This is a thorough review of the New Razor Blade 15 ultra light and thin laptop. Please note that I upgraded my rig to 32 GB RAM and 1TB SSD. 144hz refresh rate with GTX-1070 MaxQ version.
What I use this laptop for:
1.) Gaming; I game quite often and I play games like COD, Fortnite(Of Course), Rocket League, Counter Strike, etc...
To no surprise this laptop is a beast. The graphics of my games and the frame rates are very good. This is coming from an Xbox gamer majority of their life so granted the difference is huge but in my opinion it is very satisfying. I have no issues with lag, screen tearing, and anything else you might encounter.
2.) I use this laptop for heavy graphic editing and modeling for work. For work I run applications such as AutoCad, AutoCad Inventor, other Pattern Design Software, Adobe Creative Cloud(Photoshop, Illustrator, PremeirePro, etc.), and other work such as coding and designing websites. In sum, I use and rely on this laptop to get the job done swift and efficiently and it does just that. Whenever I download, update, or open applications my Blade gets to work right away and I don't have too much waiting time like other computers I used before for work. Windows 10 upgraded from Home to Pro in about 5 mins.
3.) Music, internet surfing, netflix, etc... This laptop handles these tasks with ease, kinda like everybody else not thinking twice about breathing :p
Overall, this laptop looks beautiful, sleek, thin, and it is light. This laptop definitely turns heads. And oh I forgot to mention the chroma lighting function is super sick. I don't have much to complain about this laptop for it does everything and more than I expected it to do.
Now lemme be real with all you potential buyers;
- You are buying a name brand product get over the price, definitely worth it.
- No ethernet port. If you are anal about having to connect a USB to ethernet converter look elsewhere, but you are missing out.
- This laptop is very powerful, but also very thin. UNDERSTAND!!! That this laptop will get hot when you game with high graphics or when you try to push this laptop. This isn't an issue with this laptop it is with every ultra light and thin laptop. But note, CPUs and GPUs these days can, surprisingly, take some pretty high temperatures without being damaged, so if you are going to be pushing this laptop download a program that can keep you updated with temperatures.
- Lastly, understand Razor makes tons and tons of products it isn't much of a surprise that some products come faulty. If this happens to you talk to support, if you bought through amazon exchange your product and get a new one.
- People are always gonna find ways to leave negative feedback about products like this, understand no laptop is "perfect", there are only laptops that fit an individuals specific needs.
Conclusion:
Im sad to see such bad reviews on Amazon, but if you want this laptop go look at multiple youtube reviews and other gaming laptop comparisons. This is the first time I purchased a Razor product and man am I more than happy. From now I will always consider a Razor product. No laptop is "perfect", find one that fits your individual needs, and good luck searching for laptops. I know I found my brand and I feel comfortable enough to say this laptop will last several years minimum, which if you ask me isn't such a bad investment(:
