I don’t want to get the Acer triton 500 again even though it’s on a steep discount after I played with the mercury white Razer blade 15 in store and I loved the look and feel of it. The keyboard was meh but the large trackpad was amazing and it felt much sturdier than the Acer. If I got the Razer I’d be stepping down from a 2080 max q to a 2070 max q though and I don’t know really how big of a performance hit that’d be.
What are some other thin and light you guys think I should look at?
There’s obviously the Gigabyte Aero 15X (can’t remember if they’re still using that specific branding now) and Alienware options. Depends on how gamery you mind the thing looking?
Compared to the Razer, you’d be sacrificing build quality and the pretty neat cooling, but you’d be getting better hardware.
I recommend checking out this channel to help decide.
Picked up the Razer guys, I get 30 days to return it so let’s see how it does. So far there’s minor back light bleed on the lower right side but no coil whine or anything else. It does get hot under the keyboard though even just web browsing.
Should be able to get at least a -130mV undervolt. Can also limit the current on battery, so it stays cool and quiet (or the opposite, if that’s your thing).
I only recommend Throttlestop because it’s more stable, in my experience. Set it to start on login with Task Schedular, and you can just have it running in the background with no annoying notification icon.
