Razer Blade (14) 2015 or Aorus X5

[AJ_2K]

Hey,

 

Im planning on buying an new gaming laptop but I'm struggling on one.. Im a High School student and will be using this for school and also home gaming. I do not have a desktop for gaming (Do not ask why). Im looking forward on running Battle field 4, Gta 5, Pay Day 2, CoD, Skyrim, Witcher 2 and other game like that. Im judging this by its performance on this games. Im concerned on the keyboard that the Aorus is using and is it bad? I also saw some reviews on the screen being to thin that it bends and it being to weak.

 

Thank you,

A.j.

For pure raw power your money is better spent on a desktop but since you want a gaming laptop I would go with the aorus x5.

You said you're using this for school and then home gaming. Will you absolutely need to game or have a lot of power on the go? I have a fairly weak MacBook Air that I use at college and a gaming rig at home that works wonderfully for me, because the MacBook is used for web browsing and schoolwork only.

 

If you don't need the power on the go you're better off building a gaming rig and then buying a cheaper notebook for school work. If all you're going to be doing regarding school is taking notes and writing up MS Office projects you're better off going that route, IMO.

I will actually be building up a rig but not now, and yes I'm looking for gaming on the go.

I'd also vote for X5. quite a huge performance gap between the two....

besides, how are you gonna fit all that games into the tiny storage from Razer Blade 14?

Great point, but currently i have around 226 gb of games on my laptop. Going for the 512 gb version for sure, Thank you.

Check this machine out. This is based on the Clevo P650SG and has features like a 980M, 3 cooling fans, a quad-core mobile CPU, 2 M.2 SSD slots with one being a M.2 PCIe 4x slot for SSDs like the Samsung SM951, 2 SATA slots, 4 RAM slots, and comes in about 2.5kg which is just slightly heavier than the Aorus (correct me if I am wrong) and about 28.8mm thick. 

 

I have this machine and I carry it to and fro to school everyday. I love the keyboard of this machine. The only downside is the brushed metal surface.
