I need help, I was planning on saving up for a gaming laptop (since I am more mobile with my things) and wanted an opinion as to what I should buy. I thought of saving up for the new Razer Blade 2016 laptop since I heard its very good for gaming. Would this be a good purchase or is there a better suggestion? Also, with the laptop should I get a monitor? if yes, which would be recommended and if not then okay. Thank you very much...

What idiot said that it was good? I would like to have a talk with him.

It is utter shit, sounds like a hair dryer when you game on it, the build quality is shit, they use good quality materials, but put them together so badly that a 4 year old can do it better. They have no quality control at all. All of this should be enough for anyone to stay away from them, but I am not done yet, their support is a joke and should be fired and guess what it has thermal throttling, by now anyone should be ready to throw them out. Am I done yet? Nope, they keyboard feels like something that should be on a 500-600$ laptop. Okay I think that I am done now.

 

I would recommend a Clevo rebranded laptop

Did they change the keyboard? I think the keyboard is okay to be honest. Feels like the apple ones. Someone should try cooking someone on the backside of the blade. Actually a video I want to see.

well it is not the same quality as apples and it cannot keep up with Lenovo's keyboard. It feels like they cut a corner to save some money.
