The Razer Blade 15 (Base Model, 2020) is a gaming laptop equipped with a 10th Gen Intel Core i7-10750H processor, 16 GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti graphics card. It features a 15.6-inch Full HD display with a 144 Hz refresh rate, 100% sRGB color accuracy, and thin 4.9 mm bezels. The device includes a 256 GB SSD, with the option to expand storage via an open M.2 PCIe 3.0 slot. It was designed to support a range of computing tasks, including gaming and content creation.

The Blade 15 series was introduced by Razer in 2018 and has undergone multiple hardware refreshes since its release. The 2020 Base Model sits below the Advanced Model in Razer’s lineup that year, differing primarily in thickness, thermal design, and GPU options. The Base Model uses a heat pipe cooling system and comes with single-zone RGB keyboard lighting, whereas the Advanced Model features vapor chamber cooling and per-key RGB lighting.

Razer Inc., founded in 2005 by Min-Liang Tan and Robert Krakoff, is headquartered in both San Diego, California, and Singapore. The company is known for producing gaming-focused hardware and accessories, including laptops, mice, keyboards, headsets, and software platforms. The Razer Blade line was introduced as part of Razer’s expansion into mobile gaming computers, emphasizing slim form factors and competitive specifications.

Since its release, the 2020 Razer Blade 15 Base Model has remained part of the broader Blade series, which continues to receive yearly updates. It shares design characteristics with other Blade devices but can be identified by its specific internal hardware configuration and external dimensions.
