what's your (intended) major? battery life is your number one desire, over all else -- a laptop, if it runs out of battery energy by your 1pm lab, is useless. And no, you won't find available power sockets throughout the day - someone else will always find the two or three that are in a lecture hall first; that is if the department doesn't already turn them off except when cleaning crews are in.

Razer Blade, long lifetime ?

I'd like to know what people are running to hit those numbers -- as with all the games I've been running through, I've yet to see any core go above 74 o4 75C.... -
It's not putting out 90C when watching Hulu.... you're just being trolled somewhere along the line; likely from wherever the "original source" graph is coming from - . I just did an hour of Hulu in full-screen with a max CPU core at 54C @ 70% load. No appreciable warmth to the touch. I am betting if someone did achieve those temps on Hulu, they were deliberately covering ventilation ports throughout and allowing for natural heat buildup to occur.

both options would likely be overkill for both these functions; so choose entirely on what you want in a gamer.

I've seen that for prior model years - with a reported improved temperature handling in 2015. I am curious if there's been reports on the current year -- with the lower power cpus, etc., and reported changes in design last year, if it remains a issue that's yet been shown to exist in the 2016 edition. I am guessing then the answer really is - that it has had issues in the past, so be weary and check on if the issues continue forward. Fair 'nuff.

describe the work you're undertaking.

curious where you're getting this info - I haven't seen any in depth reviews on the new razer blade 14 yet. I'd like to read the info; still time to cancel the pre-order if I wish.

... not sure Razer reads this forum; do they? But a delay of a month occurs fairly routinely in many supply chains on new product launch. I can't spell out how many times I waited a tad extra on Apple, MSI and Gigabyte products. But it happens... so just sit back, enjoy what you still have for a period of time and let the anticipation brew and mellow a bit.

I concur - same here; moved to May 18th. woo-hoo! Time is nearly here

Yep -- Indeed, I am currently replacing my former laptop (2009 edition Macbook Air with it's single USB-2 port, 1G RAM, dual-core + bootcamp/vista) with two laptops; one PC and one Mac. On the PC side I have the 2016 Razer Blade 14 on pre-order. I really _really_ wanted to see a skylake update to the current Macbook Air 13; as it would have complemented my coding and MacOs side needs nicely in a lightweight package. However, I'll accept Broadwell if so need be.
-
uhhh sure -- but given the laptop it's replacing is a model year 2009 second generation Macbook Air with a single USB-2 port and 1G of RAM and loaded with bootcamp / Windows Vista, I expect the answer will be drooltastic no matter how it performs.

I emailed support and received a fast turnaround - my assumption was correct. the 4/25 date remains for the first batch of pre-orders. The date on the website is shown for pre-orders made now.
-
My pre-order still says 25 April -- I am guessing the backlog of pre-orders is such that the original production allotment is filled and the second allotment is set for shipping on 13 May. Not entirely sure what the issue is otherwise.
