Iam using a Dell XPS 15 right now, with i7-8700k, 1050, and 8gb ram (i bought it couple years ago)

so far, the laptop is holding well, but it is noticeable that it is a platform that is aging with rather limited thermals, and yes, i could use a better graphics card and ram capacity, which i am planning to upgrade.


Razer does too have a great display with great colour accuracy, if you are into that sort of thing. I have couple of friends who is using the Blade 15, the thermals are great, and keyboards are a charm, much better than the one on XPS.


I would prefer the 15 inch because I find that the display size is very important when it comes to modelling. For now, I think razer blade 15 is top pick laptop now! Just make sure you buy them where your warranty can be easily resolved if you face any problems in the future.


In the end usually if you spend more money (wisely) now you will actually spend less in the long run, where as if you get low specs you may need to replace your computer sooner when you find you need more power.


I have a Razer Blade 17" i7-7700HQ, the previous model, with NVIDIA GTX 1060. In my opinion, it is an excellent machine, really well built and performing well on anything I have tried so far, including Rhino and Vray. I use Rhino 6/7 on a daily basis. In fact, I am thinking about buying the latest model or the Razer Core, in addition. The only problems I have/had are related to the erratic Windows 10 Pro behaviour, problems related to itself and not to the machine. However, I cannot compare it with other machines of course, as I have not had the possibility to test them for free.


I am seriously considering purchasing the latest Razer Blade 15, 2070, 4K or the MSI WS Series WS65 or Lenovo ThinkPad P1 and wondered how are you finding the Razer some months later?

Especially, how it copes with rendering or modeling heavy files, in terms of sound, heat, and lag.

Curious if anyone has upgraded their RAM to 32gb or 64gb yet?


Hi Sky,

I have used the Razor quite a lot lately and it works very well!

The fan starts running quite fast, but the noise is about the same level as a macbook when running hot. The mouse pad is great and I can work in Rhino with it.

I have used a macbook 2015 with bootcamp for 5 years, so hardware wise I have been spoilt so here is the pros and cons for the Razor:


I love the machine, all computers has some camels that you have to swallow, and I gladly swallow these issues. BUT I wish the keys were properly lit. (That said, they look cool and minimalistic though)


I have a question. I want to buy a razer blade 13 inch laptop for my education. but in scared about this intel processor: i7-1065G7. Is has a base/turbo boost 1.3/3.9 ghz. In my education im going to use revit, autocad, photoshop, indesign and maybe archidat. This laptop had also an gtx 1660 gaming card and it has 16 gb ram. The main question is. Do i get any problems like lagg or buggy screen with those specs (most scared about the processor).


Most of the screen operations you seem concerned about depend on the GPU anyway, not the CPU, so the GTX 1660 should be fine. I have a GTX 1060 on my desktop workstation, and it's fine for Twinmotion and Enscape on a 25" screen.


For all these kernels, the bluetooth would constantly flicker on-off but the Wifi did connect. The issue with the Wifi was not entirely resolved though because the Wifi would randomly disconnect and it would take a reboot to reconnect to an existing network. So, I downloaded the newly released linux-firmware (commit number : fa0efeff) and installed the files into /lib/firmware. This fixed the bluetooth issue for kernels 5.11.14 and 5.11.16 but the Wifi entirely stopped working. In kernels 5.10.0 and 5.10.32 also stopped showing the Wifi option and while the bluetooth flickering stopped, it did not switch-on to look for any available bluetooth devices.


This seems to be a reoccurring issue over the past several months. Many folks in the community have experienced similar issues and none of the "work-arounds" have been consistent. I am seriously suffering from the delay in finding a fix to this problem and sincerely request you to look into this as soon as possible.


Thank you so much for looking into this and for your quick response. I tried using the tool you shared but it seems that the tool is not supported on the ubuntu architecture I have installed presently (20.04, kernel 5.11.16). The scan fails with the message "/bin/ping/: usage error: Destination address required".


I got responses for all the commands you requested except for "dmesg grep ASSERT" whose output was empty. I then attempted to follow the link you posted but it seems that trace-cmd is not available on the system by default...so I downloaded the source code but realized that "make" is not available by default either! I am not sure if there is any straightforward means to install make without internet -- this is where I am stuck presently -- none of the links here are working for me.


I have attached a file with all the outputs herewith hoping that it would help -- maybe there are some files in "firmware" under "modinfo iwlwifi" that I could change to resolve this issue? I am certain that the Wifi was working until I downloaded this firmware. After downloading this, my bluetooth started to work but the "wifi" option entirely disappeared from my settings. Maybe you could suggest some other commit that I can download and test on my system?


To answer the last question you asked,I am not sure what WLAN FW specifically refers to but all linux kernels 5.10+ worked for me after I downloaded iwlwifi-ty-59.601f3a66.0.tgz and copied the file into /lib/firmware.


I got the same problem on my razer blade 15 advanced 2018 with archlinux installed. I fixed the problem by renaming /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.pnvm file then after restarting my ax210 works correctly. I hope it can help.

Razer Inc. (stylized as R Λ Z Ξ R) is an American[4][5][6] multinational corporation and technology company that makes, develops and sells consumer electronics, financial services, and gaming hardware. The brand was founded in 1998, then refounded in 2005[7] by Min-Liang Tan and Robert "RazerGuy" Krakoff, although the business originated in 1999 in the US. It is dual headquartered in the one-north subzone of Queenstown, Singapore, and Irvine, California, US.[8]


Razer began as a San Diego, California-based subsidiary of krna LLC in 1998, which was created to develop and market a high-end computer gaming mouse, the Boomslang, targeted to computer gamers. Krna was shut down in 2000 due to bankruptcy. The current iteration of Razer was founded in 2005 by Min-Liang Tan, a Singaporean NUS graduate,[8] and Robert Krakoff after they procured the rights to the Razer brand following a large investment from Hong Kong tycoon Li Ka-shing and Singaporean holding company Temasek Holdings.[9][10]


Razer bought the software assets of the Android-based microconsole Ouya from its parent company Ouya Inc. on 27 July 2015, while the hardware was discontinued.[11][12] Ouya's technical team joined Razer's team in developing their own microconsole, which was called the Forge TV.[13] It was discontinued in 2016.[14][15][16][17]


In January 2017, Razer bought manufacturer Nextbit, the startup behind the Robin smartphone.[19] Shortly after in November that, Razer unveiled the Razer Phone, its first smartphone whose design is based on that of the Robin.[20]


In April 2018, Razer announced that it was planning to fully acquire the e-payments platform MOL for about $61 million.[25] In July, Razer made its debut in Malaysia by launching an e-wallet service called Razer Pay.[26] They also announced the Razer Phone 2 in October.[27]


On 21 December 2018, Razer announced its new seven-storey South-east Asia headquarters in the one-north subzone of Queenstown, Singapore. The building was expected to be ready by 2020, with Boustead Projects' joint venture firm constructing it. The exterior would be lit with LED strips representing a central processing unit in operation.[28] Razer held its ground-breaking ceremony on 22 February 2019, with a new digital real estate start-up called Echo Base launched the same day. 600 more staff were planned over the next few years, adding to the 400 staff based then. The first smart city project in the region would be developed soon.[29][30][31]


On 21 May 2019, Razer released a statement that announced that Ouya online accounts and services would be discontinued on 25 June 2019. According to Razer, most apps will become unusable on the platform, many relying on the user accounts to work. Razer suggests that users may be able to transfer purchases to other storefront platforms like Google Play if developers and publishers agree to such.[33]


In February 2021, CEO Tan Min-Liang announced that Razer will move its Singapore headquarters to a much larger building that would open in the second quarter of 2021.[38] Razer planned to hire up to 1,000 positions for the new headquarters.[39] The headquarters officially opened on 26 October 2021, which was officiated by Deputy Prime Minister of Singapore Heng Swee Keat at the ceremony. The building consisted of a "RazerStore" and a "RazerCafe".[40]


Razer's products are generally targeted at gamers and include gaming laptops, gaming tablets, and PC peripherals such as mice (e.g. Razer Naga), audio devices, keyboards, mouse mats, and gamepads. Most Razer products are named after predatory or venomous animals, ranging from snakes (mice), insects (mouse mats), arachnids (keyboards), marine creatures (audio), and felines (console peripherals). The exceptions to this are the Razer Blade series of laptops and Razer Edge, which are instead named after bladed objects.[citation needed] Razer has also released a VOIP software called Razer Comms.[citation needed]
