Razer Blade 2019 : The Ultra-Thin Stealth with 3 Variants

Kristen Brown — Mon, 23 Sep 2019 22:12:23 +0000

Who doesn’t know Razer Blade 2019? This gaming gear brand, this one, became one of the famous brands with the Blackwidow line as its Mechanical Keyboard and also the Deathadder line as their gaming Mouse. After success with other Gaming Gear, RAZER released an upgraded version of the Blade Stealth 13 line at 2019 IFA.

Following the development of current generation components, RAZER released three variants, two of which are almost exactly the same as the previous version, but the only difference is on the screen. Both types are called GTX Model by RAZER and use the 10th Gen i7-1065G7 processor.

Razer Blade 2019: Thin, Yet More Powerful

Both are also equipped with 16GB of DDR4 RAM, 512GB SSD PCIe M.2 storage and most importantly the GPU section that contains the Nvidia GTX 1650 4GB GDDR5. Maybe for some gamers who are always updated with new games will feel less, but this can be covered considering that this Razer laptop is included in a very thin Ultrabook.

The first and cheapest version is to use the 10th generation Intel processor and use an Intel IGP. Whereas the other two will use discrete GPUs, but one has a 1080p screen resolution and another uses a 4K screen.

For example, for the Stealth Mercury White range, users will get a laptop that has a new 10th Generation Intel Core i7-1065G7 Quad-Core processor that has a base clock of 1.3 GHz and a clock boost of 3.9 GHz, but only draws power equal to 25W.

This model of Razer Blade 2019 will use GPU Iris from Intel and has 256GB of storage. The use of 16GB of LPDDR4 3733MHz RAM in dual channel mode is embedded in this laptop to help the performance of Gen11 Iris Plus Graphics.

On the other hand, there will also be a GTX version of the Razer Blade Stealth 13 which presents the same Intel Core i7-1065G7 Quad-Core 10th Gen Processor which is the same as the previous version. However, this model will use a GTX 1650 GPU with 4GB GDDR5 VRAM.

This model will have a storage capacity of 512GB. As mentioned above, this model will have a 1080p panel option or will use a 4K UHD Touch Screen panel.

Razer Blade 2019 Release Date

Unfortunately, until now it is still unknown when Razer will officially launch this laptop. Likewise with the price, which until now has not been mentioned by them.

The difference itself for the highest type of screen is indeed 4K resolution, but it already supports touch screen with Gorilla Glass. While the lower version uses Matte FHD which is also a screen component for the third type of Blade Stealth 13, Mercury White.

This model is more intended for general needs and casual games that make the specifications quite different from the previous two even though it is filled by the same processor and RAM but only 256GB of storage, in terms of graphics alone using integrated GPU namely Intel Iris Graphic which is the latest Intel processor technology.

According to Razer Blade 2019, this product will be available at the end of this month with prices starting from 1499 USD.

Lenovo IFA 2019 : New Laptops and Monitors at One?

Laraina Stevens — Sat, 21 Sep 2019 23:34:50 +0000

At least, there are two new laptops introduced by Lenovo IFA 2019, namely L13 and L13 Yoga, which bring the legendary ThinkPad brand to a more affordable price. Among their latest ThinkPad lineups, Lenovo has also updated the X1 Carbon, X1 Yoga, X390 and T490 series, with the 10th generation Intel Core.

Lenovo IFA 2019: Realistic Market Target

The target market that Lenovo IFA 2019 wants to aim for through the latest ThinkPad laptops is young workers who are synonymous with a dynamic workspace. Lenovo promises their ThinkPad devices to answer the needs of young workers in terms of productivity, connectivity, and security.

“We know from users’ insights that the next-gen workforce expects a much more flexible work method. This includes the need to work from anywhere, anytime with the technology tools they have that are fast, safe, intuitive and mobile,” said Jerry Paradise, Vice President, Commercial Product and Portfolio Management, Lenovo’s Intelligent Devices Group, at the IFA 2019 stage which was also attended by the coil.

“Our unmatched ThinkPad laptop family gives business professionals better productivity, security and connectivity experience along with greater choices in choosing the right device for them,” he added.

To illustrate how Lenovo meets the needs of young workers, this latest ThinkPad line-up has been connected with LTE-A Wireless WAN and Wi-Fi 6 which makes internet connections faster. The technology manufacturer from China also claims the latest ThinkPad has a long battery life to support productivity for up to 20 hours. This is thanks to AI technology that can read user habits, so the device can save batteries.

Additionally, each device has ThinkShield security features and a hybrid HD + IR Camera with ThinkShutter technology to protect users from snooping. The device also includes multifactor authentication from Windows Hello, which carries the fingerprint scanning feature as a laptop security system.

Lenovo IFA 2019 : Also Released New Monitors

Lenovo is more famous for manufacturers that produce computer and laptop devices. But at Lenovo IFA 2019, this time the manufacturer introduced a monitor. No half-hearted, they reveal three monitors at once, namely the Q24i, Q27q, and Lenovo ThinkVision S28u.

Lenovo Q24i monitor has a 23.8-inch IPS screen technology and AMD FreeSync support and has Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels). The refresh rate is Q24i 75 Hz with a response time of 4 ms. Port interfaces that accompany it include HDMI, VGA, and Audio Out. Lenovo reported the Q24i monitor has a thin bezel, called NearEdgeless.

While the Lenovo Q27q monitor is also reinforced with an IPS screen but with a larger screen, which is 27 inches. If the Q24i screen panel is supported by a Full HD screen, the Q27q is equipped with a higher resolution with 2560 x 1440 pixels (QHD). This monitor also uses AMD FreeSync technology, a refresh rate of 75 Hz and a 4 ms response time. There is also an integration of internal speakers and various ports. But unlike the Q24i, Q27q replaces the VGA port with DisplayPort 1.2.

Both the Q24i and Q27q monitors are equipped with features to reduce TÜV Rheinland Eye Comfort certified flicker interference. This function is introduced in Lenovo IFA 2019 useful to avoid eye fatigue due to staring at the monitor screen for too long.

IFA 2019 : Asus Announced The latest ROG with 300Hz Screen

Kristen Brown — Thu, 19 Sep 2019 19:27:06 +0000

The IFA 2019 event in Berlin, Germany, is always enlivened by new products with sophisticated technology. One of them is Asus ROG Zephyrus S GX701. An upgraded version of a gaming laptop with a similar name that was introduced early in 2019 offers an interesting feature enhancement.

Amazing 300Hz screen

ROG Zephyrus S GX701 still carries a design that is more or less the same as the previously released version. That is, gamers are still served a very slim body (for the size of a gaming laptop), but still with powerful specifications.

One of the most tantalizing improvements is the 17-inch screen now has a refresh rate of 300Hz, and is claimed to be the first in the world. In addition, the screen also has Pantone Validated with 100 percent sRGB panel. The combination is certainly able to provide steady visual quality and spoil the eye.

With an okay screen, it isn’t complete if the ROG Zephyrus S GX701 isn’t equipped with fast hardware. No half-hearted, this gaming laptop uses the latest generation of Intel Core i7 processors that are accompanied by an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 GPU.

For other specifications are still the same as the previous version. Gamers will still find RAM options of up to 24 GB and storage in the form of 512GB GB M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD and 1 TB hard disk.

Ultra-Slim and Lightweight

Well, just check the gaming laptop on the market, generally, the body is heavy. Moreover, expensive gaming laptops that cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Maybe we also sometimes like to think if there is a heavy gaming laptop, then there is no difference with a PC gaming device.

After all, a heavy gaming laptop wouldn’t be carried around too often. Do we then think lest this gaming laptop is basically just a desktop PC in the form of a laptop? I don’t think there will be a high-end gaming laptop that has a compact design that is easy to carry around.

ROG ZEPHYRUS S GX701 proves that a classy gaming laptop doesn’t have to be heavy. With a weight of only 2.6 kg and a body thickness of only 18.7 mm, the ROG ZEPHYRUS S GX701 is the solution for those who really need a high-performance gaming laptop but are easy to carry everywhere. In fact, Asus calls this laptop as an ultra-slim gaming laptop.

The compact design also doesn’t make this laptop look simple. The front view which is coated in aluminum does look ordinary. There is only the ROG logo that characterizes the ROG series laptops. But a strong impression arises when looking at the body of this ROG Zephyrus S GX701 as an amazing tool for great gamers.

Launched in October 2019

Asus plans to sell the new version of the ROG Zephyrus S GX701 in October 2019. Unfortunately, there is no information about the price. But certainly, with a more sophisticated screen, the price will be above the Zephyrus S GX701, priced at the US $ 3,299. Well, that’s a reasonably fantastic price to be fair.

Predator Thronos Air

Predator Thronos Air is arguably the best gaming chair ever made. The structure is steel and consists of chairs, modular tables, and monitor arms that ‘wrap’ the user in the cockpit which is claimed to be comfortable and ideal for playing games.

This seat can be adjusted to various angles (130 degrees inside the cabin and 180 degrees outside the cabin) to achieve maximum comfort. This chair even provides a massage function, so gamers can feel relaxed after an intense game session.

There are three monitors supported by this chair, and the monitor arm can be raised and lowered manually with the handle on the bottom of the middle monitor. Then there is also a camera positioned on the middle monitor to facilitate users ‘broadcast’ on YouTube, Twitch, Mixer, and others. This chair is the perfect combination with the Predator Triton.
