This year’s Razer Blade 16 makes some big upgrades above ground, but under the hood the brand is still hamstrung by smaller iterative updates in Intel’s 14th generation processors and no new GPUs on the market. The new Blade still comes in more expensive than last year’s model, though - and that’s down to the big shiny OLED panel up top. Like many of the best gaming laptops on the market, the Blade 16 prioritizes quality of life updates in its latest iteration - but these boosts aren’t going to be worth the high asking price if you haven’t been preparing for this purchase for a while now. I’ve spent the last three weeks testing the Razer Blade 16, alongside the Asus ROG Flow X16, to see exactly what a cool $4,199 gaming laptop can offer.
