notebookcheck[1]
Reviewer score 77% (normalized by Neofiliac)Fan noise is generally quieter than on the G532 and closer to that of the Razer Blade 15. Surface temperatures are almost always warm on the keyboard keys and bottom panel at about 35 C or higher even when idling on desktop. Charging from empty to full capacity takes just over 1.5 hours. The battery charges more slowly if gaming, but it will thankfully not drain.
Pros
- Faster CPU and GPU performance than the G532LWS
- Long battery life
- Comfortable keyboard and clickpad
- Slim bezels
Cons
- Fan noise can be loud when gaming
