Laptop

Mixed6/10Luxury

Razer Blades are among the best-looking, most compact gaming laptops, but you pay a large premium and accept heat. Long-term owner feedback is mixed, so an extended warranty is worth considering.

Good at

Slim CNC aluminium build, often likened to a gaming MacBook
High-end displays and powerful GPUs in thin chassis
Little bloatware compared with most gaming brands

Weak at

Very expensive for the specs
Run hot under load; the chassis gets warm
Owner reports of swollen batteries on older models
