Pros and Cons

MSI Crosshair 15

Strengths

Gaming performance was great, I mean yeah sure, not quite as good as some other 3070 laptops with a MUX switch or higher GPU power limits, but regardless you'll be running modern games at 1440p decent settings no problem on this hardware.
The 1440p screen was quite good in terms of color gamut and brightness was acceptable. Response time was alright, but the overdrive mode didn't seem to do anything.
Shipping it with decent RAM was a plus
You can still use the up arrow key to max out the fans and keyboard lighting adjustment works too.

Weaknesses

The laptop was surprisingly poor considering the 90Wh size of the battery
The fans could use some tuning. The laptop is more audible compared to a lot of others, and it's either too loud or too quiet.
The screen wobble and weird touchpad problem were notable issues
The ports weren't amazing, USB 2.0 in 2022 feels a bit rough

Razer Blade Stealth

Strengths

The build quality is excellent and complemented well by the RGB keyboard and trackpad.
The display is good with a nice high resolution and it's not as hamstrung by bezels as previous models.
The improved performance from Intel Core i7 8550 is great to see.
Razer provides top-end hardware for the price, making it fairly priced compared to other premium laptops.

Weaknesses

The battery life is not particularly impressive and gets soundly beaten by both the HP Spectre x-360 and the Dell XPS 13.
There's a concern with occasional QA issues Razer has had with this unit over the past few years.
The laptop can be expensive, with a price tag of $1,500 US.
The battery life is actually worse than some other similar laptops, like the outstanding Dell XPS 13.

MSI Crosshair 15

The MSI Crosshair 15 is a gaming laptop that boasts impressive specs, but its value proposition remains uncertain. With a 1440p screen, 12th gen processor, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 GPU, it should deliver silky-smooth performance in modern games. However, its battery life falls short of expectations, and the cooling system could be more refined. The price tag also seems steep compared to similar laptops on the market. Can this gaming laptop justify its cost with strong performance and a unique design?

Razer Blade Stealth

The Razer Blade Stealth is a sleek and powerful ultraportable laptop that boasts excellent build quality, an RGB keyboard, and a high-resolution display. Equipped with the latest Intel Core i7-8550U processor, 16GB of RAM, and a Samsung PM 961 PCIe NVMe SSD, this laptop delivers impressive performance in various workloads. However, its battery life falls short compared to similar laptops like the Dell XPS 13, making it a compromise for those seeking top-notch hardware in a compact package.
