Razer Blade 15 Advanced Gaming Laptop 2020: Intel Core i7-10875H 8-Core, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super Max-Q, 15.6” FHD 300Hz, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, CNC Aluminum, Chroma RGB Lighting, Thunderbolt 3

I was hoping to get an advanced for a while, as I like the slimmer look, vapor chamber cooling, eight cores and ability to charge via USB-C. Only thing, they are much more pricey than the chunky base models. Amazon Warehouse had an "acceptable" condition one, which means there may have been some scratches etc. Other than the look, which I was fine with having ordered a skin regardless, the laptop works perfectly.Quiet and cool when casual use (like office and college work), yes it gets hot and audible when gaming or editing, but in an all metal body this slim, it really is to be expected. Battery life is nothing fantastic, but fine for a medium coffeeshop stay or a flight wait. This is not an Ultrabook after all, with a GPU and a big screen. The keyboard lighting is brighter on the advanced model too. Oh and upgrading the computer is super easy.To sum, give Amazon Warehouse deals ago, as you can get a great product, with 90 warranty / returns and save some cash. Best purchase I have made in 2021.

Update 08/20/2023The battery eventually inflated and was causing crashing issues, I bought a nock off version from Amazon 6 months ago and its working like new. This thing is still kicking ass and taking names. I plan to continue buying razor laptops after this one kicks the bucket.Living on a sailboat I've had to give up desktop pc's for laptops. I've had many over the years, usually top of the line beefy monsters. They were cumbersome and I always looked like "that guy" at work. After an unfortunate motorcycle accident that destroyed my 17" Clevo (6 core I7 and full 2070) I started looking for something that could not only game, but was also portable and not so flashy at work (The unicorn). I was extremely nervous about the thermals, razer doesn't have a good reputation in that department. But to my surprise I haven't seen temps above 88c on the cpu. This is while playing games like Star Citizen, Arma 3, etc. Although its only been a few weeks of ownership, I couldn't be happier with this slim monster. The battery life is around 5 hours and gets me through a work day no problem (google sheets, scheduling and fleet tracking). PD charging is also extremely convenient if you're tight on space, but honestly the power brick is super small already. Only time will tell for longevity. The fingerprints are horrible, I'll be buying a debrand skin to not only protect from scratches but also my oily ass hands. My only real gripe is having only one storage drive slot, I really would have like 2x M.2's for raid 0 but that's just me being picky.

The media could not be loaded. i love this laptop !!! right now, i could only afford to get a gaming laptop that works alongside school, or i could get a full on PC and not have a laptop for school. its a great machine ! im a streamer, and it consistently pumps out 60fps streams which is really nice. its not super loud so if i want to cool it down on stream i can max out the fans and not have it be super annoying to listen to. the thing about this laptop though is that its SUPER hot. i usually stream minecraft and have discord, streamlabs, spotify, and vtube studio all on at the same time, and it gets quite hot. like, if my food was that hot i’d probably have to blow on it before eating it. its super noticeable when you press down on the keys and you feel it on your fingertips, and its kind of uncomfortable. despite all that, i can get a solid 120fps on every game that i play with no issues. personally, upgrading from an actual potato to this was a legendary change.so to summarize ,,pros : gaming is very smooth ! i love the design and the razed synapse is easy to work around. the rgb on the keyboard is nice looking and pressing on the keys feels nice. the screen is nice and bright and i dont lag whenever i stream and play games at the same time. its easily my favorite laptop ! its light, really aesthetically pleasing, and works just the way i want it tocons: the speakers suck. its really funny to me because on my old potato the speakers are leaps and bounds better than these. not that i use them often, but whenever i want to take a break from my headphones these speakers are not it. the battery doesnt last too long when off the charger, but i havent ran that many tests so it could probably stay on longer if i changed around a few settings to take the computers focus off of performance. it gets REALLY hot. an ice cube could melt pretty fast on the surface of it if i were playing genshin impact on high settings, medium if im streaming and listening to music.overall, i like this laptop because its a lot better than my old one. if i were you, i’d probably sit tight and save up some more money to get the advanced model for that cooling system, or look for something else if you want a cooler laptop. honestly, i think it cools on pretty quickly if you close the game and wait for a minute with the fans maxed, but im pretty lenient when it comes to machines. anyways, i hope this helped !
