Razer Blade 15 Base - 15.6" 4K OLED Gaming Laptop - Intel Core i7 - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 - 512GB SSD - 16GB Memory - Mercury White

This thing is BEAUTIFUL! But I ended up returning it because of one small issue. If it wasn't for this, I'd have LOVED to keep the laptop. But the screen broke me. OLEDS are marketed towards creators and artists because of their wide gamut. But they reproduce all those lovely colors with a very high rate of deviation. Unless you keep this monitor on one, single calibrated brightness level, the colors will shift as you adjust the brightness. If you do color sensitive work, this will probably bother you. I calibrated this monitor about 5 times before figuring out what was going on. I also don't know if it was specific to my unit, but part of the screen was brighter than the rest. With the bad out of the way, this is a really beautifully designed laptop! If you're gaming, you wouldn't notice the small color inaccuracies that a photographer or artist would, the blacks are deep, and colors punchy with this OLED panel. The build is top of the line, all glass and metal- you really feel like you have something special. I'm fans are quiet as laptop fans go in Photoshop and Zbrush. I am not a gamer so I don't know about it's gaming preformance. Protip: Undervolt it and you can get up to 7 hours of battery life, if the low battery life reported in reviews bothers you.

I bought this laptop a couple of weeks ago. So far is has been a great purchase. The screen is crisp and clear and I haven't had a problem playing any of my games. And as some may expect, the build quality is top notch. I have only 3 complaints, though one of them is probably more personal preference but I'm sure others agree. First, the screen, while amazing, does have a glare issue if your light source is at a certain angle. I play a lot in my semi truck and have to have my curtain closed if I'm playing up front. Second is that this sucker get HOT. Internally I haven't gone over 91c, but the body, particularly the keyboard and palm rests get to a point where I start considering trying to cook eggs on it. And third, maybe this just a personal gripe, but the keyboard just doesn't feel right. I miss having the number pad on the right and the arrow keys design just doesn't feel right. But over all a really great gaming laptop.

...what a treat staring at this OLED display on my new Razer Blade laptop. Build quality is excellent and hopefully any future issues, if any, are handled properly by Razer! Thanks to Best Buy on an excellent sale which meant I just couldn’t pass it up! Because if anyone knows me knows I definitely don’t need another laptop...lol. But this is my second Razer Blade LT from BB. A 2018 advance model and I have had zero issues! Also upgraded to a second SSD and RAM is on the way. This really is a fun laptop and I don’t think you’ll regret it... and the mercury white is definitely different and nice! Thanks for reading my review!

Got this laptop around 3 weeks ago and honestly I still can't get over how amazing it is. I love the mercury white finish, it's super sleek looking. The CNC aluminum gives you that premium feel every time you hold it. They keyboard and trackpad are super responsive, there's a ton of ports for basically everything you will need. But the main feature of this model is the screen. The OLED screen is honestly unbelievable. Colors are incredibly vibrant, the screen pops, I still can't get over how beautiful it is to look at. Obviously, be aware that for now, OLED is capped at 60hz on laptop displays. This will change in the future, but for now we're stuck with 60hz. Personally this doesn't matter to me as much as I don't play completive shooters, so I would choose the image quality over the refresh rate. But just keep that in mind if you play those types of games you should probably look at the high refresh options. You can also always hook up a higher refresh monitor via thunderbolt 3 if you do plan on playing those games sometimes. This laptop along with the other razer base models this year have an extra m.2 slot which is a NVME/SATA combo. Obviously the 512gb storage the laptop comes with isn't alot if you're gonna be playing games so I threw in a 2tb drive and I'll be set for a while. The advanced models this year don't have the extra slot so this is actually a pretty big advantage the base model has this year. It's super simple to access the internals and you can also upgrade the RAM to 64gb as well. The battery life is actually bit better than I expected. You should never expect much with a gaming laptop but I was actually getting around 4-5 hours of light work. This is pretty impressive for a laptop this powerful especially one with a 4k OLED screen which will usually drain the battery super fast. Obviously more intensive applications will drain faster but that's with any laptop. Obviously this has some pretty powerful components. Six core i7 pared with a 2070maxq will be giving you some great gaming and application performance. Fan noise is great, basically silent on idle which is always good, some gaming laptops have fans that go nuts doing simple tasks. I really value a machine that I can bring to school or a cafe and not have to worry about my laptop disturbing others. If I had to find a con, it would be that the surface area does get hot while under load, gaming or applications will get this machine toasty. The thermals are actually really good, but the downside of an aluminum build is that it will transfer heat. There's not much you can do about this, this will happen with any aluminum laptop. I'll take the premium and sturdy build quality for some warmth any day. The speakers are also pretty unimpressive. Personally I don't use them too much, but with two speaker grills on the sides of the keyboards I would've thought that I'd be getting better and louder sound. I also think at full price they could've justified putting a 1tb ssd instead of 512 Other than pretty minor complaints, this is almost the perfect laptop. Razer is one of the only companies making laptops with build quality on par with Macbooks and that's something really special. You are playing a premium, however this model has been going on sale for 1899$ lately and at that price, it really isn't asking too much compared to other laptops.

I’m a Mac user and needed a Windows laptop for work and spent a ton of time trying to find the right one. The Razer was perfect because of the build quality and gorgeous screen! I also love the fact that it’s upgradeable. The keyboard is a little different than I’m used to but I do like the backlighting and how I can customize it. I knew I was in for a treat when I saw how quickly it downloaded everything and stayed cool. I only play a few older games and it played them with ease. Video editing in Adobe Premiere was also simple and smooth. I was hesitant to pay the price but it was worth it.

Great laptop. I like the performance and looks overall of this laptop compared to others that I looked at. As is the case with most laptops if used for gaming there are heating issues when pushed (make sure have setting on a hard surface). My laptop was by default set at a relatively high fan speed which caused to be nosier than necessary even when not being pushed. This was resolved by going into the Razer Synapse software and changing fan control to Auto (I was going to return to Best Buy within 30 day window until I resolved this issue).

I was very excited to get the laptop, although once the laptop was tested for performance it wasn’t quite what I made it out to be, or the specs. All software was updated prior to use, and granted I did use it with no cooling pad, but the laptop was as hot as a pan. (Which I now realize you always should use a cooling pad for gaming laptops). Anyways, because of the premium aluminum construction, which is not a bad thing at all, the heat transfers on to your hand, therefore making for a pretty uncomfortable typing experience, or gaming. It’s hot to the touch and it burns if you use it for long enough. As far as the 4K qualities go, they’re great but I found myself using it very rarely for the little amount of time I had it for. I Watched movies and played like 2 games on it, one of them being WarZone. The gaming part is when this laptop just doesn’t do it for me. As previously mentioned it gets hot, and the rendering, as well as refresh rate is poor. Shortly after I bought another laptop from MSI, which runs everything buttery smooth. Although it is warm, it is nothing compared to the heat the Razer gives out. Plus, for the same price, I got a proper 2070 SUPER. Which the sales person emphasized the Razer blade has, and it obviously doesn’t. But whatever. Anyways, I also did some research and found that in the long term, 4K can be detrimental to the laptops life-span and display. This is a PC for moderate users, movie watchers, and perhaps, content creators or college students, but take very good care of it.

This is powerful laptop that can handle any 3D applications and video editing you throw at it. It also has an expansion slot for another m.2 ssd and can handle 64gb of ram. I absolutely love it and the screen is gorgeous. It does tend to get hot quickly, so I recommend a laptop cooling pad with it. Val
