If you're looking for a laptop that is budget-friendly and suitable for everyday tasks like web browsing, office work, and media consumption, the Lenovo V15 is a sensible choice. However, if you need high performance for gaming, 3D rendering, or intensive machine learning tasks and are willing to invest more, the Razer Blade 15, with its superior graphics and processing capabilities, would be the better option. Keep in mind that the Razer Blade 15 also tends to have a more premium build quality but may be heavier and have a shorter battery life than the Lenovo V15, making the latter more portable for on-the-go use.

The Razer Blade 15 and Lenovo V15 are both good for general use, though the Razer Blade 15 is somewhat better.
The Lenovo V15's appeal for general use lies in its AMD Ryzen 5 CPU and 16GB of RAM, providing a solid performance baseline, with its lighter weight and longer battery life enhancing its portability for everyday tasks. In contrast, the Razer Blade 15 leverages its superior Intel i7 CPU and Nvidia RTX GPU for more demanding applications, but its premium screen quality and build are balanced by a heavier weight and shorter battery lifespan, making it less ideal for on-the-go use despite better performance.

The Razer Blade 15 is very good for gaming and AI, while the Lenovo V15 is only fair.
The Razer Blade 15 offers superior gaming and 3D performance due to its powerful Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti GPU, which outperforms the integrated AMD Vega 7 graphics in the Lenovo V15, and its high 240Hz screen refresh rate provides smoother visuals compared to the V15's standard 60Hz refresh rate. While both laptops have capable CPUs and quality displays, the Razer's advantages are particularly important for demanding activities like gaming and 3D rendering.

The Razer Blade 15 has a better screen than the Lenovo V15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
If you prioritize a crisp and vibrant display for everyday tasks like browsing the web, working with documents, or watching videos, the Razer Blade 15’s high-resolution panel with better brightness makes it a superior choice over the Lenovo V15. When it comes to engineering and design work such as CAD, photo editing, or graphic design, the Razer Blade 15 also stands out with its wider color gamut offering more accurate color reproduction, crucial for this kind of professional work. However, for gaming or working with 3D applications that benefit from smoother visuals, the Razer Blade 15's lack of a high refresh rate could make fast-paced scenes less fluid compared to laptops designed with gaming-grade screens.

Marvin Gollor | April 2022
"The strengths of the Lenovo V15 G2 AMD lie in its expandability of the RAM and allowing you to use two SSDs, in its performance that goes beyond everyday applications thanks to AMD's hexa-core CPU and Vega-7 iGPU, in its good keyboard, and its relatively robust case. In addition, the battery life of the office laptop is also acceptable, and the device stays cool and relatively quiet."

Allen Ngo | March 2022
"The 2022 Blade 15 offers roughly 15 to 25 percent faster graphics performance and 20 percent faster CPU performance over last year's Core i7-11800H and RTX 3080 model. Thankfully, the system doesn't need to run noticeably louder or warmer to achieve faster results, but both power consumption and battery life take a hit. The higher consumption in particular appears to be a trend amongst many 12th gen Core laptops including the Schenker Uniwill Technology GM7AG8P or MSI Vector GP66 when compared to their previous generation counterparts. We're also glad to not see below-average CPU performance which was the case for the 10th gen Core i7-10875H model."
