I'm in this tricky scenario. I'm in the market for a high end gaming notebook and can't manage to decide between the Razer Blade and the Aorus X7.
I live in Bangalore, India and would prefer a brand which has service centers in India. I am looking at the laptop as a desktop replacement and my main usage consists of gaming, web designing and After Effects. I need it to be thin (No Alienware and Asus G750) and preferably good looking (No MSI Ghost). Also on the list is at least a 5 hour battery life. Though the GTX 870M is likely to outperform the GTX 765M on the Aorus, I am having second thoughts about the Razer since it is a relatively new company and reliability is still a question mark. The main reason reliability is so high up the list is because Razer does not provide service in India, I am getting the laptop from the US and would be forced to send it back, paying the customs. If there isn't a huge difference between the 2 laptops in terms of performance, is it worth taking a risk?
