Razer Blade 2018 Refresh?

I want a Razer Blade but I don't know if I should buy one right now, as of March 2018, or wait for a refresh? I know 8th gen processors will be in the refresh but there's no clear release date on the 8th gen HQ processors...

Will there be a huge difference, like a better graphics card or a chassis reform, that would be worth waiting for?

 

Also, do we do we roughly know when the new blade will be released?

Their newest blade was actually better and didn't break as much but the 2016 model(I think) broke way too much.

It's razer. Wait a bit longer and it will.

It just hasn't yet because it's new, all the complains should start coming within a year or two.

what would you recommend? I've considered the razer blade and the upcoming XPS 15 2 in 1. The clevo laptops looked appealing but I also need enough battery life to go through a school day without charging. I play games and I do some light Premiere and After Effects so I need a 1050 or better.  I'm a student so I'd prefer something light and slim.

MBP or XPS.
