I needed to upgrade! My old ultrabook was fine for writing articles, but was WOEFULLY under-powered for editing video. Razer’s new Blade laptop looked like the perfect system for me on paper. Using it for a week, does this sexy serpent live up to the hype? Here’s my review, using a gaming PC for work!

what I really can’t understand is that the price over is is 3000 EURO’s.. like the euro is higher than dollars and it’s still more. 2000 dollar = 1817.2 EUR, but no, let’s just do the prize x2.. like wtf!
Why didn’t you get the Dell xps 15
Hey Juan, I love your audio. What is your microphone setup?
yeah, but the temps.. It really kills the laptop.. how did it handle yours?
How about vs mac pro? Will it be more faster than macbook pro?
Fucking pissed off that it isn’t available in the UK -_-
What’s the price after tax?
I have gone through 2 screens already the second they wont warranty because I was barely out of date.
lol “seizure inducing strobes”
on heavy gaming will it last for 2-3 years? I’ve heard that thinner laptop like razer won’t last for 12 months max.(on heavy gaming)
Wow You are by far my best pocket editor
good job Juan, i knew you were good for something. I need to photoshop images and render 4k video for my website and i was about to go overkill for the Lenovo P50 but i love the 14inch size and this seems to be all i need to get it done.
p.s. Dont let those douchebags get you down about whether those douchebags on the pocketnow weekly podcast show answer questions or not. 😉
i’m looking for a laptop for video editing (adobe premiere pro + a7s ii).
– my last one: mbp retina 15″ i7 16gb ram + ssd (mid 2014).
– what are your recommendations?
can you please do full review on the v20 including the speaker test
Why do you want touchscreen for editing?! Waste or battery, and just another thing to go wrong.
if you had to choose between this laptop, or The stealth with the core, which one would you choose?
At what point do you talk about video editing apart from the render times
So basically its for 1080p gaming and more power intensive work while on the go. See I’m looking for an upgrade from my 2012 (ish?) Toshiba L850. It’s done a fantastic job of almost everything thus far and I wouldn’t hesitate in the slightest to call it an absolute soldier of a laptop. It still runs things really well (some things are even above is spec range somehow.) But its old. Its blue screening. The graphics card has a habit of crashing 2-3 times a day and I just started uni for a media degree in animation so I think its time to say goodbye.
I wan’t something small and light to take with me because my Toshiba is a bit on the bulky side so an alienwear money printer is out of the question. And as a mobile gamer my laptop is everything. I don’t have a desktop and probably won’t until I get my own place and have time and money to sit down and really put thought into building my own.
Would this be a good all round machine in this situation? Or am I asking for too much…?
Thoughts anyone?
can it do skyrim?
do you no a good gaming mic plus youtube for under 50
Juan, how come you decided to get the razor blade over say an XPS 15 or 13?
I was on the fence of either this or the XPS but the infinity edge display won me over. I was close to getting this due to its super stealthy look but I decided against it since its a fingerprint magnet (they drive me insane).
I seen you today in San Antonio at guenthers house restaurant.
Finally, one of an editor who is not hyped out and use crap MacBook for his workstation.
hey didn’t you just recently get the MSI ghost pro? I was looking at both the, ghost pro and the razer blade, for 4k video editing. which one would you recommend?
awesome review!! will you be reviewing the razorblade stealth?
Hey Juan, nice video, but I was wondering what settings do you have for vegas to render? I ask because I was considering this as a replacement to my Toshiba s855, but my toshiba renders 5 minutes (average) of video at 1080P 30fps in about 20 minutes, so I just wanted to make sure I’m not downgrading here
Would you recommend the brand new Stealth or the Macbook pro retina?
Oh no… Boredatwork… The ignorant guy.
thanks
