![]() The Blade 15's all-metal design looks and feels great, setting the benchmark for the category, especially as many competitors use plastic builds. The new Alienware x15 is a hair thinner at 0.62 inch, but it's heftier at 5 pounds. In exact terms, it measures 0.67 by 14 by 9.3 inches and weighs 4.4 pounds, one of the lightest top-end gaming rigs around. ![]() As an internal component and features update, its chassis and build quality remain at the same superb level, a slim and premium machine that stands out even among high-end competitors. In terms of physical design, this Razer Blade 15 matches the model we reviewed earlier this year. The bottom line: If you're going to buy this elite gaming laptop today, it may as well be this newest version. The Blade's battery life has taken a hit, no longer leading the pack, but that's the only real negative to this premium-priced favorite. It still offers Nvidia GeForce RTX 30 Series graphics and a choice of high-refresh-rate displays (our configuration combines an RTX 3070 and a 360Hz full HD panel) while maintaining the sleek and light all-metal build. What we're reviewing here is an update to the early 2021 version (the new system starts at A$4,949) that bumps up the processor to Intel's 11th Generation "Tiger Lake-H" Core i7, boosts the webcam to 1080p resolution, and sports a new fingerprint-resistant coating. The Razer Blade 15 Advanced Model is a perennial favorite, having proven its build quality and gaming chops to us across several iterations (though previous generations were called "Advanced Edition" instead of "Advanced Model"). ![]()
