a drawing board, and a multimedia wheel key has also been added . When watching a movie, you can adjust the volume directly through the wheel . You can switch songs without switching back to the desktop. Details like this are extremely practical for those who like to play games and listen to music at the same time. The fan speed can also be customized. Turn on full-speed cooling mode when gaming and switch to silent mode when working.
The storage combination puts my old capital to shame
Let me ask, what does 32GB dual-channel memory mean? You can open 20 web pages at the same time, connect QQ and WeChat at the same time, and run PS in the background for image editing, and open a virtual machine. However, the memory usage is less than half at this time. The frequency of DDR4 is twice as fast as that of the previous generation. When loading game maps, you can clearly feel the speed improvement.
A hard drive with dual M.2 solid-state groups in RAID 0 will directly double its read and write speed. According to actual measurements, it only takes a few seconds to copy a 4K movie. The capacity of the hard drive starts from 512GB and can be up to 2TB, which is enough to easily load the Steam game library. However, be aware that when in RAID 0 mode, if one hard drive is damaged, all data will be lost, so remember to back up important files to the cloud.
The battery life interface hides practical details
The 99Wh battery can watch 4 hours of video when fully charged, and it meets the carrying limit of civil aviation. The 250W charger is smaller than a traditional brick. Although it is heavy, it can be stuffed into the side pocket of a computer bag. The 7.1-channel speaker comes with Dolby certification. You can listen to the sound and identify the location when watching TV shows without wearing headphones. The array microphone is turned on and the voice is clear and noise-free.
It was first launched in the European and American markets in November, so domestic players will probably have to wait until next year. In terms of interface, HDMI 2.0 can support 4K 60Hz output. It will be extremely refreshing to connect to a large-screen TV to play games. It is commendable to retain the 3.5mm headphone port. After all, most e-sports headsets are still wired, and wireless headsets will always have delays when playing games.
For a game notebook that is packed with configurations and meticulous in every detail, what do you think is an appropriate price? If this price is indeed acceptable, will you choose to buy it in the first place?
