$1800 dollars for a Razer machine that will not last 4 years is insane. I’m looking at Asus, Dell, Acer, MSi, and Lenovo instead.

[@radeenmostafa6987]

I am confused of choosing between g14 and rb 15.(base). Actually in my country taxes are so high that these two have close price. But i like razer for the premium quality but heard a lot of horror stories on reddit. What do you think?

[@boysenbeary]

Linus’ only weakness is a slightly shorter right shift

Razer is basically the Apple of the PC world. Charge more than most and don’t back your terrible build quality and quality control. At least with Apple you get that elusive “ecosystem”

[@BlacKHellCaT78]

I'm still salty that they "fixed" the shift key. As a software developer the full sized arrow keys are a blessing on my 2019 15inch blade, while the arrow between the dash and the shift key is quite easy to get used to, took a couple of days while my previous laptop had half sized keys and that was just a pain to use :(

[@Dynamo2205]

In Germany the G14 still costs 2000€ (ca. 2250$)

Same here in France, and for that price we get the 4800HS processor.... not even the 4900HS. This laptop only seems to be a good value in the US. Definitely not worth it in europe!

As a Razer owner and former Asus owner I would add that another advantage of the Razer is you can actually game with it on your lap without receiving third degree burns. So while the Asus is great as a desktop replacement that can be moved between desks, the Razer is better for people with a desktop who also want a machine that they can take to a friends and use while sitting on the couch/bed/floor.

Unfortunately Razer still uses thunderbolt for their external GPU setup, so they aren't switching to AMD until they either drop that whole product line or thunderbolt become available on AMD.

[@ryanstark5497]

People complaining about the chin below the lcd miss the obvious ergonomics of the chin. You can be gaming or typing and your fingers don’t block the bottom portion of the screen. All bezels on the other sides aren’t purposeful beyond protection but the bottom chin is actually useful! Additionally it moves the screen up slightly for less nerd-neck leaning down posture.

You're very wrong about the material of the G14. It's magnesium alloy. Just not unibody construction.
