Purpose: I work as a sound mixer in film production and occasionally we have musical elements that require a serious workstation. I needed a powerhouse for multi-tracking Pro Tools. I occasionally game on it, I'd say about 20% of the time, but primarily this is for sound/audio tasking in a professional environment.
Pros:
- specs. I love a laptop that can crush most desktops.
- brilliant screen. Awesome colors, great contrast, and of course 144hz is mandatory for gaming. I can't use 60hz anymore, even for daily office duties, I can see the flicker now, and it fatigues me.
- build quality is superb. It looks fantastic, feels exceptionally well made, definitely puts MacPro aesthetic and "quality" to shame. Also, durability is expected to be top notch. When I'm shopping for new equipment, if it's on demo in a store, I'll go in and do drop tests; spike it into the counter, slam it around, bend the screen, mistreat it, pound the keyboard, hit the trackpad, etc. Out of everything, this felt the best. No creaking of the chassis when you pick it up at a corner, no flex when you push on the case, none of that BS.
- performance is incredible. I've never seen it hiccup or stall on anything, even when recording 5-6 tracks in ProTools with dozens of CPU-intensive plugins running. I loaded up some massive sessions (80+ tracks) with plugins on every slot, and it still wasn't even trying. Now I'll even do quick edits to sessions instead of firing up the desktop rig. I don't play Call of Dooty MW, but all the other modern and less modern games I threw at it were a cakewalk.
- ports. it has the perfect combination. I have the Base model (w/ ethernet), and along with the USB-C port, there's really no reason why you can't match any desktop rig in terms of connectivity. I plugged in my Satechi USB-C breakout, and everything worked simultaneously.
- aesthetic. I have to say it again, it looks phenomenal.
Cons:
(these are VERY pessimistic, like if I was in a horrible mood and someone forced me to say negative things)
- despite the screen being incredible, there is *some* light bleed at the corners (3 of 4, to be exact). I understand this to be a big flaw for some people, but I don't play visually dark games. Even when watching a dark scene in a movie, I can't tell. It's only on bootup when the screen is 99.99% black. Occasionally when Photoshopping I'll notice it, but again, it's very very minor in the overall perspective of having other colors/things on the screen.
- keyboard takes getting used to. after 2 days it felt natural, but it's not the easiest learning curve. I have a mechanical keyboard on my desktop with Cherry Browns, so the contrast couldn't be more extreme, but I can flip flop between the two with no problem now. Also, per other peoples' comments, the arrows are definitely misplaced; they need to be moved one button/column over to the right, or swapped with the shift key.
- battery life is pretty bad. But, this IS a gaming machine/desktop replacement. With screen brightness cranked and playing an intensive game, I can barely make it over 2 hours. Day to day office use with screen brightness set moderately, I can pull maybe 4-5 hours. It does recharge quickly, however.
- fans. they're definitely there. this would be a legit negative trait. If you're in a bone quiet room doing emails and youtube, you'll barely hear them. But, if you're gaming, they get pretty loud. For the performance, this is a small caveat.
- lid logo, this is the only other real "negative" quality for me. In a professional setting, I can't have it glowing, as much as I personally do love it. I skinned it with the matte black cover from SopiGuard. Still looks awesome.
Again, I just want to reiterate these cons are subtle at their worst. I wanted to give a thorough breakdown of the bad qualities, as mild as they are.
Overall: If you can afford it, do it. Get the 4-year warranty through Amazon (Asurion) so you have nothing to lose. I turn on the desktop rig significantly less now, when it's so easy to reach for the Blade and get work done. I'm not a brainless Razer fanatic by any means, but I have to admit, this is the best option out there right now, and I'm becoming a fan.
What drew me to Alienware was their build quality, but honestly, this feels more premium. The Razer Blade 15 is solid, has very little flex, and has a rigid and durable body. Since thermals were one of my biggest worries, I downloaded XTU and noticed that this beautiful little device comes undervolted -100mv which helps tremendously in not generating as much heat. It's SSD is very quick, and if you get the Base model you can put in a 2.5in HDD (you need 4 HDD screws) where the extended battery goes on the Advanced model. My battery life is around 5.75 hours with the screen at 60hz with battery saver on and medium brightness, and about 4ish hours with the screen at 144Hz. It can run Modern Warfare at about 60fps (or more, depending) in high settings with some shaders turned off, and it can run Insurgency Sandstorm at about 85fps in high settings. Running 3DMark on Steam, the way my settings are, I received a 5,388 in Time Spy with graphics at 5,655 and CPU at 4,253, and I received a score of 25,841 in Sky Diver with graphics at 45,357, Physics at 9,297, and combined at 16,592. In Synapse 3 you can assign thermal and RGB profiles to games and some applications which is neat. My only regret in not getting the Advanced model is because of the Per-Key RGB lighting that that has, so if you're into that kind of thing, the Base model only has Single-zone RGB.
Overall, this is a great product in a compact size with a premium feel, and I recommend it for anyone who is looking for a similar product.
I have had this laptop for just about a week and it's everything I've asked for. I bought this as an all around laptop. For my school work it allows me to bring it around and runs productivity apps perfectly. The camera quality is good as far as laptops cameras. It allows me to conduct zoom meetings for class and work with ease. Gaming is a beast with this computer. I can run the new Cold War beta at almost max specs. Gaming is amazing and runs just like these desktops. The only downside is that the frame doesn't compare but that's solely because these are laptop components which don't run to the maxes as desktops. This laptop has handled top gaming while streaming with no strain on the cpu or gpu. The fans, the fans will be loud when run high end titles like Modern Warfare. Although this can ruin silence it's what to be expected when you have these high usages on a sleek laptop. The fans are quieter than expected but are louder than what people expect when comparing this to a desktop. Overall great product and well worth the money.

Model: Razer Blade 15 w/ i7-9750H, 16GB, 256GB SSD + 1TB HDD, GTX 1660Ti, 15.6" Full HD 144Hz Panel
Quality - Right from the unboxing, the experience is a premium one. The black box is beautiful with thick walls, a magnetic flap, and has green accents. The RB15 is wrapped in plastic inside the box. Once unboxed and upon picking up the RB15, its sturdiness, rigidity, and solid build quality can immediately be sensed. It is thin and light yet solidly built. It will be hard to find a better looking and more solid laptop in this class.
Software - Windows 10 Home was free of bloatware, something that separates out Razer from most of the competitors.
Display - The machine came with a BOE 144Hz panel and has minimal flex. When reducing brightness below 99%, this model / panel uses pulse width modulation (PWM) at 200Hz - if your eyes are sensitive to flickering, this may affect you and cause eye strain. Best to test this in person, if you can, before buying. Backlight bleed was negligible, but your mileage may vary.
Keyboard - Single-RGB lit keyboard that has a premium look and feel. Note that key presses are shallow and take some getting used to. Biggest consideration is the layout. The 'up arrow' is in between '?' and the 'right shift'. If you use 'right shift', you will tend to press the 'up arrow' instead. Also, this makes using the arrow keys quite awkward. This may go away once you get used to the keyboard layout.
Trackpad - Extra-large and best in class.
Speakers - Decent sounding and they can go quite loud. There isn't much bass but then again most laptops are similar if not worse.
Performance - Better than average but not top of its class in synthetic tests. SSD and HDD benchmarks were also good. See attached. Both 16GB RAM and 256GB SSD are made by Samsung. 1TB HDD (5400rpm) is from Seagate.
Thermals - During CPU/GPU intensive tasks, the section above the keyboard ran about 45 degrees Celsius. The keyboard was warm but not uncomfortable. On idle, the machine was silent.
Size and Weight - Thin and light. It is thicker than its Advanced counterpart by 2mm (19.9mm total width) but this is unnoticeable unless compared side by side. Weight is 4.6lbs and, as mentioned, the machine is solidly constructed.
Warranty - Comes with a 1-year limited warranty from Razer. There are many stories outlining Razer's challenges with customer service, warranty, and RMAs. If you experience any issues with the machine, you will need to RMA and send it back to Razer in the US. There are many instances where duties / taxes were charged back to the consumer. It is reported that Razer is trying to overhaul and provide a great customer service experience, but it is still early days with less positive proof points than there are negative ones over its history. If this concerns you, best to investigate getting a third-party warranty.
Overall, it is a premium laptop that comes with an appropriate price tag and some considerations. It is very well built and is oriented to performance while being thin and light, all at the same time.
