Razer Blade 15 Advanced Review (i7-10875H/2080 Super Max-Q)

Rating: 8.5.

Maintaining the elegant and premium unibody aluminium chassis synonymous with Razer’s Blade models, the Blade 15 Advanced edition has been upgraded to 2020 hardware in the form of a 16-thread Core i7-10875H and Nvidia’s RTX 2080 Super Max-Q. Can Razer prove that the Blade 15 Advanced 2020 model has all the ingredients to form a versatile gaming and productivity powerhouse?

Focussing on the main features of the Razer Blade 15 Advanced 2020, our sampled version ships with the Core i7-10875H CPU, Nvidia RTX 2080 Super Max-Q graphics card, 16GB of DDR4 memory, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. But perhaps the star of the show is the screen.

Razer opts for a 15.6” 4K 60Hz OLED touch display that is absolutely stunning. With its high screen-to-body ration thanks to slim and elegant bezels, the factory calibrated display packs a quality punch thanks to 100% DCI-P3 coverage.

All of this is bundled into a slim, unibody aluminium chassis that is eye-catching with its dark black design and Razer green contrasts. At a little over 20mm thick and weighing 2.2kg, Razer has clearly built the Blade 15 Advanced to be a portable powerhouse that is just at home on a desk as it is being slung into a backpack.
