Best laptop I've ever owned (with a few caveats)

With so many options, it was not a clear-cut decision to go with the Razer Blade Advanced 15. The cost is high and I heard horror stories with customer support, hardware and software issues, etc. with buying a Razer. The reason I bought the laptop from Best Buy was because of the long return time (I think 45 days) thus if I experienced a problem within this period, I could return it.
I will say that my experience with the laptop in the last 45 days has been mostly great. I did discover two dead pixels in the screen although when I contacted Best Buy support they offered me a 10% discount to compensate me for the issue which I felt was reasonable and accepted it. Aside from that, the laptop has been great. It is true that it is a finger print magnet but really not a huge deal in my opinion. I would say that it runs hot but considering the hardware I am not surprised and when comparing it to the Alienware laptop, it handles the heat MUCH better. There is a specific spot where it heats up (right above the keyboard between the F4 - F9 keys but doesn't really affect the keyboard or other areas of the laptop. I've been using a laptop stand which absolutely helps with heat management and airflow.
I LOVE the keyboard. I feel that the speakers are really good (I've been complimented on the sound). The screen resolution is amazing (even w/ the dead pixel), and it has the best trackpad I've ever used on a PC laptop. Lastly, I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the webcam as I heard it was poor but it has been the highest quality webcam I've ever had on a laptop.
I thought that the placement of the ports would bother me as I like to have the majority in the back of the laptop (like my previous Alienware) but they have been surprisingly not bothered me.
Overall, I would say that so far this has been the best laptop I've ever owned. Let's just hope I don't have something break and have to deal with their customer support LOL!

It's a fantastic laptop. Beautiful screen, best-in-class internals, everything you could ask for. The only con is the price, but you do get what you pay for.
