Razer Blade 15 Advanced Model - 15.6-inch

The "Advanced Model" of the Razer Blade 15 is outfitted with the same CNC-milled aluminum chassis as its predecessor, only this time it holds the latest graphics chips from Nvidia, namely the RTX family of Turing architecture-based GPUs. It's simply our favorite gaming laptop today.

Among its configurations are an RTX 2080 model, capable of running the ray-traced Metro Exodus at over 50fps with all the visual settings cranked to the top. In our testing, despite its power-hungry guts, it wowed us with unusual 5-hour battery life. So while it's no longer the thinnest or the lightest in its class, it is the longest-lasting premium gaming laptops we've seen to date. It is also one of the more expensive.

But it's worth the premium. The touchpad is the closest thing to a MacBook trackpad you will find on a Windows notebook. That includes non-gaming laptops like the Dell XPS 13, which is met with acclaim each time it's re-packaged and re-released. In just about every way, the Razer Blade 15 feels like a dream to use.

Unfortunately for its competitors, the Razer Blade 15 is available in an abundance of varieties, most of which are sensible. If you want a 4K OLED screen, it's exclusive to an RTX 2080 configuration, perhaps the only Max-Q graphics card that could hope to drive 4K graphics. More likely is that you'll opt for one of the more practical 1080p 144Hz models.
