I'm going to microcenter today to get a laptop since I'll be starting college in August. I need something powerful and somewhat portable. My budget is around 2400-2500. I'm looking at the 2015 razer blade right now, but would also like other suggestions

How do you feel about the 14 inch size? I've only ever used 13/15 inch retina Macbooks and 17 inch gaming laptops

Perfect for me, not too big nor small, good balance to it.
