A Little Bit More Than Expected

I am a photographer, video editor, and all-around media enthusiast. I was considering purchasing this laptop, but noticed there were not any reviews on BB. Due to BB's excellent return policy I thought I would try this model out.
I wanted a laptop that first and foremost had a 4K screen with 100% sRGB coverage and would take up as little space as possible in my backpack.
I had great luck with Razer's first 13" model and after a little calibration the colors where phenomenal. I first purchased a Surface Pro 7 which has a disappointing contrast ratio that was very visible. After deciding to spend the money in hopes for a better screen, I was pleasantly surprised with what I found.
The form factor of this computer is very close to 13.3". It fits snug inside of a Thule 13.3" computer case (tried the wife's, now mine is on order). What I really enjoy about this laptops form is that the computer itself is really solid. There is no play when opening or closing the lid. When closing the lid, it is a very soft close. It has a mechanism that does not allow the computer to slam shut. The body is all aluminum and easily fits into a DSLR camera bag with minimal room needing to be allocated (a major feature for my purchasing decision).
Photoshop and Premiere run just fine on this machine. The laptop gets hot, but not to the extent of the first gen Razer laptops. I shoot a 62MP camera, and also an 8K video camera. The laptop did not have any issues keeping up with rendering. Although, almost all of my work is done on a beefy desktop, I didn't notice a considerable lag between my desktop computer and this laptop. However, rendering times take longer as expected given the power difference. I was unexpectedly surprised at how well the laptop handled 4k playback in Premiere down-sampled from 8k. Also the laptop did not freeze in Photoshop 2020 or Premiere 2020 when I ran multiple tasks to include HDR rendering, time-lapse Rendering, facial AI recognition editing software or simple photo editing.
I do like to play games once in a while, but the kinds I enjoy would run on a potato. This laptop had no issues running Starcraft, 7 Days to Die, or Diablo.
The speakers are pretty terrible, however I use headphones 90% of the time.
This computer mainly serves as my home-away-from-home machine, as I am in love with my desktop setup. After running a battery of tests and complex edits. I can tell you this laptop can keep up to task without any issues. Also, the screen is incredible after it's calibrated. It does just as well as my $1800 ProArt screens on my desktop. The colors of the screen have deep blacks, and perfect skin tones (again, once calibrated).
If your looking for a portable semi-powerhouse of a machine to supplement your current media workflow, I would highly recommend this machine.

I was thinking about buying a dell first and came across this wonderful machine. I tried it and love it at first sight. Awesome quality. Touch screen is superb. Highly recommend.

Screen is smaller the 13.3 inches, it is around 12”. Computer heats up real fast while playing games ( Since the company that builds is a gaming company did not expected to heat up as fast). Wouldn't recommended, for that prize I would expect to get a computer that deliver what promises. Side note, you cant find cases to protect your laptop only skins and sleeves not even in razers website, which I personally dislike.

I played on console for a few years and I needed a laptop for school. I wanted something for gaming and for school. This is perfect. I get good fps in most shooters with little hitches.
