I ordered and received my Razer Blade 14 (2025) model this month. I have been adding the software I need installed since this past weekend. This will be a business machine, not a gaming system. I know this is blasphemy but I am not a gamer. I run a 3D modeled Industrial Robot Programming software package as a means to perform some of my job functions. I also run Structure Studios VIP3D Pool Design software designing my own future pool. I may parlay this into a side job but for now I have a license for my own use. This software is a GPU pig!
I previously was using a 2018 Razer Blade 15 Base and it worked rather well. Thinking I had some sort of GPU or RAM issue while on site back in 2023, I needed a power laptop and ordered an ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15. This serve me fine until the past month or so as it started to develop several strange issues resulting in several blue screens as well as the need to reset the Windows 11 installation a few times as well. About two weeks ago the ASUS finally crashed. It appears to be a motherboard issue and I was not going to sink what the cost of repair for a new motherboard and labor would cost. This necessitated in a new machine, the 2025 Blade 14.
So far I have no issues whatsoever, including the VIP3D software. The only real complaint I have is the location of the power button (next to the delete key). This is a bad design and I wish the power button was placed elsewhere on the computer away from the keyboard. Other than that, no other complaints so far.
Anyone else not pleased with this or have any other issues I might keep an eye on? The opinions of others is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
