Q: Is this the 60Hz or the 144Hz?
A: 60hz
Q: Can you customize the keyboard like change the color of it
A: This model has only TWO settings. Style, and color. ALL KEYS are the SAME color when lit. The color can be part of the style, or selected by you. But either way, when they are lit, they are the same. The advanced model allows each key to be a settable color, that YOU control. ALSO, on THIS model, the LOGO on the cover is always lit. With the advanced, you can change the color, and even turn it off.
A: Mine was bought Open-Box... But other than having to install a few drivers, it ran fine out of the box. I did eventually put in a new NVMe 1tb drive and clean installed Windows myself. No problems so far. Edits 4k video like a champ. I do recommend buying the 3yr Geek Squad Hardware Warranty,
Q: Can i run half life alyx with this laptop?
A: undefined
A: I haven't checked the battery charge life lately, but it isn't that great. They have an "advanced" variant. The "ADVANCED" one DOES have a pretty good life. The way IT does this, is that it gets rid of the 2.5" drive, which obviously uses more power than the other drive type, and that leaves a big space there, which they use to increase the battery to 99.9w!!!!!! Apparently, the FAA allows ONLY batteries up to 99.9w, so that is the LARGEST battery you could ever have! It is also almost TWICE the size of the battery in the BASE version. As for the life of the battery over all, that depends on many things. I believe it IS replaceable, but obviously the company wants to replace it with THEIR approved stuff.
A: Well, I bought an MSI system, and the last generation of MSI systems were basically MADE to be a landmine so that you couldn't upgrade them without a lot of effort. So they were effectively impossible to upgrade. It ALSO DIED in 6 months, so I actually had to get my computer REPLACED at the beginning of covid, because it was in the shop for 2 months already, and I had NO idea where the world was headed. After looking at various reviews, it seems that until recently many laptop companies either boobytrap their laptops, or solder things in to prevent things like upgrades, REGARDLESS OF WHAT THEY MAY APPEAR TO CLAIM OTHERWISE. Some STILL do this, but thankfully people are starting to move BACK to the consumer model. When I asked for a replacement of the MSI that was NOT MSI, I was offered an Alienware system. BTW they made the choice on THEIR assessment of monetary value, and NOT about anything MEANINGFUL like the customers desires, needs, or use case. The Alienware FAILED in all ways with me, but the alienware that I was offered ALSO had SOLDERED RAM! That meant NO UPGRADE PATH! Also, if a problem happened with memory(I have seen this happen no less than 4 times), you would NOT be able to fix it yourself! SO CHECK THAT! BTW the alienware was BAD for me, because the color, style, and look were NOT business like, the computer ITSELF was NOT up-gradable or CLOSE, so I would be throwing the money I had down a toilet, and it just didn't match what I wanted. BTW this razer blade, though their tech support STINKS, IS up-gradable! The RAM can only be upgraded to 32GB apparently, the SSD can be upgraded up to only 2TB apparently, The SATA can apparently only be upgraded up to 4TB. I got so fed up working with the limitations of the base model, for my needs, that before I realized I hadn't determined how I wanted to proceed, I had already upgraded the ram to 32GB, and figured I would do that SATA also. So I got it to the BASE specs I originally wanted. But outside of needing a torx screwdriver, it was fast and easy as it should be. If it lasts long enough, and the prices come down as I think they will, I might upgrade everything all the way! 8) As for the RAZER being higher in price? It seems to be a nice system, checks all the boxes, so I don't think anyone would call it a cheap computer. The price seems to mostly be NAME, build quality, and the fact that it is actually milled aluminum, that is anodized. I WISH I could say it had super fantastic features, etc...., but the consensus is as I stated in the order I stated. OH, and the fact that it has the GPU is, FOR ME, the biggest thing adding to the price. I don't care if it has the GPU, etc..... but some DO, and THAT is EXPENSIVE! NOT only is the GPU expensive, but there is the supporting hardware, tweaking of everything to standards, and the improved cooling system to cool IT also! Basically, the GPU provides a way to offload graphics processing. It would be GREAT if you like playing games with lots of advanced graphics at high speed. Other wise, it really doesn't mean much. If you don't need the GPU, you can find a system without it, and it could EASILY knock the cost down 1-2 thousand dollars! THIS one seems so cheap compared to what I just said because it is a lower end and older GPU. STILL, it adds several hundred to the cost!
