Hi, so I'm in the market for a good laptop for some casual gaming use. I immediately thought about the Razer Blade 15 as i like the stylings and stuff but when I looked I saw there 2 models. I've done a bit of research but don't know if the advanced version is too much for what I need (also it's really expensive). For it to be able to play Forza Horizon 4, R6, and Apex at a good quality is all I really want it to do. I don't really care about getting the max fps or anything just as long as its playable. Is the base model ok or do I want something more? (would also be used for college work and watching youtube and stuff if this helps) any advice appreciated thanks.

The "Basic" blade 15 is a very different laptop, built cheaper and has lower specs as well as a different port selection (IIRC on that last one). Though, for the massive price difference between them I would still recommend the Basic.

Brands I wholeheartedly reccomend (though do have flawed products): Apple, Razer, Corsair, Asus, Gigabyte, bequiet!, Noctua, Fractal, GSkill (RAM only)

For the smaller one, I agree, the port selection is actually better on the basic fyi. i don't think 240hz has a point to it unless you are a pro gamer.

and OP, seeing that you are looking at either model, i am guessing that is a no.

fyi i am going through this myself. you may want to check out the hero 3 from asus also. Personally I am looking at the pro 2019 from razer. Search my profile to see why if you care.
