Razer updated its flagship laptop to incorporate the latest hardware from Intel and NVIDIA. Meet the new Razer Blade 15 2020.
The new Razer Blade 15 2020 will boast the new Intel 10th-Gen Comet Lake H processors and NVIDIA GeForce RTX SUPER graphics cards.
It will be available in two models. There’s the Razer Blade 15 Base model that comes with a 6-core Core i7 processor, with up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 GPU.
You can get it with an OLED 4K screen or a faster 144Hz FHD matte panel.
We also have the Advanced model with a 10th-Gen 8-core Core i7 processor and up to a GeForce RTX 2080 Super graphics card.
This thing can be equipped with a whopping 300Hz FHD Matte screen for competitive gamers out there. But if you’re a casual player, and do creative work primarily, then you might opt for the 4K OLED touchscreen instead.
Another difference between the base and the advanced model is the RGB lighting in the keyboard. The former has single-zone lighting, while the latter has per-key RGB.
As per usual, the Razer Blade 15 has an ultra-thin and compact build. It is only 0.70-in thin, weighs 4.5lbs, and has a unibody frame. It’s like a MacBook for gamers.
