Is there a better alternative?

When it comes to gaming laptops, your options are nearly limitless. The MSI GS75 Stealth (or 15-inch MS65) is similar to the Razer Blade in its design, but its build quality, keyboard, and touchpad aren’t as good.

　　A solid alternative is the Acer Predator Triton 500. Performance is slightly better than the Razer Blade, and it accomplishes that without having a bulky or gaudy design. It’s not as refined as the Razer Blade, but the cheaper price provides a better framerate-per-dollar value.

　　We’ve also put the Razer Blade and MacBook Pro in a head-to-head comparison to help narrow down your selection.

　　If you’re looking for an alternative to the OLED Razer Blade more as a content creation device, the Dell XPS 15 is your best bet. With options for up to an eight-core processor and the same 4K OLED panel, it’ll have the power you need for photo and video editing.

　　

How long will it last?

The Razer Blade should last you more than a few years thanks to its fast components, wide port selection, and excellent build quality. The warranty is nothing special, however. Just a standard one-year warranty. Beyond that, you’ll have to opt in for extra service through RazerCare, which can be added to three years

　　

Should you buy it?

Yes. The 4K OLED model isn’t worth spending on the upgrade, but the 1080p 240Hz model is the best gaming laptop you can buy.
