This laptop served me perfectly! I lightly used it for gaming "without recording" and animating on Unreal 5 and it never gave me any issues, it only slowed down if i had chrome open in the background! Watch your ram like any pc and youll be fine for single browsing/gaming.

For the price it was on sale for I decide to give it a try, however the issues and options for newer devices coming out this year for a comparable price are the reasons why I returned it. The build and material are good however this cause the laptop to feel hot. Fan noise is loud and and activates when having multiple tabs open. Not great for a quite environment. Being a new 2020 model, in late 2021, early 2022 is not worth it when newer device are being release for a comparable price.

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.

Had it for a little bit and I love it. Runs every game that I want to play very well, have had just about zero issues graphically. Can get a bit warm when running high spec games but I kind of expected that and it's not too bad. The OLED screen looks fantastic, really worth it.

Pros: Display and the design of this laptop is definitely my favorite thing about this laptop. Can never go wrong with Mercury White.
Cons: Laptop seems to get hot right when i start gaming so that's something to look out for. Also, GPU is a MAX-Q but it's still runs games smoothly.

Razer is known for their great build quality. I will say this laptop feels premium. The OLED screen is beautiful. However the price isnt worth it. I wanted to love this laptop. I really did. Sadly my little ol Asus G14 out performed it at 2/3's the cost. Great looking laptop, but with AMD on the horizon with their FANTASTIC new Ryzen chips I couldnt justify paying more for something slower. Ill try Razer again next year, and hopefully they adopt AMD.

I will never go back to another panel type. Seeing OLED screen on a laptop is a game changer. Very fast machine, I personally enjoy gaming on it a lot more, but I just do mainly RTS type games. It is fantastic to see the detail and the 4k makes it that much better. Well built machine, and is similar to a macbook pro or surface book in quality. Keyboard is a bit hard to get used to typing and I keep hitting rubbing the trackpad at times. Not a deal breaker but just worth mentioning.

Got this open box and am not disappointed. The RTX 2070 mobile beats my 1080 desktop in benchmarks handily. Build is solid, display is gorgeous with vibrant colors. Solid system for both gaming and editing!

Great laptop, but make sure you have the correct graphics drivers. If you don't, it will drain your battery. You should be getting about 4 hours, if you have the wrong drivers, it will be hot all the time and you get like 1 hour. Uninstall all graphics drivers, then reset. Let windows install it's drivers and that should be good. Check fan settings in cortex. Screen is amazballs.

One of the nicest laptops on the market that is not made by Asus or Apple. The screen is excellent. The build quality is certainly premium.
I can only imagine what a fully spec'd out one feels like. I look forward tl using this laptop for years to come. Paired it with a Razer Viper mouse and I love the combination. Sleek style with impressive build quality and very good performance for students or power users. Effective for playing games like Rocket League or even Bioshock Infinite! Even though it's certainly a little over-priced, if you can afford to splurge for build quality and form factor, then well worth it. Love this purchase.

Not quite a gaming laptop in a business fashion.

The design of this laptop certainly shows its age. 20mm thickness in this design actually makes you feel it’s even thicker. The aluminum touch of this laptop does not feel smooth and the build quality is way behind compared with the Apple one. I thought it’s close with the Apple feel since they both use the same material and (similar?) design. The actual build quality of this product is still not close with the Apple standard or even dell.
Regular use is OK, but I feel like they under clock the CPU the whole time and it does not perform better than my Alienware M15 with a 8750h CPU inside. I don’t know why but this 4K laptop can not quite handle the 4K YouTube video play, fan is crazy during high resolution video playback.
Gaming is smooth. With a 10750H + 2070 max Q it can handle most title. It can play the NFS the heat with ultra settings in 4K with FPS of 30. That’s pretty impressive. Drawback here is still the aluminum, it will burn you in gameplay, super super hot, especially on the keyboard and above area.
If you are checking this one wanting a business looking laptop with decent gaming performance, sadly, this one does not quite check the box for it’s old design and build quality. Maybe wait a few more month when they drop the price for the advance model or look for other alternatives.

Very good quality of laptop. Runs just about everything on max settings while gaming but it does run very hot and the fans on full blast have a hard time of cooling it down. I recommend a cooling pad or just having them on full blast with some noise cancelling headphones. Everything but the fans are perfect on this laptop.

Switching from Mac to PC I was hesitant to find a product of similar quality. This laptop checks all the boxes as far as being a high-quality build. The 4K screen is VERY nice. Gaming has been nothing short of amazing on this laptop at 4K. If you are trying to play at the highest FPS for games obviously you'll want to go with one of the higher refresh models. Besides that, however, this has been a great Macbook replacement so far.

Very powerful notebook, took everything I could throw at it. Well constructed and I really liked this laptopl
Picky stuff:
- The fan is loud at all RPMs so if you are sensitive to this look elsewhere.
- The keystroke travel was a bit shallow for my preference.
- The touchpad is very sensitive to palm hits causing your cursor to jump which is very annoying. Most of the time I ended up using an external mouse with trackpad disabled to avoid. Tried several tweaks in software and also reg hacks via internet documented methods but it didn't improve.

I would give it 5 stars... Display is drop dead gorgeous, build quality feels top notch, graphics is powerful enough. However, giving it 3 stars I feel is being generous due to the poor heat management. If you game regularly on it, the laptop will generate enough heat to eventually cause the battery to bulge. Symptoms for this is the TouchPad will no longer click. Very common problem across generations of Razer Blade notebooks. I waited too long to inspect my notebook when I noticed the TouchPad stopped clicking, I was literally 1 day past warranty expiration when I opened the RMA request. To Razer's credit, their support provided shipping label and repaired/replaced battery very quick. 4 day turn around time from the time I dropped it off at FedEx and got it delivered back to me.

I purchased this laptop for school, gaming, and that beautiful OLED screen. However, Idid have a few other minor issues one of them being the 60 hz display great for creators not so much for gaming. I did end up returning for the 2020 Razee Blade advanced 15 1080p 300hz model. I also loved the sleek mercury white edition.

I love this laptop. I went for this model because I don't play a lot of competitive online games. Because of this, the high refresh rate of other SKUs is not very important to me. The OLED on this is amazing! An experience unlike anything else. Absolutely love it for games, movies, and any other video content. Also love the mercury white color. No more fingerprints!

Always use a Cooling Pad -We replaced the RAM to 32GB and added an 1TB SSD Drive in the open slot where the bracket was waiting for it. The OLED DCI-P3 100% coverage makes one smile.
This is great for gaming and Davinci Resolve.
