Work and play in the office or on the road with this Razer Blade gaming laptop. This notebook has an advanced 14-inch UHD-capable display and a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card, which work together to produce a stellar visual experience. Its 2.8GHz quad-core processor and 16GB of RAM make this Razer Blade gaming laptop genuinely powerful desktop replacement.

I purchased this laptop online through bestbuy and had it for about a period of a week before I had to return it.
The laptop itself was great and performed really well and I have no complaints about that but the fans were becoming a problem and an annoyance. I noticed that when I first turned it on and began using it the fans were unusually loud (not horribly loud or anything) and I figured out I could configure them using synapse. So I placed them on low settings and the laptop was perfect then. However after about a week they suddenly started turning on and off constantly even when performing simple tasks like powerpoint, microsoft word or even using the internet. Then they started turning on even when there weren't any tasks being performed. For people using this machine for gaming it isn't much of a problem since many will have headphones but for me this was a big problem. The computer was meant to be a school device first and gaming laptop second so it would be pretty embarrassing when I would sit in a silent classroom and suddenly the fans would just start revving up out of nowhere and for no reason. Even our terrible school-issued computers don't do that.
I did more research and found out that many people were experiencing this issue with the 1060 model and the previous model and razer was looking into it. However, that was over a month ago and it seems nothing is fixed as of yet so unfortunately I just decided to return it. Such a pity though, it was such an awesome laptop and it really sucked to have to return it for something as simple as overactive fans and minor annoyances like that.
But again just to reiterate, the laptop was powerful, fast and great for gaming and had no performance issues whatsoever and the display was superb. its no wonder it was giving mac a run for its money. However, since I was initially using it as a school laptop first and gaming machine second it was just simply too loud to have in a quiet classroom. If these problems are fixed I would definitely buy it again without hesitation.
