Tying all of this together is the premium unibody design of the Razer Blade 15. Touchpads on Windows 10 devices are starting to be good, but the Razer Blade is still the best example of a touchpad on a Windows 10 device. The touchpad is similarly fantastic - spacious, sensitive and actually feels good to click down. We would like to see bigger up and down arrow keys, but that's such a minor complaint that we're willing to look past it. Key travel is more than deep enough, and the spacing is basically perfect, even for keys on the periphery of the keyboard. Don't get us wrong, there's nothing quite like playing the best PC games on a mechanical keyboard, but the chiclet keys on the Razer Blade 15 feel amazing. You can easily plug in a gaming headset, mouse and a keyboard. Razer is obviously in the business of selling peripherals, and we're happy to report that you won't need to live that #donglelife to use any of them. You get two Thunderbolt 3 ports, three USB-A ports, a dedicated charging port that's reverse-able, and a dedicated HDMI. We also have to praise just how many ports remain on the Razer Blade 15. The Razer Blade speakers are still nowhere near as good as a MacBook Pro 16's but they do manage to sound listenable for when you just want to put on some tunes while getting some work done. This isn't, like, a new thing for the Razer Blade, but we just have to reiterate that it does wonders for audio quality. While we're busy comparing Razer to Apple, the Razer Blade 15 kind of serves as a "what would the MacBook Pro look like with diverse ports and no Touch Bar?" On either side of the keyboard you have these giant speakers - which is already a point in the Razer Blade 15's favor. It's become kind of a cliche at this point to call Razer the Apple of PC gaming products, but that comparison is definitely apparent here.
While the design of the Gigabyte device isn't bad by any stretch of the imagination, the Razer Blade 15 is a gaming laptop you will actually want to show off in public. What you're really paying for with the Razer Blade 15, however, is luxury. Now, you can definitely get this level of hardware for less, just take a look at our current favorite powerhouse, the Gigabyte Aorus 17G, which you can get with equivalent hardware for $500 (about £379, AU$690) less, coming in at $2,799 (about £2,270, AU$4,390).
However, you will have to pay for that privilege, as that configuration will cost you an eye-watering $3,299 (£3,349, AU$6,549). But, of course, because this is a device that is meant to be one of the top gaming laptops on the market, you can configure this thing to your hearts content, with up to an RTX 2080 Super, a 1TB SSD and a 4K OLED touch display.
