I recently have come in to some extra cash, and I was wondering if the Razer Blade 14 is a good buy for me. 

ME:

-College Student. 

-Need to Bring laptop to school everyday for taking notes, running accounting programs, and Web Browsing.

-Looking for a laptop i can use even after college, something i can bring into work.

-Light Gaming; Leauge of Legends, Minecraft, MMOs here and there, gta 5 when it comes out.

-I do not have a desktop pc.

-I care about the looks to an extent. 

-Dont like apples.

-I want to be able to use it for atleast 5 years 

-i currently have a Vaio F series laptop. 17". hurts my shoulders from carrying it around for 9hrs a day.

-OPEN TO ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS

Is the Razer Blade 14 right for me? if not what is?

Well, if you are doing light gaming, I would settle for some of the Laptops with the APU's

the msi ge40 has the same specs for $600 less. The APU's are a bit heavy for college. Personally I'm thinking about getting a light ultrabook like the samsung series 9 and just using my desktop for gaming.

I carry a G74sx biking to school regularly, in AZ. I will admit sometimes a 10lb laptop can get heavy. I would just buy this http://www.sagernotebook.com/index.php?page=product_info&model_name=NP7330

make sure to select an ssd

I think its the same gpu as the blade

you can get an ips monitor, a mechanical keyboard, gaming mouse, and nice headphone+mic setup too

All for less than the blade!

thanks for showing me, im looking at reviews of the laptop right now.

your right, i can probably get an ultra book around $700, then probably build a desktop for $1000. all for cheaper than the blade. my only concern with that is that i would probably need to upgrade it in 3 years to keep up with everything.

I have a Sager 9150 and I love it! Perfect for gaming and school I recommend it 100%

12

sager is great, my friend has the 11inch one with the gt650m I think

13

How is the sager looking vs the blade?

14

Sagers got me thinking about getting one of them. The 780m looks tempting but the only thing holding me back is the look. They look kinda old fashioned compared to todays laptop/ultrabook, specially compared to the Razer. Im still doing a little more research.

15

The np7330 looks the coolest imo, especially with the silver

16

The Sager 9150 is perfect in my books.

 It has a I7 3630QM @ 2.40GHz and a Geforce GTX 675m +120gb SSD and other stuffs

If you are interested, I can do a little review on it and benchmark some games.  Just give me a list of games that you want to see and if I have them, I'll do them!

The sager np7330 has the same specs, and has a 1080p aas screen(like ips) razer kinda lied when they said they only has 900p ips screens and that the 1080p ips small screens had 30m that is a quote from the ceo on facebook

30ms

the thing with the blade is that it has an ok gpu, but packs it in a small case. If i were to get a sager, i would probably go for a better gpu because there would be no point for me to stick with the gtx765m since im basically choosing performance over looks.

I tried looking for it on the sager website, but i think they dont sell that anymore, i found some on ebay though. I wouldn't want to trouble you with benchmarks, i found a bunch on youtube and online. I would be more interested on the problems you have had with sagers, if any. Things like, maybe over heating, faulty keys, hinges becoming loose, and maybe a drop test? Lol jk on the drop test. do you think it would last more that 7years?
