What To Look For In A Laptop and What We Use

**My Experience with the Razer Blade 15 Advanced**

I've come to value three main factors when it comes to choosing an notebook for myself, and the Razer Blade 15 hits all those factors really well. To be perfectly honest with you, I didn't choose this laptop - Razer did sample this as a review unit, and over time using this on a regular basis, I've come to realize that this notebook has played a vital role in my production workflow.

**Performance**

95% of the videos that you've watched on this channel from my end for the last year or so have been edited and rendered on this laptop ever since my switch to VSCO. Result Studio. I've been very impressed with the Blade 15's performance and resolves utilization with all of that hardware. The model that I have features an RT x 28, Emacs Q, and that really helps accelerate export times, and when you pair that with Intel 6 core 1230 CPU, it's really a breeze when it comes to editing 4k footage making thumbnails using Photoshop.

**Design**

I also really love the design of the Blade 15. I also really love this huge glass trackpad with support for Windows position drivers and when you pair that with a really fast 240 Hertz display, that's also really color accurate for content creation. The experience is fast and fluid, especially when you're switching between virtual desktops. It's honestly a breeze.

**Portability**

The last thing that I want to touch base on is portability because I carry my backpack design every day. 20-liter backpack and this thing can pack literally everything that I use for video production including my camera, lenses, microphone cables, portable lights but most importantly it can fit this Blade 15 Advanced without a problem and that to me is a huge bonus because when I'm visiting family in Toronto I can carry all of this horsepower with me on the go play my favorite racing games hop into a multiplayer session with my brother playing CS:GO or Overwatch. This laptop doesn't compromise in all of those areas and that's something that I love about the Blade 15 Advanced.

**A Year Ago**

If one year ago we decided to do this video, I would not be rooting for the 17 inch form factor but yet here we are - I never work from a coffee shop outside of the studio so the purpose of any notebook for me is to be as powerful as possible and also be able to do that is right it must fit into my backpack so when I do work remotely transportation is not an issue.

**Benefits of 17 Inch Form Factor**

Exercise come all the benefits so the screen for example on my 17 inch Blade Pro is much bigger than usually means higher resolution. So for cases scaling on Windows is palatable, where as 4k on the 15 inch notebook is just a joke if only window scaling worked as good as it does on Mac OS then 4k on the 15 inch form factor wouldn't be an issue but it's I actually get more screen real estate with my 4k 17 inch form factor even with high scaling than a 1080p screen on the 15 inch notebook.

**Extra Ports**

A thicker body also means extra ports, and it's kind of sad though that we have to size in a notebook space to get an SD card reader but usually there are more ports on 17-inch notebooks because of the additional space. So with this notebook I have an Ethernet port full-size HDMI and an additional type-c that I do not have with my Blade 15.

**Best Performance**

This is by far the most powerful notebook I've used in terms of clocks and cooling, my GPU for example boosts to 1700 megahertz which is about 300 megahertz higher than what I was getting with my Blade 15. The CPU is cooler and the fans are quieter, we have more space there for bigger cooling solution that your heatsinks more fans it all makes sense.

**Conclusion**

I Have no regrets ditching the 15 inch at all this is my studio machine when I'm away from the studio back to you boys so I hope you were able to take something away from this video thank you so much for watching again stay safe spend responsibly my friends and I'll talk to you guys in the next one
