More Power Adapters should be like the Razer Blade one!

The Razer Blade Power adapter/brick is amazingly small! It's rated for 120W (but can provide much more), and weighs less than a pound.

I've got a W530 at work, as do many others at my workplace. The No. 1 complaint about it is the brick (literally the size of a brick). It's doubly frustrating because we don't use the GPUs for (K2000) much other than driving external displays, so we could actually use the 90W brick if Lenovo built the W530 to support it.

Lenovo, HP, and Dell - Please try harder with your power supplies. Obviously it's possible to make something smaller, especially for your most expensive workstation laptops. Sometimes I (along with others) have to travel a lot, and the power brick is just terrible.

 

I agree. Nothing is worse than having a reasonably thin and light laptop and a brick that's half the size of the laptop.

 

I agree on the case of the razer blade its still 1/4 of the laptop size

i also hope that they make lighter versions as well, when I just look that I got the thermaltake 95w toughpower in 2009 (or 10?) and still look at what people throw at us today I wail in dispair

 

I've said this ever since the Blade came out: Apple needs to revamp its MagSafe bricks to accommodate more than 85W. If Razer, a much smaller company, can engineer a slim line 120W brick, surely a firm with the size of Apple can do the same.

 

I agree on all accounts, their magsafe also needs better QA

I pretty much think that the 765m can be put on the rmbp 15, but the power wont be enough, and as usual it will be drained from the battery

stupidity abounds though, MSI is vouching that as feature if you use the OC button that they have, drain from your battery because we didnt bother to equip your notebook with a decent psu that provides enough power to the futures we built in

 

cooler master had an ultra thin 120watt adapter but, it was wider but, also had a USB charging port. I think Tri turbo has one.

 

thermaltake makes one as well, they are wide, but very thin and work wonderfully well, I always wanted to try the USNA series

 

I know, lol. The tout it as a feature. When all they'd have to do is offer a 200W PSU instead of 180W and it'd likely be fine.

 

the razr PSUs also cost an arm and a leg, they said once that it costs about $80 to manufacture.

 

I dont see a problem with that, we are not talking 600 bucks pcs here we are talking premium pcs, that also come in the premium category of price

not that the 600 bucks cant have those, actually they have slim adapters for quite a while

 

If a companies like Lenovo/Dell/HP made it they'd have a good advantage on price due to economies of scale. Razer laptops are a fairly niche market in comparison.

They could make it an optional "upgrade" when you are buying your laptops. The W530's used at my company cost nearly $2K each, plus whatever is spent on software and hardware upgrades. I don't think it'll be too much hassle to convince management that some extra cost is worth it, especially for people who travel on a regular basis.

Exactly. Plus, if these PSUs became more mainstream the cost of making them would go down.

For shame Lenovo/Dell/HP, etc!

 

The closest thing to the Razer's 120W brick on the market is indeed USNA-120. It measures some more in all aspects (~2cm length (because of the USBs I guess), 7mm width and 3mm high), but as cdoublejj already said, it has two USB ports (1A and 2,1A). I've pushed it up to 118W and it doesn't breaks a sweat. I haven't timed the charging with the USB ports, but it seems to do the job a bit faster, especially for the iPad. It weights as much as my stock 90W brick.

Edit: It's pretty descent looking as well

 

Anyone know where the USNA 120 PSU is?

 

have you tried contacting the police? they usually try to find missing people, but maybe they can find the psu for you

jokes aside, try to see directly from them, they have a store or did
