I'm not trying to **** on Razer - I love Razer - I really do. All of my peripherals are Razer and I'll continue to buy them even now, but the systems, no way.
I tried everything, cooling pad, repaste, undervolt, underclock, dimmed the screen - it still stuttered, overheated and shut down. The cooling issue probably wouldn't have been an issue if the fan curve was more aggressive or adjustable, but the 250w PSU wasn't enough.
I really hope Razer can get it together - I left Asus and Alienware (and spent a lot more money) to step into a Razer laptop and in the end I was let down in a big way.
I know people want thinner and lighter, but I would be just fine with a little bit thicker, a little bit louder fans and a bigger PSU to not have to deal with these issues - I'd even still pay the same price.
Sorry Razer, but having these issues at less than a month and not even offering an extended warranty is a risk that I'm not willing to take with my money.
So I returned it for a full refund and went back to what I know.

Real sorry for your experience but I can't exactly say I'm surprised. Razer's laptops have a very poor 5-year track record of horrible designs, constant problems and piss poor support. Hence why we usually don't recommend them.

For all intents and purposes, the Blade Pro is my dream computer, and if it weren't for the piss-poor QC, I would happily pay the $5k asking price.
It's a shame that you had problems, and even more so that it's not surprising you did.Vasudev likes this. -
