Which Razer Laptop to buy for school

I was looking at the razer blade 15 with the 1060 and 2060, as well as the razer blade stealth. I'm torn between which one to buy because Id like to buy the cheapest one that suits all of my needs seamlessly. 

 

All I would be using it for its general school work, 3d modeling for engineering, 2.7k video editing, and some light gaming. 

 

Is there a different laptop you recommend all together? 

 

Thanks

You buy razer for it to break down in class and cost a lot to fix if they even fix it for you. Lacking reliability and high price is why Razer is not Apple in the gaming world.

 

MSI GS65 and Asus Zephyrus are the best chassis for lightweight high performance laptops, tho you're probably getting mid spec models since you prefer better value.

good to know about razer 

 

i have brought it down to

VS

The only real difference is the MSI have a 1070 with 256gb of ssd while the ASUS has 512gb with a 1660ti. Not to sure which one to choose solely based on performance.

Solely comparing GPUs, 1660ti is both faster and more efficient. On paper the Asus laptop wins then

 

but I only know about comparing core hardware, I know little on the rest of the stuff say monitors and battery life since I focus more on desktops.
