Alternative to Razer Blade 14??

[SamSmith123]

Hey guys,

 

Im looking to get a Razer blade 14, seems like the ideal laptop that i want to go for but i was just wondering if there are some possible alternatives to it?

i was looking to get the latest but a refurshed manufactor one as i get £100/$100 off so i though thats better value.

 

The price of the current is my rough budget, and i also want it in a clean small package with good build quality. 

 

Other must haves:

- about a GTX 1060 

- not too much of a gamer look. (im just not a big fan)

- 16GB ram

- dont care if its i5 or i7 just want it to be quad core.

- reasonably good battery life (i know it wont be amazing)

 

if you guys could just drop some suggestions then that would be cool and i'll take a look at them.

Gigabyte Aero 14 and MSI GS series come to mind

 

Why Razer? customer support is meh and laptops run hot.

ill have a look at the gigabyte 14 but i feel the form factor and aesthetic of the msi just isn't good enough

 

i just feel razer have the cleanest look and im not bothered about heat/acoustics too much ill happily trade those off for size. although customer support is a biggy.

that's the wrong approach to take with Razer. the heat is what kills the components, which in turns leaves you dealing with customer support.

 

the Aero 15 is the same footprint as the 14, just with a bigger screen and is probably the least gamer looking laptop in this size with that hardware

Gigabyte Aero 14/15

Or MSI GS VR, Clevo P950 (mediocre battery life)

 

Avoid Razer laptops, quality issues
