    UPDATE 03. April 2024: Tested 2024 Zephyrus G16 RTX 4090 vs 2024 Blade 16 RTX 4090. The clear winner is Razer! Keeping the Blade and returning the G16 now. I wanted to love it..
    Can you compare this Razer Blade 16 2024 w/ RTX 4090 against the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 w/ RTX 4090? I am highly interested in noise samples and measurements!! Noise is the most important part after performance on a laptop for me. They are all fast. But which one is going to be the quietest at the same stress?
    Would love if you could match performance and then measure noise levels. For example if you max out Cyberpunk and cap it at 60fps. Which laptop is louder after 10 minutes of play?
    Thanks!

      ​@@DipSet85 Unfortunately, I didn't keep any of these laptops. I returned the ROG Zephyrus G16 as defective and then never gave it another thought. I had to return the Razer Blade 16 to the dealer in a legal dispute because every Razer Blade from 2024 has DPC latency problems that cannot be fixed by the user. The Razer Blade 16 is therefore absolutely useless for professional users and actually also for every gamer. It is a mystery to me how the Razer Blade 16 is recommended here even though it has such extreme problems and that as standard. MacBooks are not an alternative either, because all M-Chip MacBooks have input lag problems. Hardly anyone talks about it, but these problems exist. That's why I simply built a desktop PC again.

    In case someone is interested:
    They share the same screen, but Blade 16 OLED has a different coating! It's more reflective than the G16. On the other side, the Blade 16 has a much better performance, especially when you compare both 4090 variants with each other. I did them side by side with different reflections. It's different.

I’ve had a 4k blade 16 and the 3.2k legion and yes there is a difference in clarity but it’s not a huge difference when you’re playing games. What is noticeable is 4k is much much harder to drive so your fps will be much lower and the laptop will be much hotter and louder. I hope the new 50 series cards are 30-50% more powerful then a 4k oled panel would make more sense to me.

    How is the screen in comparison with the legion 9i?
    I’d really like one buy a laptop with a 4090 that is not capped in regards to wattage (like Asus seems to have done?), a good processor (obviously) and a stunning screen. Since I love my oled Tv and monitor, I doubt anything else can satisfy me, which slims my choices significantly… any thoughts on screen blade 16 vs legion 9i and fan noice of both aforementioned?

    • @tinybit780
      @tinybit780 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I like using Mini-LED screens when it's bright because of sunlight or lights in the room. OLED screens don't do as well when it's bright around them and Blade is quite reflective because of its glossy screen. So, if you use your device where there's a lot of light, like near windows during the day or outside, I think Mini-LED is better.
      For movies or games with lots of dark scenes, OLED screens look amazing because they show deep blacks really well. Better Motion Clarity and response times are great for competitive shooters.
      But, if you're watching something colorful and bright plus HDR with higher brightness, Mini-LED screens look great too.
      I think the Legion 9i has the best Mini-LED screen I've seen. Blacks look really good for not being OLED. It's even better than the Blade 16 from last year because it doesn't have as much blooming.
      Mini-LED screens are good for a lot of different situations, but I just can’t forget how awesome OLED screens can look when the conditions are just right.
      This is the dilemma after trying both, Blade 16 Oled and Legion 9i.
      I think, you can go with either and it really depends on how you use it. You game at night mainly? Take OLED. You like to play during the day with windows nearby? Take Mini-LED.
      Fan noise:
      Blade 16's fans are always on, even in idle and when set to silent. This happens less often with the Legion 9i.
      On performance/turbo, however, both are damned loud, the Blade with slightly less dBs but with a higher frequency when played on a desk.
      Balanced, both are quite comparable and still quite loud, but you lose a lot of power. I had Blades before and they were quieter on balanced, this seems to have changed.
      That's why the G16 can be interesting if it achieves a similar wattage while being quieter than its counterparts on balanced. Blade 16 and Legion 9i only have 95-110w on balanced.
      About the Blade: It seems that the 4090 version is a bit quieter than the 4080 because it generates less heat. I only had the 4080 Blade.

    • @kmdkmd-jz8pv
      @kmdkmd-jz8pv 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I had the 9i before the blade 16 oled and the oled wins it for me. The difference in motion for faced paced games is much much better.

  • @tinybit780
    @tinybit780 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Ok, this will be a tough decision to make now: G16 2024 with 4090, Legion 9i 4090 or Blade 16 2024 with 4080. All three have more or less the same price here. Performance to the G16 will be similar, especially because I tend to use the Blade or Legion not in Turbo/performance mode because they are too loud then :) On Balanced, they hover at around 95-115W. Noise level is the same as G16 with Turbo then probably.

    • @tinybit780
      @tinybit780 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      After my testing with the Blade 16 4080 I share a lot of Alex said, just some differences:
      - The touchpad still has palm rejection issues, this has been stated in several other reviews of this 2024 model
      - The click is a bit too stiff for me personally, Legion 9i has a more smooth click IMO.. but on the other side, I had several Blades with a different tension, perhaps this model was not adjusted well
      - I don't know what they have changed, but the Blade 16 4080 is much louder this year and the fans are never off, unlike the Legion 9i 2024 for example, ... Alex, you seem to have a way quieter machine, perhaps it's due to the 4090 which generates less heat. Mine was more than 52 dB from 15cm difference, similar to Legion 9i.
      Probably going to try the Blade 16 4090 after this review. And the G16 4090 which is available now.

      Alex, did you see a difference in reflection handling between G16 and Blade 16? Or do they share the same Gorilla glass coating probably? At least Asus says they are using Gorilla which is less prone to reflections.. Razer, no idea what kind of glossy coating they use but I assume it's the same than what Asus is using. It was quite reflective IMO.

      Aren't they limiting their 4090 to 110w or something like that? If so it won't be a good showing for Asus, compared to Razer's 175w. Check out some of the G14 reviews that are starting to pop up - the 4070 is running at 82w and showing to be quite a bit slower than last year's Zephyrus 4070. I'd expect similar from a relatively low TGP 4090.

    Hey my friend, when are you guys going to be reviewing the HP Omen Transcend 14? It's in my shortlist with the G14 but I'm very interested in seeing how it performs, thanks a lot 😁

    • @Antwort2und40
      @Antwort2und40 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I got one, it’s really well built, I personally like the keycaps, and the fan noise is deeper and quiet than most (not objectionable), but they have nerfed the 4070-it’s running at 50w. It performs at a similar level to my Asus Z13 with 4060, and that’s also running a 50w gpu. Crazy disappointing.

    Thank you for the wonderful review. I am considering buying one this year. Would you recommend an Oled or miniled panel for this model, cause I heard some voice complaining about the burning problem of oled screen (asus doing pixel shifting to avoid this, tho), whereas it seems the reaction speed is a real issue for miniled as well.

    • @fidelisitor8953
      @fidelisitor8953 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I'll be getting the OLED version. The vibrant colours that just pop and the faster response times of OLED is simply unmatched.
      Pixel shifting is on all current gen OLED laptop panels so the blade's got it too. I was torn between this and the new g16 but I decided a 115W 4090 + non HX CPU won't cut it.

    I feel like all aluminum builds are a big mistake for laptops with dedicated gpus. Mac is able to do it because they dont get hot, and I really wish gaming laptop manufacturers would stop trying to mimic mac form factors. These heavily priced Blades notoriously suffer from battery swell due to bad heat management over time. Take the ProArt 16. It might be a tank but I would bet it's spacious magnesium alloy body stands the test of time better then the Blade 16s.
