The post Razer Blade 15 Base (2018) Review (i7-8750H & GTX1060 Max-Q) first appeared on KitGuru.]]>
We took a look at the recently updated Razer Blade 15 Advanced model back in October and in this review we assess the newest Base model which is Razer's way of introducing some of the Razer Blade's features to a more budget conscious audience. It still doesn't come cheap with a RRP of £1,480 for the 128GB model, but it does shave off around £250 from the starting price of the Advanced model. But what has been sacrificed and is this a laptop a worthy member of the well-regarded Razer Blade line up?

Specifications:

  • Display Size: 15.6″
  • Display Type: Full HD 60Hz, 100% sRGB, matte screen
  • Processor: 8th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-8750H processor
  • Graphics: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1060 Max-Q Design 6GB
  • Memory: 16GB Dual-Channel DDR4-2667MHz
  • Storage: Up to 256GB SSD plus 2TB HDD (5400rpm)
  • Ports: 1x mDP, 1x HDMI, 1x Type-C,  3 x USB 3.1
  • Thunderbolt 3: Yes
  • Ethernet Port: Yes
  • Dimensions: 19.9mm x 355mm x 235mm
  • Weight: 2.03KG

This laptop uses the hexa-core i7-8750H processor which has a base clock of 2.2GHz but will turbo boost up to 4.1GHz under load on a single core.

The 16GB of memory is DDR4 and runs at a speed of 2667MHz. The GPU-Z screenshots show both the Intel integrated graphics and the dedicated Max Q Nvidia GTX 1060. The Max Q GTX 1060 features 6GB of GDDR5 memory and has a default clock of 1265MHz and a rated boost clock of 1480MHz. However, during testing we did notice the boost clock peaked at nearly 1750MHz and levelled out around 1600Mhz which is rather impressive and makes it a very fast Max Q GPU.

The Fusion II from PC Specialist aims to combine elegance with power to create a portable gaming laptop suitable for all scenarios. With the inclusion of an i7 8750H and NVIDIA GTX 1060 (Max-Q) graphics, this is a thin and light gaming laptop that should pack a punch! It also comes at a tempting price of £1199, but how well does it perform?

MSI have been producing a fine line of gaming-oriented laptops for the last couple of years and today we look at their latest super slimline 17 inch model which features a Core i7 processor, Nvidia GTX 1060 graphics, and a 4k IPS panel along with Steelseries keyboard and Killer networking. At £1999.99 inc. VAT, the MSI GS73 6RF ‘Stealth Pro' targets the wealthy enthusiast user who places a heavy demand on portability.

We have reviewed many of the high-end ultra powerful desktop replacement laptops in recent months, including the latest MSI Titan 18.4 inch monster featuring dual GTX1080 GPUs in SLi (Review HERE). The ‘Stealth Pro' caters to the other side of the enthusiast market – the audience who believe that a laptop should in fact be completely portable and even used ‘on the lap' when the desire or situation demands.

The MSI GS73 6RF ‘Stealth Pro' has different panel options available – a 120Hz 1080p and a slightly more expensive IPS 4k 60Hz option which we are looking at today.

Both of these options actually make sense. Hard core gamers will likely prefer the 120Hz 1080p option while other users will appreciate the fantastic clarity and sublime colour rendition from the 4K IPS panel.

The ‘mobile' GTX 1060 GPU compares very favourably with the ‘full-on' desktop card. While the core clock and boost clock is a tad lower on the mobile part, it maintains the 80 texture units, 10 SM units, 1,280 shaders and 48 ROPS of the desktop card. Both cards are equipped with 6GB of GDDR5 memory – which is plenty for 1080p gaming.
