I am thinking of buying a razer blade laptop for gaming. Anyone think it's a good choice? I like the it's slime designe and small power brick. I want to know everyones thoughs!
 
It's a great product but it's incredibly overpriced I think, especially for the hardware you get. There's far more touch screen LCDs than you really need on a laptop. If I had that kind of cash I'd be going for a Falcon Northwest TLX.
 
I would like to know if the gtx 765m is good because I don't care if I have a touch screen or no but I want to know more how it will perform on games (I will most of the time disable AA) and I looked at the Falcon Northwest TLX but it's wayyyy too expensive.
 
The laptop GPUs don't perform anywhere near their desktop equivalents. That GPU probably performs somewhere on par with the desktop 560TI.
 


Yeah my Lenovo has a GTX 750M and it gets pretty decent frame rates for 1080p.
 
Talking about Lenovo. I found this laptop; Lenovo Y500 and it had a really good price with a gt 750m. If I ever buy it I would like to upgrade it to a 2xgt750m (SLI). Do you think I should get this instead of the razer blade?
 


If you want to. I didn't get the SLI option on my laptop (I also have a Y500) so I don't really know how it performs.
