Razer Blade 15 Advanced Model Early 2022 review - Compact gaming laptop with fast display

An even sharper razor. The new Razer Blade 15 comes with brand new 12th generation Intel processors and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti/3080 Ti. Together with a lightning-fast 360 Hz panel, this promises an incredibly smooth display. Find out how the small chassis copes with powerful hardware in the following review.
Alder Lake Gaming Geforce Intel Laptop

Packed with the latest Intel and Nvidia chips, the Razer Blade 15 2022 spring model promises iterative improvements for the popular 15-inch gaming laptop range. The main difference between the model reviewed here and the previously reviewed Blade 15 2022 is the 1080p 360 Hz panel, so readers can stick to this review for details on the largely identical physical specs. The Blade 15's direct competitors include other high-performance 15.6-inch gaming laptops such as the Schenker XMG Neo 15 E22, the Asus ROG Strix Scar 15, the MSI Stealth GS66 12UGS and the MSI Vector GP66 12UGS.

Case - Compact and suitable for travel

For the case, we again see the familiar, slick metal construction with which the Blade series originally made a name for itself. Stability, workmanship and torsion resistance thus remain excellent. The flipside is the high susceptibility to fingerprints.

The Razer Blade 15 is a very compact 15.6-inch laptop and is both smaller and thinner than most of its competitors. In particular, the ROG Strix Scar 15 and the XMG Neo 15 E22 are significantly thicker and around 100—200 g heavier than our 2.1 kg review device.

Hardware - Blade 15 with modern connectivity

There are no big surprises in terms of connectivity. Worth mentioning are the full-fledged SD card reader and the HDMI port, which supports version 2.1. Unlike many competitors such as the XMG Neo 15 E22, there is no dedicated LAN port here. But this can be rectified via a Thunderbolt dock if needed.

Input devices - Large clickpad and tidy keyboard

Keyboard

The keyboard features RGB key lighting with 16 brightness levels (including "off") and half-height arrow up and arrow down keys, which allows Razer to place the entire keyboard in a rectangular area centered between the speaker openings. The keys offer a flat key travel and quiet, muffled typing sounds. Key resistance is moderate and the center of the keyboard hardly yields when typing.

Touchpad

The touchpad comprises an area of around 13x8 cm and allows for excellent finger gliding. The clicks are characterized by a short key travel and clear haptic feedback.

Display - Fast panel with limited color spectrum

Subpixel
Subpixel

A matte, full HD IPS panel with a native resolution of 1920x1080 pixels and a refresh rate of 360 Hz is installed in our review device. Alternatively, a QHD 240 Hz and a 4K 144 Hz display are available, each of which should cover the DCI-P3 color space. The QHD model also supports Nvidia G-Sync and Advanced Optimus.

The brightness of 315 cd/m² on average is more than sufficient for most application scenarios and, together with a decent black value of 0.24, results in an above-average contrast of 1,375:1 in class comparison. The gray-to-gray response times are particularly short and we could not detect any PWM.

Display Response Times

ℹ
Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
   ↔    Response Time Black to White
10.5 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 5.7 ms rise
↘ 4.8 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 24 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21.5 ms).
   ↔    Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
4.3 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 2.4 ms rise
↘ 1.9 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 11 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (33.7 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ
To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 17900 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Thanks to a brightness of over 300 cd/m², the display is also equipped for outdoor use as long as you stay in the shade.

Viewing angles are superb. Even at steep angles, the colors and contrasts of the IPS display are hardly distorted.

Performance - Razer gaming laptop with top hardware

Our Razer Blade 15 is equipped with an Intel Core i7-12800H and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti. There is also 32 GB of DDR5 RAM in quad-channel mode and a 1 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD. In combination with the 4K panel, the laptop is alternatively available with the Core i9-12900H.

Test Conditions

In order to gain new insights during testing, we performed all measurements with the Synapse "Balanced" profile. This makes the GPU work with a maximum TGP of around 95 W and also limits the CPU. You can find the maximum achievable scores in our other review.

Processor

The Intel Core i7-12800H is a brand new 12th generation Intel processor with DDR5 RAM support. DDR5 functionality allows the two RAM modules to operate in quad-channel mode.

The Razer Blade 15 is less able to keep up with competitors in terms of CPU performance in "Balanced" mode than without performance limitations. Even the nominally weaker Core i7-12700H in the XMG Neo 15 E22 beats our review device in both scenarios in the Cinebench R15 multi-loop test. The fact that some single-thread benchmarks turn out better is probably due to the fact that the temperature limits are reached before the TDP limits. The turbo boost only remains active for a short time.

The Cinebench R15 multi-thread test delivers the same score in battery mode under the profile we selected.

Razer Blade 15 Advanced Model Early 2022: Ø6642 (6357.38-6687.03)

GPU

The mobile Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti with 16 GB of VRAM belongs to the Ampere Refresh generation. Based on the 3DMark benchmarks, using "Balanced" mode results in a performance deficit of about 10-20%. Small drops can be seen in the frame rate progression of The Witcher 3, but this had a subjectively minimal impact on gaming experience.

Performance is limited in battery mode. A Fire Strike run delivered physics and graphics scores of 12,888 and 10,344 respectively in battery mode, compared to 21866 and 25240 in mains mode.

Gaming Performance

Gming benchmarks are naturally weaker in balanced performance mode. Nevertheless, absolute frame rates are still high enough for a smooth gaming experience, so you don't necessarily have to run the Blade 15 in high-performance mode.

Noise

The fans are sluggish and allow the components to become a little warm before they kick in. In particular, the average noise level under load is perceptibly lower in balanced mode. The noise level of our first Blade 15 (mode: maximum performance) was within the usual range. No coil whining was detected in our review device.

Stress Test

In our stress test, we loaded the system simultaneously with Prime95 and FurMark. The CPU began the test with P- and E-core clock speeds of about 2 and 1.9 GHz, respectively, and stabilized at 1.7 and 1.5 GHz, respectively, and at around 85°C over longer periods of time. The GPU started at around 1,100 MHz and eventually leveled out at 640 MHz and at a core temperature of 77°C.

Speakers

The speakers are unevenly tuned. The pink noise diagram shows the significantly flatter frequency drop of the MacBook Pro 16, which is one of the best laptops in this discipline. External audio devices can be connected via Bluetooth, USB or the 3.5mm port.

Power Consumption

The idle consumption values of 19 W on average are significantly lower than those of the previously reviewed Razer Blade 15 (36.4 W). This is likely due to the more economical performance profile and the lower display resolution. In The Witcher 3, overall consumption is about 13% lower.

Verdict

In review: Razer Blade 15 Spring 2022. Review device provided by Razer Germany.
In review: Razer Blade 15 Spring 2022. Review device provided by Razer Germany.

The Blade 15 is a very compact and well-made laptop. The connectivity is just as modern as the new chips from Intel and Nvidia and is well rounded off by a fast SD card reader. The display offers incredibly smooth visual representation and a decent maximum brightness, but unlike the QHD model, Advanced Optimus is lacking and the color space coverage could be a little better. Considering the target group, however, the latter is acceptable.

The benchmarks in "Balanced" mode give an interesting picture. In practice, performance is often more than sufficient and the noise level is significantly lower. However, the surfaces of the case still heat up very strongly.

If you're looking for a stylish, compact gaming laptop with an exceptionally fast display, look no further. However, temperature-sensitive users should be wary here.

Another point of criticism is the speakers: Many cheaper laptops offer better sound. Asus' ROG Strix Scar 15 is a less compact, AMD-based alternative to the Razer Blade 15 with much longer battery runtimes. For users who are often on the go and need a lot of performance, the Razer Blade 15 may still be the right choice.

Price and Availability

Our configuration of the Razer Blade 15 is currently available at B&H Photo Video for US$ 3,699.99 or via the official Razer website for the same price.
