Razer Blade 2016 real or fake?

[Guir]

Hi! First post here!

Sry if it's in the wrong place. 

 

I'm on the market for a Razer Blade 2016 in the UK!
My only option is amazon UK and the price went from 1500+ £ yesterday to 760£ today:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Razer-Laptop-Computer-Discrete-Graphics/dp/B01LZ1MIO6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1485077427&sr=8-1&keywords=razer%2Bblade&th=1

 

Is this legit?!?!

 

Should i buy it??

Also, 10 minutes ago there were 4 in stock, now  Only 3 left in stock.

Thanks in advance

Yes, it's legit.

DO NOT buy the 256gb model. It's very small for installing games. Get at least 512gb.

Other than that, you should buy it!

 

DO NOT BUY IT FROM THERE!!! GET IT AT www.razerzone.com/store

"Dispatched from and sold by I CȦN'T SHlP T0 ȦLL ADDREṢSES. BEF0RE "ȦDD T0 BȦSKET"; C0NTȦCT US: ℹinfo[ẚṫ]mail592.comℹ. " That sounds a bit dodgy. I wouldn't risk it for that cost. I would find a reputable seller.

Yes... Looks kinda sketchy...
I really don't know what to do.
The thing is there are no other sellers for this laptop in the UK or europe.

It's so undepriced that I'm having a lot of doubts...

yeah i wouldnt risk it ether thats a weird as message to get

[joshfrog]

if you could pay by pay pall that could work least if they screw you you would get your money back but i havnt used pay pall in ages so maybe thats changed i dono

Well, I contacted the seller asking about the shipping.

Now it really starts to look like a scam... =(

or there selling stolen laptops but it does seem weird i wonder why its so cheap and why they droped the price in half

[Guir]

It's also strange that they have the full lineup with lower prices:
QHD+ Full HD and all kinds of SSD options...
I was really hoping for it to be real... but I guess not...

Because they have horrible QC and are currently throttled super hard on the BIOS so the 1060 doesn't overheat.  Of which this means you only get 1050 Ti performance... which blows.
