Apple Intelligence is for the Stupid Ones

Why can’t they put a full sized keyboard for that big 18 inch laptop. Waste of space. Having a num pad on the side is way better because it is faster to type and can type one hand for that one it is way easier specially when typing password or doing excel like seriously all 16 inch above laptop should have a full sized keyboard.

Just put it on a stand to raise the monitor to your eyes line and use an external mouse and keyboard 🤷🏻♂️

We are all different if it had numpad I would definitely not buy it so the reason you don’t like it is exact reason I bough it
Nathan Juan
February 9, 2023 at 12:38 am
@Goran 1st it looks ugly on a 16 to 18 inch the space gap between the keyboard and the space it waste 2nd for productivity it makes you type slower the advantage of having a num pad typing with just one hand is a breeze even for gaming playing GTA V with no controller good luck on flying a plane, submarine, and chopper. The usefulness of num pad vs no num pad weather its gaming or doing productivity stuff working or student is greater. They keep on copying apple.

The “laptop” form factor it’s just wrong for these kind of beast PCs.
I would much prefer they pack all the hardware in a box and sell it as a MiniPC.
Let’s be real, as pointed in the video 15″ screens are small for gaming and productivity, 20+ inch screens take too much space, but what if you let the user decide?
With a MiniPc you can choose the monitor you prefer and most importantly, mount it on a stand to align it with your eyes and not having the neck curved down.
Laptop keyboard are kinda meh for gaming and the touchpad is a backup solution if you don’t have a mouse. Battery life will probabily not pass the 2 hours mark, but with those dimensions and weight I doubt on the use on portability of this Pc.
Gamers and creators will probabily use this on a stand to raise the monitor or hooked to an external monitor and with their prefered keyboard and mouse, so a MiniPc with that power would work just fine and maybe save you some bucks.
Something like the Minisforum HX99 G (that comes for 1.100$ with 32gb of ram and 1 tera ssd) but made by more known companies would be great.

@Ashutosh Kureel higher end gaming laptops and MacBook aren’t for majority of people so of course both will be costly and would be considered overpriced for most people.

@rpcrl the third Fan ist in the middle of the splitted battery. It was the same as for the mid 2022 Blade 17. Unfortunately the left palm rest was getting very warm

Its a LAPTOP. I’v had a 17″ xps for a year and even as compact as it is a little too big. 15 and 16″ is definately the sweet. Thin light bezeless and powerful 15″ laptops are the way to go imo. If you’re gaming at home use an external gpu
Joseph K
February 8, 2023 at 2:36 pm
To each their own. I went from a 17″ to a Razer Blade 15″ 2 years ago. I miss the 17″ screen a lot. The 15″ does not do it for me and going forward, I will be more than willing to lose a bit of portability for screen real-estate.

What about how it sounds? Who allowed this to be published without once mentioning how it sounds for a gaming laptop? Seriously! What happened for you not to mention it once? Does anyone in the comment section know how this laptop sounds in general?
J DB
February 9, 2023 at 12:02 pm
because sound from a laptop is irrelevant, gamers use headphones, this being portable you could use it with Sony, apple, sennheiser wireless earbuds

@J DB It is not irrelevant. It is important to some if not most of us.

Razer is nickel and diming customers here. We know the 4000 series GPUs are expensive. Razed has decided to include Windows 11 Home edition on laptops which start at $3600 (16”) or more… Deal breaker for me due to their mentality.

OMG, that’s expensive. Who spends that much money to play video games? I know folks would say, they could use it for work also, etc etc…You can buy a PS5 an Xbox and a nice laptop for less.
Nathan Juan
February 9, 2023 at 12:49 am
Can you bring PS5 to a plane going out of the country or cruise? Seriously the reason for buying a gaming laptop is for portability. Also they use powerful laptop for productivity that needs a powerful CPU and GPU out in your house like video editing, graphics deign and other more. There is a lot of option than razer like ROG or even Legion for much cheaper price.
J DB
February 9, 2023 at 12:00 pm
if you’re gaming on a console thats your first mistake 😂
Mr Kx
February 9, 2023 at 1:27 pm
@Nathan Juan I understand the portability, I have a ROG I got for $1700 and it blasts through games and video apps. But over $4k for a laptop just blows my mind. Maybe I’m just cheap.
P41N
February 8, 2023 at 3:46 pm
about the function keys stuff.. i believe Lenovo does it the best with its legion series where you can fn escape to function lock the function row, that way you can quickly switch between whichever use you need for the key without having to open a software, or messing around in the bios
flameing rage
February 8, 2023 at 10:13 pm
Razer actually has that option in their synapses application that let’s you choose which you want as a default.
P41N
February 8, 2023 at 11:42 pm
@flameing rage is there a function lock system tho? like holding function and escape to switch between the function rows?
a lot of times when I play games or switch to video watching, i like switching between function buttons and volume buttons etc by the press of just one key combination instead of having to go into synapse and switching the default function..
that’s what I meant why I find legions convenient
flameing rage
February 9, 2023 at 12:11 am
@P41N ah yeah that would be more convenient have a default button. I see that on my Razer the synapse application has a Hypershift setting for the keyboard that allows you to have a second layout form you keyboard at a click of a button. So you if you take probably less than 3 minutes you can setup it up how you’d want it. Not as convenient as the Legion having it out of the box, but once you set it up once it’ll work the same way.

If you’re complaining about Function Keys to do Volume then you dislike the ENTIRE Razer Lineup, there has NEVER been a razer laptop that have the button/keys you’re talking about…. I mean they’re following Apple’s footprint on design language and Apple said get rid of F Keys all together. This is Razer’s attempt to do the same and well Windows uses F Keys. I’ve hackintoshed my Razer Blade and run Mac OS on mine and guess what??? No issues what so ever on the keys. So is it a Laptop Problem or an OS problem?
