The Razer Blade 15 (2021) was given a bit of an update this week as the company continues to call it the "best Gaming Laptop out there." This version of the machine has a 15-inch 360Hz refresh rate with 2MS response time – that's the Advanced Model – while the Base Model has 144Hz and 8MS. Both versions have 100 sRGB color.

There's also an "Advanced Model" version with 240Hz and 2.5ms response time, G-Sync, and Advanced Optimus tech. This version rolls with 95% sRGB color. There's a base model with 165Hz display with 3MS response time. The base model has 100% DCI-P3.

The Razer Blade 15 also has a 4K edition. This version has a 4K OLED display and the most tricked-out set of specifications. You'll see the full collection of specifications and potential builds above and below, both Advanced and Base.
