Snagged a Razer Blade 15 Advanced on sale, how'd I do..

Gotcha, misunderstood what edges you were talking about. I think the comfort level with regards to those edges must depend on the person, I've never had an issue with it, so I assume I must angle my hand different or something.

Snagged a Razer Blade 15 Advanced on sale, how'd I do..

You may have had a defective touchpad, the Blade touchpads are generally regarded as some of the best. As far as the keyboard is concerned I won't argue with you on that, I have personally never used a laptop keyboard I truly enjoyed. Assuming an equal or less resolution, yes you will see a fps...

Snagged a Razer Blade 15 Advanced on sale, how'd I do..

I think you'll enjoy it, I have the previous model with 2070 and play a lot of games on it without issue. I have never had any issue with it switching between igpu and dgpu. The main thing with the igpu is that it acts as a middle man between the dgpu and the laptop screen unless you have a mux...

Question AA3200D4DR8S/32G <- is this product legit?

That is literally the best laptop ram I have ever seen, so it is really hard to believe it is legit. Not only is it the lowest CAS latency (by far) I have ever seen for SO-DIMM DDR4 3200, but it's also doing it at 1.2v on a JEDEC profile.

Question Bought a new MSI 3080ti and got a used MSI 2070. What would you do?

Definitely file a dispute with your credit card. But I will say that's pretty unusual for Amazon returns, they are normally really easy on that. I once received and empty box and they didn't even ask for any proof, just shipped me a replacement the next day.

Question [Videocardz] nVidia planning 2060 12 GB

I don't understand the 12GB of VRAM. I imagine that in the next few years 12GB might become common and more necessary, but at that point the 2060 will probably be near obsolete and unable to run AAA games at a respectable framerate anyway.

Question DDR4 DRAM prices to drop 15% soon.

I am hoping the price decrease is seen in SO-DIMM's as well, would like to upgrade my laptop from 16GB to 32GB.

Question Is one stick of RAM in a slot now okay?

2 sticks is always better (and significantly better on Ryzen systems), the big system builders just like to cheap out and cut corners.

Question Large Mouse pads

I'm a big fan of the SteelSeries QcK mouse pads personally, their QcK 3XL might fit your size, it's about 24"x48"

Question How can I tell max memory my Chromebox can use?

Are you hitting 100% memory utilization or close to? If so, then yes it's worth upgrading. If not, no it's not worth upgrading.

Question Looking to buy a new gaming mouse, can I pair a wireless straight to the USB B of the new xbox?

Among the quality gaming mice (Logitech, Razer, Steelseries, Xtrfy, Cooler Master, Zowie, etc) you are not going to find any significant performance differences. Many of the models source the sensor from the same place and the modern sensors in gaming mice are better than they ever have been...

Question Wireless Gaming Mouse under $90

The Razer Viper Ultimate (without dock) should work for you, works good for finger tip grip, weighs less than 80 grams, no noticeable change in latency compared to wired, 70 hours of battery life, and 8 programmable buttons. The price fluctuates on it a little, but at times you can get it for...

So...how good are razer laptops? Razer Blade 14" AMD 5900HX?

I have a 2020 Blade 15 and it tops the list for laptops that I have owned. The Blade 14 is a new design, so experiences with existing models won't necessarily be indicative of how it will perform. That being said, it is using vapor chamber cooling, so in theory you may be able to compare it...
