If you have the dough to make a one-time purchase of $1,700 (or $2,999, for the beefed-up version), the Razer Blade 15 could really be the mega console laptop for all of your gaming needs.

The new Razer Blade 15 weighs a pretty solid 4.4 pounds and it is two-thirds of an inch high. If there’s a downside to this, it’s that it’s pretty hard to get this into my typical carry-on bag.

The Razer Blade 15 is the top gaming laptop of 2018, and one of the best I've ever tested. It’s thin and portable, packs a massive amount of horsepower, and has class-leading battery life as well.

The Razer Blade 15 can not only match the Alienware m15 in most cases (aside from the fully kitted out range-topping model), it's also arguably the better-looking gaming laptop.

I’m nowhere near ready to fully review the laptop, but three things about this Razer Blade 15 that have stood out… the delight of not worrying about specification choices, the awkward keyboard ...

That’s not the case for other devices. If you want to use Snap Tap on a Razer Blade 14 or a Black Widow V4, or any other Razer keyboard, you’ll need to install Synapse 4.

The Razer Blade 15 (2019) is available in several different configurations, with different RTX 20-series graphics cards, screen resolutions and refresh rates, and storage sizes.
