It's perfectly balanced without you looking at the price tag.
and CPU, and GPU
Will my credit card look away while purchasing as well?
“What did it cost?” “Everything”
Yeah Razer is expensive but their brand has never been about affordability. "Premium" is a hill they're willing to die on, for better or for worse. Do I think it's kinda sad that even Alienware has them beat in terms of value (my friend got a m15 r2 with a 2080 max-q and the same CPU and screen config as my Blade 15 with a 2070 max-q, all with a three year extended warranty to my 1 year manufacturer warranty for $100 less). But in spite of this, I still have some faith in them as a brand. Out of all the Windows OEM's they're the only brand that know how to do aesthetics, though I wish they'd just get rid of the green light-up logo on the Blade 15 and 17. Plus, it looks like the QC and customer service is getting better, so things are looking up.
How much?
i never thought id see the day in a laptop review when someone would say " THIS WOULD BE PERFECT IF IT HAD AN AMD CHIP IN IT" ohhhh how the tides have turned lol
Crazy times!
Oh how the turntables
Factuals
Ohhh how the turns have tabled
Hes just pandering to the poor AMD people.
Me: "Remember, he's sitti-"
Dave: takes a step backwards
Me: "NA- NANI??"
HE ALWAYS STANDS. THE TABLE IS SO HIGH.
so standing or sitting?
he just can adjust the table, so he can be standing also sitting
Now since u said that I can’t unsee it
ME EXACTLY
We’ve REACHED THAT POINT where tech channels are all saying “I wish this was AMD”.
We finally did it.
Adii D Consumers did it!
AMD had it benefit... it just better for mid level latptop...
What do you mean we? You mean AMD
Who is we and what did we do
Shoutout to the AMD fam since day one!
2015: "It's SO good...., but AMD."
2020: "It's SOOO GOOD..., but INTEL!!!"
what an era to live dude
😂😂😂😂.
Not 2015, he criticized the heck out of surface laptop 3 15" for not shipping with Intel chips. It's been only one year. XD
competition always good for us mate :)
well well well.. how the turntables
@Alistair why you replied to me like I was advocating Intel chips?
"Why would there be two WiFis?"
Balance dave, balance
I like this one.I. 😀
One on the left and one on the right.
Balance must be kept, sometimes with a snap sometimes with a big double sword
Also can you guys help me out and check out my channel?
I can think of one reason to have two wifi cards. Not sure if it works though. I have a wifi card in my desktop which I use as a second router (for improved range and reliability). So basically you can have one wifi card used normally while using the other wifi card as a makeshift router.
Him yelling kinda shows the affect the Lockdown has on him.. 😬
"Cursed by Intel" is essentially a theme of 2020 computing in general.
*a theme of Intel in general. I’d say the entire Intel monopoly for so many years has been a bigger curse than them underperforming recently. Just because intel was fastest doesn’t mean it was good for all those hears. We were at 4 cores as standard for so many years because of that greedy company. Their prices were shit for very long, but they just didn’t have enough competition.
@@nuloom Sad reality is that while I'm fan (and user) of AMD since 2018, I don't want market to enter into another such phase where AMD takes an advantage of monopoly. And Jim Keller recently resigning from Intel makes me loose hope that Intel will fight back any time soon.
@@KushalPandya ha Intel blacklisted D2D LOL
@xOr yeah, we will see at 2021 or 2022
Has everyone forgotten about the ryzen 5 3550h and ryzen 7 3750 ? Why is everyone praising amd ? Those laptops with those chips are still on the market and are just terrible.
i always come back to you.
clean, clear , great reviews
Still remember the days when it was "It's so good, but AMD"
Really? I never remember a single good laptop that had AMD processor before Ryzen lol
It wasn't as bad as it is for Intel now.
@@cunnyman thats what he is trying to say
You mean like 6 months ago then. Long memory there bro.
Yea... I remember when that, if you had AMD, you would get huge flak for it.... now, I didn't even look at Intel when I built my system, it's like AMD just cares more..
few years ago: "amazing laptop but AMD"
now: "amazing laptop but Intel"
Dhruv you mean last year with the Surface Laptop 3
To be honest I can't remember ever thinking that. AMD was relegated to low end for so long.
U see my friend time flies...!
ye, i dont get that many upvotes for that, either. there has never been an "amazing laptop but amd" in the last 5 years before ryzen 4000
erygvy Longer than 5 years, try *ever.
Thanks Dave for always spending time and effort to cover the big picture! A very insightful content.
When you said lets talk about the bot so good stuff i felt like u were my guidance counselor telling me im failing math
"Perfectly balanced..."
I was waiting for Dave to spin the stealth on his finger
Oh crap i remember that time dave spun a laptop on his finger and just transitioned to the next clip like it was nothing lmao
Me too!!!
true OG dave fans over here
this is not Linus lmao
Lol just to think AMD was a curse only like 4 years ago

For laptops only one year ago

Thanks Dave2D
All the things I wanted to hear about in a review amazing work.
Other youtubers : "welcome to my channel"
Dave : "ok"
He knows his audience...
🤣🤣🤣👍
Yes, Dave Lee is great.
All right All right All right
It seem u r a man of Good manners 😉
"its so good but intel"
Hot damn dave. That is the exact phrases i bashed to all good intel laptops
It's the reason why I dislike Intel laptops. I was forced to buy a new laptop (HP Envy 13) asap in March cuz of COVID-19, and my God the i7-8565U is so poor compared to the Ryzen alternatives that came out a month later for the same price! It didn't help that I needed something with dedicated graphics but was also light and 13"-14"... I'm waiting for the G14 to be available so I sell my HP Envy 13 for a G14
It took AMD 3 years after Ryzen to release H series laptop chips, but man did they deliver!
@@munem939 the envy does comes with a 4700U as well. Mine is arriving Monday
@@abubakrakram6208 amd stocks go skrraat

I dont know why but you have a vibe that no one has and I really love watching your every video ♥️
I never had money to buy a gaming pc or laptop but I believe some day I will 😌
4:30 Finally, we do know that Dave is standing there all the time.
We've been tricked ...
"its perfecly balanced..."
*say the word dave, say it*
"...like all things should be"
*happy Thanos noises*
Wooo

I'm so glad you made this video, only because I've been on edge about the new 2020 stealth and the Asus g14. I love the Razer, but the power from the G14 is really hard to give up especially for the cost! But something tells me to go with the Razer. Great video anyways Dave! Keep pumping out quality content! :-)
same here!!
I just LOVE your reviews, they are honest and accurate. Thx!
I'm more bothered by it not having 2 WiFi cards instead of the CPU
Faxxx
*Can we take a minute to appreciate that how much to-the-point Dave's video are!*
I dont get why he has 3M tbh. guy thinks he can just go aheaad and say "it feels like 20-25 ms response time" like stfu
They really are. My go-to laptop reviewer. Exceptional channel! Short and to the point.
-I agree with you and,- Very, VERY few tech CZcamsrs and general tech reviewers have the equipment to actually test the response time. What it feels like is the best we can do.
@@curt8806 Because he can? He is a tech review channel, why can't he say that?
Yup
Dave’s videos are like therapy for me
Dave : wishes to have amd
Me : look how the turn tables
When he steps back at 4:30 and you remember that he’s standing
thought the same!
What a liar...
wait what, didn't he made a video proving that he's sitting or i was woooshing
@@issamassafi Yes he did
I guess it's a sit/stand desk??!!
nope, that "table" you see there is just a piece of wood sitting directly on the floor
Dave: it's perfectly balanced
Also Dave: *doesn't spin laptop*
Me: I don't even recognize you anymore
not that you knew me back then but it all comes back to me in the end
not i isnot the hardware design for light gaming so you can not play more than few hour before it go too hot...
That logo disappearing at 0:38 was dope
My dream laptop but the fact I can’t afford it. hits my feels
Put some ice on it. Good as new in a day or two! 😉
i had since last year... right now i used alienware 51m more... that thing work better for when you need to bring it for short travel...
I can afford it but you'll never find any laptop in my country until I got back to America that has anything better than an i5 7300hq nothing more so I'm gonna wait
Get it on white Friday rn. U might be able to afford it at this time
When AMD could get you twice the cores with 3 less nm's and equivalent single core performance for the same price, but Intel pays you to use them.
Edit: ok I didn't expect this to blow up. I didn't mean the 'intel paying OEMs' bit seriously. This is obviously not confirmed.
Also,
1. The nm argument is valid, and perhaps I was wrong in comparing intel's 10nm with AMD's 7nm. The point is, AMD delivers more performance per watt of power used.
2. To those of you who believe that AMD does not have 15W CPUs, go see the Ryzen 4500U and 4700U laptops which are already out.
3. I completely agree that Intel is more convenient right now, but I strongly believe that AMD will dominate by next year if Intel doesn't release something competitive.
Kushagra Tiwari you really think intel is paying for giving CPUs
@@bartomiejkomarnicki7506 Yep
@@bartomiejkomarnicki7506 They do. They have been fined billions for doing that before, but when fines are small compared to your mindshare loss, you would not care.
Id say its probably because of Thunderbolt support too

Dave deserves better than all these played out question/answer format comments. Great article/review. I wonder if the 4 Core Ryzen 35W has a significantly larger drain on battery consumption than the 4 Core Intel 25W - I realise the clue is in their wattage but wonder how this translates in actual use.
Looks nice! Wish it had a slightly more powerful graphics card (1660Ti), but that's probably the sacrifice for the smaller build size. I currently switched out a MAG-15 for the Zephyrus G-14 and I'm digging it so far, but on the shallow aesthetic end, the Razor Blade Stealth looks really nice. This is coming from a 2015 13" Macbook pro user who deep down wants a 13" Macbook Pro with VR and gaming support. Currently the Zephyrus G14 is the closest thing.

Hey Dave, I have a question. Can you please tell me between AMD and Intel, Which one is better for gaming? And please also tell that which is a better value for money chipset for gaming. BTW big fan of yours.
Thanks for helping me choose based on my kink for matte black laptops
Intel: When I’m done, half of the laptops will still exist. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be. I hope they remember us. (Amd approaching through Wormhole)
xdd
Actually it's true
razar is a less reliable laptop............cause his previous laptop broke
watch his other video for the prove
Lol. I think your right!
@@zerofivetwelve nice
It was not so long ago when people said "why AMD" and now it is like "why not AMD"
AMD had their coming to Jesus moment that the likes of Nintendo had when they released the Nintendo Switch. Now everyone wants their product.
AMD yes
Yes, i remember a few years ago while buying my pc, i avoided amd....last year, my son wanted a laptop...we found a amd Asus, we did some research and ended up buying it...i hope they amd can keep delivering better products every year an affordable price so we consumer will decide what is better...i also hope amd can enter the smartphone industry at some point.
I don't want AMD, nope. Won't forget how they crash and crash and crash :-D

Best laptop I’ve bought. Never thought I would switch my Lenovo thinkpad
You can choose different color options for the keyboard. There's a whole host of different cool lighting effects including combining effects. It's on the bottom left of the software screen.

Hi Dave I've been a long time viewer of yours for about 4 years now and I'm about to go off to college. I would like to build my own gaming pc for my dorm but I'm not sure how to start. Could you make a step by step video where you show us yourself building a pc with a good balance of price and performance?
intel has been pulling the wool over our eyes for decades. THANK YOU AMD
Dave: This would be perfect if it had an amd chip in it
Me: Ahh how the turntables.
This cringey The Office reference again.
This is my biggest frustration yet, thanks for bringing it up, I was searching for a fairly good Ryzen machine for my sister, there is NOTHING convenient, especially in Europe, you can find some, but they really don't look that good and they are fairly old. Such a shame...
A different ending music this time!! Love it!!
I love when Dave gets a bit passionate in the reviews and keeps it minimal with editing. "WHY WOULD THERE BE TWO WIFI CARDS?" Actually made me laugh out loud. And Dave, I say this as someone who just bought an XPS 17 with an i7, PLEASE keep preaching for AMD in laptops. We need someone fighting for the consumer. Thank you
I don't understand why companies aren't going with AMD. They get more performance for less money. Operating at lower costs improves profit margins. Is Intel's marketing that good that consumers would rather have an intel chip?
@@Nathan-tg4gu I'd say yes to most consumers would rather have an Intel chip. At least older people who don't keep up with tech news. "it's what I've used for the last 5 years and I don't want to change". But also larger companies didn't want to put all their eggs into AMD's basket before seeing how it would really perform in real world consumer devices. These laptops take a long time to design and I guarantee you most companies are already starting to work on new hardware with AMD support, but those new devices might not roll out for another year or so
KEN CULT Additionally, most non tech people think laptops with intel inside stickers are really good.
How is the xps 17 doing for you? I’m considering purchasing one too. Thank you
@@LongNguyen-oo8up I LOVE it. It's a beautiful machine and has amazing performance. It comes at a premium price, but I'm so happy I pulled the trigger

Finally we got the answer!
@Chethan Reddy hahaha. Wow 13 years. Didn't realise I've been in youtube for that long.
nope! the table he's using is height adjustable, in some videos he sits, in others, he stands, you can only tell based on where the table is positioned, next to his shirt.
@@jeneralgod you can also tell the height of the table based on how much of the lights you can see. The light sticks are a good rule of thumb: the more you can see, the lower the table and vice versa. I haven't really noticed a difference though.

@@menmanamikaze1830 chill man never said he wasnt entitled to one, nor does it take that choice away from him when he explicitly states that bias for Razer in the vid too. Neither have I said that I lost the slightest of respect for him in whatever capacity.

He sounds like a parent trying to get their kids to share stuff.
Hey Dave, what do you think about the HP Envy x360 15m-ee0013dx? It's a 2-in-1 and it's got a Ryzen 5 4500u and it's all metal. Please do a review! Great content!
Hi Dave! Im an architect student and i have a macbook pro from 2015. It sucks, I almost cant run any of the required software, and i would like to know if you think this would be a great option.
