    Is it possible to dual boot with Ubuntu on my Razer Blade 14" (2013)? If so, does anyone have a guide? :D

    Yes, but the touchpad uses proprietary drivers and multitouch won't work under 14.04 last I checked.

    Have you looked into this thread
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/razer/729380-razer-blade-pro-under-linux.html

    Although it is for the razer 17", there is useful information there.
    You may want to try Arch Linux, the documentation is neat and very detailed on how to install under BIOS or UEFI systems.
    One should understand that the SBUI or multitouch features wont work out of the box, because the razer drivers have not been released for Linux.
    I wonder when will Razer understand that gaming on Linux, without Wine, is totally real today.
