THE PROVEN BLADE DESIGN, WITH TWEAKS
This 2020 update is mostly internal-component
upgrades and modest exterior tweaks, so most of what
you’re seeing is the tried-and-tested Blade 15 design of
past models: a sleek, portable chassis that feels high-
quality thanks to its fully machined aluminum build.
The Blade 15 has consistently one of our favorite
gaming-laptop designs, and while others have caught
up to this trend-setter, it’s still one of the most premium
options available.
My only design quibble is an ongoing one with the lid
logo, which remains lime green. I much prefer the
understated black-on-black etched version used on the
latest version of the company’s Blade 13 Stealth.
I know Razer wants to stay loyal to its long-serving
symbol, but I can’t help but feel the color choice clashes
with the Blade 15’s sleek, all-black look and undermines
the style.
