I'll be bringing you guys some more videos comparing the Razer Blade 15 and other top thin and light power house laptops. So stay tuned for those coming up! Mega-Giveaway is still going on! th-cam.com/video/m3ChY7MPYmQ/w-d-xo.html Note 9 Giveaway is over. Ivan from NJ won! Congrats dude! V-Bucks and Galaxy Skins have been given away to all 3 winners!
This thing where every youtuber complains about the lack of an SD card slot is really annoying. Yes, you're a TH-camr and you probably edit a lot of videos, but 99 percent of the target audience don't want or need an SD card slot. On those rare occasions we need to use an SD card, we can use an adapter.
We need after effects, 3Ds Max, Premier Pro 4K video, rendering (Time) comparison between Razer blade, MSI, Dell precision workstations. That would be help for any digital artist, who gonna buy a new laptop for his works. Thank You
this is how tech reviews should be done, straight and to the point, also comparing the proposed review unit to other similar units in the market, thank you sir 🤘
This is the first time I’ve ever seen this channel and I am so glad that I ran across it... I look forward to watching more of your videos and just subscribed. Keep up the great work! 👍
I don't know much about Pcs/Laptops but I am going to be going to college soon and I'm trying to find a laptop that I can both play games, like Overwatch and Call of Duty to name a couple, but also will perform great for any type of school needs. I've been having a difficult time deciding if I want a Razer or not, and cannot find a good laptop from another manufacturer simply due to my lack of knowledge. Would the new Blade 15 be a good pick or should I find another?
check out digitalstorm.com I just bought an equinox for like $1850.. has pretty much the same internals i-7 8750h with 1070 max q , 512 ssd and 16 GB of ram.
Corey Dickerson i do like the look of the blade tho. The equinox imo looks clearer as being a for gaming but the blade does have a professional kind of look without the keys lit up
the big factor for me was that digital storm let me do the buy now pay later option.. I didnt have 2k to go buy a computer so that was my biggest decision maker but it's worth it but the key lighting has options you can turn off the lighting if you dont like it
but also I'm just not a huge fan of the fact that razor ups their price so much.. their "brand" will cost you an extra couple hundred bucks just because it is a razor
Alexandr Garlock Yup! Awesome laptop I get compliments all the time for it. Only issue I have is the poor battery life and how hot it gets when playing games
We have had so many reliability issues with Razer laptops. God knows how it's going to be with a 6-Core machine. We ordered one for one of our VR developers, I hope it's better.
The backlight bleed issue a common problem with the 15'' just like it was with the 14''. That and other QA issues (and Razer's notoriously bad tech support when bad units are shipped) make this notebook difficult to recommend. The Aero just objectively beats it for sustained performance (as does the Zephyrus M, though the battery life is a problem with that SKU I still prefer it because of Gsync).
It is unfortunate that their support is so awful because this laptop look nice, until it breaks. I am on a wait list for the Strix SCAR II, even with its comically ugly WASD keys.
I address this at the 10:42 in the video. I recommend if you buy this laptop, get an extended warranty through a trusted 3rd party, such as Bestbuy, HIDEvolution, etc. That way you don't have to deal with Razer directly and issues will be taken care of. And for the back light bleed, its best to buy from a place with a good return policy so you can take it back for a different one if its bad.
GizmoSlipTech Getting a third party extended warranty would help to address the repair/QA issues, but it also makes the value argument for the Blade 15 even worse compared to the Aero or Zephyrus M that are already both cheaper and higher preforming. Adding a third party warranty is adding additional cost (in addition to potentially more shipping cost if you live in a rural area). I like the aesthetics of the blade 15 but that's really all it has going for it.
What I'd like to see is a laptop that utilizes the entire screen area instead of being stubborn sticking to 1920 x 1080, go with 3:2 or 16:10 to utilize the entire potential screen surface area. It would also look much better too instead of having that thick useless bezel at the bottom. At least in my opinion it would look a lot better.
I've seen many big names do a 'review' of this laptop, but I felt only your review was an actual run down of this laptop, with (hopefully) honest opinions. So big kudos to you, you've produced better content than the big names. Keep up the great work!
SuperMcNasty Boi Yes. Mainly web development apps. Like a good text editor. Google chrome open, and fire fox with a lot of tabs. I’ll also have to have a local host running in the background too.
Just correcting one mistake.. XTU does work on this laptop. It has been tested and monitored and there are no issues for those that prefer it over TS. I did 6 tests back to back on Cinebench and here are my scores: 1223, 1217, 1228, 1221, 1214, 1228. Undervolt is -0.135.
That's some great scores. XTU wouldn't work with mine. Would switch from adaptive to static voltages changing the voltages at all. Maybe a driver or different bios than yours... Not sure. I've used XTU on many other laptops no problem.
Very interesting. You may have had a "bad" unit. There has been one Bios update since launch but it was just for USB disconnect issues. I do find that the power limit kicks in too early on this laptop, but I am working with Razer to hopefully fix that with a Bios/EC firmware update.
I purchased the 15" (1060 Max-Q & 144 Hz Best Buy version) a few days ago and no complaints. Best Buy this weekend has dropped the price by $500 and now I'm thinking of going after the Razor Blade Pro. Seeing that you have experience with both of them, would you go after the 2017 Pro over the 2018 15"?
I always see people knock laptops for not having a full size SD slot, I've never used an SD card reader ever. I've never needed to. What are people using SD Cards for so much that I'm missing out on???
Is it worth waiting for the 4k version? I don't like the backlight bleed and I will use it for photoshop, video editing and playing some games like Dota 2, Overwatch and Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 4
Those games would play fine with 4k screen, and editing photos,etc would be better with 4k screen since more RGB color. So yeah, 4k screen is probably a good choice for you.
Gian Ganaja i think its likely to be the same, but its all about luck rather than an issue with the screen From every review I've seen the bleed is different, some better, so its a lottery which means its definitely worth waiting for the 4k Check out your countries return rules. In the uk you can return for any reason in 14 days or 30 days if you buy from amazon So if you buy one and the bleed is bad, return it for a different one asap
@@tr1stan706 That sounds kinda weird. Im gettinh around 3500 euros per month. Tho im doing 12-14h during saturday and sunday and 8h shifts during the weeks. Could easily buy one, but i have no time for gaming :D. New car or a house, haven't thought of it yet.
Brandon Scozzari it can slowly fatigue the electrical components, but the main issue is that the battery will fail/swell after a few years of constant use in high heat. But, that can be replaceable easily.
I keep seeing really bad reviews about the Razer blade 15 and how the chargers all die out within 3 months or so, is this really worth buying? My old Asus gaming laptop is way past due and I’m in college looking for nothing fancy but something to do school work and play a few games on
Can you do a video about big and fugly laptops based on thermals and performance. Thin is nice but looking for a functional laptop to replace my old desktop. Best vents etc, and or under volting?
What I'd like to see is a laptop that utilizes the entire surface area for the screen instead of being stubborn sticking to 1920 x 1080, go with 3:2 or 16:10 to utilize the entire potential screen surface area. It would also look much better too instead of having that thick useless bezel at the bottom. At least in my opinion it would look a lot better. Regarding Pubg frame rate. This is a very common problem in pubg. When you hot drop your frames will end up being much lower even on desktop power horse computers. Some times the frames are cut by 50%. Basically your frames will be lower if there are other players in the near by area.
It's really good. Perfect even as you sit a little closer when pc gaming. Th is from someone who has used some big tvs in my time - the screen is really good and big enough.
Hi @GizmoSlipTech I am a concept artist who mainly uses the laptop for photoshop to create concept art and just play league of legends sometimes, do you think it will be a good laptop to buy? (also I mainly use an external harddisk to save my artworks as well). looking into getting a slimmer laptop as i have an Alienware R3 17" right now and am planning to upgrade to a more portable and relatively flexible gaming/work laptop for on the go.
The Razer Blade 15 would work well for you, though it might be even overkill for just playing LoL and art programs. I supposed overkill is good in case you switch to a game that needs more power though, so there's that. Really it just comes down to what you like/can afford/value in a laptop.
Owned two blades so far, adapters die within months, laptops die a little over a year. Battery bloats. Only 1 year warranty. Of course it's worth buying!
MSI GS65 Stealth does not have a 2.5 inch drive bay (I needed 1 1TB SSD in addition to the 256 M.2) and it doesnt feel as premium as the Razer but they are a close match! :)
So I hear so much complaints about the Razer Baldes or products just breaking in like a week. And the only reason why I still have this on my list is because I’am a music producer and they come with Fl studio. Do you guys think it would be worth it to get it? Are the problems with the Razer products really that bad? I’m currently looking at the Msi Gs63
I hear these things are having a lot of problems like screen bleed, bad audio and base, dead pixels, broken adapters, bloating batteries, overheating, motherboards falling apart and bad customer service. For the price Razer charges, I would think they would be better.
Had it and return it. Keyboard got too hot when I'm not even gaming. Battery life sucks even when not gaming. Makes a really loud noise when not gaming.
I think they will replace The pro because 2/3 Blade Models got a new Design and The pro has still the old design and those cards are expensive which fit with the pro
What do you mean not XTU compatible. I ran it successfully and when I undervolted too much my razer blade 15 shut down. XTU is compatible. It is just does not work together with throttlestop.
Razer's support isn't just sub-par, their QA in the first place seems to be questionable. Even their repairs in my experience have been hamfisted. Reviewers seriously need to stop blindly and enthusiastically pushing this company. Their products have known issues. It's like playing roulette...
I literally recommend buying a 3rd party warranty in my video. How am I being blinded? If you are worried about QA on your unit, buy it from a place with good return policy so you can return for a different unit if you have an issue on the one you get. I personally haven't had any issues (I own a Razer Blade Pro), though many people have, but that's just like literally every other laptop manufacturer out there. None of them are perfect. You are blind if you think so. In 2018, where you buy the laptop from matters more than what brand you get in my opinion.
You are blinded because there are far better alternatives out there and people literally look to you guys to advise them on quality BRANDS and products. Putting your viewers through the nightmare of the Razer chain because "you recommend buying a 3rd party warranty", really? How can you look past such a glaring downside and still even vouch for this thing? How about just advising them not to spin the bottle in the first place. Numerous forums, on Razer's own websites (which they've nuked), Reddit threads, and the plethora of videos on this very platform point to a lapse in design sensibilities with their products. Furthermore, yes it is 2018 I'm glad you know the year. Perhaps in 2018, we should hold manufacturers to a higher standard, especially the ones charging a premium like this one. Their market share is far too low for this number of failures and the Razer Cult is really good at drowning out legitimate concerns about these products. Do better.
Shem Best what are the better options? The only one that comes to mind is the GS65, but it's not clear that MSI's build quality/customer service is any better than Razer's.
Im looking too buy a laptop too replace my outdated desktop. Reason i want a laptop is because i will be traveling a lot more then i have in the past, so i want too be able too bring my comuter with me. When traveling i have no problem playing games on very low settings, alsong as i sit around 70+ fps. When at home, i would want too use 2x 144gz 1440p monitors (obviously just playing on one), an external mouse and keyboard and headset and sit at 100+frames. Money is not a massive deal, but i obviously dont want too spend more then what i need. Would it be a good idea too get something around the 1000dollar price range, with a gtx1060 too make it handle games while traveling, and then spend money on a eGPU for better performance at home (perhaps when the 11 series is released), or would it be better to go for the 2000dollar price range?
I will also only be playing while having access too a table and power outlet, so im thinking a thin and light might not be the way too go, i assume they always have worse cooling.
Hi please can you tell me if is it 100% metal (Keyboard side, around screen side, below the laptop What about the thickness of the metal is it easy bendable like the MSI GS63VR ? Thank youuuuuu.
SuperMcNasty Boi because the razer with 144hz and 1070 was 700 dollars more or something I got my Alienware plus 3 year warranty and shipping all for 2,148. While the base price without warranty or anything of the razer with a 1070 and a 144hz screen was 2,699. I’m going to be taking the laptop to class and frankly I’d rather have a heavy more durable computer than something lighter and more prone to breaking. Plus I heard the thermals on the razer weren’t the best, the Alienware has got so much fan and vent space.
The True Gamerz Dynamite It's 2,399 in the states, but you get 10% off if you're a student (thanks Microsoft). The RB15 is rediculously sturdy. It had absolutely no flex in the chassis when I tried it out. The GS65 flexes like...Well...plastic. haha and the thermals aren't too bad. I gamed for an hour on it with it being room temperature to the touch. That was the 1070 model. But to each of their own I guess. I need something ultra portable since I usually carry my work laptop 4lbs along with my school laptop. So every pound counts when walking miles each day.
I'll be bringing you guys some more videos comparing the Razer Blade 15 and other top thin and light power house laptops. So stay tuned for those coming up!

Desktop replacement proboly but I don't think the battery is that good
What do U recommend, this computer or the razer blade pro(base model) from 2017? Thanks
1:47 or you can get the base model
So I hear so much complaints about the Razer Baldes or products just breaking in like a week. And the only reason why I still have this on my list is because I’am a music producer and they come with Fl studio. Do you guys think it would be worth it to get it? Are the problems with the Razer products really that bad? I’m currently looking at the Msi Gs63
I hear these things are having a lot of problems like screen bleed, bad audio and base, dead pixels, broken adapters, bloating batteries, overheating, motherboards falling apart and bad customer service. For the price Razer charges, I would think they would be better.
Had it and return it. Keyboard got too hot when I'm not even gaming. Battery life sucks even when not gaming. Makes a really loud noise when not gaming.
Would this work as a workstation if you wanted to use 3d modeling software like Blender, Autodesk or Sketchup?
Totally, I would recommend a cheaper alternative.
what happened in the iPhone X give away? ?
is the only storage on this device that 1 ssd? surely theres a bigger second drive right?
Just the SSD, but you can replace it
Do you think it´s possible that they´ll build a new 15inch one until august 2019 including the new RTX type of GPU?
I think they will replace The pro because 2/3 Blade Models got a new Design and The pro has still the old design and those cards are expensive which fit with the pro
This laptop with a repaste and an undervolt could be really awesome!
Lol yeah worth buying. yet after purchasing this after a week, charger died. 😂😂😂
Jam Chua damn I keep mine plugged in 24/7 too
@@technicdrop1924 Your charger still good? I keep hearing that.. just bought my Razer Blade
last week
Sean just returned my Razer Blade, nothing wrong with it but I want the new 2070 card
@@technicdrop1924 Lol nice. Thanks for the reply.
I have watched actually every single one of your vids
Hey how do I receive Gaming laptop review units for my TH-cam to review?
Sooo CPU performance is better on the Aero 15X?
Can you please tell me the dimensions of the box because I need it to know the shipping charge?
I know this is off topic but he should do a Oobleck vs dry ice buying trying to freeze the Oobleck by using dry ice
What do you mean not XTU compatible. I ran it successfully and when I undervolted too much my razer blade 15 shut down. XTU is compatible. It is just does not work together with throttlestop.
It refused to let me undervolt. Adjusting voltage switched it from adaptive to static, which you don't want. Not sure why it did that. Any ideas?
This or gs75?
That dog in the background is soooo cute omg
how do i enter ur giveaway?
My gaming pc just broke. I'm looking for a laptop. I have a pretty low budget. Should I get a razor?
Depends how much money you’re willing to spend.
Razer's support isn't just sub-par, their QA in the first place seems to be questionable. Even their repairs in my experience have been hamfisted. Reviewers seriously need to stop blindly and enthusiastically pushing this company. Their products have known issues. It's like playing roulette...
I literally recommend buying a 3rd party warranty in my video. How am I being blinded? If you are worried about QA on your unit, buy it from a place with good return policy so you can return for a different unit if you have an issue on the one you get. I personally haven't had any issues (I own a Razer Blade Pro), though many people have, but that's just like literally every other laptop manufacturer out there. None of them are perfect. You are blind if you think so. In 2018, where you buy the laptop from matters more than what brand you get in my opinion.
You are blinded because there are far better alternatives out there and people literally look to you guys to advise them on quality BRANDS and products. Putting your viewers through the nightmare of the Razer chain because "you recommend buying a 3rd party warranty", really? How can you look past such a glaring downside and still even vouch for this thing? How about just advising them not to spin the bottle in the first place. Numerous forums, on Razer's own websites (which they've nuked), Reddit threads, and the plethora of videos on this very platform point to a lapse in design sensibilities with their products. Furthermore, yes it is 2018 I'm glad you know the year. Perhaps in 2018, we should hold manufacturers to a higher standard, especially the ones charging a premium like this one. Their market share is far too low for this number of failures and the Razer Cult is really good at drowning out legitimate concerns about these products. Do better.
Shem Best you don’t have to buy razer product if you don’t want to, it’s that simple.
Unknown ???? Definition of "missing the point". Carry on smartly if you can.
Shem Best what are the better options? The only one that comes to mind is the GS65, but it's not clear that MSI's build quality/customer service is any better than Razer's.
Im looking too buy a laptop too replace my outdated desktop. Reason i want a laptop is because i will be traveling a lot more then i have in the past, so i want too be able too bring my comuter with me. When traveling i have no problem playing games on very low settings, alsong as i sit around 70+ fps. When at home, i would want too use 2x 144gz 1440p monitors (obviously just playing on one), an external mouse and keyboard and headset and sit at 100+frames. Money is not a massive deal, but i obviously dont want too spend more then what i need. Would it be a good idea too get something around the 1000dollar price range, with a gtx1060 too make it handle games while traveling, and then spend money on a eGPU for better performance at home (perhaps when the 11 series is released), or would it be better to go for the 2000dollar price range?
I will also only be playing while having access too a table and power outlet, so im thinking a thin and light might not be the way too go, i assume they always have worse cooling.
My 4K model has been on back order for over a Month now :/
My Rb15 was defective on arrival, almost 6 weeks to get my refund too...via charge back request... good luck for anyone that rolls the dice on a Razer
Please do a review on the asus zephrus GM501
there's no palm rejection?
There is, but it's not perfect. No palm rejection software is perfect
can you make a new top 10 list of gaming laptops for a good price plz
Hi please can you tell me if is it 100% metal (Keyboard side, around screen side, below the laptop
What about the thickness of the metal is it easy bendable like the MSI GS63VR ?
Thank youuuuuu.
Msi ge63 or asus rog gl503 ?
and not a single word that razer gets extremely hot to the touch while gaming. Up to 60 degree. Nice review... lol
It’s the old razer blade
Also he did talk about the temp
Do i get this with a 1060 and a 144 hz screen or a Alienware 15 r3 with a 1070 and a 120 hz screen?
thanks mate
just did and will be here on the 11th! so hyped
Why not get the 60hz version, or the 1070-MQ & 144Hz?
SuperMcNasty Boi because the razer with 144hz and 1070 was 700 dollars more or something I got my Alienware plus 3 year warranty and shipping all for 2,148. While the base price without warranty or anything of the razer with a 1070 and a 144hz screen was 2,699. I’m going to be taking the laptop to class and frankly I’d rather have a heavy more durable computer than something lighter and more prone to breaking. Plus I heard the thermals on the razer weren’t the best, the Alienware has got so much fan and vent space.
The True Gamerz Dynamite It's 2,399 in the states, but you get 10% off if you're a student (thanks Microsoft). The RB15 is rediculously sturdy. It had absolutely no flex in the chassis when I tried it out. The GS65 flexes like...Well...plastic. haha and the thermals aren't too bad. I gamed for an hour on it with it being room temperature to the touch. That was the 1070 model.
But to each of their own I guess. I need something ultra portable since I usually carry my work laptop 4lbs along with my school laptop. So every pound counts when walking miles each day.
I subbed to ur channel🤙🏽
they need their gunblade non glow logo version
review alienware 15 r4 please.thanks
