Razer Blade 16

The Blade 16 is an attractive, premium gaming laptop with a gorgeous and unique Mini-LED dual-mode display. But you're paying a whole lot for the display and design, as similarly performing systems can be found for more than $1,000 less.

The Blade 16 manages to squeeze high-end gaming performance into a slim and sleek design, and its dual-mode Mini LED display provides dazzling image quality for gaming and professional use. It's pretty expensive, though, and some users may prefer to spend the extra cash on a larger external display instead.

Das Blade 16 schafft es, High-End-Gaming-Performance in ein schlankes und elegantes Design zu quetschen, und sein Dual-Mode-Mini-LED-Display bietet eine blendende Bildqualität für Spiele und den professionellen Einsatz. Es ist allerdings ziemlich teuer, und einige Nutzer geben das zusätzliche Geld vielleicht lieber für ein größeres externes Display aus.

Having used it for the last few weeks, I’m leaning towards this Blade 16 being a good buy. I like some of the changes offered this year, particularly the 16:10 display and form factor, as well as the added thickness that supports a higher-wattage CPU and GPU, and allows the Blade to match the capabilities of other high-tier performance laptops, something it did not in the past. On the other hand, you'll have to be aware of the somewhat finicky oversized touchpad, as well as the hefty price that Razer are asking for this 2023 Blade 16 generation.

Le Blade 16 parvient à intégrer des performances de jeu haut de gamme dans un design fin et élégant, et son mini-écran LED bimode offre une qualité d'image éblouissante pour le jeu et l'utilisation professionnelle. Il est cependant assez cher, et certains utilisateurs préfèreront peut-être dépenser l'argent supplémentaire dans un écran externe plus grand.
