There are three certainties in life. Death, taxes, and Razer following every hardware generation with a new and ever more powerful laptop. And the Blade 15 Advanced is a laptop with enough performance to power through long into the future - it's a satisfying and silky smooth machine.

The outward design is not a radical departure from Blades past. Indeed it's all-but identical to the 2019 spin, beyond the addition of a couple of extra ports. That's not a bad thing. The Blade 15 design is, and we say this without too much hyperbole, pretty much perfect: it's solid, clean, has just the right level of glitz via Razer's Chroma-lit keyboard, and affords itself plenty of airflow without cutting down on the cool factor.

Inside, the Razer Blade 15 is well-equipped in all of its spins; in the model we have here, it's better stocked than most other laptops on the market.
