The Razer Blade 15 is a high-performance gaming laptop with a premium price, offering top-tier CPU and GPU capabilities that make it ideal for intensive tasks like gaming, 3D rendering, and machine learning. Its 240Hz screen with 188.28 PPI and excellent color coverage is perfect for fast-motion content and professional-grade color accuracy. However, it's heavier and less portable, with a shorter battery life compared to the Samsung.
In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 14 is a versatile 2-in-1 device with a midrange price, providing a balance of performance and portability. Its OLED display boasts vibrant colors and deep blacks, making it exceptional for general use and media consumption. The touchscreen and included stylus add to its versatility, though it falls short in raw performance and gaming capabilities due to its less powerful GPU. It's also thinner, lighter, and has a longer battery life, making it more suitable for on-the-go use.
Choose the Razer Blade 15 if you prioritize performance and gaming over portability and battery life. Opt for the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 14 if you want a versatile, portable device with an outstanding display for everyday tasks and media consumption. Give Feedback

How the Razer Blade 15 and the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 14 compare to other laptops
"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."
