Razer Blade 14 inch (2015) Review

To test today, we are putting the machine through a variety of ‘real world’ situations, mirroring the real world usage of a potential customer.

One as a media movie lover on the move (wearing headphones), a person wanting to watch high definition media on a train journey or bus with screen brightness two notches from maximum.

Second as a businessman, with screen brightness around half way. Wireless was enabled. A mixture of checking, answering emails using Microsoft Office and editing pictures in Adobe Photoshop.

Lastly as a gamer, playing Tomb Raider until the machine turned itself off.

Battery life under lighter loads is surprisingly good, averaging just over 5 hours when dealing with general tasks. The battery life suffers when heavy gaming loads are demanded, averaging just over an hour. Ideally you will want to be gaming indoors with the power adapter connected – but the test highlights that the Razer Blade actually makes for a great portable office style machine on the move.
