Razer Blade Stealth 13.3: Should I buy one?

[Slurpy]

Ok, I have a fully speced out Late 2016 blade stealth, worth 1600 USD new. It has been abused and has a small dent, w/ some chipped paint. A friend told me It would be worth about $1400. I also have a razer core w/ a 1060 3GB in it. So, I was wondering, would it be a good Idea to sell it for the new one w/ a larger QHD display?

Currently my biggest issue w/ the stealth is the 4k Display. I am a gamer, and It is my only laptop other than an Old ASUS that im gonna slap an SSD into soon. It has 8GB DDR3 ram and a GTX950m so It cant game that well. So, the blade stealth's 4k display isnt the best for gaming on a Dual core w/ a bottlenecked 1060.

So, should I sell it for a new one, or not.

 

Also, I am considering getting the Razer blade Late 2016, and selling the core and Blade stealth to get it.

 

Any halp is appreciated.

But hot and expensive. You can find 1070 powered laptops at its price if you are welling to look hard enough.

No an aorus X3 v7 is thin and powerful.

 

 A razer blade is an exellent foot warmer with sadly lacking battery life.  I mean, I like my foot warmers to last longer then a few matches of overwatch.

My friend has a GL502VS Skylake version, and he loves it

it is  just too thick for my taste

[Slurpy]

well, i'd always use the heating block plugged in while gaming, if that counts.

I plan to do 1440p video editing, and VR if that means anything

From experience, a Dell or Acer gaming laptop will equal the performance but cost less, chew through less battery and last longer than a Razer Blade of Shit. Those things are as reliable as alarm clocks. Once the warranty ends, the alarm goes off, and things start breaking. I'd sell the Razer and look into an XPS, Predator, maybe even an MSI if you're going to be plugged in more often than not.

Unlocked processor, amazing cooling, similar size, 300 bucks less than the base blade.

GL502VS is kinda meh when it comes to 1070 laptops. Doesn't cool too well while being a tad thick.

I  have the GL502VS the one he said lol  and it olny runs at 66degres C or 160degres F and im able to fit it into my school back pack which is small!

[Himommies]

The AlienWare 17 is also a good bet.So is the ROG strix GL502.

Also the Gigabyte Aeros are pretty good.

The issue is with certain units rather than all.

If the dual core is causing a lot of issues for you, why not? You can sell the actual unit and get something with thunderbolt 3 that can use the razer core if you want to, but the 3GB 1060 is kinda of meh to be fair since it really isn't a 1060.

A macbook might be a  better choice.Apples products are optimized so well for them that you can probaly do all that better than a 1070

One.

Why?

Two

Then why did you buy a razer blade

Three 

What games and MAC's are pretty much the industry standard for evreything.Most Professional programs(at least in the audio world)completly revolve around MAC.

One: I use windows apps alot

2: Cause it runs windows, and has better ports for me for the price

3: VR Rocket Leauge, and Minecraft(VR if I used it as a desktop replacement)
