    Guys I am debating on if I am going to cancel my order for the new 14 inch Razer Blade or not. One of my biggest concerns is after all this waiting, that it is going to suck moving from the beautiful 17 inch display in my current Razer blade laptop to the ty 13 inch display in the new blade. Has anyone on this board made the transition ? Any feedback you can provide ?

    I am making the move because I hate the switch blade UI, I use my machine primarily for work and secondly for gaming so to me the new blade makes more sense.

    What does everyone else think??

    Look at the Sager np7330 if you want to save money. I am currently debating over the Sager or this 14" Razer. I've been reading a lot of forums for the Sager and checking out reviews for the Razer. I still come up with a straight conclusion. I just wished Razer refreshed their 14" laptop with a better display, improve the cooling system and include an sd card reader. If these were in the system I am so down for it. It would have been better if Razer let us customize those laptops (Increased ram especially) and most importantly less cost effective.

    On the other hand the Sager laptop's specs are very satisfying yet after reading the forums some people having problems with the heat management and the fan noise (it was a while back).

    Do check out the Sager. Maybe it's impressive enough for you with a higher resolution screen while still being a portable powerful laptop.

    When it comes to Sager you get what you pay for, I had a P150EM and had nothing but problems.
