    Might be worth spending more for a better GPU if you're going to keep this a while.

    • SoresuMakashi on 07/05/2021 - 14:47

      The 1660ti is a very capable GPU on a budget. Going higher will come at a significant loss to perf/$.

        Bought a g5 with 3060 105w max p last week for 1550 or so. Would thump this machine in gaming.

          Hard to compare a Dell G5 with an ultraslim.

          • striker5950 on 07/05/2021 - 21:34

            @Sleuth: true, like they are not even in the same league, razer is the most premium windows laptop when money is not a problem

            • gotnomoney on 11/05/2021 - 12:04

              @striker5950: no mate, razer's whole current lineup has inferior CPU's at every price point, nothing wrong with this deal tho, but AMD is currently the best on laptop, and razer refuses to include it. cough intel paying them big $$$ cough

              edit: my bad i saw you meant premium not the best laptops.. (profanity) yeah they are premium but this deal is pretty good if you want that aesthetic with budget gaming perf

          The Razer laptop is better in every other metric though. Some people want a balance or weight things other than raw FPS when making a laptop purchasing decision.

          3060 is 'only' 30% better. Kinda meh for 2 gens improvement. Still limited by thermals in the laptop world. If I was buying today I'd defs be eyeing a 3060 or 3070 tho

    • brimmy11 on 07/05/2021 - 15:48

      The current 11th gen gaming chips are worse than the 10th gen. Intel hasn’t released their proper laptop gaming chips for 11th gen yet.

      If you wanna do some gaming, just go with Razer.

      No. This is a desk laptop. If you want something you can lug to uni get a 13-14" notebook. Even a Celeron N4000 would be good enough for coding, this spec is for gaming

        Celeron for coding?

        Your assertion is laughable

    • node modules on 07/05/2021 - 15:57

      This laptop is 2.05kg, so it’s heavier than ultrabooks.

      It depends what you mean by coding. As a professional I would use an M1.

      • zjz93 on 07/05/2021 - 18:38

        2kg is still pretty light imo for any 15 inch laptop

          As someone who carted around an Alienware m17x R2 for weekly work trips between melb and syd years ago, that monster was 5kg+, with the power brick about another 1kg. 2kg for a 15 inch laptop would be like a feather to me. I remember pulling that beast out to put on the tray at the security X-ray machines, and it would barely fit on the tray!

          Hey, the MSI you linked to uses a rubbish max q variant of the 3060 that is starved of power. The gigabyte g5 is a far better entry level machine with additional performance of a max p 105w 3060 gpu.

          A max p 3060 will be similar in performance to a 3070 max q laptop (which go for 2k+)

      I second this - I actually own this laptop and it does get pretty toasty, even when you only have a few things open like chrome, and an IDE.

    I really want to like Razer but they are known for having QA issues especially their laptops.

    • nephilim on 07/05/2021 - 16:39

      Basically expect the battery is die after 2 years, its just the reality of razer.
      I assume thats why major retailers barely sell them anymore, extended warranty nightmare.

      • Max999 on 07/05/2021 - 16:41

        My colleague had battery issue as well, and the laptop was bought almost 2 years ago haha.

        It didn’t die, but it bloated and the keyboard was raised as a result making it hard to use.

    • foxmulder on 08/05/2021 - 14:50

      You can return them for xhange of mind for 90 days even you use them and not happy. After that 90 days , as long as it's faulty issue they accept return.

    • ChadHominem on 07/05/2021 - 17:41

      This has no hard drive. Windows runs on a personal satellite that’s beamed to the laptop

    • Gorian4 on 07/05/2021 - 20:01

      Nah, hard drive's are a waste of space.

      If you want more storage, just switch out the NVME SSD

      • stevenmo on 07/05/2021 - 20:13

        yea agreed , i just wanted to comfirm it wasn thte one with the hard drive as i saw on youtube reviews before that some models had a hard drive in place of a smaller battery

        • Gorian4 on 08/05/2021 - 00:42

          I believe this is the Base Model which actually makes use of a smaller battery unfortunately, and even though there isn't a hard drive, the space left by the smaller battery looks like it could fit a hard drive, so if you want more battery life, the advanced model will be the way to go, but honestly Razer are quoting 6 hours vs 7 hours, so I'm not sure it was really worth the difference

  • Tech45 on 07/05/2021 - 17:29

    Would people recommend this over a used 2018 Razer Blade Advanced (GTX1070 and i7-8750H, which originally went for around $3400)?

      Unless you're buying a refurb with a good warranty, I wouldn't take the risk on an almost three year old laptop. Razer devices aren't known for their longevity.

      • Tech45 on 07/05/2021 - 18:31

      Pre 2020 Razer 15 had weird right shift key, which was annoying to type.

  • aveeno bb on 07/05/2021 - 18:08

    I had the exact same CPU + GPU config MSI GF65 Thin (i7-10750H + 1660 Ti), which I replaced with another laptop with 2070.

    The CPU is really snappy with all tasks, gaming performance was decent, plays Cyberpunk at reasonable FPS.

    If you are running at 1080p, I really don't think you need much more than 1660 Ti unless you need the ray tracing. Just personal opinion.

    I would definitely recommend this at this price, considering how crazy GPU market for desktop is.

    I have a slightly older model of this laptop, but the exact same chassis.

    General advice
    - The unit reminds me of a macbook pro in terms of size and build quality
    - The unit gets hot with any graphical tasks, I personally have this mounted on monitor arms next to my main monitor
    - It gets loud with any graphical tasks
    - Speakers work really well and would rate them for music, gaming or video content
    - The screen is gorgeous
    - The warranty is dealt with on-shore (had an SSD failure, sent it off and had it back within a week)

  • foxmulder on 10/05/2021 - 11:32

    This may sound absurd: bought one yesterday from Auburn store. Connected one of old LED monitor via its HDMI. Setting up things and put the laptop and monitor to sleep. This morning, wake the thing, the monitor goes on and off with the desktop in the background, take the monitor power off, then it won't turned on anymore. I have the monitor for years, but I suspect it could be time it died. Have another monitor connected to Razer, hopefully it won't kill this one. Let's see.

    I have upgraded my 10 yr i7 desktop with this one and the performance is just night and day. The Razer was super awesome. It feels like it can do anything with ease. Hopefully there won't be issue to it like some people says.

    I have had a nightmare experience with the Razer Blade Stealth I bought a couple of years ago. Died after a year, then again a few months later and they completely disregarded Australian Consumer law and I was left with no choice but to pay for repairs despite it being a common issue they had with the model. Still have issues with it, but nothing I can do.
    I will never buy Razer again, and after my customer service experience with them I promised to warn anyone I could before they considered buying Razer,

    I've got the Advanced 2070 model of this. Have had no problems and is a sheer joy to use. Ignore the nay sayers, the ones with issues whinge the loudest. These are premium devices and seriously not sure I'll be able to use another laptop after using a Razer. For 1400.00 that is a STEAL.

    • Angliss on 11/05/2021 - 15:30

      As Zoe main alluded to in a previous comment, this is the RZ09-03519 model (which is only available with a 1660 Ti). Only the RZ09-0328x model has a 2070 variant.

      The key difference is that this model has a worse display.

        45% NTSC 45% tilt

        Which is probably why there's heaps of cards in store
