Review Text: Top of the class. As far as laptops go, the 2020 Razer Blade 15 Advanced is definitely in the top of it's class. The biggest issue with ALL laptops is intel 10th generation CPUs. They are mostly rebranded 9th gen cpu's pushing higher voltages yeilding higher watts, higher temperatures and overall poor performance for being a step up from 9th gen. Razer is unique. Razer is the only manufacturer this year to produce one of the best coolers of any laptop I've ever worked with (which includes ASUS, MSI, Apple, Dell, Alienware, etc.). Razer chose to wrap their chassis around Intel's 8-core i7-10875H CPU (re-branded i9-9980h CPU with better clocks and higher voltages) instead of the i9-10980h/k. Even with a vapor chamber, Razer's cooling system was no match for the 10th gen i9 class mobile cpu's. Look at some MSI reviews of the gs-series with the 10th gen i9's (nicknamed fireball for all the thermal throttling). Long story short, the hardware was chosen appropriately, the cpu boosts past 5ghz as advertised, temperatures are elevated but considering the class of hardware and the form factor of the laptop, elevated temperatures should be expected. I experience no thermal related issues with the hardware and have been working and gaming on the laptop for the past 6 months everyday. The included 2080Super mobile max-q is powerful enough to play 4K games, although the FPS will be around 60 in moderate detailing. The biggest change that didn't get enough attention in my opinion were the changes Razer did to the ports. Now I can finally use my CalDigit TS3+ Thunderbolt dock which lets me connect a single cable to my laptop which offers 95w of charging, connects all my peripherals and video out to my exernal 4k monitor. This is a new feature I've begged Razer to add and they finally did (which was one of the only reasons last year I ran an MSI GS75 Stealth 9SG. Goodbye MSI and Hello Razer. No looking back.
