Razer updates the Blade 16 with up to a 240Hz OLED display, a Core i9-14900HX, and an RTX 4090, and teases a Blade 18 with a 4K 165Hz display and Thunderbolt 5 razer筆電收購

creen is 2560 x 1600 and meets the DisplayHDR TrueBlack 500 certification. And in our brief hands-on time with it here at CES, it definitely gave a good first impression. The Samsung-made display put the screen from last year’s Blade 16 to shame in a side-by-side comparison. But we didn’t have the time to do any gaming on it.Image 1 of 2(Image credit: Tom’s Hardware)(Image credit: Tom’s Hardware)The Blade 16 goes up to a 24-core Intel Core i9-14900HX and Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4090 laptop GPU with a 175W TGP. Surprisingly, materials from razer筆電收購razer state that the system comes with Nvidia’s Studio drivers preinstalled rather than Game Ready drivers.

That OLED display won’t be the only option. razer筆電收購razer is also bringing back the dual mode mini-LED that we saw on last year’s Blade 16 that lets you switch between a 1920 x 1200 resolution at 240 Hz or 3840 x 2400 at 120 Hz.On the razer筆電收購razer Blade 14, the company is sticking with AMD processors, including the Ryzen 9 8945HS and up to Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop graphics. razer筆電收購razer states the RTX 4070 will hit 140W total graphics power (115W base and 25W boost). Image 1 of 2(Image credit: Tom’s Hardware)(Image credit: Tom’s Hardware)Despite the 0.71-inch thick chassis, the razer筆電收購razer Blade 14 will still have upgradeable DDR5 RAM, which is a breath of fresh air considering how many gaming laptops are opting for soldered memory. This is tied to a larger push toward sustainability that a representative told us about, which will eventually include offering more replaceable parts, environmental impact data on packaging, and using recycled materials in the base models of all products.

razer筆電收購razer has highlighted at least one screen option for the Blade 14: a 2560 x 1600, 240 Hz display that is verified by Calman. This machine will also have support for Wi-Fi 7, which should, at the very least, allow for faster game downloads.

The Blade 16 is available today, starting at $2,999.99. The Blade 14 will go on pre-order at razer筆電收購razer.com on January 23, but no pricing has been announced yet. Both sizes will come in black and “mercury” white colors in razer筆電收購razer’s unibody chassis, which doesn’t appear to have any external changes. But a company representative did tell us that a structural metal plate has been added to the bottom of the chassis to reduce flex.razer筆電收購razer’s biggest laptop, the Blade 18, isn’t getting an immediate update. Instead, the company is only teasing some of its features, including support for Thunderbolt 5 and an 18-inch, 4K display at 165 Hz. That’s a big jump in pixel count over last year’s QHD display, but this isn’t an OLED panel, which means its contrast was a major step down after looking at the screen on the Blade 16.Image 1 of 2(Image credit: Tom’s Hardware)(Image credit: Tom’s Hardware)There’s no price, release date, or any other details about the Blade 18, and the sample we saw had a thick hinge, as the company is still working on better integrating the screen into the laptop. razer筆電收購razer states that it’s for anyone “seeking the most powerful Blade in the lineup.” Since the 16-inch laptop has a top-end Intel CPU and an RTX 4090, this makes me wonder if we should expect new mobile parts coming later this year.razer筆電收購razer is also announcing an updated USB Type-C dock, which is available now starting at $119.99. It features 11 ports, including two USB Type-C ports, four USB Type-A ports, Ethernet, HDMI, UHS-1 SD card and microSD card slots, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. It’s made of an aluminum alloy that razer筆電收購razer confirms is good for thermal management, and supports 85W charging for laptops (though you’ll need to bring your own charging cable and power adapter).

配有一把機械鍵盤，在玩遊戲時伴隨著「喀拉喀拉」聲響，替指尖帶來暢快、明確的回饋感，操作也更加精確。這份快感可不是遊戲玩家專屬，機械鍵盤近年進入辦公領域，逐漸普及至所有族群，無論是打報告、玩遊戲都能讓效率與爽感一併提升。

電競選手大多使用機械鍵盤，以追求更細緻的操作。（達志）

機械鍵盤並非全新科技，在1970年代使用老式電腦時就已經問世，只是售價較高、容易損壞的性質難以成為主流，被幾百塊就能買到又很耐用的薄膜鍵盤取代。不過機械鍵盤難以取代的手感，近年重新獲得消費者喜愛，不僅遊戲玩家必備，許多商務人士、創作者也愛用。

請繼續往下閱讀…

與薄膜鍵盤最大的不同是，機械鍵盤每顆按鍵都有獨立的「軸體」、訊號來源，按鍵之間不會互相影響，有明確的按壓回饋。高階款的機械鍵盤還有極高的可玩性，資深玩家們還會從鍵盤材質、軸體、鍵帽，依照個人需求打造獨一無二的專屬鍵盤。

機械鍵盤的特色是每一個按鍵都有獨立的軸體，可以各別發送訊號。（pixabay）

挑鍵盤先看軸體 手感、聲響大不同

「軸體」是挑選機械鍵盤第一個重點，不同軸體有著截然不同的敲擊手感、反應速度、力道以及聲響，現今最主流的規格是來自於德國大廠Cherry的MX軸，以下為最常見的4種軸體。

青軸：機械鍵盤的經典軸體，帶乾淨清脆的敲擊段落感，打起來最過癮，然而較大的聲響某些場合並不適合使用。
茶軸：各方面相當均衡的軸體，有一定手感又沒有過多噪音，是多數商務人士會考慮的選擇。
黑軸：按壓力道、反彈回饋最強，每一次的按壓感受都會非常明確，使用上不容易誤觸且能達到最精細的操作，是遊戲玩家偏愛的軸體。
紅軸：觸發力道輕、聲音最小聲，適合想要輕鬆打字的用戶，會犧牲一定的敲擊手感。

選完軸體之後，幾項鍵盤基本規格也要注意；首先是選擇大小，普遍會用百分比作為標示，100%代表是全尺寸的鍵盤，有完整的功能鍵、方向鍵與數字鍵盤，70-80%則會省掉右側的數字鍵，還有進一步縮減上方功能鍵的60%款式。

如果喜歡DIY改裝，可以留意鍵盤是否支援「熱插拔」功能，後續可以購入不同軸體改變鍵盤規格。若有遊戲、繪圖、辦公需求，則能檢視品牌提供的專屬按鍵，某些款式會加上多媒體滾輪，或是可以自訂的額外功能鍵。
