I've ONLY ever used the right shift key in my life - for the secondary functions of the numerical keys and this ? symbol - for actually typing out capital letters I've always used and always WILL use CapsLock. For me it's just as fast to press it once, type the capital letter and then press CapsLock again to release as it is for other people to hold left Shift (which my left hand simply can't do, despite trying hard to train it)
Now think about how many more times did you use the up and down keys. I code all the time when I'm not gaming and can't overstate how important arrow keys are for me. Sucks that people want a bigger key they'd never use instead of something this important. Even people who use MS Word or Excel a lot need the arrow keys.
My laptop is doing everything it can to prevent me from looking at new laptops. Playback errors, store pages not loading, and prices not showing up lol.
I truly recommend this laptop. This thing performs as it should and provides a great experience. It doesn’t get loud and even the lowest config provides a great gaming experience. It may have a high price tag but after going through multiple cheap laptops with similarly specked components I can tell you quality is important and can be found in the razor blade 15.

My Razer Blade 15 after 2 years and 2 months of amazing extra care with it just got a battery swelling... pretty common on this brand, so it seems... FFS... and yeah I use Dave to vent too...
What about the 2019 ones? I'm thinking about getting one bit if it had these kind of problems then I'm not wasting money. Any insights world be helpful. :)
Got the 2019 Blade 15 to replace my Blade 14 ( 2017 ) and I’m happy with it Premium portable design and quality Good performance Good battery Nice screen It doesn’t overheat
I'm still running on the same 14 one, but the experience was only great for half a year. After that the noise has been getting on my nerves and two months ago the battery swole up. Yesterday I found out that the mouse buttons do not work anymore. Doesnt matter that Razer products are slim and nice looking if they die in a matter of two years. Highly dissappointed and I would never buy Razer again.
it is i got last year one since they happen to had it in tax free shop... but i don't used it so much since anything break it so much expensive to repair..
You're absolutely right about laptop speaker! I got my Zephyrus G14 and was shocked by the quality of its speakers. Apart from specs, I also look for the quality of sound the speakers produce. I'll buy a Razer once they give it a good set of speakers.
Have you had issues with your G14 though? I've had mine for less than a year and the CPU thermal throttles like crazy, so damn disappointed. Think I'm gonna get this laptop, honestly.
I just found you, but I trust trust you. Thanks. I just got the 2022 15” Razer with the 32GB and 3080ti. I am a older gamer and I am anticipating this laptop to be one of my ultimate purchases. I hope it turns out like I expect from Razer (I have a original mouses’s from their inception).
It has a very clean look, sturdy build that can stand a bit of abuse, good specs with some upgradable components and decent i/o (for a modern laptop at least, extra points for a full-sized SD card slot). If I were looking for a long-time laptop, I would definitely consider a Razer Blade.
Your nerves will also get thin since 4-5 months after you buy this something about it will begin to defect/malfunction on its own. Speaking from experience.
I purchased a 2020 Blade Base model with the RTX 2070 Max-Q last week, they are going for pretty good prices right now since the RTX 30 models are out. I really love the thing, one of the big standouts for me is how easy it is to travel with. I travel for work pretty frequently and it's always been hassle to bring my gaming laptops with me, the size, weight, and the stunningly horrible battery life even in mundane tasks. The Blade is small, light weight, and I can get 4+ hours out of the battery and then when I get to the hotel I can plug in and play AAA titles. Of course, the clean aesthetics are also a big plus for me, it just looks quality. That being said, I do agree with you, it has it's place and it's not for everyone, there are a lot of other good laptops out there.
Agreed. My daughter just got her 2020 Razer advanced model and it is scorching hot! Much hotter than my MacBook Pro i9 laptop. I'm not as familiar with Windows. Is there a software setting she can use to not run as hot?
@@stevengeorges9046 the only thing you can do realy is to download Razer Synapse 3.0 and set, either the performance down or to turn up the fan speed to max. Most extreme thing you can do is to liquid metal it.
those arent really gaming or special, i have the g4, i do a lot of cad and 3d model work, i dont think it is much different, but the keyboard sucks, the screens on those never go very bright (you can not use them outside) , HP laptop motherboards are bad and HP service is the worst, overall i am looking for a gigabyte aero now, seems like the best for me right now
@@rudyb9543 Thank you for the kind review. I just bought G6 paid over 3k but not happy at all. I am a big FAN of HP from the last 10 Years or more I only use the HP Z Series workstations All in the office and at home bcoz of my workload need a lot of video editing and rendering and Animation work. Previously I bought the most expensive laptop ever I spend on HP Zbook 17 with an 8GB Graphics card Quadro 5100M. Paid over 8K with Max Spec. But HP Now getting way behind and now I am looking to move other brands.
NEXT TV yep, i always had hp desktops, then bought My first laptop, Toshiba satelite in 2009 , after that one i bought a zbook g4 for cad work with a cuda card for 2,6k , also not happy with it, horrible screen , speakers and keyboard quality and now im looking for gigabyte or a razer with egpu . Gf has asus, also not happy with it. Its a hard world for laptop power Users
@@rudyb9543 agreed. In professional market very less margen. Apple is good but very limited and expensive if need upgrade. HP still offering 128GB RAM user upgradeable. And nVME and any other parts can be replaceable. Apple is one shot. Live or die.
@@nexttvc i feel like if you want to edit vidoes or music especially you have to get an apple , and its worth it, they also have a longer life for that use. but for 3d rendering and cad work and the software around it, i can not use an apple or it would not be worth it for my use.so i have to look for brands that are a good middleground, but i had bad experiences with toshiba, dell , hp, msi , so now i have to search for better computers, i dont like to upgrade myself, i want an acceptable product out of the box
I wonder how many people like me watch it just like that and can't afford it but companies think millions of our buyers are taking their decisions by Dave's reviews. Truth is if I had the money I would just buy it without caring about the review.
Got a used razor base model today at Best Buy for 1,400 something and I’m so pleased with it!!! It only has the tiniest scratch so it was definitely worth the hundred or so dollars I saved when overtime computers don’t stay pristine anyways!! My bf got the advanced model also used with another small ass scratch that took down the price! There were only these two available in the entire store, for razor laptops so I think we got super lucky today 🤍 it’s like there was meant to be two just for us waiting!!!! We didn’t want to order our gaming laptop online because we impatient lol and also we have crazy neighbors who have sadly fucked with our packages in the past Thank you for this review now I feel like I made a good solid decision for the money I spent! I’m a girl who doesn’t know the tech side of stuff much, but I love playing the sims with all expansions lol and that’s mainly why I need a laptop like this aha and I do dabble in other games too!!
It's not! I'm really happy that I got the 2019 in promotion few months ago! I wouldn't have bought the new one.... Way more expensive (25%) for 15% upper spec on the advanced only lol. What a joke.
@@OhWanya I want the RTX SUPER line (I know it's Max-Q, but my work will benefit from it). I want those fixed arrow keys. But I'm looking at the 17" with QHD 120hz as it has better color accuracy than the OLED panel version from the 15"
honestly, you can get a really good looking laptop with a greater spec for the price Razer is aiming. like msi gs66. for 1800$ you can get a 240 Hz with rtx2070 max q.
Best Buy had an amazing sale a month ago on the 2019 Advanced model, so I picked up the Mercury White one for my birthday for about $700 off. Loving it!👌😎
@@MrShroombot I got the 240 Hz 1080p. Color accuracy is great, very smooth. Cant find a game that the 2070 maxq can actually max out the frame rates on yet lol...
@@omarhassan4056 not a single issue, I believe those days where Razer had a ton of issues are in the past. Been smashing it with games too and virtualization, only recommendation I have so far is, if you ever going to game buy a separate keyboard and mouse, it gets very hot and you will hurt your hands. 👍🏻
Greetings from my 2011 razer blade 1st gen. It has survived a high speed motorcycle crash, getting through my engineering degree, long gaming hours, and band practice/recording sessions. Sure it was expensive, but it still runs great and pretty fast ten years later, other than the battery and outdated graphics card. Razer has amazing build quality, just got my 2020 performs really well and an even better/stronger build
@@vsqs-gtawindowsanddoorsrep672 hes just using his money wisely, youre prolly broke cuz you buy expensive shit while theres cheeper stuff with the same specs.
Hey guys I have a question regarding the vapor chamber on the advanced model. I noticed at 1:56 that the advanced model no longer has the orange copper vapor chamber for 2020? Did they paint it black or put a film over it? I just found it odd compared to a 2019 model with the bottom cover unscrewed.
Hey Dave thanks for the review. I recently ordered the 2020 advanced with the2080 s maxq I'm always hearing about razers price and was very confused as to why. In my research to buy a new laptop I looked at several same or similarly spec devices and heres what I found Msi gs66 2999.99 Aorus 15g 2999.99 Alienware 3959.99 Asus zephyrus s15 2999.99 My razer was 2999.99 Exact same prices across the board excluding Alienware. So why is the perception so off. Is it marketing or are people not comparing same specs or looking at lower tear devices? Just seems odd that everyone says razer is priced higher.
Towards the high-end, their prices do start to match their competition, but for the “lower-end” you can get better performance for less. Razer doesn’t seem to want to compromise on their premium features, but they come with a price premium as well. At the end of the day, it depends on how much you value those features
You are not comparing the lower tear models... no one is going to buy a 2080 right off the back .. razer 1660ti price is way to high msi & asus prices are much lower you can get a 2060 for 1500 where as razer you spending a whopping 2000-2500 .
@@Jin17104 I did. This was my first laptop purchase since the 90's. I get that not everyone has 3k to drop. All I was saying is the advanced seems to be in-line with the other higher end products. As well as the 17 the base may be a different story. I didn't shop it
Just got one a week ago! I've been looking to get a razer for about a year and following dave for a bit longer than that. Dave is absolutely right that it depends on each person's situation and needs. I already had a 144hz 2k 27in monitor for high fps games (overwatch etc). So my top 3 must have list came down to performance, mercury white and room for storage. I went with the base 2020 mercury white oled (the screen is stunning & bright). With performance I think the 2070max-q is still really good. I can 4k game on my screen and immerse myself in how good Los Santos looks in GTA 5 (on very high with some extra field of view and shadows turned on) and get a smooth 60fps (4k). With my razer 2020 base oled hooked up to my 144hz monitor I get over 144fps on high tweaked or medium in Overwatch, it feels really smooth. Dave is right with his previous videos about fast fps games, you aren't stopping to appreciate the lighting and shadow effects of a tree. You may in games like GTA V, RDR2 and others. Regarding storage, I got a second 2tb drive so I can actually have room for all the games, having that second slot was really important to me because of this. The fit and finish is great (my first razer and it was a bit of a woaaah in person) and I don't think I'll ever tire of how it looks and feels. To be fair because it is an OLED it does drain the battery life quicker and that's fine for a few hours of unplugged mixed use but I planned on plugging in for games anyways. I did also purchase the best buy 3 year warranty. Thank you Dave, your reviews have helped me explore the world of gaming laptops better.
Dave - what is your assessment of the actual Razer Blade hardware quality? I am one of the army of Razer Blade 15 Advanced 2018 customers who had the notorious camera hardware failure. A great quality company provides great support as well. What i learned is that, not only is there a design flaw in this model, but they also don't stand behind it and divert customers to software "fixes" that don't work or a $100 RMA fee to diagnose the (knkown) problem. This really needs to showcase more in reviews. Tells the true character of the company when products fail.
I'm writing this comment from RTX2080 OLED 4K touch 2019 model. I own a startup company that does GPU-based technology for sound makers. Well, what I can say, this is a kick-ass stuff. I love that it looks similar to the god damned MacBook Pro (which has poor GPU computing support) but it's just limitless more powerful. I do gaming from-time-to-time but I don't need 98253769857Hz refresh rate. More of that, you guys also don't need 300 Hz of refresh rate because playing over the Internet will not grant you 1/300 ~= 0.33 msec of ping latency, forget about that. So don't get fooled with these marketing catchy words about refresh rate - you will never receive any data with such tiny latency (same, you need to process this before seeing this on your screen, etc), simply, it's computer science. I advise anyone to purchase OLED instead. There are two interesting points in the 2020 model: a novel CPU with 9xx iGPU embedded and the RTX-S version. Other stuff is the same.
How's the OLED with image retention, and in daily use in general? There is so few I formation on them but it seems they work finde for office stuff too?
i haven't seen a video about the alienware m15 r3 and m17 r3, have you heard anything from dell? i am planing to buy one but i always like to see a product review before purchase, thanks in advance
Don't buy Alienware, I had 2 and the quality just doesn't last. Both died after shorting out....both are different models. M17 & M18R2. Spent insane money all to be sitting bricks now. Get a laptop that has GOOD cooling, I'm now using an Asus GL753...so far the cooling and quality has lasted longer than the Alienwares. Again I will emphasize cooling design & the ability to stay cool after underclocking/undervolting....
@@legendp2011 the main reason im getting an alienware is the durability and the non intrusive look and performance, remember i need to bring it to lectures

My Razer Blade 15 after 2 years and 2 months of amazing extra care with it just got a battery swelling... pretty common on this brand, so it seems... FFS... and yeah I use Dave to vent too...
Mine also got bloated. SMFH Razer need a reality check.
Mine too
got the same problem... oh well, 1st and last razer for me. For this prize tag, battery swelling should not be this common...
Mine swelled after 1 year, sent it in to get the battery replaced. 1 Year after that, it's swelling again, planning to just build a pc instead :v
What about the 2019 ones? I'm thinking about getting one bit if it had these kind of problems then I'm not wasting money. Any insights world be helpful. :)
Four years later, my laptop is still running smoothly. I upgraded the SSD, RAM, and Battery.
*I can just imagine Dave has a room stacked with laptops that were sent to him*
and i want to go there and pick one out to keep

Got the 2019 Blade 15 to replace my Blade 14 ( 2017 ) and I’m happy with it
Premium portable design and quality
Good performance
Good battery
Nice screen
It doesn’t overheat
I got the 14 too but will wait for rtx 3000
I'm still running on the same 14 one, but the experience was only great for half a year. After that the noise has been getting on my nerves and two months ago the battery swole up. Yesterday I found out that the mouse buttons do not work anymore.
Doesnt matter that Razer products are slim and nice looking if they die in a matter of two years.
Highly dissappointed and I would never buy Razer again.

You're absolutely right about laptop speaker! I got my Zephyrus G14 and was shocked by the quality of its speakers. Apart from specs, I also look for the quality of sound the speakers produce. I'll buy a Razer once they give it a good set of speakers.
Have you had issues with your G14 though? I've had mine for less than a year and the CPU thermal throttles like crazy, so damn disappointed. Think I'm gonna get this laptop, honestly.
@@garrett3108 The only issue I have is that after extensive use, the fan noise is a little loud. Even on silent. Apart from that, I can't fault it.
Dave just casually flexing and stacking up these expensive laptop @2:20. :D
Dave you need to review all the new Ryzen laptops like the new Omen.
I just found you, but I trust trust you. Thanks. I just got the 2022 15” Razer with the 32GB and 3080ti. I am a older gamer and I am anticipating this laptop to be one of my ultimate purchases. I hope it turns out like I expect from Razer (I have a original mouses’s from their inception).
How's it going a year later?
It has a very clean look, sturdy build that can stand a bit of abuse, good specs with some upgradable components and decent i/o (for a modern laptop at least, extra points for a full-sized SD card slot).
If I were looking for a long-time laptop, I would definitely consider a Razer Blade.
i love watching reviews on things that i cant afford :)
Hello Dave, will you make a video on the 2020 HP OMEN 15?
And will you also tell us what are those laptops that might replace your Razer Blade?

Just bought the 2020 base model and I love it!
I purchased a 2020 Blade Base model with the RTX 2070 Max-Q last week, they are going for pretty good prices right now since the RTX 30 models are out. I really love the thing, one of the big standouts for me is how easy it is to travel with. I travel for work pretty frequently and it's always been hassle to bring my gaming laptops with me, the size, weight, and the stunningly horrible battery life even in mundane tasks. The Blade is small, light weight, and I can get 4+ hours out of the battery and then when I get to the hotel I can plug in and play AAA titles. Of course, the clean aesthetics are also a big plus for me, it just looks quality. That being said, I do agree with you, it has it's place and it's not for everyone, there are a lot of other good laptops out there.
Is it the oled model?
@@Jesse-lr8tr No, I opted for the 1080p 144Hz model for the smooth gaming experience.
with all the razer blades that i have had, they were all cooking inside, like crazy high temps that i think is inaccepable.
Yep....awful...
Agreed. My daughter just got her 2020 Razer advanced model and it is scorching hot! Much hotter than my MacBook Pro i9 laptop. I'm not as familiar with Windows. Is there a software setting she can use to not run as hot?
@@stevengeorges9046 the only thing you can do realy is to download Razer Synapse 3.0 and set, either the performance down or to turn up the fan speed to max. Most extreme thing you can do is to liquid metal it.

Can you Review HP Zbook 15 G6 Laptop?
those arent really gaming or special, i have the g4, i do a lot of cad and 3d model work, i dont think it is much different, but the keyboard sucks, the screens on those never go very bright (you can not use them outside) , HP laptop motherboards are bad and HP service is the worst, overall i am looking for a gigabyte aero now, seems like the best for me right now
@@rudyb9543 Thank you for the kind review. I just bought G6 paid over 3k but not happy at all. I am a big FAN of HP from the last 10 Years or more I only use the HP Z Series workstations All in the office and at home bcoz of my workload need a lot of video editing and rendering and Animation work. Previously I bought the most expensive laptop ever I spend on HP Zbook 17 with an 8GB Graphics card Quadro 5100M. Paid over 8K with Max Spec. But HP Now getting way behind and now I am looking to move other brands.
NEXT TV yep, i always had hp desktops, then bought My first laptop, Toshiba satelite in 2009 , after that one i bought a zbook g4 for cad work with a cuda card for 2,6k , also not happy with it, horrible screen , speakers and keyboard quality and now im looking for gigabyte or a razer with egpu . Gf has asus, also not happy with it. Its a hard world for laptop power Users
@@rudyb9543 agreed. In professional market very less margen. Apple is good but very limited and expensive if need upgrade. HP still offering 128GB RAM user upgradeable. And nVME and any other parts can be replaceable. Apple is one shot. Live or die.
@@nexttvc i feel like if you want to edit vidoes or music especially you have to get an apple , and its worth it, they also have a longer life for that use. but for 3d rendering and cad work and the software around it, i can not use an apple or it would not be worth it for my use.so i have to look for brands that are a good middleground, but i had bad experiences with toshiba, dell , hp, msi , so now i have to search for better computers, i dont like to upgrade myself, i want an acceptable product out of the box
I wonder how many people like me watch it just like that and can't afford it but companies think millions of our buyers are taking their decisions by Dave's reviews. Truth is if I had the money I would just buy it without caring about the review.
Got a used razor base model today at Best Buy for 1,400 something and I’m so pleased with it!!! It only has the tiniest scratch so it was definitely worth the hundred or so dollars I saved when overtime computers don’t stay pristine anyways!! My bf got the advanced model also used with another small ass scratch that took down the price! There were only these two available in the entire store, for razor laptops so I think we got super lucky today 🤍 it’s like there was meant to be two just for us waiting!!!! We didn’t want to order our gaming laptop online because we impatient lol and also we have crazy neighbors who have sadly fucked with our packages in the past
Thank you for this review now I feel like I made a good solid decision for the money I spent! I’m a girl who doesn’t know the tech side of stuff much, but I love playing the sims with all expansions lol and that’s mainly why I need a laptop like this aha and I do dabble in other games too!!
Have you tried it on warzone? If so how well does it perform? Am thinking of buying this for Uni and some gaming on the side
Would love a 2k oled with 120hz refresh. Perfect 👌
When you're watching this on a Razer Blade and somehow feel you're laptop is so inferior now to the new one....
It's not! I'm really happy that I got the 2019 in promotion few months ago! I wouldn't have bought the new one.... Way more expensive (25%) for 15% upper spec on the advanced only lol. What a joke.

Greetings from my 2011 razer blade 1st gen. It has survived a high speed motorcycle crash, getting through my engineering degree, long gaming hours, and band practice/recording sessions. Sure it was expensive, but it still runs great and pretty fast ten years later, other than the battery and outdated graphics card.

This comment needs to be higher up
In mathew moniz's review he mentions that the advanced model is locked via the bios at 80c and it in a way reduces performance.
Yes it's true but with that vapour chamber it manages to perform almost as much and even better (than its competitors)
with maintaining that temps
Hey guys I have a question regarding the vapor chamber on the advanced model. I noticed at 1:56 that the advanced model no longer has the orange copper vapor chamber for 2020? Did they paint it black or put a film over it? I just found it odd compared to a 2019 model with the bottom cover unscrewed.

Hey Dave thanks for the review. I recently ordered the 2020 advanced with the2080 s maxq
I'm always hearing about razers price and was very confused as to why. In my research to buy a new laptop I looked at several same or similarly spec devices and heres what I found
Msi gs66 2999.99
Aorus 15g 2999.99
Alienware 3959.99
Asus zephyrus s15 2999.99
My razer was 2999.99
Exact same prices across the board excluding Alienware. So why is the perception so off. Is it marketing or are people not comparing same specs or looking at lower tear devices? Just seems odd that everyone says razer is priced higher.
I thought so too, I guess the specs aren't quite matching up? *shrugs*
Towards the high-end, their prices do start to match their competition, but for the “lower-end” you can get better performance for less.
Razer doesn’t seem to want to compromise on their premium features, but they come with a price premium as well. At the end of the day, it depends on how much you value those features
@@AndreiTache this makes sense, thanks
You are not comparing the lower tear models... no one is going to buy a 2080 right off the back .. razer 1660ti price is way to high msi & asus prices are much lower you can get a 2060 for 1500 where as razer you spending a whopping 2000-2500 .
@@Jin17104 I did. This was my first laptop purchase since the 90's. I get that not everyone has 3k to drop. All I was saying is the advanced seems to be in-line with the other higher end products. As well as the 17 the base may be a different story. I didn't shop it
My dad bought the razer for my birthday. i bought everything else (headphones, mic, etc) and im super suoer excited
Thats so sweet: Hope ure enjoying it!
Just got one a week ago! I've been looking to get a razer for about a year and following dave for a bit longer than that. Dave is absolutely right that it depends on each person's situation and needs. I already had a 144hz 2k 27in monitor for high fps games (overwatch etc). So my top 3 must have list came down to performance, mercury white and room for storage. I went with the base 2020 mercury white oled (the screen is stunning & bright). With performance I think the 2070max-q is still really good. I can 4k game on my screen and immerse myself in how good Los Santos looks in GTA 5 (on very high with some extra field of view and shadows turned on) and get a smooth 60fps (4k). With my razer 2020 base oled hooked up to my 144hz monitor I get over 144fps on high tweaked or medium in Overwatch, it feels really smooth. Dave is right with his previous videos about fast fps games, you aren't stopping to appreciate the lighting and shadow effects of a tree. You may in games like GTA V, RDR2 and others. Regarding storage, I got a second 2tb drive so I can actually have room for all the games, having that second slot was really important to me because of this. The fit and finish is great (my first razer and it was a bit of a woaaah in person) and I don't think I'll ever tire of how it looks and feels. To be fair because it is an OLED it does drain the battery life quicker and that's fine for a few hours of unplugged mixed use but I planned on plugging in for games anyways. I did also purchase the best buy 3 year warranty. Thank you Dave, your reviews have helped me explore the world of gaming laptops better.
5:50: both your mouse and desk surface are begging you to increase your mouse sensitivity.
Dave - what is your assessment of the actual Razer Blade hardware quality? I am one of the army of Razer Blade 15 Advanced 2018 customers who had the notorious camera hardware failure. A great quality company provides great support as well. What i learned is that, not only is there a design flaw in this model, but they also don't stand behind it and divert customers to software "fixes" that don't work or a $100 RMA fee to diagnose the (knkown) problem. This really needs to showcase more in reviews. Tells the true character of the company when products fail.
I'm writing this comment from RTX2080 OLED 4K touch 2019 model.
I own a startup company that does GPU-based technology for sound makers.
Well, what I can say, this is a kick-ass stuff. I love that it looks similar to the god damned MacBook Pro (which has poor GPU computing support) but it's just limitless more powerful.
I do gaming from-time-to-time but I don't need 98253769857Hz refresh rate.
More of that, you guys also don't need 300 Hz of refresh rate because playing over the Internet will not grant you 1/300 ~= 0.33 msec of ping latency, forget about that. So don't get fooled with these marketing catchy words about refresh rate - you will never receive any data with such tiny latency (same, you need to process this before seeing this on your screen, etc), simply, it's computer science.
I advise anyone to purchase OLED instead.
There are two interesting points in the 2020 model: a novel CPU with 9xx iGPU embedded and the RTX-S version. Other stuff is the same.
I'll watch your career with great interest
How's the OLED with image retention, and in daily use in general? There is so few I formation on them but it seems they work finde for office stuff too?
i haven't seen a video about the alienware m15 r3 and m17 r3, have you heard anything from dell? i am planing to buy one but i always like to see a product review before purchase, thanks in advance
Don't buy Alienware, I had 2 and the quality just doesn't last. Both died after shorting out....both are different models. M17 & M18R2. Spent insane money all to be sitting bricks now. Get a laptop that has GOOD cooling, I'm now using an Asus GL753...so far the cooling and quality has lasted longer than the Alienwares.
