OK so I have my mind set on one of Razers Laptops. I am looking at either the Blade 14 2016 or the Blade Stealth. I am leaning more torwards the Blade 14 because it has a dedicated GPU, but the price does not agree. SO should I Get a Blade Stealth due to the almost $1000 price difference and get a Razer Core, or should I go with the Blade 14? I play games, and the Blade 14 would be a pretty good workhorse for High school (Blender projects and LAN Parties.) What should I get if I have the money? Or when does the Blade 2017 come out?

I think plenty of people have told you that the Razer Blades overheat and throttle. It doesn't matter which one you get, lets be honest, its for the looks and not really the functionality.

are you also aware of the shitty support? Or the quality control that is not there, so you might get one that is okay, but you might also get one that is far from okay or that the build quality is a joke, sure they use nice materials, but that does not matter if they put it badly together like they do. It is not uncommon to have USB, screen, jack, keyboard and trackpad problems. Lastly the hotter a laptop runs the shorter its life will get.

Are you? Do you know that the heat also affects the battery negatively?
