Hi all, my son is 11 and a gamer. He does a lot of Roblox (yeah, I know) but also has gaming interests outside of Roblox. He is getting into more robust games. He also likes to record and make YouTube videos of his gaming.
He had a Razer Blade 15 and it crapped out after a year (RMA says motherboard). I had the extended warranty and they are giving me a cash settlement (check) for what I paid for the computer because Razer apparently said they cannot replace the part as it’s not available anymore.
So, did I just have bad luck with the Blade and should I go for another in the Blade series OR go with a different gaming laptop replacement?
I’m researching on my own, but also looking for recommendations from people that have knowledge in this area.
Thank you!
Edit 1: Yes, it should be a laptop. My child likes to switch environments and space is also an issue. Eventually we will consider a desktop, but I am looking for laptop suggestions.
Not at all. My 2020 G14 is still kicking, and from what I've seen in the ROG-linux community, their construction has only gotten better, with even beefier heatsinks crammed in, more shared heatpipes between the sides and liquid metal TIM. Look up their teardowns on notebookcheck; they're crazy.
I dunno about mobo issues. Our Asus laptops had no problems, but I haven't used them for desktop in a long time.
Best to check on individual models before pulling the trigger, of course. I know there was some bad history with the Intel ones specifically.
