Razer Blade PRO 2014 or Razer Blade 2014?

Hi guys. I'm really torn on getting these laptops. The razer blade has an awesome screen, touchscreen, graphics card, and it also comes with free watch dogs for a limited time, but it gets hot and i heard something about flimsy trackpad buttons.

The razer blade pro has a really nice, big screen, the switchblade UI, and a nice graphics card, and a number pad, but doesn't have a touchscreen. Help me decide guys!!😀

Hmmm.... You don't necessarily need a touch-screen, but if it's preferred, I'd weigh the pros and cons of having a touch-screen versus heat issues. The heat issues can be dealt with by buying a laptop cooler, but also there's the difference in screen size.

Another factor to consider is whether or not you want to keep your Razor on the move. The Razor Blade (2014) weighs roughly ~ 4lbs while the Razor Blade Pro weighs 6.5lbs.

Hopefully this helps!

But if you HAD to choose, which laptop would you pick?

Personally, I'd pick the Razor Blade (2014 - 14"). I like portable options and the high-resolution screen seems amazing (though not very practical)!

Also, I'm not a fan of the switch blade UI (not necessary for the games I play). That's just my two cents.
