    The 3080ti in a Razer laptop is such a bad value. It's too low of a TGP compared to other laptops but still costs the same to upgrade to it. On Razer's website they list the TGP of both the 3070ti and 3080ti as 105W... anyone considering this laptop should 100% save their money and buy the 3070ti version as you'll get better thermals and probably identical performance.

      Again, ask the one that gonna use. 8gb vs 16gb vram is the true reason people paid more. Like he heck why people bought 4k in a laptop, it make no sense if you just want a sharper display…the truth is 4k is a better panel in color accurate, that only behind newer panel like oled, q oled, mini led. For gaming i don’t thing any gamers will even consider razer for mainstream gaming. So the point here is don’t just judge people base on your point of view

    I recently just got the 2021 version of the Zephyrus g15, but since I got it, I have been experiencing a lot of internet speed slowdowns and dropouts when gaming that I didn't experience on my old laptop. I know that my g15 has one of the MediaTek cards in it so my question is should I be considering getting a new wifi card (like one from the killer or intel) for the laptop or are there other steps I can take to remedy this issue? I have tried searching if anyone else with this laptop has had similar problems, but I couldn't find anything so any advice is welcome.

    Hey Jarrod is it normal for the Razer Blade with the RTX 3080Ti to get warm. It's almost like an uncomfortable warm as if the laptop is over heating.

    Can you do a review of the 2022 Razer Blade 17 3080 TI with the 360 hz display? I am really curious what kind of fps you can get with that laptop on ray tracing games with DLSS disabled since it is only 1080P. I like the idea that with the 165 watt variant of the 3080 TI and a 1080p 360 hz screen you can just max out all settings without the need for any AI enhancement.

      Yes, it sacrifices some performance and it's obviously very expensive, but I like to go for the highest quality when possible. I also don't fancy laptops that aren't portable because they just go against the very purpose of a laptop.

    It's pretty interesting to see how all these new hardware only give incremental improvements for games. Goes to show that there's clearly more value in getting a steep discount with previous year's models rather than paying close to full retail prices for the very latest hardware when it comes to gaming.

    Battery bloat can be mostly avoided by limiting the maximum charge state to 80% if you leave the laptop(or whatever lithium based device) plugged into a charger most of the time. Most Dell, Lenovo, and HP enterprise laptops have this setting avaialble in the BIOS, and i think it should come as standard on every laptop/tablet/phone.
    I'd much rather have a phone that only lasts a day and a half instead of 2, rather than need to replace the battery/phone every 2 years. Same goes for a laptop/car
