    You should make a video detailing the story about those 13 laptops you bought for the staff as a consumer who buy a piece of tech not very often this is what i (and many other i believe ) care about reliability customer service quality of the item in the long term you bought at least 13 laptop all of which had problems the is crazy!!! that is something i think you should bring the the attention of the viewer who is a consumer that does not have money and time to spare and does not want to deal with problems like those. those first few seconds of the video with the chart of the staff's laptops told me everything i needed to know

    Thanks for all the reviews, especially this one on the new Razer Blade 15. I wonder if you could provide an update, particularly since Black Friday and Xmas is just around the corner and people are wondering what to buy and when. There is also something going on at Razer, because I have had an order in for the 1070 4K model since July and I just can't get it (in Canada). They say they are out of stock, but I am beginning to wonder if there is a problem with the screens or something... I can't get any answers and am getting worried. I am sure I am not alone!!!

  • @Deriggs007
    @Deriggs007 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I'm not exactly a Razer fanboy, but I do like the eye candy that Razer offers, so I pretty much have all Razer peripherals and the laptop (1060/512gb version though) - I got a heck of a price on a package deal with them which included the Razer Mamba Wireless, Razer Blackwidow Chroma v2, Man o war wireless, Razer Firefly cloth, headstand (non RGB) all for like half the price they would all usually cost. Instead of close to $600-$700, I paid like $350.
    I'm OCD with brands matching and I don't want to install 15 different pieces of software to manage my setup either... but anyways - the 1060 version has been a bit of mixed feelings for me. Yes, the laptop build is awesome - just as good, if not better than a Macbook pro. However, the speakers are NOT that good. They're pretty meh.
    The screen has more backlight bleed than my Asus PG348Q 3440x1440 21:9 monitor
    The GPU gets hotter than 76c with what Linus was talking about. Try like 86c so then it does throttle slightly I believe. Overall, it still maxes like the only 2 games I play (overwatch and league) so that is rather moot. But for the price that I'm paying, you're still probably better off buying the MSI GS65 Stealth for cheaper and a better GPU. The build quality isn't as nice, but that's literally just about the only draw back to the MSI.

    • @BrawndoQC

      Yeah I just got an MSI 65 Stealth thin because of all the bad reviews of the blade. Too bad because it looks better the MSI and I'm a MacBook Pro user at work but the MSI has been flawless so far. Razer really need to improve their QC.

      ZeShirky mostly it was the bluetooth but that was fixed with windows updates. Then it was knocked off of a table, and I asked them how much it would cost to replace the dented back part of the lid. They just told me to turn the PC on and off again. I was confused as to why they thought this was reasonable, so I submitted a second form and then they just never wrote back after that, so its mostly their lack of support that is sending me back to getting a mobile workstation since I know thinkpads are well supported.
      EDIT: The trackpad also is peeling up at the front now, and I also have a smudge that wont come off of the trackpad.

      Henry Atkinson Ugh that's annoying. The guy I had for support was actually good but there was limitations without me sending it back. It works fine currently though at least. I live in Australia and the blue screen issues happened in summer. I used a temperature app (forgot the name) to prove it had thermal issues but support told me not to trust it??? So yeah.

      Raed Zameer Honestly they all look nice and more similar than differences that I want to know their durability more than anything.
      I don’t do heavy gaming, so with those specs could last me at least 5 years.
      Problems is my MSI died within a year of web browsing and microsoft word (bought it with the intention to game but then had no time). It seems like many people are having problems with the razer blade also, so two computers off the list already due to reliability and durability alone.

    • @Biker_Gremling
      @Biker_Gremling 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The X7 v8 is almost dead also. I waited for it for over two months since announced to get one in Spain. As far as I know, one was given for reviews and two where brought to be sold for the entire country. Missed on those and was told that it was discontinued (at least for Spain). Availability in France hasn't been great also, and I suspect the same for other European countries. At the end I resorted into purchasing the laptop in the UK.
      I really think that there isn't much of a ultra thing gaming market, and it would be best for Gigabyte to scrap the X series of laptops and instead to keep the hardware, build a more professional looking chassis and call it the Aero 17X or something. For me, my X7 v8 is not a gaming laptop that is great for productivity, but rather a potent productivity tool that is awesome for gaming.

    I bought this laptop a little over a month ago. I walked into a Microsoft store knowing I was buying either the old XPS 15 or a surface book 2. I had the old Blade in mind but I was aware of the lack of quality control on that model. I had no idea the 2018 version even existed and when I saw it and the specs and how gosh hecking darn pretty it was... well I made the decision to buy it w/o having done ANY prior research. Very nerve-racking. Thank you Linus for making this video. I think I can finally be at ease with my purchase! Prior to this, I had an Asus N53sm that lasted me a good 8 years. I am hoping to get at least 4-5 out of this if not more. I am a little upset the board won't be able to handle 64gb of RAM but w/e. I'll wait a year or so to make the jump to 32gb just so i can be impressed again.

      Hey Gregg,
      I have a couple of friends with razer blades. (the 2016 6700hq version)
      Now, of course maybe their quality control on the 2018 one is better, but for the 2016 models, all of our razers started to "break down" after a year and a half of use. For me, my battery bloated, for my friends, the blade wouldn't turn on, etc.
      Again, maybe this has changed, but just a heads up.
      Now about Razer's whole repair system
      Its important to note that they only offer 1 year of warranty.
      I have sent my laptop to Razer for repair, and it has taken them a week to analyze the computer and its issues. I am guessing it will take more time to actually fix the computer now. (FYI, a full keyboard replacement costs around 230, screen 230, and the battery around 70, with labor costs of 130.)
      I am not sure if that is a long time to fix a comp, but thats for you to judge.
      Anyways, good luck with your new Razer Blade! It really looks great

    BUT the question is will it break straight after warranty?
    I've had several mice, a keyboard, 2 headsets, and even a controller stop working within 6 months of the warranty expiration using them daily. In my experience, Razer makes these to last just long enough to make it past the warranty sticker so they don't have to replace the item and then they tell you to buy a new one because they are out of warranty.
    To be fair, Razer has accepted 2 of my post-warranty RMA requests, and one of those they accepted because the replacement mouse had the same defect within 2 weeks of receiving it. The second one the headset replacement lasted maybe 6 months. Both RMAs were replaced with brand new items, not refurbished.
    For such premium prices, Razer seems to skimp on quality and cuts corners to make the most profit.
    Maybe I've just had the bad luck of getting only defective hardware from them, I don't know. But I've only ever had one Razer item last over 2 years and that's my OG Blackwidow with the blue backlighting that I'm using right now.

      Because making game accessories isn't a real job! (joking, of course) Anyone making same type of accessories are competitors 'lol', I'm pretty sure each one wants more of the market share in gaming industry.

    im really struggling between which laptop to buy this holiday season. Im considering the razor blade 15 in both basic and premium flavors and the msi gs65. They are all within a similar price range. I am leaning more towards the gs65 but i love the look and feel of the razor 15. I need it more for video editing and graphic design but I love gaming and that is why i want one of these instead of the dell xps 15. any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    My Blade 15 has some issues that I plan on getting fixed, but overall it's been a great laptop - is IS expensive but I use mine for uni and for gaming, and when I have this on battery just taking notes and doing whatever I can easily hit over 8 hrs of battery life

    lmao my laptop runs with an AMD A8 6410, Minecraft fast graphics regularly hitting 4 fps, perfect for all your gaming needs.

      idk how long you've been gaming but AMD definitely is bad compare to what nvidia can make.

    should do a review of the Razor OrbWeaver addition...mouse and keyboard combo pad for gaming on laptops or desktops.

    you gotta invite Louis Rossman again! he had an episode where he examined its engineering and found a lot of sub-par parts like its heat sink. But these were the older Razers,
