amazing !! but very hot
By Mono ! on Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2021
i love this laptop !!! right now, i could only afford to get a gaming laptop that works alongside school, or i could get a full on PC and not have a laptop for school. its a great machine ! im a streamer, and it consistently pumps out 60fps streams which is really nice. its not super loud so if i want to cool it down on stream i can max out the fans and not have it be super annoying to listen to. the thing about this laptop though is that its SUPER hot. i usually stream minecraft and have discord, streamlabs, spotify, and vtube studio all on at the same time, and it gets quite hot. like, if my food was that hot i’d probably have to blow on it before eating it. its super noticeable when you press down on the keys and you feel it on your fingertips, and its kind of uncomfortable. despite all that, i can get a solid 120fps on every game that i play with no issues. personally, upgrading from an actual potato to this was a legendary change. so to summarize ,, pros : gaming is very smooth ! i love the design and the razed synapse is easy to work around. the rgb on the keyboard is nice looking and pressing on the keys feels nice. the screen is nice and bright and i dont lag whenever i stream and play games at the same time. its easily my favorite laptop ! its light, really aesthetically pleasing, and works just the way i want it to cons: the speakers suck. its really funny to me because on my old potato the speakers are leaps and bounds better than these. not that i use them often, but whenever i want to take a break from my headphones these speakers are not it. the battery doesnt last too long when off the charger, but i havent ran that many tests so it could probably stay on longer if i changed around a few settings to take the computers focus off of performance. it gets REALLY hot. an ice cube could melt pretty fast on the surface of it if i were playing genshin impact on high settings, medium if im streaming and listening to music. overall, i like this laptop because its a lot better than my old one. if i were you, i’d probably sit tight and save up some more money to get the advanced model for that cooling system, or look for something else if you want a cooler laptop. honestly, i think it cools on pretty quickly if you close the game and wait for a minute with the fans maxed, but im pretty lenient when it comes to machines. anyways, i hope this helped !

Very poor performance especially at this high of a price point

I really wanted to like this laptop, I am generally a fan of Razer and have used their products off and on for many years. I was asking for a lot when I decided to purchase this laptop but nothing that wasn’t promised in the Amazon advertising, I was looking for a sleek/quiet/yet powerful laptop that I can use for browsing/gaming. In an attempt to make sure the laptop would be able to handle my requests I even opted for the “advanced” model. This laptop LOOKS great from a physical standpoint and appears quite powerful when it comes to gaming. However, from the first day I tried this laptop I had doubts about whether my purchase was worth it. Even after removing all bloatware and ending all non-essential tasks this laptop IDLES at ~40% memory usage (6-6.5/ 16GB). The laptop is fairly quiet while idle but definitely not silent, and the second any program boots (game/discord/chrome) it will immediately kick in the fans at an obnoxious volume under default razer settings. There are options within razer synapse to manually reduce fan speed which makes the laptop quieter but at the cost of more heat. With the fans on auto (loud) this laptop still generates noticeable heat while idling and over 15-20 minutes reaches near skin-burning temperatures while playing minecraft on the lowest settings, keep in mind this laptop still retails for $2000-2500, that is unacceptable performance for this price point. Additionally, on my second day using this laptop (mind you this is still on default fan settings while playing minecraft on the lowest settings with native resolution) the GPU overheated and crashed the laptop/blackscreened until force shutdown and then needed to wait to cool down before being rebooted. I believe the actual specs of the laptop should be able to handle a heavy workload but the design of this laptop does not supply adequate cooling/heat reduction, especially not without making enough noise to drown out an entire room. Lastly, just a few extra annoyances, the webcam quality is real bad, it looks comparable to my 360p Logitech from the 2000’s. The built-in speakers are laughably awful but that wasn’t a big deal for me as I always use my laptop with headphones. The laptop requires you to not only keep and use the Razer bloatware to customize things like keyboard color/brightness (not super uncommon) but it also must remain running at all times in order to even do things as simple as lower the screen brightness using the function keys. In the end, I may give Razer a try again in the future but I will be taking another deserved break from trying their products after this one.
