Can I/should I trade a QHD razer blade 1060gtx and core for a blade pro or similar?

Hey y'all! So.... I tried to use a DECKED OUT razer blade and core as a desktop replacement. I built my desktop anyway thought and as a desktop replacement It works! It really does, buttttt it's just not enough power for me and I can't bring the core with me REALLY! (Could just build a mini atx tower and boom....) and it just dawned on me.. I could trade this setup for a laptop I'm more interested in! (I've got the late 2016 QHD 512gb SSD BLADE 14" i7-6700hq, etc)

 

anything with a 1080, and a mechanical keyboard. 15-17" screen at 4k resolution. 

 

Boom. Do you think that's possible? I'm gonna check the classifieds, but I've got a blade pro sitting here I "borrowed to try" from an online company that delivers packages suPRIMEly fast if U catch my drift 

 

i cant sell it on classifieds here as I don't have enojgbt posts and in 3 days I have to return it. There may be some NON razer laptops to check out (I love ASUS and MSI)

All I can say is that Razor sucks pretty bad, Asus and Acer have far more appealing models, for instance the Acer V Nitro not only is beautifully made with clean professional look it probably outperforms the Razer Blade due to much better thermals.

The new alienwares are pretty decent (99Whr battery :x) :P
If you don't care about battery life then Asus and Acer are great. I would personally get a clevo (or metabox in australia) or eurocom (rebranded clevo) as they offer great performance for a good price but don't have the best build quality, which probably wouldn't matter too much since you need a desktop replacement.

hello!

is it me you're looking for?

CPU: i7 5820k

PSU: EVGA G2 750w

Peripherals: Logitech G502, Ducky One 711

Laptop:

-Overkill Dell XPS

Fully maxed out early 2017 Dell XPS 15, GTX 1050 4GB, 7700HQ, 1TB nvme SSD, 32GB RAM, 4k display. 97Whr battery :x 
Dell was having a $600 off sale for the fully specced out model, so I decided to get it :P

 

-Crapbook

Fully specced out early 2013 Macbook "pro" with gt 650m and constant 105c temperature on the CPU (GPU is 80-90C) when doing anything intensive...

A 2013 laptop with a regular sized battery still has better battery life than a 2017 laptop with a massive battery! I think this is a testament to apple's ability at making laptops, or maybe how little CPU technology has improved even 4+ years later (at least, until the recent introduction of 15W 4 core CPUs). Anyway, I'm never going to get a 35W CPU laptop again unless battery technology becomes ~5x better than as it is in 2018.

Apple knows how to make proper consumer-grade laptops (they don't know how to make pro laptops though). I guess this mostly software power efficiency related, but getting a mac makes perfect sense if you want a portable/powerful laptop that can do anything you want it to with great battery life.

sure. 70% of the performance you're suppose to get and thermal throttling for days without the core? loud as fuck? sure.

Agree'd - without the core the blade 14 is garbage. It's loud as fuck, it's annoying, why do you think I want to get rid of it :))) hah!

 

for Biz, it's great, but everyone hates on the blade pro, don't get it. 

 

Thats why why I was going to offer someone the blade 14, core and a 1080ti fe for a pro.

Battery life sucked so hard on the asus gl502 with 1070, the 17" MSI similarly spec'd to my blade, wtfffff

 

i think I'll stick to laptop for work desktop for gaming. Just doesn't seem to make sense otherwise.

Anything makes sense if you have enough money ;)
