      The most confusing comparison I've seen. Talking about "this one" or "that one" whilst neither is on screen and "The blade is far quieter than the Gs66, the blade kicks up to 60db"- contradicts what's on screen. None the wiser.

    1:10 The ability to go beyond like the MSI is helpful when you put the laptop on a stand. This allows to further increase the incline level on the stand and reach a higher altitude for the screen, so you don't have to look down while you use the laptop.

    • @antuAnoro
      @antuAnoro 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's also useful when your'e working with a external screen and you want to switch off the laptop's screen and just use its keyboard. That way you don't hide part of the screen, with the laptop.

    For those looking at both, some extra information to note:
    GS66 300Hz panel only natively supports 60Hz or 300Hz. Really wish there was an option for 144 for battery saving.
    Not sure about the Razer.
    The GS66 Ethernet Jack is 10/100/1000/2500 2.5Gbps
    The B15A has a UHS-3 SD slot
    The GS66 can undervolt via BIOS.
    Both laptops use PCIe 3.0 x16 with the new Super variants
    Upgradable/open M.2 NVMe slot on the GS66.
    The GS66 ships with DDR4 2666 ):
    The B15A ships with DDR4 3000
    The GS66 has a more aggressive CPU turbo/TDP ~10% faster
    The B15A can be set to a more aggressive GPU turbo/TDP ~? faster
    The GS66 prefers active cooling even on (battery)
    The B15A prefers passive cooling on (battery)
    The GS66 fans are aggressive when plugged in, but reserved on battery
    The B15A is always more reserved
    GS66 has better GPU thermals
    B15A has better CPU thermals
    Hope this helps! I ended up picking the GS66, simply because I wanted the option to upgrade storage in the future.

    The prices here in Germany are completely different.
    The Blade in this configuration costs 3380€
    And the MSI in this configuration costs only 2080€
    Thats a 1300€ difference! (1470 $)
    But you also "only" get a 240hz display here... not a 300hz. (maybe the same thing as with Samsung phone processors)

    • @Elirocks32
      @Elirocks32 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Usually that difference in frame rate is not noticeable. However, there might be other differences in the monitor besides frame rate such as color accuracy or delay. Razer usually has some of the best monitors in the market, so if you care about that then the price might be worth the difference.

    Also, I think the 180deg lid allows the user to stand the laptop up vertically so the screen is then eye level and the user doesn't have to look down to see the screen. I think that viewing mode is used usually with a 2nd monitor and an external mouse and keyboard~

    Just got my Razer Blade 15 in the mail on Tuesday. It’s everything I’ve ever wanted in a laptop. I chose the basic model with the rtx 2060 because $200 in savings over advanced with 2070 seemed the logical choice. I get slightly less FPS (10ish frames difference and no card reader but I saved $200 and it has an Ethernet port (advanced doesn’t have one)). I’m getting 100 to upper 200 FPS on AAA games on high settings. I honestly thought the screen would be mediocre but it turned out to be my favorite feature (144 non touch). It’s a dream to look at... overall couldn’t be happier with the RB15 2020.
    Edit: My price before taxes was 1800.
    Also, this is not my primary computer. I have a custom rtx 2080ti, CPU Intel i9-9900K build. I wanted something portable for the road which is why I bought the RB15.

    Matthew a suggestion: you should start asking for the base models to review and not the highest specs. After $2000 I think the market gets narrower.

    I was wondering which to choose over msi GS66 with a GTX2070 or Razer base model with GTX2060, both in the same price (1799$). I just ended up ordering the Blade 15 over the msi GS66 based on this review. I think its better to sacrifice a little bit of performance over build quality as I will be using it more on productivity than gaming (which consumes the processor more than the graphic card).
    However, great review and thanks for this Matthew, really helped!

      @Walkdthock 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I got mine like 5 days ago aw m17 r3 i7 10th 1660ti 144hz gsync. I was surprised with the thermals. on idle I get 40-55c on full load 50-65c and that's it. I mostly play league of legends I get 240fps uncapped max settings. the screen is so much better than my aw 17 r4(2017) even though that one got 1440p 120hz gsync this new one is noticeable better even with lower specs, this goes with its speakers as well, not as good as the one on macbook pro though. the fans are very quiet as well. I was able to undervolt it -0.0120 but the thermals are so good that it's just like a bonus to decrease the numbers a little lower. the laptop is also freaking thin like thin af for a 17", the footprint is only as big as the usual 15 laptops so I don't really feel like carrying a 17' laptop. the weight is there but it's not that heavy. all in all I was very impressed. the only thing that concerns me is the hinge. I hear little clicks of plastic or screws. it's very minimal that my sister wasnt able to hear it when I was showing it to her so you will need to be in a very quiet room but after noticing it I cant help but being bothered by it more than it should and this is a $2k laptop so I don't think this is acceptable. I will return it and opt for an m15 with same specs since the bezels are slimmer now and because the thermals are otherworldly and it performs more than expected. just wanna share my thoughts so here you go :)

    • @nyachan5960
      @nyachan5960 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@sadliminals3429 loud fans are actually normal however, there must be a loudness limit. Fans ARE NOT supposed to be loud while doing light browsing such as watching TH-cam etc. Gaming with Loud fans are normal but there is a limit to the loud. Getting hot is another thing that I agree on, but you must check on the source of why it's hot. I run my blade 15 on max GPU and CPU and I can say it's firing hot. Doing light things such as writing an email or browsing should not be hot if so, that means the battery is used up to limits or just starting to bloat. Honestly I do not recommend getting a blade 15 if you are scared of their durability because claiming a warranty can be super difficult if your state do not receive them. It might take weeks for RMA approval, Weeks to ship it over and weeks to ship it back. Damages cause while shipping can also be caused due to long distance travelling(change in drastic temperature etc). My best advice is to get something that u can easily fix nearby you or something not too expensive so that u can get easy replacement.

    As a videographer, the Razer Blade better speakers and overall appearance is very attractive for quick presentations with a client.

    Hello Matthew, Thank you for this superb comparison review (and leaving out the so common and highly annoying music track accompaniment). It seems that there is just one person here on TH-cam, having received an MSI Creator 17 mini LED laptop and this a few weeks ago. No other reviews from the usual popular reviewers so far. It may just be that you have this particular laptop 'hidden' under your desk, waiting for a review embargo to be lifted?
