Blade 18

Same issue, ran for a year or so then began overheating more and more, to the point where it shuts down if I even open a game. Repasting didn’t fix anything. It seems like the vapor chamber in the heatsink has a defect that causes it to break from normal use. I strongly recommend that people who can

You sacrifice a lot going clean and neat, I promise. They look great and portable but having such a small chassis really hinders the whole point of buying one for the hardware they’ve crammed into it. I’ve read the 18” handles it better but I’ve had the 2024 Blade 16 with the 4090 for a while and wo

I had noticed that the model with the visible filler seemed to be the model that didn't have the problem, because mine doesn't have the visible filler. I disassembled my heatsink with a heat gun. I'll share the photos. https://imgur.com/a/O5b8rg0 I did this because I thought about fixing the laptop

Very interesting post. I see both the KingMa (I had never heard of this one, definitely checking it out) and SlimQ have non grounded plugs. Does this cause a vibrating sensation on the blade itself? One of the reasons I use Apple's and Razer's original Power bricks with my MacBook Pro and Blade 18 i

Absolutely keep the box and packaging. They do not send you a box to put stuff in. I had this with a Blade 16 I eventually returned in favour of the 18, but it was not the best experience. It has been a tight squeeze but manged to get it into a backpack designed for a 16inch laptop. It will vary bet

I wonder what kind of major design flaws the 2026 Blades will have. Hey downvoters: maybe you're too braindead to realize that EVERY Blade release has had MAJOR design flaws that cause the laptops to become virtually unusable. Then again, what would this sub be without braindead Razer fanboy zombies

I bought the 2023 blade 18. After about 18 months the hinges started to wobble. Razer wouldn’t sell me another set of hinges. They quoted me 300 to replace the hinges if I sent it in. I offered to pay the 300 and just send me the hinges. Still wouldn’t do it. Ended up buying a used display panel off

Your previous build would be a decent amount faster. The laptop 3080 is more like an underpowered desktop 3070. https://www.notebookcheck.net/GeForce-RTX-3080-Laptop-GPU-vs-GeForce-RTX-3070_10474_10559.247598.0.html The 3080 laptop has the same memory and about 4% more cores, but the cores are around

dont know if OP is still here, but would be really cool to know about the state of this laptops vapor chamber. based on some previous reddit reports, which are now dated three years old, back then liquid metal was not so kind to copper with a lot of consequences. personally, i had padded my whole di

I bought a second hand razer blade 18 from a scummy ebay seller who just said that it gets hot. Opened it up and found that they had shoehorned a razer blade 17 heatsink into it(mounting holes are different so it doesn't work). They must've had this problem and just passed the problem on. Razer not
