Measurements used a Razer Blade 16 RZ09-0581 with BIOS 4.00. OpenBlade build d13fd31 was measured on September 3, 2026, including the tray, service, and Session Agent. After one hour, private working set was sampled once a second in two states: 90 MiB with the tray hidden and 96 MiB with the Dashboard open. A fresh start used about 163 MiB until Windows trimmed the three working sets about 15 minutes into a 26-minute idle run; the reduction did not reverse. Background CPU is the average of 90 one-second samples with the tray hidden, normalized across 16 logical processors. The service accounts for almost all of it; the tray accounts for 0.004 points. Razer Synapse 4.0.698 was measured separately on July 23, 2026, covering 31 processes and eight services. Synapse was not remeasured with this settling method.
