RazerBlade 15" base vs advanced vs 2020?

M
I'm between the horns of a dilemma I'm undecided between the base model vs. advanced, so perhaps folks here can chime in on their thoughts. The base level (144hz + RTX 2060) - its less expensive, but includes a capable RTX 2060, and room for a second drive. the downsides so far seem to be that Razer is using a display panel that has PWM - not a fan of that to be honest. Regarding the Advanced, there's a better keyboard (optical), better display panel (240Hz), faster processor but less expandable and in the 2,500 dollar range. Then there's 2020, and the unknown of when Razer may roll out an update, Spec update, or maybe move over to AMD like some, tough wouldn't that mean no ThunderBolt?

    Thunderbolt is usable with AMD, it just needs a Thunderboltcontroller, which is integrated into Intel CPU's. But it's possible as some Mainboards show.

    I recommend avoiding the fallacy of comparing actual laptops to ones that don’t yet exist. If you do, you will never buy the present. The future is promising, but only vaporware until it’s not.

    This is why I opted for the Advanced model, the risk of PWM, 240Hz screen, and the optical keyboard. The only major downside is that there's only a single NVMe slot I'm very pleased with my razer and other than the lack of drive expandability its a great machine. I did hold off until I saw a deal that saved me a few hundred dollars. and that helped a little bit
