xps 15 or blade 15 for school

[jonathancccc]

i am struggling to choose a laptop, someone please save me 

 

i would mainly bring this laptop to class to work and play some overwatch on it when i get bored in class

which one should i get?

I've been reading a lot of articles and asking a lot of people but all of them have different responses 

So can someone please save me thank you

i do not need to do all my gaming on my laptop as i have a gaming rig at home,, its just for some overwatch when on the go 

 

Btw, is it possible to get mercury white razer blade out of USA, Canada and China? I live in Hong Kong and i really want that, to be honest if the mercury white one was available here i would have just go for razer blade

what is your budget?

The XPS is really good at everything, excepting gaming (I have an XPS 9560). Even playing Overwatch after 10-20 minutes I get power limit throttling and my CPU throttles to 800MHz, causing FPS to drop to 20~ (this is a well known issue with many XPS lines). I even re-pasted my CPU/GPU and added thermal pads to the VRM. If you want to do any gaming I would recommend the Blade.

I've heard too many reliabilty issues with Razer laptops until the point where even without hands on experience, I don't recommend them. 

 

Below is a screen grab from Linus' video on their problems with their Blade's

but this is the really old blade though, linus did mention in the 2018 blade review video that its way better than before but im still a little worried

Neither are good options
