The Eluktronics RP-15 excels in 3D rendering, machine learning, and other engineering tasks due to its powerful AMD processor and Nvidia RTX GPU, making it well-suited for intensive gaming and demanding applications, but it is less portable and has a shorter battery life. On the other hand, the Razer Book 13, with its Intel i7 processor and Intel Iris Xe graphics, is more portable with a longer battery life and a touchscreen display, ideal for business use and general productivity on the go, but it is not as well-equipped for gaming or heavy computational tasks. Both have similar storage and memory, and their prices are comparable. Consider whether portability and battery life or performance in demanding tasks are more crucial for your needs. Give Feedback

Hardware Canucks

Eber Anthony | October 2020
"To conclude, I’m genuinely impressed with Eluktronics and what they have been able to deliver with the RP-15. You see this is all about maximizing performance, cooling, and giving users the most flexible I/O, and then wrapping it into a chassis that doesn’t feel super cheap. Let’s also not forget the price point, I think they have really nailed it in that department."

NotebookCheck

Allen Ngo | December 2020
"The Razer Book is like an XPS 13, but faster. The Book 13 combines the design philosophy and performance of a Blade Stealth with the 16:10 display of a Dell XPS 13 for an impressive piece of hardware. Office users who want something more stylish than the typical Dell, HP or Lenovo will certainly find themselves drawn to this Razer subnotebook. If your priorities are to have the best-looking and fastest 13-inch laptop in the office over auxiliary features, however, then the Book 13 proudly fulfills that niche."
