I have the 2019 2070 blade 15. The finger print issue is literally not an issue for me. Only issue is the fan would run high even when the computer has no apps running (no bloatware or anything). When gaming, the pc gets scary hot above the keyboard and impacts performance. A cooling pad is absolutely necessary when gaming.. just add one to the cart when you buy one. Other than that, the gaming performance is too good to be true. Honestly it's like magic. I play less intensive games like valorant at 4k on an external monitor. I run 2k resolution on anything more demanding including cyberpunk at medium. How does this thing with this form factor run like a desktop pc and it only gets better? Also another thing to add, the 1080p resolution is not it for me (I connect to a 4k monitor so no longer and issue). I would've loved to see a 2k panel if that is possible? Coming from a retina macbook , the 1080p is usable for surfing the web but would've loved to see a 2k panel? If I were to go back, I would've gotten the 4k version lol. I prefer resolution over refresh rate but that 144hz is buttery.

[@AssassinToilet9]

I have the RTX 2070 144hz 2020 model. I highly recommend this laptop to others. I'm currently a first responder and go to school full-time as well and the laptop does everything I need. School, Work and Gaming. Great quality. I was a bit iffy at first due to it being a razer. SO far it's great!

[@REMIX8604]

This laptop is solid AF. I don't regret the purchase at all. Its so slim too. The fan doesn't get loud for me but also I may be used to my PS4 lol Heat is better than any other laptop I've owned. Does get warm after a few hours but the temp gets to like 75 degrees vs my MSI that gets to high 90s.

Great video. I have a question regarding your experience overall with razer and/or razer support. Have you experienced any issues with your 2020 base model? I'm considering buying this laptop but I have recently been made aware of this issue with battery bulging which concerns me a bit. Apparently is a common issue to appear within the 1-2 years of use. Any thoughts around this? I think it would be a valuable point to look at in future video reviews. Cheers

[@Kana0211]

Well I have a 2018 base and there are no issues with it. Still powerful

[@jharris947]

Love your rant about the fingerprints. :-) Been looking at the 17" Razer. Lovely machine but I just can't pull the trigger because of it being the worst fingerprint magnet I have ever seen. On every review you can see it's covered in fingerprints from just basic handling. It's so bad and is a deal breaker for me. Obviously they are aware of this and I'm surprised they've never done anything about it. And no I don't want to fit a skin.

[@Kainthemain]

Hey, what about the Razer Blade Pro 17 4k. Would you recommend getting that one in discount or buy the new one? Is is really that big of a leap?

4K is for content creation not gaming. They look amazing but they have a low refresh rate around 65hz if I remember right and some people think they will not last as long as traditional panels

I might not be the best to tell you this, but you will put your hands on one of the best machines. It will run any games from now to at least 5 years in time, quality is great. The only negative is Intel. But nothing is perfect

[@questionthis4417]

Here’s a little advice for everyone ! If you have an older laptop and you want to upgrade to something better without completely leaving yourself skint then simply go for something older but newer than your current laptop just not the newest out there. This will benefit you in 2 ways 1 you will get a much better laptop than the one you currently have and 2 you will save some money over buying the latest and greatest. Having the latest and greatest does not always mean it’s going to make the previous couple of models obsolete. For example if you own a 2013 laptop with a graphics card that just won’t really pull through in 2021, upgrading to a 2018 laptop will be a huge step up from what you have and you will also save some.

[@jaybosher6144]

True but at a certain level its worth the extra coin to go current. Certain base models are very close to last gen with much better specs for the money. Also conside open box units and you can save bug and buy better than what your budget would normally allow (grab a warrenty tho)

[@batmanmcgee2798]

The 2060 will work just fine. 3060 isn’t worth the price difference.

[@joesmoe6947]

@@batmanmcgee2798 That all depends. If you are a hardcore gamer who plans to play highest settings on the newest games. It’s definitely worth it... just watch benchmarks on it. This “I don’t notice a difference”. Is really dumb. If you want to reach 144fps or as close on games. It makes a HUGE difference. And reaching that frame rate also makes a HUGE difference in competitive games. There’s a 30-60fps difference between the two cards on most games for a $400 difference in price. That’s perfectly fair. Especially if you want to take advantage of ray tracing.

I'm coming from an Acer Predator Helios 300 from 2017 and it was great - not loud at all. Just before that tried an HP OMEN and it was so loud with just normal tasks I sent it back immediately.
