Razer Edge and Edge Pro Owner's Lounge

Maybe this time that will be the new Razer Edge

I'm going to guess that it's a Razer branded G-sync monitor.

 

the NDA for the new NVIDIA cards ends on the 11th so its possible this is a new laptop or tablet offering. hope so. just bought an Aorus X7 which is as slim and light as the Blade Pro but with 765ms in SLI. can still return it if Razer has something great up its sleeve tomorrow.

 

If that's the case, It's pretty much a given that we will see a new Blade or Edge.

 

New Edge would be awesome. But I highly doubt it. Razer's reluctance to support the first gen with sufficient accessory stock makes me feel like sales were not too great. It is also possible that the reluctance was due to jumping the gun on developing gen 2 before its release. I'm still guessing its a blade refresh, maybe with high-res display. I will definitely be waiting though. If only it was a slimmer gen 2 with pen input and dGPU it would be my dream device... (Sadly I don't see Razer ever putting a stylus in their tablets)

I just ordered so you know what is going to happen.

 

If that isn't Edge refresh , GDC is just around the corner March 17 and Razer can show us some new product like next gen. gaming tablet.

 

well the hint here is of a glowing razer logo, either the back of a laptop or the back of a tablet... so. i'm thinking laptop. seeing is believing. maybe better display? ips? higher resolution for blade pro and blade 14?

 

I believe another laptop, but we could be surprised.

 

It will probably be just announcing 800M series in the new RAZER line of notebooks.

 

Razer just announced the new 14" Blade Ultra:

- New touchscreen IPS display with a resolution of 3200x1800 ! 262ppi. Highest resolution on a laptop ever.

- New Geforce GTX 870M with 3GB of DDR5 RAM

- SSD storage from 128GB with optional 256GB or 512GB, and 8GB of DDR3L RAM

- It's just 0.7" thin (thinner than the Edge!) and weighs just 4.1lbs

- Starts at $2,199.

The New Razer Blade Ultra-Thin Gaming Laptop - 14" Notebook Display

 

Yeah, figured it was a laptop refresh... hmmm.... It is tempting to go for the 14"er. I'd have preferred an Edge refresh to be honest, but I'm sure we're in the minority. I wonder how well an 870M can even run games at 4K...

 

I love the Edge, but I think it's better for Razer as a business to bring out a $999 gaming laptop instead of a $999 gaming tablet. It would sell way more.

But this new Blade is insane. The Verge says they've seen this new Blade run Sleeping Dogs at 3200x1800 at 50-60fps. The new GTX870m seems like a very very capable graphics chip. And running 1080p games at ultra seems doesn't seem like a chore either:

Razer's new Blade might be the perfect gaming laptop | The Verge

 

Don't really get what's so great about the Razer Blade. They are way overpriced for what they are. If shaving off a few pounds and a couple of inches to a gaming notebook is worth an extra $1000 I'm in the wrong business. Gaming notebooks I really wouldn't consider a "niche" market anymore as the popularity of these items have blown up. Granted this has a nice display, But it's only a matter of time before Clevo, MSI and ASUS all offer these options at much cheaper prices.

 

Honestly not so sure about that this time around. MSI has already announced it's GS60 Ghost Pro and it doesn't have a 4K screen and will supposedly cost around the same price (might not even be an 870M).

 

oops wrong thread

 

Good thing a new blade was announced because my tablet has arrived. Any advice as what to do before I start loading games and other programs? Options on going to Win 8.1 if the updater allows it?

 

There's a guide along with drivers on the Razer support page that you need to follow to upgrade to 8.1. If it were me, I would do that first before I started downloading games. You might also want to look into getting a recovery USB ASAP so you won't be stuck with a dead device if something goes wrong.

 

Thanks.
I am unfamiliar with win 8 so I may hold off on the upgrade. Is there a complete guide on how to do the upgrade? Where do I get the recovery USB, Razer?
Edit: I now see you meant the upgrade guide on the Razer site. Is it worth the upgrade for most people?

 

well can still hope for a 1080p Edge pro with an 850M? would crush the 640M LE

 

You can call Razer to get a recovery USB for free. It's a lot harder to do if you aren't in the US. Also, I think you are better off updating to windows 8.1 It has some useful changes that aren't present in 8.0. You just need to make sure you follow the directions completely or you will have problems with the touch screen.

 

Since the Edge was released, we've seen 2 new generations of the Blade laptop. Most accessories can't be found for retail prices and most of the Edge links on the Razer site are broken. I think it's safe to say that this ship has sailed and we won't be seeing a refresh any time soon.

 

Disapointing that there was no new edge announcement, but i am happy that they are releasing a laptop with touchscreen abilities, as that is one of the main reason i prefer tablets (touch screen devices are alot easier to use on public transport.

Now i have to decide is it worth using my Razer edge still (which i enjoy) or do i sell up and by thr 14inch laptop. Tough choice, shame they didnt make the ability to twist the screen so that you could hold it like a large tablet)

 

I will also buy Razer Edge next week , but Razer support told me that they couldn't send USB Recover Stick to my country only if i have address in USA or Canada.
Is it possible to copy all data from Tablet SSD to regular flash drvie and if something goes wrong to restore all information from it ?

 

I have the instructions but bought no keyboard yet. I have had problems uninstalling and installing video drivers in the past. I may regret this i wm going to put off the upgrade for now. I can call Rzaer for the USB key. Anything else I need to do in the software realm, as i am unfamiliar with Win 8.x? I am planning on finding out how to boot into desktop mode.

 

It may be possible to create a backup using disk clone software but I have no experience in that area.

There's nothing else that I can think of. You should be pretty much ready to go once it's on. I never bothered booting directly to the desktop in 8.0 but I do know that the option is built in on 8.1

 

for some odd reason my recovery disk stopped working so i downloaded a windows 8 x64 torrent (not cracked)and extraced the iso file into my usbdrives root directory (after formatting it) it worked and windows installed without any issues and when time came to activate it i entered the key that came with my edge and it worked! its activated and updates!

I dont think this should be illegal since the edge has a legal cd key and we shouldn't be forced to buy another retail copy of windows since the price of the edge included windows 8.

Hope this helps.

Also don't expect any help from razor support they are arrogant and rude and unwilling to listen. Almost like their CEO

 

thetruth1983 , ajssuperman

thank you for your support i will try to copy all data from Razer Edge ssd to usb flash drive.
I couldn't find docking station , but i intend to try this product EVGA UV Plus+ 39 .

 

Just note that if you buy that dock, you won't be using the 640M LE for any games. The performance you would get would be significantly lower than if you had the Razer dock. The only way to play games on an external monitor using the 640M would be to use the HDMI dock. There's just no other way around it.

 

This is my dream as well...

I REALLY want a 1080P tablet with a dGPU and Pen Input.

I really don't understand Razer's complete reluctance to talk or do anything with the Edge. I'd rather they just discontinue it at this point. It's old and underperforming. No new announcements makes me concerned that they'll be no Gen 2...

 

Hey I just got a razer edge pro and want to reinstall windows so I can start fresh whenever I need. I have a usb with windows on it and all the drivers downloaded. But I cant for the life of me get it to boot from the usb. Just wondering the best method of doing that. oh and is there still a problem with upgrading to windows 8.1? I did and it seems to be fine once I updated the drivers. Thanks ahead of time.

 

I haven't used WiDi in a few months, but now it seems to have stopped working. I've only been doind the Windows updates (*->8.1, etc), but nothing else.
This used to work and worked quite well, but now it seems to have stopped working. Is there anything I need to do manually?

Looking to sell my Edge Pro 128Gb with the Dock, Gamepad and Keyboard attachments. Also 2 years of warranty at Best Buy. If anyones interested

 

is it still worth buying a razer edge, and will there be a refresh? also how will it preform compared to a late 2013 mbp r 13" with i7 4558u and 16gb of ram? thanks in advance to anybody who replies.

 

Hey guys, I'm on a trip to Japan and my edge keyboard doesn't work at all. Any ideas on what I can do? I've done resets and also I'm still on Windows 8.0 . Thanks. Love my Edge, but this keyboard totally sucks.

 

You mean the software keyboard?

 

I'm looking for the Keyboard dock. Does anyone have one they would like to sell? Please let me know if you do.

 

Are you interested in selling just the keyboard?

 

It really comes down to what you are looking for. The rmbp has a higher rez screen and has a better keyboard. The Edge is more versatile as it can be used in many more situations. However, at this late in the game, it is very hard to come across the accessories for the Edge unless you are willing to pay a huge markup. If those are the two machines that you have it narrowed down to, you should also probably look at the new Blade. It's a bit more but you end up getting better gaming capabilities in a form factor similar to the rmbp. As far as a refresh, it's anybody's guess right now. This is the only thing that I've seen recently about the Edge:

"It's shipping well," he said. "I think it's still on Amazon at this point in time. I think from spec-wise, it's still the world's most powerful tablet and we've been really looking really closely at it in terms of future iterations.

"But we're not talking about that right now."

 

thanks for your help, i will get the new blade cause it fits my needs best.

 

I am interested in buying a keyboard dock.

 

Re: Razer Edge and Edge Pro Owner's Lounge

Are you still selling the accessories and if so for how much

 

No, the actual keyboard for the Razer Edge. I can charge my tablet with it but can't type or see any lights go on I.e. unresponsive.

 

Have you made sure that Razer Synapse is installed and updated? I believe there was an update that specifically mentioned the keyboard dock. Outside of that, I can't think of any other reason why it wouldn't work. I've never had any problems with mine.

 

So after some extended use with my pro and gamepad I am definitely satisfied with the product and will be keeping it. Now it's time for me to take this puppy out of the house and on the road to fulfill its potential and the whole point of my purchase. All I have is a 17 inch soft sleeve case meant for a laptop which I am currently using since it's big enough to fit the tablet with the gamepad attached, however the analog sticks and triggers are not well protected to my satisfaction. There is also a lot of wasted space being that the tablet with the gamepad while 17 inches long it's not tall or thick enough to fit entire case. Are there any cases available specifically designed to fit the razer edge tablet and gamepad accessory together while offering protection so analog sticks and triggers don't click and move inside?

 

Yep updated to 2.0 and restarted the edge a bunch of times. Keyboard is unresponsive. I'll have to try again tonight when I find a solid wifi connection. Btw Japan is pretty crazy awesome.

 

Sounds like it's defective man. What part of Japan are you in? Make sure you make it to Akihabara while you're there. It's been over 10 years since I've been there but at the time, it was a gamers paradise. I can only imagine how much better it is today.

 

Yep that's where I took that photo. Just left Kyoto for Hiroshima. I'm pretty pissed the keyboard broke because I really needed to get some work done each evening.

It worked in Tokyo but then just died on me. So annoyed. ..not only is it a really terribly functioning keyboard, but it completely dies on me. I packed only one bag so I didn't bring my logitech bluetooth keyboard because I figured I needed the protection of the keyboard cover. The only plus is that I got some great gaming in on the 14 hour flight with the controller.
