Razer Blade Stealth quality/reliability

[Kevin_201]

How reliable is the Razer Blade Stealth? I read the reviews and they don't look good. Has anyone bought the New Razer Blade Stealth with Kabylake CPU?

It's a good machine and has a solid design but Razer products build quality(in general) aren't very high compared to other brands like ASUS etc.

The new Stealths were suppose to ship out on the 30th so I'd wait a couple days or a week and then look up some reviews. The older model was considered to be pretty well build though.

Thank you all! Agree, I'll wait for some reviews.

I have the New Razer Blade Stealth with the Kaby Lake processor. The build quality seems to be on par with my 2014 MacBook Pro. Fast, cool, and super-sexy. Had it 2 weeks and loving it.

They are good. Still, at that pricepoint I don't think they are the most adequate option. Besides that the 7500U only offers a slightly better performance compared to a 6500U

What do you want it for? Gaming? Web browsing? When it comes to ultrabooks I'd rather pick a DELL XPS o Zenbook, or even a macbook or macbook pro

I like the XPS 13 also, but it's more $$$ than Razer Blade Stealth. Since the XPS 13 with Kaby Lake is out, hopefully they'll discount the Sky Lake model. I've been waiting for Asus UX360UA but don't know if it will land in the US.

My usage is mixed which includes web, programming, some audio/video editing, and I need a light one for travelling.

When it comes to performance, the 6500U and the 7500U are quite similar, specially in CPU performance
