Is the Razer Blade Pro 2016 the be-all and end-all of gaming laptops? At up to $4,500 for the top spec unit, I certainly hope so...

I wonder if this review is about the same quality as the recent ones from LTT

I haven't been keeping up with LTT videos for a few weeks. In your opinion, how have recent reviews been?

The video must be processing :(.

I hope they would be at least 2K if not 4K

Why did this video go to "private" automatically... Well, it should be working now.

What "is not a price you are willing to pay for them"?

I guess I don't see what you're pointing out in the picture. I have no idea what's wrong with the layout there.

@Aereldor, I suggest you watch the Korean Ulrawide review and look at the comments about how Linus didn't cover Freesync at all

Or on the Holiday Buyer's guide how Linus recommended a build with an S340 and a 5.25" Optical drive

 

@deXxterlab97 "Upping the recording quality, no matter the cost" ?!?

Right, I did see that one. Initially, I thought it was idiotic that Linus ignored the monitor's FreeSync capabilities and instead decided to talk about a 'surprise G-sync module', but then I remembered his disdain for multi-GPU solutions where a single, better GPU will outperform them, and that AMD's current flagship - the RX 480 - can't handle 3440x1440 at all. 

 

The holiday buyer's guide was pretty awful.

They actually... criticized something. It's been MONTHS since they actually criticized ANYTHING computer related. (Toys and kickfarted don't count.)

 

However, even though they made an apple quip, they made no comments on how "pro" this laptop is.

 

Because every professional (I'm talking media professional) would want a bright green laptop with RGB lit keys and a trackpad that takes up half of the space of where they keyboard should be.

You're talking like 3440x1440 is a massive af resolution. It's only 35% more pixels than 1440p, where an RX 480 can provide playable framerates. Still.

 

Could have strapped a Fury X in there just to test Freesync, you can hardly call the RX 480 a flagship. Another thing mentioned was that they tested CS: GO and that title sure can run at 3440x1440 on an RX 480.

Thanks for the TLDR

 

Sounds like just another new Razer product. Yay!

Good points there. I forgot that they tested Counterstrike, which anything can run. Sorry, I keep forgetting about the Fury X.

Don't worry, it's not like the Fury X destroyed the market. Maybe it would have, if AMD had priced it at $450 where it would squarely beat a 980 and rival a 980 Ti for less. Alas, now we get to buy one for $300 so yay!

What about that Vega card that was running the Battlefront Rogue One DLC at a locked 4k 60Hz at the AMD Ryzen event? If they price that at $400 or so, that'll result in a massive market share upset. I'm counting on the 8-core 16-thread processor they showed off being priced at around $550 as well.

2 tb nvme ssd's in raid 0.... whyyyyyyyyy? like I get it, fast like sanic but id much rather invest $4,000 (if I was made of money) on the same product without the raid config. for 400 bucks less. super happy to see this product based where it wasn't up to par. Linus nailed this and it's good to see him/them actually hardcore criticize a product when it deserves it.

I think we all know as well, that the 6900k is a $600 cpu that intel has ramped up in price because it was a monopoly in that performance point. im not even interested in buying either, my 6600k is just fine for me. but competition is always good for the consumer.

6900K only $600? Where?
