    This laptop is pretty okay for gaming, but doesn't seem like it would last. I had bought the 1660 ti model, and though it played games fairly good, 100fps low setting on MW, 144fps high setting BO3, 60-100fps ultra GTA V (advanced turned off), it got to some ridiculously high temperatures doing so. 100c even on older games on the CPU and GPU with gaming mode enabled. I returned my laptop because I want something with better temperatures that I'll be sure will last me more than a couple years. Currently looking into getting an Eluktronics Mech-15 G3 since they liquid metal their CPU and GPU. I think for this price point liquid metal or just better thermal compounds should be necessary. - Also the battery life was surprisingly good on this for having a full size 1660 to, at around 7 hours
    The Blade 15 2020 Base Model I ordered arrived with one of the rubbers underneath the laptop out of shape, you can’t type on it because the computer won’t be stable as is not symmetrical! At the beginning I thought the problem was my desk but I tried in 3 different desks. When you pay such a high price for a “premium product” (because you can get same or better specs for less money in other brands) you expect better.
    Second update: I got an infrared surface temperature gauge just to see what the usual operating temperature was for this laptop. They spaces between the keyboard keys, which are so hot they hurt to touch, are 128.6 degrees Fahrenheit, or 53.6 degrees Celsius. The back of the laptop was the same temperature while it was running on a specially designed stand to help it vent heat. When I put it on my actual lap the back of the laptop reached146.4/63.6 degrees. The core temp is operating between 194-212/90-100.All this while 3 tabs in Google chrome were open on the laptop, and that was it.The outer corners are 122/50, for god's sake. 124 is hot enough to burn, so even using the attached keyboard has become impossible. Worst of all, the constant operation near the boiling point of water is going to cause thermal rotting and ultimately kill the laptop. "Has heating issues" and "is so poorly designed that it will literally cook itself to death" are two very different issues that I wish had been more clearly stated in the product reviews. I will never be buying from Razer again.Update:Just when I thought this molten hunk of garbage couldn't be any more useless, it's started crashing after 20 minutes of running photoshop. It's been 5 months and I already need a new laptop, because this one is literally incapable of outperforming a 2014 Toshiba satellite radius with an AMD graphics card. Burn your money, it'll be more worthwhile (and generate less heat).Old review:At the beginning of the year I was running a passable laptop from 2014 and was in dire need of an upgrade. I run some graphics-heavy programs but nothing all *that* taxing (it's literally just some advanced photoshop stuff).My 2014 laptop handled everything I need to do and more better than this Razer. If the screen hadn't been on the verge of death & I in need of an nvidia-brand card, I would have been better off replacing parts for that. This laptop overheated after 10 minutes of VLC media player running a 1080p TV episode. JUST THAT. Trying to actually use this laptop is a constant battle. I can't believe this is actually something anyone would use for gaming. Maybe emulating snes rpgs with turn-based battles, but I'm on the fence about whether it could even handle that without locking up.
