Hello!

I want to get a gaming laptop, here are my criterias

Max 2300$ CAD
Good build quality
Maxwell
Plays BF4 High/Ultra 60FPS
Streaming capable
At least 128GB SSD
15.6''
Not bulky, light design

Very optional:
3K/4K
M2
Battery

Right now I see Cyberpower Fangbook and MSI GS series in the race

The Razer Blade laptop might suit you. Take a look at the Anandtech review of it.

Razer Blade is very overpriced. Been looking around a lot and there are 2 models that stuck around:

GS60 2PE-053US

GS70 2QE-066USS

Both MSI laptops, very slim and pack some good stuff. The remaining question is, for the same price, 1 is 15.6'' the other is 17.3''. The smaller one offers a M.2 SSD and the bigger a standard SSD. Is it working having a smaller laptop to get a M.2 SSD?

Did anyone have comments regarding MSI, warranty or upgrades difficulty?

Razer Blade is very overpriced.

That depends entirely on whether or not you see build quality, packaging (i.e. getting all that hardware into a tiny enclosure) and design as features worth paying a premium for. If HW specs are all that matter, get a crap-ass Clevo and watch it slowly disintegrate. They do give a lot of performance on the cheap, after all.

MSi is a more than respectable brand which delivers on the same level as the Razer Blade but for a much more reasonable price, I take into account that the 2 choices I have in mind were not taken into account in your last comment. I am looking for advice in my specific scenario, I never mentioned Clevo or any cheap brands, I am specific in my needs, quality and bangs for the bucks. Razer delivers quality but falls far behind on the bangs.
