A LAPTOP WITH a 4K 144Hz display? That’s impressive. But does it actually make sense? Before we get to the answer, let’s cover off the new Blade 15’s speeds and feeds. The 4K screen is a 15.6 incher, an IPS panel described as the ‘Creator’ option—you can also opt for 360Hz 1080p and 240Hz 1440p alternatives—and backed up with impressive 100 percent coverage of the demanding DCI-P3 digital cinema color gamut.
To that, you can add the cream of the available crop of performance laptop components. That’s Intel’s mighty Core i912900H CPU with six high-performance cores and eight efficiency cores, plus 32GB of the latest 4,800MHz DDR5 memory. On graphics duty is the finest mobile GPU known to man, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti with 16GB of VRAM. And you get a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD, too.
It’s all wrapped up in Razer’s familiar 15-inch chassis. Available in any color so long as it’s black, the main chassis remains one of the better-built all-alloy affairs out there, though there’s just a touch of flex in the keyboard bed. The keyboard, incidentally, is per-key RGB backlit and fully programmable with all the usual effects.

AMD's turn to drop the ball?
WITH INTEL'S RAPTOR LAKE CPUs falling over, the company firing around 15,000 employees, and cancelling its 2024 innovation event, AMD must have been enjoying the view - until its new Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs rolled out. So, is AMD's CPU a minor stumble or game-changing fumble?
Intel issues fix for Raptor Lake degradation
EARLIER THIS YEAR, I wrote about difficulties I was having with a Core 19-13900K processor (see MPC230 Tech Talk). Little did we realize that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg. While most complaints have involved the unlocked Core i9 Raptor Lake CPUs, it appears the instability problems build up and potentially impact many Raptor Lake-13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs, with Intel identifying 22 different desktop parts.
