Razer Blade 15 Gaming Laptop: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070

Great laptop. Even tho its a 3070 you still gotta mess w nvidias 3D settings and with the games internal vsync settings to really optimize each game. 360 hz is awsome but don’t play demanding games at high settings with 360 hz cause the screen completely glitches out. Took me a week of internal pain to figure that out. They run smooth at 60hz w vsync (depending on game) though. For games that don’t have a refresh rate option in their settings (weird but games such as Sniper Elite 4 don’t have it) go to the razer synapses and change it in the performance tab to 60. Then when ur done playing go back and change it to 360 if you want. Kinda a hassle but that’s what you get with a machine like this. You just can’t win lol. Overall awsome powerhouse that’s so slim and fits right in your backpack without taking much space. But omg the power supply is so thiccc. Battery life is awsome, given that it’s an insanely powerful gaming laptop. Lasts almost 3 hours when using google nonstop. Look if you want battery life get a Mac. But for gaming this thing rocks. Just have some patience and once you set up everything you’ll begin planning your wedding to this thing. Peace.

Recibi el equipo hace aproximadamente 2 semanas , es el segundo equipo de esta marca que tengo y realmente lo recomiendo sus terminaciones son fantasticas, claramente el ventilador hace un poco de ruido no hay que olvidar la potencia que tiene el equipo , no he experimentado altas temperaturas como denuncian algunos usuarios y lo uso en gran parte para renderizado de alta exigencia

*** UPDATED ***

Razer actually fixed the LCD for free despite the support rep telling me I would have to pay. There was a bit of broken telephone going on between reps I guess. They paid for shipping / duties and return fees. A+.

I’m not sure if the support will be the same for everyone but I’m confident they will take care of any issues with this laptop if you bought it brand new.

*****

TL;DR *** Buyer beware. This laptop’s build quality is hit or miss. I do not recommend buying this product because the warranty is already void according to Razer support.

Out of nowhere the laptop’s screen stopped working as I was working on code. I bought this laptop “brand new” from Razer (but fulfilled by Amazon) but the warranty had already expired on this particular laptop. Razer will only fix the laptop screen if I pay for it which is disheartening because I only bought it in July 2022.

The computer itself works when you plug in a monitor so I called Razer support but they had me running in circles re-installing drivers and also re-installing windows which…surprise, didn’t do anything. I had already informed them I was ready to just pay for the repairs but I guess they have a script they must follow.

Great laptop love it only hate the high alarm like sound the fans make drives me crazy so I have to put music on to drown it out.

Update January 2024 still love the laptop only thing I hate is the power cord from transformer to laptop it twists up and it very stiff and points feels like connections are broken, gets worse as time goes.

Friends warned me about Razer products. I have the death adder wireless mouse and I love it. So not a total knock on Razer I do like their products. But I am sorry this computer is junk.
The performance is fine, I ran it to an external monitor and yeah it had good FPS, was pretty quiet, and gamed just fine.
I noticed early on it began freezing, I am an ex-IT Specialist so I figured this may have been due to something being corrupt in windows, so to rule out any software related issues I made the decision to use the media tool and redo windows. To no avail, it still would freeze on random occasions. And I mean FREEZE. No Ctrl+alt+del could fix it or anything.

The second problem I encountered was that I would turn it on and it was often telling me windows recovered from an issue(mind you, I was an IT Specialist I installed windows probably over 100 times…). I was always sure to close all apps down and SHUT DOWN the computer before I would put it in my backpack or anything, and it still seemed to do this every once in a while. A $2500 computer should not do this..

The final straw for me was when I was sitting on the couch and charging it and the screen began to flicker. Similar to one of the other reviews I saw on here, it was TERRIBLE. Clearly a hardware fault at this point I convinced myself to reach out and attempt to return it. Thank you to Amazon for letting me return this product. I went and got a comparable spec HP Omen and I am now much happier as it performs so much better.

I am updating my review to reflect my complete experience as my issue with he laptop has been resolved. 5.5 months after buying this laptop, the laptop suddenly stopped working. Black screen on startup and completely unusable. Based research it was most likely due to a bad graphics chip. 5.5 months is out of the window to return. I called Razer tech support and submitted a warranty request and after some initial difficulty related to communication with tech support I received an RMA. From this point forward the warranty process was quick. The laptop was repaired and returned to us within a week. Although we got a dud laptop the warranty experience turned out to be a positive one.
