Hi all, my son is 11 and a gamer. He does a lot of Roblox (yeah, I know) but also has gaming interests outside of Roblox. He is getting into more robust games. He also likes to record and make YouTube videos of his gaming.
He had a Razer Blade 15 and it crapped out after a year (RMA says motherboard). I had the extended warranty and they are giving me a cash settlement (check) for what I paid for the computer because Razer apparently said they cannot replace the part as it’s not available anymore.
So, did I just have bad luck with the Blade and should I go for another in the Blade series OR go with a different gaming laptop replacement?
I’m researching on my own, but also looking for recommendations from people that have knowledge in this area.
Thank you!
Edit 1: Yes, it should be a laptop. My child likes to switch environments and space is also an issue. Eventually we will consider a desktop, but I am looking for laptop suggestions.
The razers are really bad this year and I recommend avoiding them completely. Here’s an exhaustive list that just came out six days ago: https://youtu.be/KhfqhCxqpQ8
Generally, I recommend a desktop if he isn’t moving it around that much. They’re upgradable usually, which saves money over rebuying a laptop with new screens, keyboards, power supplies, etc each time.
But if he is moving it around, the Asus TUF laptops, particularly last years models, are pretty decent on the whole. Budget, but solid gaming laptops. Decent specs when I bought mine a few years ago.
