Deep blacks thanks to an OLED screen - The Razer Blade 15 Studio Edition 2020 review

Razer Blade 15 Studio Edition (2020) laptop review: Small changes, better overall package.
Razer Blade 15 Studio Edition (2020) laptop review: Small changes, better overall package.
Razer’s workstation features a lot of performance, a 4K OLED touchscreen, a Thunderbolt 3 port, 32 GB of RAM (running in dual-channel mode), 16 of VRAM and a 1 TB NVMe SSD.

The Razer Blade 15 Studio Edition has a chic, angular metal case with rounded edges. The minimalistic design comes without any frills. The laptop does not have a maintenance hatch. However, users will still be able to do maintenance work or upgrade components without any trouble. After undoing the screws holding it in place, the bottom cover can be easily removed. 

You will have to remove the bottom cover if you decide to add more RAM or upgrade the SSD - there is no room for an additional storage device. The laptop features 32 GB of RAM (running in dual-channel mode); the maximum amount of RAM is 64 GB. 

The workstation comes with an Intel Core i7-10875H and an NVIDIA Quadro RTX 5000 Max-Q. It can run all current applications. The 2020 model offers considerably more CPU performance than the 2019 model. The hexa-core Coffee Lake chip has been replaced by an octa-core Comet Lake CPU. 

Razer has also improved the selection of ports. The MiniDP port has been replaced by the USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, which can output a DisplayPort signal. The three Type-A ports now operate at USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds.

The crown jewel of the laptop is the 4K OLED touchscreen. It impresses with a great black value, good brightness, stable viewing angles, fast response times and good colour space coverage. The colour reproduction can be described as okay.
