Razer Blade 17 2022 Core i7 RTX 3080 Ti laptop review: Supercharged performance

[Redaktion]

The original Blade 17 design launched in 2019 with a target TGP of only 100 W. Fast-forward to 2022 and Razer has significantly upped the target to 165 W without any major changes to the chassis. Are there any repercussions users can expect from the more power-hungry internals?

One problem with the Blade laptops; no numpad. When you play complex simulators you really need those keys. That alone made me discount it as an option. My friend had a HP Omen, with no right-alt or right-ctrl (don't remember which), and he was in a world of hurt just with that one key missing. Otherwise, the Blade laptops look great.

Razer would have connected a heatsink to that 3rd fan, seeing what 2 fans can do, a 3rd fan connected to a heat sink would have dropped temperature massively. Sure palm rest will be warm but I can trade that for low temperature after all, it performance I seek.

You can buy a usb/bluetooth numpad for 10-50$ and use it exactly where it should be if you need it that much.
