Razer Blade 15 Gaming Laptop: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070-13th Gen Intel 14-Core i7 CPU - 15.6” QHD 240Hz - 16GB DDR5 RAM, 1TB PCIe SSD - Windows 11 - CNC Aluminum - Chroma RGB - Thunderbolt 4

I just bought my 2nd one of this 3080 ti laptop. The first one we purchased 6 months ago for my wife, and has performed amazingly over that period. I previously had a 2019 model that I passed down to my teenage son who games constantly on it to this day with 4 years of amazing performance. I’ve owned MSI, ASUS. Dell/Alienware, and this is by far the highest quality of the bunch equaling the MacBooks I’ve owned for work in design, heat performance and build quality.Pros:-Very high quality aluminum case. This is not your run of the mill plastic gaming laptop. Wouldn’t look out of place in a conference room, almost looks like a black MacBook Pro with zero logos/lettering other than the Razer trademark.-Even playing fairly demanding games, the fans barely come on, and when they do, they are far quieter than my MSI.-Screen is phenomenal for seeing dark areas and great colors/viewing angles.-3080 ti graphics with 16gb of on board video ram, +32gb of ram future proof this machine significantly. The laptop this machine replaced had a first gen 8gb 3080 and this card destroys it.-Wi-Fi seems to be extremely fast, much faster than the laptop I replaced it with.Cons:-Screen is gorgeous, with great viewing angles, dark contrast, and amazing colors, but could have slightly better overall brightness. Almost reminds me of a OLED TV.-Price, but you’re paying for a premium product and one that I’ve found after 4+ years of owning Razer laptops, is well worth it. I will continue to give Razer my money if they keep this level of performance/quality up, and I was able to buy it significantly on sale ships/sold from Amazon LLC.

I did a lot of research. I love this computer and games perfectly. If I had to give it one downfall, it does get a little hot one under heavy loads, so maybe invest in a laptop fan with it.

It had Māori language packs installed for some reason, which makes me a bit worried about supply chain security or if it was an refurb Amazon sold as new, consider this when ordering from Amazon vs razr directly. It’s also Windows 11 Home or whatever the cheap windows version is called. This version doesn’t support bitlocker encryption which is really necessary for laptops in case they get stolen, you need to pay a 99$ upgrade to do so.

Computer works well and is quiet compared to other gaming laptops I've owned. I'm not a huge fan of the keyboard, but other than that, it runs great.

We have bought this laptop three times due to internal/external failures. This laptop has never made it to two years. If you purchase this YOU MUST BUY INSURANCE, or just take your $2000 out back and set it on fire, because the fan consistently overheats, the power cord design is terrible and has failed twice. First two of the 3 internal prongs broke off, and now the unit got so hot it melted the plastic end piece of the cord, so it no longer functions. The fan is unable to keep up with the internal graphics card, so it gets SUPER HOT to the point it can't be touch without burning oneself. Now, the internal components are great. This is the RazerBlade 15 RTX 4070, 16 GB/ 1TB, which we pay for, and then pay for, and then pay for. Every time we "return" this for "repair" Assurion sends us a check, so we have to pay the NOW price for the same thing roughly every 6-9 months. If you are up for the consistent swap out of equipment, enjoy skin burns and having to deal with the insurance return and repurchase delay......then this laptop is for you! One half thumb up! I can't convince my son to GO WITH ANOTHER option. My other son has a Lenovo Legion 7 and that has worked perfectly for 4 years. In fairness, he has it fixed on his desk with a fan pointed at it, so it's cooled with external sources, which is needed for the RazerBlade.

I have 2 gaming desktops at different locations that needed replacement and decided to use one laptop to replace them with. I have external monitors keyboards, mouse, game pads and internet connections setup and want to just plug and play the laptop as a base unitWell first the laptop has no external RJ45 port, so you have to buy an adapter. The laptop also doesn't have a display port - I thought the HDMI would work - but nope. You need a display port to c port adapter. My monitors have HDMI - but the laptop runs the HDMI on the internal display card not the RX card, so G-Sync doesn't work unless you plug into the laptops c Port (thanks Redit).You get 3 usb ports - so with game pad, keyboard, mouse, headset and external camera your short - so need a USB hub.The laptops come with no cables - not even an HDMI one. It only come with a brick of a power cord and a Razer sticker: so, covers, cords, everything else you need - you have to buy.My laptop arrived DOA (Windows 11 would not install) and I contacted support who emailed me a Google search of the issue, which I already had done and didn't work before calling. I managed to get it working after hours of work (I have a fair bit of computer knowledge). Like others have said - don't count on support from this company -they have no idea and are terrible.Now the good - the laptop physically is solid - love the metal chassis. I had no issues with the laptop screen - it is beautiful. The system itself is fast and very responsive. Sitting on my desk it gets very warm, almost hot to the touch, so you'll need something underneath. the power cord is proprietary - so don't lose it!If you use this just as a standalone laptop this will work great but start adding monitors and other devices - you'll need many connectors/adapters.Overall, this is great laptop with poor support, no extras, some poor engineering features, with a very high price point.
