It’s been a decade since Razer was sent Its first blade laptop, And they all come with Windows. not that Much Today that is changing – but Lambda is now launching Ubuntu in a soup-up version of the advanced Razer Blade 15 with the full blessing of Razer, with the aim of selling it to machine learning and artificial intelligence researchers.
This is called Razer x Lambda Tensorbook, And the $ 3,500 engine is in many ways completely identical to a high-end version of last year’s laptop. It has an 11th generation Intel Core i7 CPU, Nvidia RTX 3080 Max-Q graphics and 64GB of RAM under a 15.6-inch 165Hz 1440p display, all powered by an 80Wh battery with the same size and 45-size chassis. It has the same speed I / O as two Thunderbolt 4 ports, three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, a UHS-III SD card reader and both Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2.
But the Tensorbook is silver instead of black, and is already pre-installed with “the latest drivers and machine learning tools, including PyTorch, Tensorflow, CUDA and cuDNN”, with its own warranty and – if you pay $ 4,099 and up – its own premium support panel. Lampta says it sells GPUs, servers and desktop workstations and already supplies hardware to thousands of research teams.
While Razer currently offers faster CPUs, GPUs and screens in today’s blade lineup, considering how expensive Razer’s laptops can be, it’s not a bad deal if you prefer design. But in general we have found that the thin machines of the razor are running Very hot In our reviews, and The knife in question is no exception Even with a quarter of the memory and a less powerful RTX 3060 GPU. Lambda’s FAQ page The heat has not been remedied as of today.
The Lambda MacBook Pro is aimed at buyers, and I’m not saying that because of the silver tones. The primary hardware comparison the company claims is 4x faster Apple’s M1 Max on 16 inch MacBook Pro When running TensorFlow.
Razor has been teasing the best Linux support for years, but the popular Linux computing news site Foronics Wrote in 2019 Those plans seemingly got worse. This may be due to the recently renewed interest in Linux gaming Steam platform, It will push Razor to consider Linux for its own flagship products as well.
