    Hey guys, I'm considering buying the Blade 15, but I'm concerned with issues regarding thermals and overall quality.
    Also, I was thinking of purchasing from HIDevolution, but the deal breaker was that their price was way over the retail price.
    Instead, I'm thinking of purchasing from Microsoft w/ their 10% student discount.
    (It's a shame because I really liked HID's customization options)
    If anyone has any better alternatives to recommend me, I'm open.

    Where do you come from?
    Shipping Fee can be expensive sometimes.

    Have you checked with Ken@Gentech? The price may be cheaper compared to competitors with their current spring sale.

    I live in California.

    I don't think Gentech has Razer products?

    I'm posting here since it is a related topic.
    In case I buy a Razer Blade from Amazon UK, which customer service do I need to contact in case of problems since I live in Switzerland?

    If you live in Southern California you can get the 1060 version at any Best Buy store (Where i got mine) and if you want the 1070 the Microsoft store has it and they have it in stock in San Diego.

    I'm in Cali too. If you're getting the blade definitely get it from Microsoft store for 10% back or Amazon for 5% with their card. Hell even Razer with their 5% back if you live here. Their headquarters are here.
