Razer Shadow

[Crazy Ginger]

At first I was wondering, “Why the fuck did razer think it was a good idea to put the track pad where the number key pad should be?”  Then I saw the cutaway view showing that they used the space to put in a larger battery.  I am still not very happy with the decision to put the battery there, but in this case, I can understand why.  It is to make the battery’s shape as simple and large as possible without having to make the battery a rather strange shape.  I would prefer to have a numpad for number data entry, but this is a gamer focused laptop. And I guess having the numpad off to the side is more ergonomic than a numpad in the center of the device.

Also, the charging port looks suspiciously like a magsafe charging port.  If it is a magnetic charging cable like magsafe, that would be amazing.  Though it seems a bit too deep to be that, it’s hard to tell without seeing what the charging connector looks like.  I guess I’ll have to wait to see video of it before making a judgment on that

It's seriously awesome laptop though. And thin too!

What I like is that Razer is able to cram a GTX1080 in there while Apple's struggling with a GT750M in a design that's about the same thickness "because heat".

You do know Razers other laptops are ovens right....?

DAMN razer caught me with my pants down

[Dackzy]

Yey another stove with quality control problems.

Also if I was Lenovo then I would sue them.

That is a huge lie, the Lenovo Y900 has a "ultra-low-profile" mech keyboard, last I checked the Lenovo Y900 was here before the Stove Pro with a 1080.

Razer could you please make the logo on the back RGB. For the love of GOD! *takes a deep breath* Thank you. Like it's not the end of the world. And I can respect company pride. But you've done it on a bunch of your other products; could you please do it here for consistency, and my OCD lol. My keyboard being one color but the back logo always green. Ik ik, you usually wont see it cause it's on the back. But still lol. I feel like it shouldn't be that crazy or difficult to implement. But what do I know. xP

GTX 1080 and a HQ processor.  Can you say thermal throttling?

That's because Apple actually cares about trying to limit heat. Razer on the other hand just lets the CPU and GPU throttle constantly.

Compare the prices however.....

...fuck that trackpad position  

[VerticalDiscussions]

That laptop specifications are godlike!

 

Awesome design, awesome display, awesome GPU, good CPU, awesome memory configuration and random access memory, awesome keyboard combination, evolutive ports, etc...!

 

But, :(, so expensive and even if i could buy it, i live in the worst place in the world for shipping lol .-.

 

(FML, gonna go live for 1 year in the Rocky Mountains just to get the awesome US products, if i get a chance xD).

It bothered me too, but you know what, it may not be that bad after all. It is on the side where most people have their mice. I'd have to play with it first, but I think it may be a good experience.

Except that the build quality is bad and the CPU and GPU will throttle like a motherfucker. Also, hopefully the keyboard is actually good because it's not great on their other blades.

It has a nice enclosure, but the quality control is still pretty bad. I'm sure @Dackzy or @don_svetlio will come ranting about it at some point.

don is no longer with us. He got banned.

Build quality cannot be good as long as they put it poorly together and have zero quality control.

IMO the mods overreacted. He is known for poking a bit to people, but he never did anything that was really bad. He could be a bit rude, but I have seen people on here that are way worse than him.

Well, but as long as they dont follow the rules it is in theyr power to enforce such punishment i suppose. Also some people are pretty sensitive...

yep. I don't know about you, but here in Denmark we generally say things more straight, according to some of my friends from other countries and I call really feel the effect of it online.

 

All of those SJW and safespace people are starting to affect the whole web and there are more and more too sensitive people. It is fine to be sensitive, but you should learn to not take things personally before going online and out in the real world.

[SurvivorNVL]

Well, shit.  I could've gotten that, but all these new AK's are equally as sweet    I really hope that there is a Nuc in the future, like the Skull Canyon, with a six core, and double-sided m.2 ports for 4 M.2 ssd's on sata or PCIE.  That'd be great.

[Tiuqu]

It looks really good, they have even put a TPM 2.0 module innit

 

The only weird decision in this "pro" case is opting for RAID 0 instead of RAID 1

Why?

does this really need a 1080

4K screen, yes it really does. 

[elfensky]

I wish they put a numpad instead of the touchpad there. a 17" without a numpad is a big no-no for me. Or they could have kept the screen, and made the numpad appear on it, when you're using an external mouse.
