    Just got the new razer blade stealth kaby lake. I have heard customer service issues with razer what are the the things that I need to check to make sure the laptop is fine.
    Like coil whine /heat / wobbly rubber feet / charger issues. I have read to much into this and I am a little worried that I need to figure everything in 15 days. Before the return period expires.

    What's the return policy for Razer? Do they charge a restocking fee for the laptop? Do you have to pay for shipping out of pocket or they send a prepaid label for you?

    About the last models with Kaby Lake, there are negative feedbacks on Amazon about un-satisfied users... I don't really, I will await to see what Apple is working on then or this or Alienware.

    If I return then I pay return shipping and restocking. And the time frame is 15 days.

    **** Updated **** checked out the reviews at amazon. Some people seem to have extended bad luck runs and some reviewed free products. Few who had this thing for sometime looked ok do note the reviews are for the older generation skylake model.
    I will bite the bullet and use this heavily for next 10 days to conclude.



    Alienware is to bulky for me and I really don't like Mac OS. I did get the xps before this and that ran too hot. So far I don't see any issues barring the fact that it runs a bit loud. Heading to amazon to check reviews.

    Goddamn that sucks.

    Guess it's another company I'll never buy from.

    All that said and done my New RBS seems pretty solid I have been running prime95 for over 12 hours and it's still going fine. I will end my test now. I am at this time focusing on the screen hinge and any other visual detectable defects.

    Yes, but I buy laptops to test and return, not to keep.

    Ha ha I see the sarcasm ... you shouldn't have to do that when you pay upwards $1400.00. However my situation dictates that I get this and do additional QA.

    Hey there, guys!

    Does anyone have a calibrated ICC profile for the 4K display on the New Razer Blade Stealth? I don't have any of the fancy schmancy calibrators, and I know some of you do.

    If you do, could you pass it along? Pretty please with cherries on top!

    Hey, can you explain to me exactly what you changed in the registry to change 3-finger left and right swipe to back/forward in explorer and internet browsers? The only option available right now is switch applications, which is absolutely useless to me and makes browsing more frustrating than it should be. No idea why it's not in the built in settings, so stupid.

    I can't remember of the top of my head but I followed along with a web resource. I don't have the laptop anymore so I don't know if it's different now or not.
