Review on Razer Blade Studio Laptop 2020 by Jermaine Shuster

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent performance and build quality, but too warm and display too reflective

The build quality is excellent. I use it as a daily driver and as a workstation replacement. It's probably the best workstation replacement money can buy (Macos devices are great for browsing Facebook, but if you need to work, you need this). The touchscreen makes no sense - just make it a regular screen. I think it could be thinner/lighter/cheaper if that's the case. Nobody needs a touchscreen. Still - the display is really bright, but also more reflective than bright. Very difficult to use outdoors. Make it either less reflective (preferred) or matte (second best). The sound is good, but not suitable for this price range. The keyboard is good, the touchpad is good. Square *great*. The Intel 8c/16t processor is also great for performance, but . runs too hot. I would still prefer Intel CPU + Thunderbolt over AMD + without Thunderbolt. Adding side hot air outlets is probably worth considering. All in all a good buy if you need a workstation replacement. Much better than a Macbook as you can get the work done. There is RTX with 16GB. Good processor. The next version - please work with the screen (no touchscreen required, too reflective) - to improve the most important (colors, brightness is excellent, only the reflection is terrible), thermal effects (just add a "cool" mode, where performance doesn't go, but the whole thing could be colder - Razer Synapse seems to have something similar but isn't aggressive enough).

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Neutral
