DuringCES 2023Razer revealed a pair of new laptops packed full of the latest tech.
The Blade 16 is one of the interesting highlights from the show for a few different reasons. The first is its claim to having the world’s first dual modemini-LEDdisplay but also this is a 16-inch laptop that’s been crammed into a frame that’s just a smidge bigger than theprevious Razer Blade 15 model.
Razer says this machine is the “perfect combination of performance, portability and precision crafting”. It features the usual things you’d expect from a premium Razer laptop, with highlights including a CNC-milled aluminium body and a thin bezel 16-inch panel. Inside it packs serious specs that include the latest top-end enthusiast-grade CPUs from Intel uptothe Core i9-13950HXand Nvidia’s next-gen laptop graphics processors.
Razer is likening the performance of the Razer Blade 16 to a sports car, claiming to have “best-in-class” graphics power density. This results in claims of 35 per cent more power per cubic inch than any other 16-inch laptop currently on the market.
What’s most interesting though is that dual mode display. This laptop features a 16-inch panel with two different “modes” that include a creator mode with UHD+ (4k+) with 120Hz refresh rate and a gamer mode is Full HD+ with 240Hz refresh rate. You need to reboot to switch between these two modes, but it means the Razer Blade 16 is dual-purpose.
If you want to edit videos or photos then the creator mode offers more pixels and 100% DCI-P3 colourspace coverage. While gamer mode gives you a faster refresh rate for smoother and competitive gaming sessions.
Other highlights include a solidly built CNC-milled aluminium chassis packing in four speakers with THX auduo, a 330W GaN charger and a 95.2 Whr battery and portable design.
