Will the Razer Blade go the distance? [emoji4]

Hi there, I currently have the Razer Blade 2015 and am incline not to upgrade this year as the new blade does not seem to be a huge improvement over the one I have.

This is the first time I am thinking of keeping my laptop pass the warranty period I am wondering if I might be able to get some feedback on issues that you guys might have experience after the warranty period.

I did have the Razer blade 2013 and the Aorus x3 plus(apparently same manufacturer) and both had problems with the battery(both system also had other issues but this was the only common problem) during the warranty period. So far my 2015 seems to be working really well.

Really would like some feedback on this. Things like possible problems base on what you guys have encountered after warranty period. Or just a thumbs up for Razer blade if there has been no problems encountered after the warranty period. Thanks for the help everyone.

Keeping a Razer Blade past the warranty period may result in abdominal cramps, gout, and stroke.

I have a 2014 Blade Pro that's still going strong, if that helps any. Long term the temps between it and my 2015 Blade are approximately the same long term, 90c +/- a few degrees. I have no doubt that the Blade will last long term.

Unless you can get what enough out of the 2015 to outright pay for the 2016, in which case it couldn't hurt ; )

 

As far as i know they are not made by the same manufacturers. Aorus is made by gigabytw. Razer unknown.

The batteries dying in laptops like these is because of the heat in such small chassis laptops. Comes with the territory.

 

Awesome! For some strange reason i was under the impression that the Razer blade was designed by Razer and made by gigabyte. No wonder there is so much difference in build quailty.

 

Razer laptops are made by Foxconn, using Razer design & specifications.

Gigabyte formerly used Foxconn, but switched away from Foxconn some time back in the early 201x's. Most likely using an Asustek subsidiary for manufacturing, like Pegatron.

As far as "build quality" goes, it all comes down to materials & design specifications, and not actual manufacturer capability. If you spend more money on materials & design (such as Apple laptops), you're going to get more solidly-built products; but will also be more expensive. If you try to skimp on materials & design by using a lot of plastics, and generic rectangular ODM designs, you're going to get products that don't last as long (but will also be cheaper).

 

Just a quick update my blade 14 early 2015 is still working well.
