[E3 2021] Razer Blade 14 Launches with AMD’s Ryzen 9 5900HX CPU – The Most Powerful 14-inch Laptop in the World is Here

Leave a comment

Razer’s Blade series should be familiar with gamers around the world. After all, Razer has become one of the most valuable and best-known brands in the world of PC gaming. The Blade series kickstarted and revolutionised the whole ultra-thin, ultra-portable gaming laptop industry on its own technically.

The first Razer Blade had an all blacked out Apple MacBook-esque aesthatics but with internals that you could never find on any MacBook Pro. It packed all the right hardware for the ultimate modern gaming laptop at that time basically, but it was packed in a package quite unheard of in a gaming laptop. Of course, that got the whole world excited.

Imagine the hype then when there is a new Razer Blade laptop that is set to launch. Welcome to the Razer Blade 14. Razer claims that it is the world’s most powerful 14-inch gaming laptop and incidentally the thinnest of its type at just below 17mm thickness, or quite a little bit less than an inch at 0.66-inch. They have kept the clean slate design that is pretty much the signature of the Razer Blade series too.

Razer Blade 14 | The Ultimate AMD Gaming Laptop

It is not all looks with no push though. Inside the super thin laptop package is a display with up to 165Hz and up to Quad HD in resolution. This is technically a first in 14-inch notebooks. The 14-inch panel also features up to 100% sRGB and DCI-P3 coverage for the best-in-class colour reproduction on the display. With AMD’s FreeSync Premium technology, screen tearing is a thing of the past. Paired to THX Spatial Audio technology built into the device, gaming and movies are more immersive than before.

To power the super-fast display is an arrangement of equally impressive set of hardware. You get AMD’s most powerful Ryzen 5900HX processor. In this arrangement with AMD, the Ryzen 5900HX is also an unlocked high-performance 8-core CPU built to be the most powerful processor in a 14-inch notebook that is the Razer Blade 14. It is clocked at a maximum of 4.6GHz, which is not just great for games, but for content production as well. Because of the way AMD’s Ryzen Zen 3 processors consumer power too, Razer says that this can get up to 12 hours in battery life.

A powerful CPU needs to be paired to a powerful GPU too though. That powerful GPU comes in the line of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (up to). NVIDIA’s top-of-the-line mobile GPU will keep the 165Hz display running happy at a max resolution of QHD. IT also comes with Resizable BAR to allow memory sharing between the processor and the GPU for better power efficiency and more effective use of the systems depending on what is required in different conditions.

This much power in such a tight package produces another problem on a thin-and-light gaming laptop though. That problem to combat is heat, and with the hardware, a large amount of them. Razer pioneered the vapor chamber technology in the mobile computing space in their first Razer Blade and they are not about the be fazed by the new challenge of heat. They developed a new ultra-low-profile fans with 88 fan blades that are as thin as 0.1mm each, that is as thin as a human hair. The combination of the new ultra-low-profile fans with the proven vapor chamber technology, the Razer Blade 14 keeps itself cool and performing at the highest level.

Unlike plenty of modern ultra-thin notebooks today though, the Razer Blade 14 comes packing in I/O ports. You have one HDMI 2.1 port that supports 4K @120Hz output, no Mini DisplayPort though at our disappointment. You get two Gen 2 USB 3.2 Type-C ports too that supports display output and power delivery. There are two additional USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports for super-fast data transfers, or expansion. There is still even a 3.5mm audio jack that support THX Spatial Audio, so that you do not need to get an adapter, or buy a wireless solution to still enjoy your existing headphones.

On top of all of that, the Razer Blade 14 is made with immersive gaming, and productivity in mind at the same time. The anti-ghosting keyboard is back on the Razer Blade 14. It is a per-key Razer Chroma RGB keyboard too for you to really customise the PC to your own flavour. Like plenty of 14-inch notebook of its class, you get a 720p webcam. But it also comes with an IR blaster for Windows Hello facial recognition login on Microsoft Windows 10 that comes with the notebook.

Alongside the Razer Blade 14, Razer also launched their own revolution in charging technology. They released their Razer USB-C Ga Nitrate (GaN) Charger to the world. It is also Razer’s first and it pushes out a collective 130W in charging power. It can power up to four devices simultaneously (2x USB Type-C, 2x USB Type-A). It is also technically smaller than traditional chargers and even GaN chargers of its type. While it may be a third-party charger to use against your other smartphone, or tablet devices, it also packs all kinds of safety features to ensure that your devices are charged safely and cleverly.  

Price and Availability

The all-new Razer Blade 14 will be available immediately from official RazerStores, selected retail partners worldwide, and Razer.com. There is no colour options here, just the regular black with the green LED backlit Razer logo. You can get your hands on one with prices starting at MYR 9,999 (US$ 1,799.99*).

The Razer USB-C GaN charger is available for pre-order now too for about US$ 179.99 (MYR 741**) in select regions via Razer.com and RazerStore locations. They say that the charger will ship out within 30 days. Again, there is no colour options here other than the standard Matte Black that pretty much a signature of Razer. There are no mentions on its availability in Malaysia at this time.

Nium and Travelex launch new digital remittance offering in Hong Kong

Leave a comment

Travelex International Money Transfer aims to offer Hong Kong residents a faster and convenient method to transfer money overseas

HONG KONG, June 15, 2021 — Travelex, one of the market leading foreign exchange brands, alongside advanced global payments platform Nium, has today announced the launch of its new digital remittance offering ("Travelex International Money Transfer") to users in Hong Kong. Already live in Australia and Singapore, this digital remittance offering – powered by Nium’s global payment rails and real-time payment capabilities – enables Travelex users in Hong Kong to remit money to more than 50 markets across the world almost instantly[1]. 

 

Over recent years, Hong Kong has developed a diversified and inclusive payment ecosystem that enables residents to make instant domestic fund transfers via the Faster Payment System (FPS)[2]. However, cross-border payment remains to be a challenge given the long processing time and high costs involved, with the local government looking at ways to enhance and speed up its cross-border bank remittance services.

Cameron Hume, Managing Director, Travelex Asia Pacific said, "Expanding our Travelex digital suite to offer digital remittance services to users in Hong Kong is a natural next step for us. With social distancing measures still in place across the globe, we understand the growing need for customers to have access to faster and more convenient ways to transfer funds across borders. We are excited to offer this new service to Hong Kong users, providing them a seamless way to send funds abroad."

As part of this partnership, Travelex will leverage Nium’s Remittance-as-a-Service (RaaS) solution, which makes it easier for companies to become payment providers and offer remittance services on their own digital platforms. With RaaS, businesses are not required to build their own payment infrastructure. Instead, they can simply build their brand on top of an existing platform and leverage Nium’s extensive portfolio of regulatory licenses in over 40 countries. 

Prajit Nanu, Co-Founder and CEO of Nium, said, "At Nium, we understand the difficulties for businesses to introduce remittance services at scale. This is why our RaaS solution aims to make it more accessible for enterprises of all sizes to facilitate their own payment systems. With a thriving fintech scene in Hong Kong, we’re excited to introduce this remittance service to help boost the city’s status as a global financial centre."

A Travelex International Money Transfer mobile app will be launched in Hong Kong shortly. Travelex will also continue to expand its digital remittance offering to major markets in Asia Pacific in the coming months. Consumers in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Australia can now access Travelex International Money Transfer via their local Travelex website.

[E3 2021] The Xbox Mini Fridge is Here – The Meme Comes Alive!

Leave a comment

When the current generation of Xbox Series X was leaked in the press years ago, there was a lot of comments on how the boxy design looks. That is naturally always the case with any design renders that comes out of any manufacturers and companies though. Before a product is out in the market or announced, a render leak of what the product would most likely look like might be ‘leaked’ to the press or the public to sometimes create a public hype. It could almost be like a litmus test of whether or not there is genuine interest in the product.

Sometimes it backfires though, and design renders get ridiculed or gets turned into a meme. In the case of the Xbox Series X, the public quickly points out that it looks like a refrigerator of some kind and that quickly turned into a meme. No doubt, there was a lot of excitement about this product coming out of Microsoft. Thanks to the public reaction at the time, it could give the designers of this gaming console a few things to think about.

Welcome to E3 2021 though, where new games get teased and launched. It is also the place where the unexpected can be expected to happen. This year, the unexpected happened on Microsoft’s stage in their ‘one more thing’ segment at the end of their show. They made it.

Microsoft introduced the world to the “world’s most powerful mini fridge” set to hit the stores in the coming months. They call it the Xbox Mini Fridge, which is thoroughly fitting of a name for this little box that holds canned drinks or other things you put in a mini fridge. They also say that it uses Xbox’s clever velocity cooling architecture to keep your drinks cool in the fridge, hence “world’s most powerful mini fridge”. How did this mini fridge meme become a reality though?

Xbox Mini Fridge - World Premiere
f

Twitter Marketing ran a #BestOfTweets championship in April for users to vote on which brands ran the best twitter account. It came down to Skittles and Xbox. Xbox was trailing behind when they announced in their twitter account that they would make the Xbox Mini Fridge a reality if they won the campaign. They did, by 1 percent of votes.

Xbox fulfilled that promise in E3 2021 and the product is actually something that you can purchase later in the year, not just a concept. Except, Microsoft did not say that it will be for sale. They pointed out that it will be available in the holiday season (presumably in the United States), but not its price or where it is going to be available. It could be a free gift if you already own an Xbox, or a bundle if you buy the new Xbox in that season.

Whatever it is, it shows that tech giants like Microsoft are listening to the public and are moving with the public. While it is a little bit more marketing gimmick and move, it also shows that Microsoft has some sense of humour after all. You should be reminded also that Microsoft made a fully sized refrigerator in the shape of the Xbox Series X just for Snoop Dogg last year just because they can.

Eaton launches new micro data centre and UPS offerings to enable performance excellence in edge deployment and energy-efficient power management

Leave a comment

Eaton’s latest iCube 2.0 and 9PX UPS product enhancements aim to deliver edge-deployable, energy-efficient solutions to organisations looking to future-proof their data centre infrastructure.

SINGAPORE, June 14, 2021 — Global power management company Eaton recently announced two new additions to its micro data centre (MDC) and 9PX uninterruptible power supply (UPS) series – the iCube 2.0 and the 9PX lithium-ion UPS. Tailored to address the unique needs and pain points of Asian organisations looking to future-proof their data centre infrastructure, these new regional solutions enable businesses to achieve information and operational technology excellence, while positioning their enterprise for success in the ongoing energy transition.

"Amidst the global shift towards renewables, pandemic-accelerated digitalisation has led to the rise of edge computing. Continued technological advancements are transforming the way data is processed, managed and delivered. Against this backdrop, MDC and UPS solutions are playing an increasingly bigger role in bridging the gap in edge computing and ensuring critical applications keep running with minimal environmental impact," said Jimmy Yam, Vice President, Electrical Sector, East Asia, Eaton. "With prolonged remote working arrangements and expected growth in digitalisation, the need for fast and sustainable computing capacity will only increase. The introduction of iCube 2.0 and 9PX Lithium-ion UPS will help address this demand while still ensuring energy efficiency."

Eaton iCube 2.0 (Micro Data Center 2.0)
Eaton iCube 2.0 (Micro Data Center 2.0)

An upgrade of Eaton’s pre-existing MDC 1.0 solution, iCube 2.0 is designed to address key challenges and common user pain points in edge deployments, such as space constraints and the lack of technical expertise in designing and deploying solutions from scratch.

Unlike the first-generation MDC 1.0 solution, iCube 2.0 can be customised to a variety of rack sizes. IT managers can choose from iCube 2.0’s line-up of cabinet dimensions. This ranges from basic racks outfitted with mission-critical equipment that are designed for small offices, to prefabricated multi-rack solutions for mid-sized to large offices. This flexibility enables organisations to optimise their unit room space utilisation and scale their deployments according to evolving operational needs. It also translates into lower deployment and maintenance costs, ultimately delivering greater cost-effectiveness to organisations with its reduced total cost of ownership (TCO).

As an integrated and prefabricated plug-and-play solution, iCube 2.0 also offers IT managers ease of deployment. It requires minimal maintenance and manpower requirements with its built-in intelligent management software system, which provides comprehensive monitoring of environmental parameters as well as automated alerts and predictive analytics for optimal performance. At the same time, iCube 2.0’s class 8 seismic rating and best-in-class certifications[1] enable it to be safely deployed in unfavourable environments that may be dusty, hot, humid and even earthquake-prone.

The latest addition to Eaton’s enterprise-class 9PX UPS series is a greener, more efficient lithium-ion (Li-ion) refresh of its current VRLA-powered offerings. Benchmarked as best in the market, this product upgrade continues Eaton’s proven track record in Li-ion UPS deployments, particularly in the Southeast Asia region.

With technology advancements driving down production and deployment costs, Li-ion powered UPS solutions have been growing in popularity in recent years due to its smaller footprint, shorter charging cycle, longer lifespan and TCO savings[2].

Outfitted with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries – one of the safest and longest lasting Li-ion solutions currently available in the market, Eaton’s 9PX Li-ion UPS is Energy Star-certified and delivers industry-leading energy efficiency of up to 94% in online mode. Aside from lower CO2 emissions, the UPS solution provides greater floor space utilisation with a smaller physical footprint and overall weight reduction[3]. It is also equipped with intelligent battery management system (BMS) software as well as critical cybersecurity features[4], which provide organisations with the increasingly important ability to optimise energy and capacity management, and protect against hackers.

In addition, the 9PX Li-ion UPS comes equipped with Eaton’s Intelligent Power Manager which allows for deep integration with VMware and HyperV virtual environments, improves infrastructure resiliency against adverse power and environmental events through disaster recovery automation, and enables advanced load shedding capabilities to power critical operational loads longer.

Together with its reduced energy and cooling costs as well as its service life of eight to ten years, Eaton’s 9PX Li-ion UPS delivers overall, long-term TCO savings as it does not require replacement external battery modules, or the additional labour and shipping costs associated. This is particularly true for organisations which face challenges in servicing due to remote locations or large deployments, frequent power outages, or run critical applications that demand zero downtime.

"Constant power is required to keep applications or servers running 24/7, especially in the era of edge computing; but this can be detrimental to the environment in the long run," Yam added. "Balancing business growth and agility in the data-driven economy against sustainability goals is a challenge which organisations will increasingly face. But with the right technology, partners and strategy, businesses will be able to navigate these complex yet complimentary priorities – and ultimately come out ahead."

Businesses looking for innovative solutions to future-proof their data centre infrastructure may also sign up for upcoming webinars and access on-demand videos at Eaton’s Transform Your Data Center resource hub.
