Hey guys, I posted a thread a while ago asking about a good high performance laptop that will last a long time, my budget recently increased so I have a little bit more money to spend.  I'm currently very interested in the new Razer Blade 512gb ssd, and I was just gonna get and external HDD.  I know Linus is fond of this laptop, but how do you guys feel about it?  If you own, or have owned one would you recommend it, and is it reliable and long lasting?

in this day and age i think 16gb is too small especially when you have all that power. Its better to save a couple hundred more and get the 32gb model.

Yeah that looks nice but I'm looking for something a bit thinner

 

If gaming notebooks get even thinner, problems like thermal throttling may occur. This thing I linked has 3 cooling fans btw, so in a rather thin form factor, it stays rather cool.
