Even the fucking XPS is shit. You have to buy the $2000 i7 configuration to get 16gb of RAM. The razer laptop has literally the same specs as a $2000 XPS for $1200.
Fuck.
Julian Collins
They don't make competitive small laptops. They're fine for gaming laptops or whatever, but for 13 inch light weight long battery life laptops ASUS and Gigabyte aren't even on the playing field.

Also, more importantly, it's really about the battery life. Razer making the best laptop with 6+ hrs of battery life is just stupid.

What are you talking about? Both the UX305 and UX303 (and their successors UX330 and UX310) are excellent 13 inch ultraportables from Asus with superior battery life compared to the stealth. They may not have the eGPU option, but then again they don't have the autistic logo either.
Daniel Edwards
Do large lightweight laptops exist?
Grandma needs a laptop but she struggles with the 8lb+ 17.3" monstrosity she's currently using because her eyesight's not great and she wants a big screen.
Benjamin Garcia
Buy her an external screen.
Kayden Morales
As someone who's been considering an XPS, whats wrong with it? anything i should look out for?
Daniel Cooper
I have never been able to find an actual seller for these things outside of the Mi stores in China.
Elijah Johnson
Nothing is wrong with it, except that the specs aren't competitively priced with the Razer. If you want 16gb of RAM you have to buy the i7 XPS, which starts at like $1600, and the 16gb of RAM upgrade+the good screen+a decent sized SSD puts you near $2000.
The razer comes with 16gb of RAM for every model above the base one(so, any one that isn't the $999 one) and already has a better i7 than the XPS is even possible to spec to.
So, for $1200 you get identical specs to a $2000 XPS, except the screen has some goofy bezels vs the XPS with basically no bezels.
IDK about you but I'm not willing to pay $800 to not have bezels on my laptop screen.
If you don't care about having 16gb of RAM the XPS becomes a little more competitive, but if you're ok with 8gb of RAM you still run into the issue that the $999 Razer Stealth blows away any sub-$1500 XPS.
Dell just isn't competitive with the Kaby Lake generation of XPS laptops. Yes, technically they are the best mainstream laptop. They will still probably own business purchases like they did with the Skylake models. But Razer is really fucking them up on competitive pricing for specs. The only place I can see an XPS being a better purchase is if:
You want 8gb of RAM, not 16
You won't notice the difference between the low-end i5 on the XPS vs the i7 on the Razer
You want the infinityedge screen thing
Then a $1000 range XPS(base model w/ screen upgrade) may be better than the $999 Razer. But that's the only case I can imagine.

The zenbooks are great (except the core m one, that one was a mistake) but for the money they're asking the should have better specs.

A bit silly to do that on an ultrabook though.

>It is not acceptable to already be a 6'3, 210 lbs American stop giving a fuck about what others think about you. you bought a ticket for the train, therefore you're entitled to ride the train. what are you gonna do with your life if all you do is worry about some irrelevant fucks' opinion of you?
Aiden Stewart
Is that a metal case or just plastic?
Jackson Richardson
Have you been to Tokyo? I lived there for a few years and the constant vibe of not being welcome is pretty harsh. You learn to blend in as much as possible, and not breaking social norms is an easy way to at least not draw any unneeded negativity(not taking up room on the train is very much part of this)
Gabriel Bennett
It's anodized aluminum. Very nice feel. Sturdier than an XPS, though I'd say some of the other features feel just slightly less "premium".
This. Get it. My employer recently got a few of these and so far I'm loving it.
It's thin (not quite as thin as the macbook air), really light, screen is decent, and it runs a lot cooler than most other laptops I've used. Some older laptops I had would get cook-an-egg hot just playing youtube. This one was able to do that and play a few games and felt only maybe 5-10 degrees warmer. When it's doing simple tasks, like browsing websites, it hardly feels warm at all.
Cameron Myers
>gaming notebooks
Blake Hughes
Not him but Oracle+VS+Chrome+Corporate required antivirus need more than 8 gigs to run smoothly.
>low-end i5 on the XPS vs the i7 on the Razer Not much of a difference between the low voltage processors (7200U and 7500U).
Jayden Wright
All laptops are shit right now >Reasonable price >Great everything >A fucking matte display or is overpriced/overkill/touchscreen
Sure, maybe in your use case scenario, it works, but in mine, a matte display is a detriment/negative. If the starting Dell XPS 15($999.99) was glossy, It'd be fucking perfect. But no one, not a SINGLE company makes a 15 inch glossy screen laptop that isn't touchscreen and is actually nice to look-at.
Justin Edwards
It isn't for gaming. That's why it's so retarded that it's better than the in class competition.
It competes with the XPS 13 and MacBook. It's way better than both for cheaper. If fucking razer is doing better than dell and apple they're really not doing the smart thing.
Owen Taylor
how is it better than XPS 13 do tell t or how is it better than thinkpads and yogas or latitudes? or hp elitebooks?
and where the fuck did you get the "cheaper" part?
David Wilson
why on earth would you want a glossy display on a laptop. Glossy displays are for desktops where you know you'll be able to control the light in the room, so you won't be staring at a reflection of a window in the middle of your screen all the time.
Nathan Cox
Cheaper for same specs as dell.
Show me any of your list that have 8+ hrs battery, a screen above 1080p, under 4 pounds, 7200 or 7500u, 16gb ram, nvme drive, aluminum body, all below $1200. Doesn't exist. Same specs from Dell are $1850.
Owen Adams
MSI's Latest laptops are legit tho... and are not as overpriced as Razer's laptops
Dominic Fisher
xps 13 and thinkpads I ma not fucking looking shit up of your and show me where you get razer with those specs for $1200 you ubber faggot
Justin Green
Razer tanked their prices when they upgraded to Kaby lake and are ultra competitive now.
Gabriel Davis
Razer blade stealth. Second tier qhd model. They regularly have coupons. I got $150 off on mine. Even without its 1200 and change.
Benjamin Ortiz
>they're making gaming laptops with mechanical keyboards now >I'll never be able to get one without the SLI 100W GPUs and massive serving of rice
it's like all there is now are super-thin, ultra-low-power macbook clones, and giant 21" gaymen laptops with LEDs and housefire components. Why can't I get anything in the middle?
Nathaniel Sullivan
nigger link or shut the fuck up quick amazon look up gives lower tier for $1450
Isaac Cox
The regular blade actually rocks this tier too. $2000 for light weight 16gb ram gtx 1060 and a nice quad core i7.
Razer is on point since they dropped their prices and were the first to uptake the new hardware.
Jaxon Thomas
There's a reason no one makes this. They suck. I'd rather look at the content than a reflection of myself lol
Michael Rivera
Razer website. New razer blade stealth.
razerzone.com/store/blade-selector That works on my phone. Not sure if the page translates to desktop. It's the 256gb qhd. $1250 and there are usually coupons available site wide for razer.
Tyler Cruz
Has anyone actually got one of these here?
I've been impressed with Xaoimi gadgets in the past and I am certainly tempted by this.
Juan Lopez
the page blinks for a second, then goes to shop and I cant find notebook offering there
>core m was a mistake actually runs pretty good user. Has god tier battery life even on windows. Got one of those for my folks they are really happy with it.
Luke Lopez
Neat. I just remembered custom charges exist though. So much for that.
Brandon Carter
You're fucking retarded.. For 15" you have the UX501 and if you want smaller you have the ZenBook 3
Gavin Lopez
some user got one of these trhough gearbest, he wasn't that crazy about it. I wouldn't expect for it tu be that great, after all it's some chinkshit. Worst part is that it probably has some malware/backdoors in it on hardware and on top of that Botnet10 in chinknese. Good luck with linux support or avoiding whatever backdoor it has in it's innards.
Nathan Murphy
Yeah also if it breaks down enjoy shipping it to china/singapore/ hong kong for support and waiting for 3-5 weeks.
Ryder Perry
core m is no more
core m buyers are like core duo buyers: early adopters that had to buy laptops, because the dekstop chips don't exist.
it's all about custom conf'd i3/i5/i7 now, same shit, different label, your shit is "legacy" in 2017 kthxbai
Nicholas Wilson
Fair point.
Then what does have Iris Pro graphics and a thunderbolt 3 port for eGPU support?
Jaxon Lee
chillax friendo, as I told yu I got one of those for my folks. It's their current shitposting/web browsing machine. It werks. Also good battery life. Yeah in the long run i3/i5/i7 are better but it wasn't that bad for a cheap low powered cpu, in fact it doesn't have any active cooling and works fine.
Christopher Barnes
nono, you don't understand, I don't say that i3/i5/i7 is better in the long run, I am saying that there is no more m processors. the best m3 at the moment will be the last forever. then you'll get fanless i3/i5/i7 devices that are clocked like the core m cpus from today
enjoy having lost your credibility to your folks because you sold them deprecated shit
Joshua Johnson
>enjoy having lost your credibility to your folks because you sold them deprecated shit what the hell are you talking about nigger? I don't sell shit to my parents, I bought that as a gift. What are you even talking about? Why are you sperging so much about it? Would you feel better if I tell you "I'm dumb, I fell for the m core crap"? Is your life so shitty that you need that? Geez friendo, you actually need to go out or something. As I said before. R E L A X

I don't get it... what's so wrong with the logo? Is this a meme?
Matthew Sullivan
So long as you don't mind waiting longer for shit to load and a mild fps drop for gpu-intensive games, seems a reasonable tradeoff.
Joshua Thomas
eGPU user here The bottleneck is honestly not that bad with Expresscard.
Grayson Baker
you mean PCI-e 2.0 x1, which is 5Gbps And it's more than enough for entry-tier cards like 750ti/950/1050ti, as long as you don't try to play on the internal screen
Brody Morales
>5GB/s
PCIe slots are so undersaturated nowadays it's ridiclous
Lincoln Ross
it looks silly
Austin Smith
5Gbps is actually not enough for AMD cards, you know. nvidia has it's optimus technology with bandwidth compression
Levi Sullivan
looks like some shit a 12 year old came up with. Which makes sense since the whole company is built on shit chink taste. Good thing is they were trying to copy a macbook and buit a black one.
Gabriel Turner
I'm running an R9 Fury non-X through EC just fine.
Parker Baker
What the fuck are you talking about dawg? You can change hdd n ram n shit without voiding warranty you fuckin idiot. Just buy the lowest tier novel, change out the 32gb meme ssd with a bigger one and reinstall OS on that. Need more ram? Just fucking out some in pal, easy as shit.
