    For those of you who bought a razer blade 2015, which version did you get and why? I'm leaning towards the QHD as it has 16GB RAM whereas the FHD only has the 8GB. Plus, the QHD comes in 512GB storage, something that I'm partial to because I'll be storing music and photos on my next laptop in addition to games (LoL and BF4). I have heard that the QHD has scaling issues but also that it's not a big deal. Any advice?

    QHD. Scaling issues are minimal to inexistent to me as most apps have been updated. You might also have to change your desktop resolution before launching some games but that takes five seconds. The QHD screen is much sharper and is better in just about every way. Keep it mind that you might not like the glossiness of the screen but I have found it to be bright enough even for outdoor use on a sunny day. Some people have also complained about the screen having bad color distortion at some angles but I find that it's a problem that happens at unrealistic angles. FHD also has its benefits as you do not have to deal with scaling at all and the screen is matte which is ideal for outdoor use.

    Thanks for the advice, good to hear that the scaling issues are not a deal-breaker. This laptop seems too good to be true, hopefully I get mine quickly when I order it today.
