Razer Blade 15 Base 4K OLED (and Why I Returned It) Early 2020

Ғылым және технология

Here is a summary of all the things that I liked and disliked about this laptop, and why I decided to return it. I'm not saying the laptop is bad, it is in fact not bad at all and one of the finest models on the market, but it has some compromises, and those have proven to be a bit too much for me.

    I was wondering what the battery life is like is it short because of the OLED screen?

    Thinking about returning mine to get the razer blade stealth with 11th Gen Intel. Reason is.. I want something a little more portable and quieter when doing day to day things and type c charging would be a little more convenient. Is the difference in fan noise that noticeable ?

    Mine is a late 2019 model of Blade Stealth 13, so I don't know if the latest 11 Gen model will be much different, but mine is much cooler and quieter than the Blade 15 Base. I tried an early 2020 Stealth 13 a few months ago, it has the same 10 gen CPU but a bit higher wattage (25W), and it felt just a bit warmer than my 15W unit, but the fan noise and behavior was about the same. I assume the 11 Gen would be very similar, meaning better than the Blade 15 Base.

    I put my maximum processor state on battery to be 99% and literally do not have the fans come on at all anymore doing regular day tasks, id suggest trying it out, you dont really need turbo boost when unplugged anyway

    Very helpful review! Razer book 13 also seems to have bad speakers, in addition to flawed keyboard. Would be a great laptop, if they fix that in later revisions

    I have been thinking about the Base for a while but it really bothers me how cut down it appears to be. The Advanced model appears to run cooler and quieter and has a 20% larger battery in a smaller package. I've had this exact model in my Amazon cart for like a week but haven't been able to convince myself its worth it. Not quite good enough to replace my desktop and not quite portable enough to be the supplemental laptop. That said, I also don't know if I can stomach paying the premium the Advanced demands either.

    Nicely covered all the issues with this device. Recently even i got the same laptop from Best Buy for a good open box price (less than yours). But i cant get over the battery life issue (i get around 4-5 hours after disabling turbo boost). Also i am not sure if this product is a display model because when i tried to look for the warranty info on Razer site for it's serial number, it showed me no info & only a messsage saying that cannot purchase additional warranty. My primary use is going to be coding/web surfing/ youtube / and mild gaming. What do you suggest, should i return?

    Sorry for being so late to reply. It's very possible that it was a display model, but like I said, it's not nesasary a bad thing, as long as it works as expected. Did you end up keeping it?

    I gave up on buying gaming laptops. I just bought the M1 Macbook Air, and it is amazing for everything other than gaming. For gaming, I have a PS5 and a PC. I just wanted something thin, light with premium build quality, incredible battery life, amazing speakers, cold and quiet (no fan), a bright screen that is just easy to carry around.
