Pros and Cons

Razer Blade Pro 17

Strengths

The Razer Blade Pro 17 has ample internal horsepower for photo and video editing.
It has excellent connectivity options including Thunderbolt 3, Ethernet, HDMI, and a full-size SD card reader.
There's a large display option available, which is a nice feature compared to the MacBook Pro.
The machine can handle workloads that a short time ago were only possible on a large desktop workstation with NVIDIA Studio drivers.
It's capable of gaming at 120Hz albeit probably with the resolution turned down if you're playing AAA titles.
The GPU hit a maximum temperature of just 68 degrees while gaming, which is very comfortable even for a desktop graphics card.
Razer's thermal engineers came through with good cooling performance, maintaining an average CPU frequency of 3.1 GHz and keeping temperatures below 80 degrees Celsius.
It's more like a Swiss Army knife - you can game at 120Hz or get some real work done at 4K depending on your needs.

Weaknesses

The machine costs $3700, which is quite expensive compared to other laptops in the market.
The display resolution might be too high for gaming purposes, leading to potential performance issues.
The fans can get noisy while cooling the system during intense usage.
The current year still hasn't settled on 1440p as the standard resolution for gaming laptops despite it being a sweet spot for many users.
Many laptop makers prioritize buzzword-y specs over actual user needs, resulting in unnecessary features like high resolutions that may not be beneficial for all users.
You might need to compromise on resolution or performance while gaming at 120Hz due to hardware limitations.
The machine is designed more for showcasing tech capabilities rather than catering specifically to gamers' needs.
It's a shame that laptop makers are prioritizing movie-related technologies (like 4K) over the actual gaming community's preferences, resulting in unnecessary features like high resolutions.

Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro

Strengths

It's a really good value considering its price.
It performs great for popping out high-res illustrations, no problem.
You're getting an i7 processor which is not an i5, that's a major plus.
The laptop is super duper thin and has a good performance for the price.

Weaknesses

The build quality can be better, there are some little nitpicks here and there.
Palm rejection can be a problem, especially with certain apps like Critter.
Fan placement can be a design issue if you're using it as a tablet on your lap.
The laptop might not be ideal for heavy-duty workflows like 3D work or video editing.

Razer Blade Pro 17

The elusive perfect laptop. We've all been there - convinced that the latest and greatest specs will revolutionize our productivity and gaming experiences. But when reality sets in, we're often left with buyer's remorse. I'm guilty of this myself, particularly with the Razer Blade Pro 17, which boasts a 4K display and 120Hz refresh rate. As someone who initially thought these features were essential, I now question whether they truly make a difference - and at what cost.

Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro

The Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro is a slim and lightweight laptop that packs an impressive punch with its i7 processor and 8GB RAM. While it may not be built for heavy-duty workflows, it excels in tasks like high-res illustration and everyday productivity. However, the compromise on build quality and fan noise is noticeable, making it a great value proposition for those seeking a balance between performance and price. In this review, we'll explore its strengths and weaknesses to determine if it's the right fit for creators on a budget.
