Blade 18

Same issue, ran for a year or so then began overheating more and more, to the point where it shuts down if I even open a game. Repasting didn’t fix anything. It seems like the vapor chamber in the heatsink has a defect that causes it to break from normal use. I strongly recommend that people who can

You sacrifice a lot going clean and neat, I promise. They look great and portable but having such a small chassis really hinders the whole point of buying one for the hardware they’ve crammed into it. I’ve read the 18” handles it better but I’ve had the 2024 Blade 16 with the 4090 for a while and wo

I had noticed that the model with the visible filler seemed to be the model that didn't have the problem, because mine doesn't have the visible filler. I disassembled my heatsink with a heat gun. I'll share the photos. https://imgur.com/a/O5b8rg0 I did this because I thought about fixing the laptop

Very interesting post. I see both the KingMa (I had never heard of this one, definitely checking it out) and SlimQ have non grounded plugs. Does this cause a vibrating sensation on the blade itself? One of the reasons I use Apple's and Razer's original Power bricks with my MacBook Pro and Blade 18 i

Absolutely keep the box and packaging. They do not send you a box to put stuff in. I had this with a Blade 16 I eventually returned in favour of the 18, but it was not the best experience. It has been a tight squeeze but manged to get it into a backpack designed for a 16inch laptop. It will vary bet

I wonder what kind of major design flaws the 2026 Blades will have. Hey downvoters: maybe you're too braindead to realize that EVERY Blade release has had MAJOR design flaws that cause the laptops to become virtually unusable. Then again, what would this sub be without braindead Razer fanboy zombies

Razer Blade 18 Pro, supposedly a high end gaming laptop, it has a beautiful display, nice tactile feel, I find most windows laptops cheap and tacky. In practice after a year it struggles to maintain 35W on the CPU without 100C temps and major throttling, it's unstable with constant crashes, DPC late

Be very careful when buying! Ask the seller to take a picture of the inside of the laptop. If the vapor chamber has a visible fill port, you should be good. If you don't see a fill port, stay the fuck away from that particular Blade. The ones without a visible fill port seem to be more prone to a ca

I bought the 2023 blade 18. After about 18 months the hinges started to wobble. Razer wouldn’t sell me another set of hinges. They quoted me 300 to replace the hinges if I sent it in. I offered to pay the 300 and just send me the hinges. Still wouldn’t do it. Ended up buying a used display panel off

Your previous build would be a decent amount faster. The laptop 3080 is more like an underpowered desktop 3070. https://www.notebookcheck.net/GeForce-RTX-3080-Laptop-GPU-vs-GeForce-RTX-3070_10474_10559.247598.0.html The 3080 laptop has the same memory and about 4% more cores, but the cores are around
