I bought a refurbished Razer Blade 256GB 2014 Edition about a month ago for a steal price of $1800. I managed to get Amazon to give me a bit more time to decide whether to return it or not because of some issues with the fans which Razer has agreed to fix.
$1800 is a steal, I know. However, given the crazy benchmarks and energy efficiency of the new Nvidia 900m series, as well as the energy efficient Broadwell CPUs, am I going to regret this purchase come March-May when the Razer Blade 2015 (probably) is released? As it is now, I am a bit bummed the laptop only has 4 hours battery life, when the old one has 7. Please let me know what you guys think. I'm having a lot of trouble with this decision.

no matter what you buy, 6 months later it'll be obsolete. If your laptop meets your needs enjoy it. 4 hours really isn't bad for a gaming laptop, especially if it's 4 hours of gaming. I can't imagine a gaming laptop actually lasting 7 hours of actual gaming. are you sure you're comparing apples to apples situations?

Oh, no, it's only four hours for like web browsing and basic stuff. The old one had a seven hour battery life because the screen wasn't quite as good (1600x900 vs 3200x1800).
