Thanks for the reply, it seems to be behaving now with newer intel drivers.
-
Can you please note which intel drivers you are using and exactly where you got them? Anything special that you had to do during install? I've heard too many horror stories about installing them and causing more problems than they fixed.
With the NVidia I just let them update on their own and I've never had problems, the intel ones I didn't want to mess up optimus or anything else with the screen or using the 870m. -
I haven't seen this low memory issue, what game can replicate this issue without fail?
-
The low memory thing is: Windows 8.1 x64 - Low memory while playing full screen games - Microsoft Community

I experienced it when I kept my native resolution at 3200x1800 playing BF4. But after I realized most games just don't work right when my native resolution is 3k and I am playing the games in 1080p, so I just change the native to 1080p now. It is pretty annoying but I can't seem to find a solution for it. Point is, it happens pretty regularly on BF4 when my native is 3k.

Im at work right now, I just used the intel updater on their website, no problems. I didn't know there could be issues with them, i use it frequently without issues on my u500vz.
Latest driver dated march off the top of my head.
Still getting the low memory issue after using it a while, the driver seems fine though. -
hate it when you get a dead pixel even if its a small one. now I don't know if im going to return it now for exchange (thru Microsoft complete) but I hate waiting again I don't think they will let me keep this and wait for the replacement razer blade they are out of stock too!!!

Hey guys,
I have a strange issue. I have both a Naga Epic and a Blackwidow Ultimate, along with the 2014 RB. I have always had the Naga hooked up to the Blade with no issues with Synapse. I just attached the Blackwidow, and the Synapse application has completely just locked up. It won't start, even if I end the process and restart it. Has anyone else had this same problem? -

Just got my blade today!! I couldn't wait to open it and opens it in the car lol. I pushed the power button and the battery is fully depleted!! Guess I'll have to wait till I get home. Has anyone had this happen and have you had problems with charging or maintaining charge?

hey guys, I was wondering if there is an extra SSD slot like the previous generation razerblade 14.
I tried searching the forums 'cause i'm pretty sure the answer is in there, but I couldn't find it. they are selling 1TB msata SSD's now and i'm pretty sure they will come out for m.2 sata pretty soon if there was an extra slot

Of course the very last thing anyone ever does anymore is actually read product manuals...
and by the way it also tells you how to register your blade in that same square manual. -
You guys see the Aorus x3 announcement? Thoughts on the competition vs. RB2014?

I did a quick search but couldn't find anything on this.
Is it posssible to switch the Fn and Ctrl keys on the left hand side? -

I guess I just haven't had any issues with cooling, even running modern games. It gets hot, but within thermal limits. Keyboard stays cool. More vents/fans do not automatically equal better cooling, though Asus engineers are pretty good. A real upgrade would be liquid cooling.

I will be keeping an eye on it for sure. -
I dig the 1080p display on the x3. Problem is every gigabyte machine I've used (including the p34g most recently) have had loud fans at idle, and coil whine. I'm also sure build quality on the RB will be vastly superior.

Notebookcheck does a pretty good job of indicating whether a certain machine will be tolerable to me or not. If idle sound emissions exceed 31db, or they mention that the fans cycle (which drives me nuts), I know to stay away. As long as fan noise at load doesn't exceed 50db, I'm okay with it. The Razer blade (2013) and Macbook retina both score very highly on noise emissions (less than 30 db) and I love both of those machines. I would have purchased the 2014 Blade had the high density display worked in my usage scenario (docking my laptop several times a day to 4 external monitors). As it stands, I currently have a Blade Pro, and while the idle fan noise is pushing my level of tolerance (it's slightly noiser than a 2013 Blade 14"), every other box is being checked (though I would love an 870m), and the switchblade UI is much more functional than I expected it to be.
Build quality is something else that tends to be subject to a users history. I've used Macbook Pros for several years and have come to expect decent build quality, materials, and fit / finish. I expect no coil whine, and the fan to not be intrusive in ordinary tasks in a silent room (think library). I know I have picky ears and expectations, but I pay close attention to other members on the forums who have expectations I believe to be similar to mine. For example, I know hfm has a Macbook and Samsung Series 7 Gamer, and he expects a lot from his Blade '14 in terms of build quality and trackpad performance. User John566 has used the Sager W230ss/st (a machine I previously owned) and if he thought the Sager had tolerable fan noises (which I agree with) but he couldn't stand the MSI GS60 fan profile, I have a pretty good idea that I wouldn't tolerate the fan noise very well either. I think if you're worried, look around at specific members and see if you can find one that mimics your own experiences and see what he/she feels about specific hardware. This is, in my opinion, the greatest advantage to notebookreview versus other forums / review sites. -
dB is not the only indication of a sound's quality. Pitch is very important. I can tolerate a low pitched hum even at a much higher dB than a high pitch at a much lower dB.

I knew the Blade would have great build quality, and frankly the trackpad was way better than I expected, as close to my MacBook pro as any Windows trackpad has ever been for me. I wish it was quieter under load though. It's quite a bit louder than my gamer 7. The gamer 7i can hardly hear under gaming load, the Blade is rather annoying. Doesn't really affect me due to headphones but it annoys my wife, which affects me I guess.
Whatever I'll take it, I love the build quality, display, performance, appearance, size, and weight.HTWingNut and alaskajoel like this. -

EDIT: My guess it it's using that chip for the USB 3.0 ports. It's probably just a feature of the USB solution just not hooked up to anything.. Perhaps people have installed that updated driver without thinking about it already. -
Does Razer supply Win 8.1 media or some way to reinstall the OS if you need to? I'm on the verge of ordering one of these little beasts.

Is that a Windows 8 built in tool (like its backup system) or is it a Razer program, just wondering.

I do not claim to be an expert, but I had no luck using any of the built in Windows image features. I guess I could just never make it do exactly what I wanted. Same thing goes for Win 7 tools which are about the same I believe.
I used a freeware tool (can't think of the name of it but there are many available) to just copy the entire system image to a USB drive, all partitions included. Then I replaced my SSD and did a restore, and then resized the main partition that changed in size. It worked great and if I ever have any problems like a complete drive failure I can just use that original image to get up and going really quick. -
