From a cursory glance, it's easy to mistaken the mercury white Razer Blade 15 Studio Edition laptop for a MacBook Pro. The only real giveaway is the lack of a glowing apple on the Razer's lid. Although Apple's line of MacBook Pro laptops has been the go-to option for photographers and creatives for quite some time, an increasing amount of this user base has been jumping ship to Windows alternatives in recent years.

Apple's general lack of innovation, disappointing price to performance ratio, as well as the company's heavy-handed walled garden approach to hardware and software development are just some of the reasons cited by those making the exodus from Macs to Windows. While tech-savvy photographers and creatives looking to get the most bang for their buck have been building their own Windows-based editing desktops or using gaming computers as a substitute, it wasn't until recently that computer manufacturers began designing laptops specifically with creative professionals in mind. The Razer Blade 15 Studio Edition, a variant of the Razer Blade 15 Advanced that we had previously checked out, is one such laptop designed specifically to tackle the needs of professional photographers and creatives. The Razer Blade 15 Studio Edition laptop comes configured with a 9th generation Intel Core i7-9750H Hexa-Core CPU with a base clock speed of 2. 6 GHz (overclockable to 4. 5 GHz), a Nvidia's workstation-grade Quadro RTX 5000 GPU with 16 GB of GDDR6 VRAM, 32 GB of DDR4 memory, along with a lightning-fast Samsung 1TB M. 2 NVMe PCIe 3. 0 x4 Solid State Drive. While this hardware combination certainly looked impressive on paper, it comes with an equally impressive price tag to match: US $3,999. 99. We had to find out for ourselves if these specs translated to real-world performance, and if that asking price was warranted. . thephoblographer.com
