Razer has been making gaming laptops for many years now, expanding the line from just the Stealth to the Blade 15 and Blade 17 Pro (and the RTX Studio editions too). Watching how Razer evolved its design and fix mistakes has been a fun part of my job, as the company clearly listens to both fans and reviewers.
