Most people will tell you Razer is cancer. I guess they have poor QA on their devices. At least the newer ones. Back in the day their prodcuts were not too bad. But Linus has mentioned that neurmous of their Razer laptops had to be sent in for reapir if I recall correctly. 

 

Alienware I cant say much. I dont keep up with them. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

You can’t. Razer  is known for QA issues. There is nothing you can do. It’s kind like Apple and those butterfly switch keyboards. It was a known issue but consumers couldn’t do shit about it. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

Do you want it for Gaming?

144 Hz > 4k. Espeicially on such a small Screen.

 

Without knowing what you want to do, it's not easy to recommend you something.

 

At least, i think more than 1080p does not provide you that much more, as pixel density is already very solid there.
But 1080p / 144 hz will give you the option to always have very good, smooth frames, even exceeding 60. Which is very nice.
And even outside of Gaming, 144 Hz is very usefull.

 

 

Btw: Not that i have tried them all but.. Dell has one of the best Services out there.

Had a Dell Monitor, and a tiny issue. Went into Contact with them, they send me a new model, without even asking for my Bill or anything. I could just compare them both.

 

On my Acer Monitor? Nope. I had to send it away. 2 times to Acer, they were completely useless. And the guy on the phone didn't even try to solve my problem.
Third time i did it over the Shop itself.
Total 5 weeks without my main Monitor.

So yea... All thumbs up for Dell Support.

For what it's worth, I have had 2 Razer blade laptops and both were amazing with no issues. I actually ended up owning the first one I had for only a few months before the newest one was released; opened an RMA and they accepted the return with a full refund and no questions asked. I then used the money to buy the newest 15 with the 9750h and the MAX-Q 2080 (didn't opt/want the 4k screen though). This thing is truly amazing for it's size and form factor. I have used Clevo/Sager in the past and have honestly not been impressed with them.

There's your "issue". You owned it for a few months. I've had the new Blade 15 for over a year, and had issue since day one. Good riddance on that one!

If you had issues since day 1, then it's enough for him to own one for only 1 month. He had NO issues from day 1, and NO issues on Day 30.
And if this is the case, in 99% of all cases, it will continue in having NO issues for a long time ?

Anyway, these are now 2 samples.
Which are by them own irrelevant.

You will not find 1 single Product in this World, that noone ever had any issues with.

 

Even a 150k Car can give you unusual Issues that are not common. That doesn't mean, every single Model from that company will have the same issues.

I've owned my Razer Blade 15 since February 2019 and have not had a single issue with it.
