The Blade 15 is a fantastic take on a modern desktop replacement, especially for people like me who don't want to lug around a giant 17-inch rig. Unlike the ROG Flow Z13, you don't need to worry about a separate graphics dock to get peak framerates. And thanks to a wealth of ports, you can leave all of your dongles and adapters at home. So while the Blade 15 doesn't make sense for anyone on a budget, if you've got the funds, this thing is a real treat.

Razer's lated Blade 15 runs games well with its 12th Gen Core i7 and, in our configuration, an RTX 3070 Ti. But the screen could be brighter and productivity performance could be better at this price.
The Razer Blade 15 Advanced Model is still one of the costliest gaming laptops, but the latest CPU and GPU silicon bring its performance to the next level while maintaining a premium portable design.
The Blade 15 with 12th gen Intel crams even more performance under a familiar design without needing to compromise on noise or heat. Don't expect battery life to be any longer, however.
