How is your experience with it so far? I'm just curious since a lot of people complain about the quality of Razer products? I hope you guys reply to this post though! 

 

Thanks for reading!

Didn't they make a video addressing the issues they had with their Razer Blade laptops?

 

Doesn't look like a laptop company I would support (not sure why Linus keeps daily driving one though - there might just not be any alternatives for him..)

I believe I heard them say somewhere that the failure rate was spectacularly high. Not 100% sure, but I am fairly sure about this.

Quote from the first second of the video I linked:
"A third of the Razer Blades that we bought last year have been returned to Razer for diagnosis or repair and still more are suffering from ongoing issues"

Not that positive ...

The LMG staff are not super active on this forum, just in random threads. You could PM some of them and would have a better chance of getting an answer.

But the experiences I heard from that video + have seen on this forum from other members (very high repair costs for example) have made me avoid Razer for large purchases.

(I know people do have good experiences with warranty in the peripheral department).

I am one of the people that had good experiences with the warranty and good products, I have been using Razer's products for more than 2 years now and they are still working like I'm expected. I do have some RMA but they happened fast and nicely with helpful representative. Though I don't like some of their product quality though but overall I don't think Razer create bad products. That's my opinion only.

I don't think most people use them any more. Any video with someone using a laptop, it's not the blade.

Best to ask on Twitter, not many employees are on the forum. And those that are here, are here to maintain the LTT Official section and the Floatplane section and the rare LTT merch issues.

What kind of silly response is this? What are you trying to say with it?

Do you think Linus is lying in the video to get views..? Or are you saying it's just some non-serious piece?

 

This a REVIEW of a new laptop with EXPERIENCES of another dozen laptops. REVIEWS are the bread and butter of the LTT channel (well, it was a year or two ago), so you couldn't classify this as a 'well we had to release something..' video.

They have those types of videos, but it's quite obvious which those are (e.g. the 'Linus responds to mean comments' video and... more).

 

So please elaborate on your comment; because like this it's just a useless remark.
