I'm kicking around the idea of taking the plunge on the razer once again thanks to their holiday incentives running. I'm hopeful that some folks here can chime in. Depending on where (or who) you ask, you'll get some fairly negative responses related to Razer's quality. Yet most of the reviews liken the Razer to the solid build quality of Apple. I'd like members here to chime in on their first-hand experience - I'm hoping to get a 3 to 4 years out of a laptop. Is that feasible? Support, I now that razer worked hard a few years back to improve matters, have they in fact improved? 15" Base model vs advanced. I'll be looking to get the base and I see some of the differences, but I'm a bit confused over the keyboard. They mention single zone chroma? Does the secondary keys light up? I recall the 2018 razer blade's secondary keys do not, such as the the Function keys or @#$% keys Any gotchas or concerns or recommendations with the base 2060 model with 144hz screen?

    I just recieved today the Razer Blade 15, base model, i79750H, RTX2060, Full HD 144hz, 512SSD + empty slot. Chroma is like, all buttons light up the same colour, 4 preset (audio, spectrum wave, static and breathing), Fn keys light up too, green razer logo lights up too. In terms of build quality I love it. Track pad is awesome and I love the gestures (1 finger left click, 2 fingers right click, 2 fingers up/down scrolling, 3 fingers up/down app management etc.) Keyboard feels awesome (for me). Upper arrow position doesnt really bother me, I already got used to it, I only got questionmark wrong once. I can answer and test any question you want.
