That said, you can give it some fun new capabilities with a few handy third-party apps. The MacBook Pro has the Touch Bar as an alternative input, but we found it struggled to convince us of its usefulness. In fact, in our review, we called it “the best Mac keyboard ever released.” The Razer Blade 15, on the other hand, has a fantastic keyboard, though Razer wedged in a full-size up arrow between the shift and question mark keys, which resulted in us frequently hitting the wrong button.
While we found previous generations of the MacBook Pro frustrating in its keyboard design (which has a tendency to fail), the newest versions of the MacBook Pro has a much-improved keyboard. It also has an HDMI and Mini DisplayPort for hooking up external displays. While some MacBook Pro versions can have up to four Thunderbolt 3 ports, they are all USB-C, whereas the Blade 15 has a single USB-C Thunderbolt 3 port and three USB-A 3.1 ports. It doesn’t offer quite so much versatility in port selection, though. It’s also thinner and lighter than the Razer Blade 15.
The MacBook Pro is, as always, a beautiful design, and its silver paint job makes it look starkly different from Razer’s usual black aesthetic (although the Space Gray option is a little closer). Razer had the forethought to keep a larger top bezel, though, which means the webcam remains mounted up top where it belongs. Its bezels have been trimmed down for this generation of hardware, making for a seamless-looking display.
There’s a reason we used to call Razer “the Apple of gaming.” Typically, its hardware looks like black-painted MacBooks, but that changed in the latest design, with the Razer Blade 15 having a more boxy look while maintaining the sleek lines and low-profile of its predecessors. That means new buyers may find it increasingly tough to pick which path to go down, which is why we’re pitting the Razer Blade 15 against the MacBook Pro to see which is the better choice. Gaming or not, the Blade 15 cuts down the MacBook.
