Awesome review, Sean. I appreciate all the extra details and “gotchas” that you point out here. These types of things are lacking on other channels. Keep at it!

This channel definitely needs more subs. This is one of the realest reviews I have seen out there. Real issues with products addressed with real solutions. There are so many bad reviewers who just phone it in, give this man a like and a sub!

finally a proper assessment of screens,well done

Awesome review man. I’m looking to get this exact laptop when it’s on sale it seems like it’s one of the best values for a razer laptop. I really appreciated how you gave a detailed and personal review. So many reviewers make their video so basic and generalized when I want a personal approach which you more than delivered on. OLED for gaming seems pretty decent from what I’ve heard. The low response time imo is much better than having higher refresh with slow response time like on the newer Razer Stealth models. I remember on Linus’ video comparing refresh rates even then 60 didn’t always lose and with an OLED it will be even better

Bought this during Black Friday 2021 for 1400. So satisfied with it. Never had a very decent laptop till this one.

Your review is quite good sir. Production, editing. I dig it.

Thank you for watching 👍

Hi Sean, thanks for this review. May I know how's the battery for this laptop (I believe its 65 whr)? Looking into this laptop for photo/video editing and 1 of the concerns I have is potentially on the battery (I found a very good price offered for this laptop, so Im still looking at it as an option). Do you think it can last at least 4-5 hours photo/video editing (fully charged, unplugged)? If yes, its good enough for me. Thanks in advance.

Awesome video! I just picked up this laptop, it comes tomorrow I'm super excited! Thanks for all the information, I hope your channel keeps growing!

Simple, insightful and straightforward. Great review.

Just bought a the same model for around 1000 euro on amazon! Cant wait to use it!

Hey Sean! I was planning on buying this laptop. There's not many (or any haha) reviews on this specific model so I was glad to find this! Loved the review and you pretty much solidified my choice!

Wonderful review of this Razor product.

Can you give me a quick/brief explanation as to what the gaming pros are over the advance vs the base model?

Sorry I’m late on this. The OLED looks more saturated color-wise the IPS on the MacBook Pro looks more accurate. This has a much faster response time, for gaming the Mac IPS has ghosting. It’s also a different aspect ratio, the 16:10 screen on the Mac is nice for editing, but doesn’t always play well with game resolutions. Hope that helps, or that you enjoy whichever one you ended up getting ✌️

Quick question: So I got this exact laptop from Best Buy brand new.

I have it set to 1080p fullscreen and it still heats up all the way to about the TJMax according to Core Temp. I don't know what the problem is and how to fix it. What should I do????

Great video. But I still didn't understand how much this laptop will be able to work on battery power with half the brightness of the screen in KZread video viewing mode and in office work mode? Maybe someone will tell me?

did you upgrade the ram to are just the storage what brand did you go with

I've seen many reviews saying that this becomes unbearably hot when gaming, was that true for you? If so, how would you keep it at good temperatures?

Ty for the great video!!! I bought one after watching this video.(Razer Blade 15 Base Gaming Laptop 2020: Intel Core i7-10750H 6-Core, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q, 15.6" 4K OLED 60Hz, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, CNC Aluminum, Chroma RGB, Thunderbolt 3, Creator Ready, Black) I gave my BEAST PC to my adult son as I need to use the office as a bedroom for when grandkids visit. Moving the Beast (750W) PC into bedroom was making me so HOT that I went out a few times to roll around in the snow. This laptop is quiet and although it registers as running 150F, I don't feel the rooming catching fire like the BEAST. OK I have a tech question and a What If Question if anyone would be willing. Will the HyperX 3200 32x2 work and default at 2933? I know you mentioned it but wanted to ask if others have made the upgrade. What If I were to know someone who knew someone who left the bottom plate off and sat that on a KSI plastic laptop cooler to get lower temps? (Sort of a question but my English sucks lol)

Hi Sean, Nice review.... If you had to choose between the Advanced version with the RTX 2080 Super and this version. Would you rate the cost/performance upgrade? There is a considerable difference price wise in my country and I’m caught in a conundrum. If my original choice of the higher spec with touchscreen is worth the extra cost. The $3400 and $4900 (now on sale at $4600) so a considerable price hike to your prices. I would appreciate your 2 cents.. Thank you 🙏
