What I'd like to know, more than anything else, is this: how comfortable is it to game on this device? I've spent the last several years burning the fingerprint off my left index finger because the W key gets so damn hot on my MSI Stealth 17. This is the second gaming laptop I've had with this problem. An amazing laptop that looks nice with high performance is great, but I'm leaning towards a chunky monkey gaming laptop next time due to the sacrifices made for that sleek appearance.
The new Razer Blade 18 offers very fast components and is currently one of the fastest laptops you can get. It is even 1 kg lighter and even a bit quieter than the big rival Alienware 18. However, the Razer is also more expensive.
