Customer Ratings & Reviews

I absolutely love this laptop. It runs everything I need flawlessly, The Chroma lit keyboard looks and feels great, and its so light weight its great for storage and travel. Very few stores will ship laptops overseas to bases in Afghanistan. I am very thankful to best buy for supporting troops, and shipping it to me while I'm over here.

I was set on buying an MSI GS75 stealth until I handled the Razer in the store. The MSI GS75 had a creaky hinge, and plastic everywhere. It was not as well built as my 2014 MSI Ghost Pro. I have never purchased a Razer product until now because of the gaudy green logo and theme, but the Razer Blade won me over with the solid chassis. I also love the thin bezel, tolerate the weird keyboard, and enjoy best trackpad I've felt on a laptop. It is almost good enough that I don't desperately reach for a mouse as soon as I open the laptop. On the other hand, I find that resting the base of my thumb on the front edge can be mildly painful. The edge at the notch catches my skin. I'll just build a callous, not a big problem. I am highly disappointed with the built in power management. The screen should switch to 60hz automatically on battery unless you are gaming. The screen should automatically switch to 144hz if you are gaming. For the premium you pay to have a beautiful chassis and an obnoxious green logo, you should also have automated overclocking and undervolting if desired for both performance and battery life modes. I bought it and immediately covered the top to hide the logo from clients and employees. There are skins for this, but it's a shame to cover the beautiful metal. I bought the 2060 because it is plenty of power for 1080p 144hz FPS gaming. If you have money burning a hole in your pocket go for the 2080, although it only comes in the downgraded Max Q version. Overall this is the best laptop I have ever owned, and the price is 95% justified. Fix the refresh rate switching and battery management and this thing would be as close to perfect as you can get in an RTX thin gaming laptop.

Pros: ● It's running dual-channel RAM right out of the box unlike the MSI GS65 and Aero 15X, which increases frame rates about 30%. ● The aesthetics are the best you're going to find on any high-end laptop. It trumps its competitors the Dell XPS 15, Gigabyte Aero 15X, and MSI GS65 here. ● It's upright firing speakers have superior sound quality to its competitors as well. ● The RTX models have improved thermals in comparison to the 2018 GTX models. ● This is the best trackpad on a Windows machine that you're going to find. The only better trackpad on the market is on a Macbook Pro. Cons: ● Coil whine, coil whine, coil whine. Know what you're buying folks. Some units have less coil whine than others, but all RTX units have coil whine. I've gone through four different units at this point and they all have it. If you find one with acceptable coil whine I'd advise keeping it or opting for a non-RTX laptop. ● The speaker grills can easily be dented. Handle with care, as even pressing your fingernail on the grill can and will damage it. ● Lastly I'll include this but it's not as big of a deal to me personally but I know it will be to some of you out there and that is battery life. Expect 4-5 hours of battery life. You'll get more if you unvolt your unit, but out of the box you're getting 4-5 hours. The only light-weight gaming laptop that gets considerably more is the Aero 15X, and it's riddled with issues of its own. All in all I'm happy with my purchase. The only large issue I have with this laptop and the Razer brand in general is coil whine. Every iteration of their laptops seems to have it. If they fixed this they'd have a nearly perfect product. It's a shame, but it still trumps its competition in 2019. It should be noted that I had more issues with coil whine on the 2070 Max-Q versus the 2060 model I finally settled with.

First device I received had an issue with the trackpad and power supply. Returned it for a new replacement. The replacement works well. Battery life is ok. I can get 4-6hrs with light to moderate usage. The RTX 2060 works and can playback 4K 60fps footage in Resolve with ease. Razer software is broken at times. Chroma doesn't apply the correct profile without internet connection. Thermals can be bad on the i7, it thermal throttled in Beat Saber. Turning down the settings resolves the issue. Only other issue is slight capacitor whine (more notable on the RTX card in Resolve, but can be heard when the device is booting and at idle. Fans seem to drown out the noise. This is not coil whine. I would not recommend this as a main device or a college machine. Only get this if you are willing to put up with potential issues. It's not a bad device, but Razer does have Quality Control issues, even if they are better than before. Make sure to get a warranty.

The razer blade 15 is a very powerful machine with great performance no matter what you are doing on it and is built into this thin chasey that allows it to be very portable for a gaming laptop. The only downsides are that it does run a little hot at times playing games and it is prone to noticeable scratches, however, you can rub them off.

I was a little hesitant after hearing about quality control issues but so far I have not had any problems. The 144hz screen is great to use, as well as the trackpad. It has plenty of power for what I do. One thing I do find annoying is the massive charger, but the laptop does charge fast.

The laptop is great but kind of pricey. The laptop is getting hot when playing games, think this is normal for playing games on laptop

Amazing computer while it was working. One week in and it kernel panicked to its end. Geek Squad stated it would be 3-4 week turn around which was not do-able for me. I am a music producer so I do have deadlines on important projects. I had a 24 month coupon code that was unfortunately wasted in the end. The product was amazing while working so I won't fault Razer on that side... I'm sure I got a dud. I purchased the new MacBook Pro and it works wonders. I'll be keeping an eye out for future Razer products.

Although this laptop gets hot (due to the thinness and power), this laptop runs great with no issues. My laptop his little to no coil whine and no issues setting up. Highly recommend if you have the money. There are cheaper options with the same features gaming power, but none as nicely built in my opinion

Hi, love the size ,ease to use . Problem came when trying to down load a game ,I already play on my pc. It would not play,said app error. found drvers not updated,tried through nvidia and razor tech, could not get it to accept update on drivers. Told me to take it back to geek squad ,for hands on tech work.

It's just the right laptop I was looking for. I would recommend to a friend.

This is a great laptop. I using mostly for video editing and it performs really well. The design is great and looks really cool/fancy. My only 2 issues...this is a fingerprint magnet (really bad) and i am not a big fun of the keyboard. For the price, this should not be an issue. Coming from a MAC, overall this is a really great option

i love this laptop definitely would buy again and more from razer
