Razer blade 13 stealth or Asus Rog Flow X13?

[Pacorebon]

Hi all, after my disappointing expirience with Xps 15 (45c or plus on the keyboard and palm rest, 45c was the limit for my thermometer..) , i chose to send it back. 

 

Now i'm chosing between Rog flow X13 and Razer blade 13 as they are the only 13inch with decent gpu, and similar priced. 

 

Plus for Razer are: build quality, aesthetics, matte display, bigger trackpad 

 

Plus for X13: better CPU, 16:10 screen. 

 

Whats your thought? 

 

Ps: for the x13 obv without xg mobile.

These aren't better in terms of temps than the xps. It is simply too much power in a small device. Both of these still have hot keyboards and palm rests.

 

The razer is the worse laptop here as while it looks and feels good it is made out of garbage quality components and it is rare for them to make it past 2 years of age without a defect or just being dead.

 

The asus is new so not really much news on that but it does seem like a decent laptop. Either way going with the razer there is a high chance it will be dead after 2 years or have had a defect happen.

 

I mean just look at linus those laptops he gave away have all died. Even the ones just used as a desktop and razer has not stepped up their game as this is still happening.

i would go with X13 bc it has better performance. If you want to show off your pc to your freinds go for the razer

To be honest both of them kinda good, imo atleast, but if i have to decide i would take the x13 over blade

 

It's depends on your use case, rog x13 seems more natural if you were about bring it at meeting or school because the back is mostly plain, but that was aesthetic

 

Better cpu is another factor of consideration,  asus x13 also convertible so there's that...

The xg mobile was a killer features (if you include it) since it basically thunderbolt dock with upto rtx 3080

Thanks for all the replies. 

It's the razer so susceptible to break? Never Heard of that in reviews.

Also the keyboard temps looking to reviews are not crazy, i know that a 13inch with a 1650 are going to be warm, but the xps was impossibile to use, it was really hurting my hands after few minutes. 

 

Of the x13 i am really worried about plastic palm rest and the back cover. 

Also the logo with "republic of gamer" it's really ugly.. 

 

I was about to be conviced with the razer but now that all of you reports of shitty components...
