Help with trading razer blade

[dogo_]

I have a 2016 Razer Blade and learned that I don't really need that much power and I kind of want something less intense, like a stealth. I obviously don't want to shell out a ton of cash for a whole new laptop but am wondering if there is any way for me to "trade" my current laptop for a stealth. From what I have seen, there aren't that many options for doing so out there and I'm curious to see if you guys have any suggestions. Thank you.

You can certainly try to trade with someone on the used market who already has a Stealth model, otherwise you'd best sell it and buy a Stealth instead.

what would be the advantage of trading it for a stealth?

 

you already spend the money on it and a stealth is at best a total of 700g lighter and you would be giving up a graphics card in return.

Trading isn't what I'd recommend for one reason :

You have no idea what the history of that laptop is.

 

It could have been meddled with or have problems that don't rear their ugly heads when turning it on & testing it for 5-10 minutes when making the deal.

Taking the risk is something you can do, no doubt about that & in the end it is your decision.

But if you are able to sell it for a decent price & buy a new Razer Stealth, personally I would jump on this option.

Thanks, I'll consider doing this instead, I hadn't even thought about the history of the laptop.
