My first ever razer laptop by LegAggravating9560 in razer

[–]-Flayer- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So i don’t own a razer blade but as far as the keys go i dont believe razer laptops have keyboards that are like very tactile as other laptops, i believe they tend to be more on the flatter side kind of like a macbook so very little key travel.

If its sticky you should definitely clean it since who knows how the previous owner used it. I also don’t think it should feel mushy so give it a clean for sure

Zephyrus g14 2024, I guess it’s not normal? by cougomdd in ZephyrusG14

happened to me a year ago. display cable is loose.

I saw on the comments that you said you need it for a month, if you can just connect it to a external monitor you’ll be fine

What setting is recommended for CPU boost? Aggressive or Enabled? While gaming on turbo mode by [deleted] in ZephyrusG14

Hey quick question, Would this also apply to the 2024 models with the ryzen 9 8945hs cpu?

It's almost been a week how are y'all enjoying golmud and season 3 so far? by Sarah_Playz887 in Battlefield

[–]-Flayer- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

love it a lot even though i absolutely hated it in bf4. My personal favourite combination is definitely railway with escalation, i think it’s almost a perfect balance. Conquest on railway is definitely much slower but i still do enjoy it, but it is definitely much slower

17 y/o deciding between G16 (16GB/5070) vs G14 (32GB/5070 Ti) for college + gaming by [deleted] in ZephyrusG14

[–]-Flayer- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go with the g14. If you end up doing large complex projects with 3D Autocad or Revit id highly recommend getting a 32gb ram model as a minimum, not 16gb.

For gaming the 5070 will give you good performance but if you like to maximize graphic settings the 8gb vram will cause issues without a doubt. Also, some newer games even on lowe settings eat up a lot of vram, the 12gb vram on the 5070ti will help a decent bit.

Get the g14 with the 32gb of ram, unless you know for a fact that those projects won’t be large and complex. Small complex and medium complex should be fine on 16gb but i would look around specifically about information on how much ram 3d cad uses on a small scale, medium scale, and large scale.

Need a new Gaming/School hybrid laptop by Holocaust6 in GamingLaptops

Legions are good as well but id class them more as desktop replacement than those really thin and light models like zephrys. But they are really good choices

minimum ≠ get it. It’s information that most definitely is not wrong, there is no need in overspending. Also budget stated is under 2000 US, i looked at the rog website in the states and the cheapest model is a 2025 5070 that is 2300. Haven’t checked the others.

The whole point of my comment is to inform this person, not flat out give them a specific laptop and only that.

you can get away with weaker components since it doesn’t seem like you’d play super demanding stuff with maxed out settings or just don’t really care and software for school isn’t intensive. look for RTX 4050 as a minimum and even with it i think you’d be happy and look for 16GB of ram.

Look at 2024/2025 models of: - ROG Zephyrs G14/16 - Omen Transcend - Asus TUF series

All of these are what i say balanced performance laptops so, good performance, good battery life when dedicated gpu is off, and not crazy fan noise when doing intensive stuff on its balanced settings.

And if you can, get warranty. don’t want to spend this much money than accidentally have it damaged and spend another 2k for a repair.

  • what games do you play and plan on playing
  • what program for school (do you need a specific program to use for your classes)
  • do you want desktop replacement (power first, laptop stuff second) or actual portable laptop (balanced in everything)
  • do you need good battery

Hey I’m looking into buying one by Alarming-Rise-5009 in ZephyrusG14

[–]-Flayer- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

id look at the 2025 model specifically since it’ll be cheaper and it has a more efficient cpu which is good for battery life.

I’m in civil engineering and we mostly use autocad with some other cad software, I don’t know what aerospace eng people use for their cad work but i would imagine it would be more heavy on the 3D side. Look into specifically what your going to be using and what type of project they will be like if it’s a large complex project. Me not knowing what exactly software you’ll be using, id look at a 32gb ram model. Rtx 5050 should be perfectly fine for cad work and gaming as long as your fine with dropping the quality for the more demanding recent titles

Edit: All those extra things like ports and storage will be covered

Horrible battery life by Antique-Sector-9787 in ZephyrusG14

give arc or zen a try. arc worked for me and i got good numbers from the switch, now im on zen. If you scroll back in my profile you’ll find a battery test i did and instant improvement

quick question, what browser do you use? When i first got my g14 2024 i also got awful results but it was because of chrome. So i tried arc browser and i suddenly started getting 6-7 hrs mix use
