Razer Blade 15 (2019) Review: Don't Get the Wrong Configuration

I've been using the new Razer Blade 15 with RTX 20-series graphics for pretty much all of 2019 (as well as other configurations that I had gotten my hands on for short periods of time throughout the year), so I made this review to help consumers who are interested in the Razer Blade 15 decide which configuration to get. Making a decision is a somewhat complicated process since there are quite a number of subtleties hidden throughout the configuration process, so I hope this review helps buyers make a reasonable purchase.
