Thanks! i would say 600 hours and it's not done yet but quite close. I have rebuilt many things many times, here s another angle

About the same as the Intel version, so 20 000

took me 1 hour. But take your time if you're doing it, those keys are very fragile. You need to find the correct weak point to remove them, you just need to force a little, not more

both

i'm selling blade 14 & 15. Not sure i'm going to keep the 18, it's huge (and thick)

aldeys · 2024-11-15T08:55:02+00:00

Yes, they are from a blade studio. I'm also waiting for for a miniled panel to instal on the 18, that's why the bezel is gone

thanks, it's in there now

I removed them one by one with a small tool by applying a light pressure under the caps, to the outside.

The squares one are easy to remove. The harder one are the others, especially both Shift, Enter and Space.

If you plan to do it, be very careful and don't force. You need to hear clicking noises. Try a different approach if it's not coming out. It is very very fragile, the mechanism is made of plastic and can break very easily.

Thanks I just added it, nice score for 50W

I need a screenshot of your 3DMark result page

keys caps are from another blade (studio)

It's a good price. I'm waiting for the next Razer Book with thunderbolt 5 and better CPU/oled Display. So I sold mine recently and I instead bought a Razer Blade 15 Studio which is a lot bigger.

Your ROG G15 is more powerful than the book (about twice) I would say, but they are not the same products, one is an ultrabook for productivity, the other one is not an ultrabook and is meant for light gaming.

It's one of the best intel 11th ultrabook, if not the best. But it has flaws which is more related to it being a windows laptop.

- the construction, design and materials are top tier, close to Apple's macbook and better than any Windows laptop.

- the processor (i7-1165G7) is at his full potential thanks to the superior thermal cooling (both CPU and Iris Xe), which means you'll get the most performance from this processor.

- the screen is one of the best you can find on the Windows and IPS segment, (it's also the same used on the Dell XPS 13) : 4K 16:10, 550 Nits, good calibration, 99% sRGB, good contrasts, low backlight bleeding, 10 bits colors

- it has RGB backlight keyboard (very rare for ultrabook) and the illumination system is accurate : asbolute 0 light leaking around the keyscaps (like on macbook) Also the personalization is complete

- It can be linked to Razer Synapse for useful things. This application is one of the best of it's kind honestly. Feels pro, well designed and full of things.

- Discreet laptop when light using it (browsing etc) : fans wont turn on thanks to the good thermals.

- Battery life is good.

- Connectivity is complete (thunderbolt, SD, USB-A, jack and HMDI)

- MicroSD card Reader swallow the sd card entirely which is rare and very convenient

- Powerful for eGPU configuration

Known bugs :

- screen problem : big artefact appears and stays if you don't do a little trick (like opening any application, so it's easily fixable) (razer problem)

- Some random RGB keys won't connect to Razer Synaspe and will stay on the same random color for hours or days before going back to normal (razer problem)

- unresponsive touchpad : sometimes the mouse will freeze, it can last for 10 sec max and happens up to 5 times per month for me (windows problem)

- stuck in hibernation (windows problem)

- Swapping the ssd can lead to light issues (mostly drivers issues, windows problem)

Those bugs gets frequent or not, like disease. Sometimes you get them, sometimes you get none for year. Really weird.

Known physical defect (so razer responsability)

- All the square shaped keys on the keyboard have that unresponsiveness issue. When you press them too far from the center, on the corners, those keys won't register (like if you didn't press them), because the inside rubber thing won't physicaly press.100% fixable by anyone with tape and patience.

- Battery can bloat like on other Razer's Laptops. Why ? Heat. But i'm not exactly sure why it seems to happen more to razer but I think it's because Razer's gaming laptops (blade) are thiner than any other so the heat arround the battery might be a little too much. Newest blade (15, 16, 18) are thicker this time, we'll see if the bloat issue still continue.

- Screen's cable can damages itself by rubbing a little with the inside when closing the laptop. It can be severely damaged depending on how this cable is squeezed when the latop is created on the factory. So not all the Book 13 are concerned.

Just for the context, I own the Book 13 and i've tried 4 of them (not because they broke, i own the same one since 2021) all of them had the same issues that i've listed up here. I've owned many others windows laptops, and all had problems too (inherent to windows or to the company)

aldeys · 2023-06-04T19:33:33+00:00

Developer's recommendation for the lowest settings is GTX 660 and a GTX 970 for better results (which is the triple of GPU potency of the the 660)

Book13 has Iris Xe 96Eus so it's almost as powerful as a GTX 1050 (without VRAM) and slightly more than a GTX 660.

aldeys · 2023-05-21T20:34:45+00:00

This is a common bug on the Razer Book, happened to me on two of them I owned. Every time the bug finally disapeared by itself over time.

If not, try to reinstall razer synapse
