Earlier quoted context omitted.
This is for their razor blade laptop, are you really going to avoid their entire line up because of that?
This isn't even the laptop, it's for Razer Synapses which is their cloud mouse/keyboard settings program. This is literally nothing to do with their laptop line up.

#42I've heard the argument
* they needed more space on the device so couldn't include the drivers and configuration
* cloud drivers allow portability of configuration
Both of those fall on their face in reality. Lan gaming is mostly dead since most multiplayer games are online and memory space is cheap.

#43Look at it this way... what Apple did with NextStep in 1999, Razer, et al., could be doing right now, finally, and catching up. With Linux.
Only 20 years behind the ball, but .. then again .. these are not yet $Billion companies. Yet.

#44Well, I think I'll refrain from buying razer because of this: https://mobile.twitter.com/internetofshit/status/83665111681...

#45I am one of many disgruntled Razer Blade Stealth and razer core owners, currently awaiting a refund. Some customers are on as many as their 4th or 5th replacement unit. They have no English support in the UK, just a couple of german phone numbers which nobody seems to answer. The forum is terrible and they can't translate emails correctly. It's insulting.

It's a real shame, it fits the bill perfectly but Dell will almost certainly get my money for an XPS 13 instead.

Multiple hardware failures and eventually had to return it. They should probably learn basic quality control techniques before spending any energy on better linux support.

#47This is great! I picked up a Razer 2016/1060 a couple months ago and have been running Ubuntu on it since then. There's been a few issues, but overall it's been a great machine to transition to after a decade of Mac usage. If you're interested, it will require a bit of configuration (and even then its not 100% perfect just yet). See here for a list of issues/solutions: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jI2jlVi1V0H8…
I have been looking at the Razer Blade and the Alienware 13" recently and have been leaning towards the Alienware since I can replace the WiFi card...but if Razer brings 1st class support for Linux systems then I will have a much harder decision to make when I start looking again.

#48Please also add trackpoint[0] so that we thinkpad (linux) users can be more comfortable considering switching to your platform. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointing_stick
I know some people love them but compared to the massive glass trackpad with multitouch that I have on my MacBook I don't understand the appeal. Is it a portability thing?

dang, can we get the link changed to this since most phones will redirect to the mobile version, but for some reason, people haven't figured a way to redirect to desktop versions from mobile?
