Great for gaming, bad laptop

I'll compare it to the Dell XPS 17 and be brief. so well built. I really wanted to keep it. Pros: It's powerful and you can play most games at high framerates. The RGB keyboard is really cool, almost continuously adjustable backlighting. The sound is quite good and pleasant, 120Hz, 4K touchscreen. The Bad: The keyboard is terrible for typing (you'll see this in many reviews, and it's true). The worst thing is that the line is "moved" to the left with the Shift key (see image). Look at any other keyboard and you'll see that the keys on that row are centered between the keys on the row above, but not on the Razer. Why did Razer feel the need to reinvent this? For me this is a real problem. Dell has an amazing keyboard. Windows Hello doesn't recognize me half the time. The Dell registers you perfectly with no issues, whether I'm wearing a hat, sitting a little off center, etc. It's a heavy beast. The Dell is over 1.5 pounds lighter when you turn on the AC adapter. The power connection is just ridiculous. You can work with him, but why? You can connect Dell from both sides. Dell has the same processor but is allowed to work harder. Its results are better than the Razer Blade. Dell's 4K screen is only 60Hz but has richer blacks and looks better. It also has almost no bezel at the bottom of the screen. Did I mention that Dell is a bit smaller? Fingerprint Magnet - No kidding, Dell still looks brand new. $1,000 more expensive than Dell. The only real difference is the keyboard with RGB and 2080. If you are an avid gamer it might be worth it. I prefer a more versatile laptop.

Pros
  • Big price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
