Blade 15 2018 vs Blade Stealth 2019

Mr. GoodStuff · October 2, 2020

Looking for some input or opinions on what the better option would be? They’re both $900 locally. I like the smaller form factor of the Stealth but having the better GPU is also nice but then again I don’t really plan on doing much gaming if any on it as I have a desktop for that.

Both have pretty much similar specs aside from the Blade 15 having the 144hz screen.

If gaming isn't your thing, I'd avoid a Razer laptop since that's kinda their domain and they charge a premium...there are plenty of cheaper laptops that'll get the job done without denting your wallet, and can be sourced new as I'm guessing a 2018 model would be bought used. And they'd be current-gen.

Debatable...I mean I know Razer gets a lot of hate, but honestly everything I've bought from them has performed well above expectations. I still got a Deathadder mouse from 2013 that works just fine, and pretty much everything else I've bought has been good quality. I actually just purchased their Razer Blade 15 2020 and have been pretty impressed with its build quality. Time will only tell but so far, they've done a good job as far as I'm concerned.

Though to note, their customer service is atrocious
