Razer Blade 16 Review - Worth it for 2024?

The 2023/2024 Razer Blade 16 gaming laptop is a step in the right direction for Razer. More wattage, slightly thicker, higher performance. Is it worth the tradeoffs though? Is it worth the price? Let's take a look!

The Blade 16 features either a 4K, 120Hz mini-LED panel with dynamic resolution switch to 1200p/240Hz with 1,000+ nits of brightness OR a 1600p QHD 240Hz OLED panel with around 450 nits of brightness. The model shown here has the RTX 4090 but it is also available with an RTX 4080 or 4070. All have the same CPU which is an Intel i9-13950HX for 2023 or i9-14900HX for 2024. So great specs, but we're going to find out in this video how it handles all of that! And touch on any differences between the 2023 and 2024 models.

We'll also compare it to other laptops like the Zephyrus G14, Lenovo Legion Pro 7i, Zephyrus M16, and ROG Flow X16.

I hope you enjoyed the video! If you did, please like and subscribe to help the channel out, so I can continue making videos like these (and hopefully put them out quicker).

Special thanks to Reddit user u/Devildog2407 for gathering tons of data on the 2024 model (between two different units!) to help me with comparisons.
