I wonder if anyone else will make a unibody aluminum gaming notebook like Razer. I really love the design, but razer's prices are crazy expensive. Except for the newest mackbook air like model. Can't believe it started at $999
That's what the MacBook Air starts at and the Razer has a better screen. You can't have a fancy aluminum body, thin system, performance and a low price.
yeah expected it to be $1299 coming for razer.. these are the people who charge $200 for a mini bluetooth speaker.
I now see they reduced the price of the 15" by $400 last week., but it was $2500 for 256GB storage.
And on black friday, they didn't even have a 1% discount on any of their products, they just offered a free sweat band and t-shirt with orders over $150
I just want MSI or Asus to make a unibody gaming notebook..
@WoldwithoutMadness The aluminum is great at dissipating heat.. thermodynamics man.. plastic, not so much.
I don't care how thin or how heavy it is. $1000 for what's basically an Macbook Air is actually a really good price. I think he was saying he was surprised it was ONLY $999. But their 15" gaming laptop is hugely overpriced for what it is.
I can get a much better value from MSI or Gigabyte.
Because up until now, it is not really the efficient design in thermal dissipation but you can see the trend is changing because thunderbolt 3 (external graphic dock) is coming. It is not really the most elegant solution but if you prefer good looking design then you have to make some sacrifice.
For example like the newest razer blade stealth although the processor might be a bottleneck in near future.
Well, Tobii certainly has that whole HAL-9000 look going for it. In any case, no thanks on gazing long into the computer abyss only to have the computer abyss gaze into me. :)
That GT80 is really part of this marketing madness without consideration for user experience that we see these days. This is probably the only laptop that could play most AAA games in 4k at 60fps+ and has a full hd display... What's the point? Spending that outrageous amount of money and bearing record breaking noise to play on an external monitor? Similar story with the EVGA laptop, that has a 4k screen, which with a 980m is mostly good to drain the battery, since 980m is definitely not a 4k GPU....

So Xeon in spec and no ECC RAM? What the waste of functionality...digiguy - Saturday, January 16, 2016 - link

Real helpful article, I recently bought one for my son from http://bestreviewz. org/best-gaming-laptop/, where I found best quality gaming laptops.
