Big and small, Razer's got both for CES 2023.
This year Razer will be bringing us its first ever 18-inch gaming laptop, or desktop replacement to be more accurate, packing one of Intel's 13th Gen Core i9 HX-series chips, along with. Razer has also announced that the new Razer Blade 16 will be packed into a much smaller chassis than anticipated. A little bit of min-maxing going on with these next-gen gaming laptops, then, and from what I've seen it's an impressive feat at both ends of the spectrum.
Razer's first installation to their 2023 gaming laptop lineup comes in the form of the Blade 16. Not only has Razer has managed to jam a 16-inch panel into a chassis that's only a smidge bigger than the current Blade 15—alongside a 13th Gen Intel Core i9 HX-series CPU and Nvidia RTX 40-series mobile GPU—it also announced the Blade 16 will come with the"world's first dual mode Mini LED display.
Neither dual mode nor Mini LED are novel concepts for laptop panels. Combining the two essentially means the Blade 16's 16:10 panel—another in a long line offor CES 2023—will have the ability to switch from creative mode , to a dedicated gaming mode. Gaming mode kicks the refresh up to 240Hz, while reducing the resolution in exchange for higher frame rates. The panel will be HDR ready, too, coming in at 1,000 nits peak brightness, and 100% DCI P3.
Now, we're aware from our previous reviews that Razer laptops tend to come up a little hot in testing. The 12th Gen Core i7/RTX 3080 Ti specaveraged out at 100°C CPU temps, in fact. So whether packing even more power into a smaller chassis will result in higher temps, or just more thermal throttling, we'll have to wait to find out.
