Well done on the video, big improvements from your first videos on the flow and videography side of things, subbed and liked. I have the 3070ti qhd 240 hz model, and apart from a few annoyances, I love the machine, definitely recommend it.
Hi mate. Im also considering the 3070ti qhd. I have a feeling it's the sweet spot for gaming. I think the 4K + 3080ti will run much hotter. I'm still trying to decide between the Blade 17 and x17-R2. Have you had any technical issues with your unit? I'm worried about Razers process if something should need to be repaired or returned. In the past models Razer had some QC complaints. Dell probably has much better service and warranty. It's a shame because I prefer the look of the Blade 17 over the x17 R2.
Thanks man. I think it’s a big improvement over the model we had last year. The CPU performance is the only thing they need to fix and maybe reduce the weight a bit. They’re close to having the absolute best gaming laptop
If you need a portable high performance 17 inch then the scar for its lower weight or the blade for its thinness and smaller brick. If it's mostly going to be sitting at your desk and occasionally being transported around locally, I still love the GE76. The Alienware if you need 4K and still want to game as the gsync really helps with stopping screen tearing. So I didn't answer lol. It depends on what's a priority to you. Let me know what that is and I can steer you better

Not sure what you are talking about the when you say the 16 inch MacBook Pro has added reverb or sounds artificial. As a musician I can tell you the MacBook Pro speakers are substantially better than any other laptop I own. And are definitely better than the Scar or the Blade.
Yeah they are absolutely better. But there’s still something artificial about the sound like there’s some type of post processing or effects. I mean they have to be doing something to get those small drivers to sound so grand. I’m a bit of a musician myself. I’ve been recording all of my introductions from scratch on keyboard and guitar and mixing them. Not saying these intros are Grammy worthy lol but I think I have a good ear for good and natural sound. regardless, I would always rather use headphones to mix tracks. I could have been a bit more clear that overall that the MacBook are still the best by far though.
@@consumertechwarehouse Not sure if you are confusing the THX on Windows laptops that does add reverb and artificial sound processing. This type of processing not exist on MacBooks. Also perhaps you are hearing Dolby Atmos in Apple Music?

@@dirkclaessens1152 same!! I think windows laptop makers are getting better and better every year.

@@AmericaWhatsup no there just an artificial surround sound stage on the MacBook and Asus ROG laptops I can't quite put my finger on. They sound amazing and class leading. But there's always something in the back of my mind saying that they had to digitally process the sound to get it to sound like this. I didn't get that feeling with the razer and why I compared it to a traditional stereo setup. All in all, MacBook speakers sound way better than any windows laptop.
I’m going to try really hard not to be when I do the review next week. I’ve had really bad long term issues with Alienware and dell. But that was like 3 years ago so I’m looking at this from a blank slate. So far it’s really good though. Need to do some more testing and use it a bit more before I feel comfortable getting on camera and giving my opinions
Would you recommend the 4k panel for an MMO like guild wars 2 over a qhd display? I know some of the specs like gpu is overkill but just curious I'm mainly an MMO gamer but considering the exact same speced razer 17 for movies and work as well Great vid!!
I'm not an MMO player so I don't know how important frame rates are on those particular titles. But if I had to guess...just from playing action rpg games and stuff 144hz is plenty. Plus I think you'll be better served for movies and work with the brighter 4K panel.
I have the 2022 i9 and i love it. This would be yhe perfect laptop if it wasn't for the thermals... The cpu gets way too hot. Ive tried re-paste, pads and just about everything but i can't cool the laptop down. I find the deck gets too warm too, around the left bottom 😔
I wish it didn’t get so warm at the bottom too. But overall it’s a great laptop. So refined. I almost want them to have an AMD option so thermals and battery could be better if people want the choice.
@@consumertechwarehouse yeah man. How do you game on long sessions without your hand setting on fire? Controller would be perfect i suppose but thats the whole point of using a laptop
@@StevenGomz44 yeah. Ive used a laptop stand and even put books on each corner avoiding the fans and still doesn't improve. Bottom of the laptop isn't that hot tbh it's the keyboard deck( warm to touch) i love the laptop so much im happy to keep it. Stupid i know but i love it 😀
The scar with the 3070 ti if you're price conscious. The difference between the 15 and 17 is hard to answer. They both should perform the same. It's deciding between a larger screen with less portability than a 15 inch that you can carry around easier
Hi again ! Very nice video ! As maybe you remember im looking for 3080ti laptop, still :) As you have tested all models i am thinking about i got question: 1. Which you would recommend from those ? MSI, Asus, Razer, or Alienware ? I believe u tezted x17 r2? Which GPU? 2. As far as i know MSI doesnt have optimus or g-sync, Razer got G Sync and and Asus got advanced Optimus. Which display is best for gaming ? I want QHD 240hz. Could you notice lack of optimus/g sync on MSI?? This is my last problem with choice… i always had g sync and i dont know what can i expect. Was Asus display more „smooth” or sth like that?
So if you want QHD, the x17 is probably out. It comes in either 4k or 1080p. Plus the one I have is a 3070 ti version. The MSI ge series does have a mux switch so you can use dgpu. Honestly at 240hz you don’t dint really need gsync that much. The refresh rate is so fast that it looks smooth and doesn’t screen tear. I think the display on all of them are fairly equivalent and similar. I llhavent seen the QHD panel on the scar 17 yet but I would think that all 3 are similar. If you really really want gsync though, razer is your only option. But I promise you won’t be missing much by going with the scar 17 or ge76 without gsync
Thats interesting. As far as i know if you were using g sync for long time u will notice lack of it. Also i read that 240Hz display is fast ye and you will not notice any problem as far you can reach high FPS. But on lower FPS, like they said ~60fps even then without g sync you can notice that the game is not so smooth, and thats what i would like to know from you :) did u have any issue with MSI, which has none of the sync ? Any tearing or any feeling „that is not so smooth”? Cause for example Cyberpunk at 1440p high setting you resch abt ~65fps ye? And then the problems can appear.
Well the screen is still refreshing at 240hz even if the game is running at 60hz so it still looks really smooth . I’ll do some testing on cyberpunk specifically when I can. But I remember playing red dead and it looked incredibly smooth. But I’ll follow up and let you know
Thanks a lot :) try to check with high settings and just run with fast changing angle, i mean look fast right and immediately look fast left, do it bery quick and few times and check if u can see any kind of tearing or sth like that. As i was reading, on 240Hz no g sync monitor u can get some tearing or st least feeling that this is not so smooth cause it is fast moves on lower fps when the display tries to refresh it much faster. That would be a very nice if you can check that. Also, do you still have Asus ? Would be nice to compare it to Asus as well, cause it has Adaptive Sync and Advanced Optimus, which MSi doesnt. Last question, are u playing in some mmo games ? Like wow, overwatch or lol? It is also very important for me, cause i play this games and i am afraid to have any kind of tearing due to lack of g sync, cause that games are fast ones
I play tons of overwatch and I prefer to play on the ge76. I think ultimately if you’re concerned by not having gsync and you don’t mind paying the extra for the razer blade 17, go for it all 3 are amazing. Also the 2022 scar series doesn’t have advanced Optimus or gsync. Last year’s model had freesync but no mux switch so it wasn’t great for playing fast paced games
Hi really appreciate the videos! Two questions for you. 1. What is the battery life like? 2. Will you be covering the new 4k 144hz model coming out in a few weeks? Appreciate it!
I really hope Razer improved the durability of the keyboard RGB LEDs. At work we use a couple of previous generation Razer 17 models and all of them have burned out LEDs. Not what I expected from premium laptops. 👎
That sucks. I haven’t heard of much issues like that but if you guys are using them for work it’s probably getting more use than from a typical consumer. What year blade 17s were those?
@@consumertechwarehouse Let me explain it this way. I am still running a MSI Stealth ghost pro from 2015 that has seen some extensive use. Both the battery and webcam have croaked but the steelseries RGB keyboard is still working like a charm.
Really happy you asked that. No. But to me it’s the most interesting consumer tech segment right now. As it becomes more commoditized I’ll move on to other stuff. There’s lots of other aspects of tech I want to cover that I feel I can cover in the same level of detail as I do with laptops. We’ll see what happens in the future.
@@consumertechwarehouse I don't see any advantages for the Z17 against the Z16p to be honest (except 1"screen difference). Z16p has vapor chamber cooling
I sell lots of my stuff on eBay as I clear them out to make way for new items. If you’re interested in something let me know. The blade 17 I sold just on Friday. If you’re looking for one I can help you find inventory

There’s lots of other aspects of tech I want to cover that I feel I can cover in the same level of detail as I do with laptops. We’ll see what happens in the future.
@@consumertechwarehouse but you don’t denounce the possibility of continuing to review laptops as you would with other tech as you just mention
Oh I’m going to definitely be heavily focused on covering laptops long term. It’s what I’m most passionate about!
@@consumertechwarehouse I don't see any advantages for the Z17 against the Z16p to be honest (except 1"screen difference). Z16p has vapor chamber cooling
Yep. That’s what it seems like on my end. Though that extra inch makes a pretty big difference in terms of screen size.
just saying if u dont want it im down to buy it off u
I sell lots of my stuff on eBay as I clear them out to make way for new items. If you’re interested in something let me know. The blade 17 I sold just on Friday. If you’re looking for one I can help you find inventory
Big ups to Consumertech always on point and gives you the best recommendations 💪💪 and what I like he isn’t paid by these companies cough cough “Linus” he gives you his real reviews and what to expect
lol thanks man
