Hmmm. Too expensive. 

 

Now that thats out of the way I do actually kinda like it. It would be nice to have a good laptop again that I can actually do something with. That no hdmi audio is a big turn off to me though.

nice review, linus to his best once again, to bad he wasnt really able to test gaming performance, but if that is still the same it shouldn't be bad.

 

and i just realized how much this thing looks like a macbook pro with the speakers to the side of the keyboard, damn...

 

edit:

linus made a small mistake, he didnt mentoin the fact this has a touchscreen, which kinda sucks combined with a gaming system IMO

May the light have your back and your ISO low.

The hdmi audio issue was with the TV, not the blade

This is the only Razer product that I deem it worth its price. This design with decent cooling solution (though it does overheat slowly, but it takes at least 2 hours), M.2 SSD, crazy display etc.

the battery life form the mac is impossible to find on most windows systems, the things that come pretty close are thinkpads, which are robust, thick and heavy, altough most of them dont pack a punch when it comes to raw power.

you might also consider using bootcamp(pre installed) on your old macbook to install it besides OSX and have the ability to switch to windows when you want/need, altough if i'm not mistaken, the battery life goes down drastically when it runs windows.

I picked up a Razer Blade 14 (2013) from Ebay yesterday. Hopefully I'm not going to be too disappointed because of the really miserable TN Panel when it get's here... But since I've been using a MacBook (mid 2010) as my daily driver for five years now (that thing is rocking an Intel Core 2 Duo and a Nvidia 320m...) the 2013 Razer Blade can't be that big of a disappointment... Quite excited for that beast to get here!

He said the TV idin't support audio over HDMI from my understanding the Blade supports it just fine

Damn, that was quite the review, GJ Linus.

@nicklmg 

 

In this video, at about 0:30, linus mentions the pro-3 failing this, or, a similar test. 

 

Can you point me to this test and info?

I don't think he ever created a video about that. If he did mention it it would be in our SP3 review (not sure if it's there, haven't watched that video in months).

it looks awesome but at the price it will always be out of reach for me.
