Reviews for the Razer Blade 17 RTX 3080 Ti
The original Blade 17 design launched in 2019 with a target TGP of only 100 W. Fast-forward to 2022 and Razer has significantly upped the target to 165 W without any major changes to the chassis. Are there any repercussions users can expect from the more power-hungry internals?

Just in case it wasn’t obvious throughout this article, we really like the Razer Blade 17 (2022). Except for a few minor caveats, there really isn’t much to complain about. The chassis is well-built, attractive, and has a premium feel. We absolutely love the high-refresh rate, NVIDIA G-Sync-enabled display, which hits the sweet spot for a system this size. The panel looks fantastic and its resolution is a perfect match for the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, which managed to put up smooth, triple-digit framerates across the board. The Razer Blade 17’s integrated THX-enabled multi-speaker system is among the best we’ve heard in a laptop yet, its keyboard and trackpad are very good, and there’s plenty of various IO options on-board. If you’re shopping for a flagship, no-compromise gaming notebook, the latest Razer Blade 17 should be on your short list. The Razer Blade 17 looks and performs great and the user experience is top-notch as well.

The Razer Blade 17 is a solid gaming laptop that I’d expect to find in the mid-$2,000 range. You might be thinking that price is a bit too low for a laptop that’s as powerful as the Razer Blade 17. Well, power only goes so far. People need to see what they paid for, and if all they’re seeing is a far too dim display that belongs on a Chromebook, they’re not getting what they paid for. If you have money to blow, consider the Alienware x17 R2 ($4,800). It’s also stupid expensive, but at least you get a pleasantly bright display. Overall, the Razer Blade 17 is a solid gaming laptop for those that can find it at a discount and are willing to look at a different panel configuration.

Touching on the last year-to-year change that you might frequently use, Razer’s 1080p Windows Hello webcam has received some noticeable improvements. While it still produces a grainy image that struggles with exposure, the color accuracy, white balance, and detail are good enough to rely on in a pinch. It’s a noticeable improvement over the 720p cameras that Razer previously used, but it’s relative. Most laptop webcams are still bad, but this one’s much less bad than before. Still, you may just want to get a better webcam if you live in Zoom during the workday. A buying decision for a big, expensive gaming laptop usually weighs heavily on how powerful it is and how much it costs. But if your list of criteria also includes a laptop with an appealing and thin design, a stellar keyboard and trackpad, alongside a bunch of power, the Blade 17 is one of a few options out there at all to meet your needs. And thankfully, this year’s model is a particularly good, if still quite expensive, one.

Model:
Razer Blade 17 (2022) is the famous gaming laptop which comes with a bunch of upgrades including the Intel's 12th Gen processors and a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080TI. The Razer Blade 17 includes the AC adapter, documentation, and a Razer logo sticker. Razer includes a two-year limited battery warranty as standard, along with the basic one-year limited laptop warranty, with every new 12th-generation Blade model purchased. The external chassis is the same as last year's model, but there are two key visual differences. First, the keyboard's keycaps are now larger than those on older models. Second, you now only see three fans through the grille on the bottom of the unit, not four, since Razer has removed one of the fans.
As for the display, the 17 inch IPS display fully covers the DCI-P3 color gamut to meet the needs of digital artists, while offering fast black and white response times, fast refresh rates, and the G-Sync compatibility gamers want. The webcam is 1080p or 2-megapixel, and unlike the 720p or 1-megapixel webcams on most other laptops, it has a sharper image. The Razer Blade 17 is equipped with DDR5 memory as standard for the first time, and can be equipped with an RTX 3080Ti graphics chip with built-in 16GB DDR6 memory. User can also opt for the RTX 3070 Ti, which Razer says is 70 percent faster than the 2020 RTX 2070 and can output up to 100fps at 1440p. The Blade 17 is one of the few gaming laptops that supports advanced optimizations, which means users can switch between optimized and dGPU G-Sync modes without rebooting.
Port options remain the same as the 10th Gen Intel model except for one key difference. Both USB-C ports now support Thunderbolt instead of just one. To accommodate this year's more demanding processors, the 2022 Blade 17 comes with a higher-capacity 280-watt AC adapter. The new model is also compatible with last year's AC adapter, but performance may suffer as the newer 2022 model uses a larger-capacity 280-watt adapter. The battery capacity is larger than the 2021 Blade 17 due to the elimination of the fourth fan. However, there is no improvement in battery life as the CPU and GPU requirements are higher with this update. It takes about 90 minutes to go from empty to full with the included AC adapter. USB-C charging is supported which is a plus. In conclusion, Razer has tweaked the laptop accordingly to accommodate with higher power requirements by the new hardwares although it is at the expense of a cooling fan. With such a strong focus on performance, the 165W GPU in the Razer is able to outperform most other laptops with the same GPU.
