Review

The Razer Blade 15 is a high-end gaming laptop with excellent performance, sleek design, and premium build quality.

The laptop has a 15.6-inch display with a resolution of up to 4K, and it supports high refresh rates of up to 240 Hz, making it ideal for competitive gaming.

Additionally, it has a sleek design and premium build quality and comes with various connectivity options and ports. However, it is a relatively expensive laptop, and some users may find the fan noise louder than expected.

The keyboard and touchpad are both comfortable to use, and the laptop offers a good selection of connectivity options, including Thunderbolt 4, USB Type-C, and HDMI.

The battery life is also somewhat limited, and the laptop may run hot during intensive gaming sessions. Overall, the Razer Blade 15 is an excellent choice for gamers who want a high-performance laptop.

Performance

The laptop features a powerful Intel Core i7 12800H processor from the 12th Gen Alder Lake series, making it one of the notable upgrades of 2022. This CPU has a 14-core architecture and boasts a generous 24 MB cache memory.

You won’t face any performance issues if you’re handling demanding tasks. With a base clock speed of 2.50 GHz, this CPU is well-equipped for running modern games and rendering software. Moreover, it can dynamically increase its performance using Intel Turbo Boost technology.

This laptop has a dedicated graphics card made for gaming, called the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti. It has 4 GB VRAM to make all the heavy tasks and games look great. This card can make games and videos. It’s suitable for most new games, but sometimes it might not have enough memory for demanding ones.

The laptop comes with 16 GB DDR5 RAM, which helps the laptop run games and other programs quickly. For most people, this is enough, but if you’re running heavy software, you might want more memory. The laptop has free slots to add more memory in the future, which is excellent.

This laptop has a enough 1TB superfast SSD storage drive. This drive is very fast, so things load quickly, making the laptop feel fast and smooth.

Display and Design

The best thing about this Razer Blade 15 is its 240Hz 15.6-inch QHD OLED display, along with its 2560×1440 pixel resolution, which makes things look great with great graphics. Due to its beautiful graphics, it has been included in the laptop with the best display. Its brightness is 400 nits, which is very bright, so there is no problem using it in direct sunlight, but its glossy surface creates annoying glare. Its fast refresh results in smoothness in gaming with high-end graphics.

When testing its display, it performed well with its 240Hz refresh rate and GeForce RTX 3070 Ti graphics, making high-end games run smoothly, but not the best.

This display with 240Hz refresh rate QHD would be our first choice as it offers both a high refresh rate, high resolution, and a wide color gamut. Additionally, there is also the option of Advanced Optimus, which automates the MUX switch but with a 360Hz display; using the MUX switch alone requires a reboot.

Talking about its design, it is almost similar to the Blade 15 of 2021. Its dimensions are 0.67 x 9.25 x 13.98 inches, which is the same size as its predecessor. It is smaller than 15-inch gaming laptops like the 14.16-inch-wide Alienware x15 R2. Its weight is also high, just over 4 pounds, so it becomes more difficult to carry. However, it is a bit heavy compared to some competitors, like the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14, which is 3.64 pounds.

Its build quality is also strong as it is made from a single block of CNC aluminium. Every part of it feels reliably solid.

Battery

It has a 4-cell, 80 Wh Lithium Ion battery for charging, which a 230W charger is provided with. Apart from this, you can charge it through the Thunderbolt 4 port with a 20-volt USB-C power adapter. Its charging speed is also good.

It promised 7-8 hours of battery backup, but when switched to the 360Hz refresh rate display, it lasted 4 hours and 55 minutes on the video streaming test, which is excellent for a gaming laptop. Most gaming laptops always have to be plugged in, but this is not the case with this one.

Ports and Connectivity

It has a lot of ports which are absolutely modern which is good for those who use many types of connectivity in their laptop. It has 2 x USB-C, 3 x USB-A, HDMI 2.1, Thunderbolt 4, a USB drive, a phone charger, and a Display Port for connectivity.

You can output video from the HDMI 2.1 port while connecting up to 2 x 4K or additional 8K displays with its Thunderbolt 4.

For wireless connectivity, the Wi-Fi 6 standard is a new version of Wi-Fi 6E, which provides an additional 14 x 80 MHz and 7 x 160 MHz channels at 6 GHz. Apart from this, it also has Bluetooth 5.2, which is the new version; it connects quickly and saves battery.

Final Word

Its Intel Core i7 12800H processor, part of the 12th Gen Alder Lake series, combines 14 cores and 24MB of cache to deliver superior performance. Its 16GB DDR5 RAM provides quick response, making everyday tasks fast and easy.

This laptop’s 15.6-inch 4K display with 240Hz refresh rate and GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is great for gaming. It runs high-end games very smoothly. Not much has been changed in its design, but it still looks premium. The best thing about it is that it has a lot of connectivity options, which include Thunderbolt 4 and HDMI 2.1. Since it is a top-tier gaming laptop, its price is relatively high but affordable.

Its keyboard and touchpad also provide a comfortable feeling. Since this is a gaming laptop, its keyboard is strong and gives a smooth feeling while typing. The battery life of the laptop is not that good, but it is serviceable. The gaming laptop has a low battery.
