Pros

• I always wanted to try a Razer Blade because the design is amazing
• I suggest you increase your budget to $2K and look for laptops such as ROG Zephyrus or Razer Blade (2022 and later for battery protection) for better build quality and performance.
• Check out zephyrus g14/16 or it's razer blade equivalent, you'll way better off with those than these gaming laptops They're small, portable but still got the gaming power you need
• The closest laptop to a MacBook in my experience I would say is the Razer Blade, black metal chassis, nice screen, don’t think they do touch screen, good specs, but the weight can depend on the model.

• I personally wouldn't buy either the g16 or the new razer blade, but they're worth looking into in your situation.
• Parent context: Idk if the Blade keyboard gets better from 2023 and onward but I find them worse than the Zephyrus Reply: Apparently they increased the travel on the 2025 ones bit a fair bit - excited to see reviews on any improvements.
• Razer also has Many problems.
