The question is, should you buy one? The answer lies somewhere in the previous paragraph. There’s not getting around it: the limited battery life is a big disappointment, made even more so since the Blade is such an eminently portable machine. It is, perhaps, not as go-anywhere light as the Dell XPS 15 or the MacBook Pro 16in but there isn’t a lot in it, especially if you choose the touchscreen XPS, which has a bigger 86Wh battery. But then, if you’re not going to take it everywhere and use it on the move, what’s the point in having a laptop that combines power and portability so beautifully? Why not just opt for a fatter, uglier, cheaper machine instead? I can’t think of any particular reason other than vanity. This is a shame because the Razer Blade 15 is, in most other respects, a very good laptop. It’s achingly gorgeous, as quick as a modern gaming laptop needs to be and very slim and light for a laptop with this much grunt. What’s more, it’s even reasonably good value. If battery life had been even a couple of hours better than this (there’s room in the chassis) I’d be minded to be a lot more positive.

Archive.org versionThe Alienware m15 R4 delivers comparable or better performance at a lower price, so there's a value argument to be made there, but it loses out in terms of bulk. If you're mostly concerned with performance per dollar, the Alienware remains a great pick, but there's no denying the Razer's envy-inducing combination of power and style. Its overall excellence earns it our Editors' Choice award as the best, most portable super-premium gaming laptop.

Archive.org versionIt really is impressive to see a high-end laptop that is equally as appealing to gaming users as it is to those who yearn a productivity powerhouse that can quickly be shoved into a backpack. Good job, Razer, now please give me a second SSD slot, bigger battery, and higher memory options on the next version. Until then, I am very impressed by the Razer Blade 15 Advanced and consider it to be a strong candidate on anybody’s high-end laptop shortlist.

Archive.org versionI still recommend the Razer Blade 15. It’s a powerful gaming laptop in a thin and light 15” form factor. Not only is the build quality top notch, but the screen and input devices are also excellent, making the device feel like it’s worth the premium price you paid for it.

15.60":
15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
