TOPIC: What laptop should i get :thinking:

I should be starting College in September (if this whole lockdown thing is over by then), so i'm planning on getting a laptop for then. I want one that's gonna last me a few years as it's an expensive investment.

I've got two in mind so far:

Surface Laptop 3
Razer Blade Stealth 13

I have no idea which one to choose, or even if i should choose one of these. Any recommendations?

Ok vro, thanks for showing interest.

If you're purely going for productivity, the surface laptop ain't a bad choice, especially considering the 256GB storage option is slightly cheaper than the Blade Stealth's price tag.

You do get an 10th i7 with the Blade Stealth though which would do some more heavy lifting than the surface laptop's 10th gen i5 at that same price range. I personally own a surface laptop 3 for working from home and it's an awesome productivity machine so maybe I'm a little biased.

Only problem I have with it is: it uses a proprietary charging system, so if you break or lose the powerbrick you've got to fork out like 100GBP for a new one from Microsoft. Pretty sure you can charge via USB-C on the Blade Stealth so you don't have to shill out extra cash for accessories

cool

Thanks for the response. I think i'm leaning slightly towards the Blade Stealth, purely because of the slightly better performance. I imagine it'll last me longer and thus be a better investment. I've got a while to decide, so my opinion might change.

If you will still have access to your PC, id says to get the surface laptop.
If you are moving away from home and can't use the PC, I would personally buy the razor stealth so I can maintain my epic gamer time

Razor stealth in my opinion a lot of people in my family have used the surface and they always seem to have speed problems and viruses after a couple months. But they are also the type of people to click on the free Minecraft ads. But before I got my pc I was gonna get a razor laptop but they are to expensive for me.

I'd wait until you start college, idk about you but for me, mine provided a laptop if needed, and If I required a better one, they had special deals courtesy of the college.

Surface is just generally great at handling everyday activities, it's like a macbook but not overpriced and way better in specs.
However, the blade is really strong as well, but it is mostly used for average gaming, so up to you.

Alien ware M17, i had one a family member bought in 2010, its obviously an older version of today's m17 but its still perfectly running, however i had to change the fan & charger calbe, because they randomly stopped working.
I still have it today by the way.
