Hey everyone,
So recently I was deciding between the new Razer Blade 2016 (and buy the Razer Core), or the Aorus x5s v5 and the MSI GS60 6QE Ghost pro 4k. I think I have decided on the Razer as the aorus makes tooo much noise (Yes i will need to have this in meetings, quite uni classrooms etc and cant risk loud fans), and have stuck to Razer over the MSI due to the 6GB VRAM, the touch screen and the overall build quality. (I think)
Anyway, now I have another decision to make, which is to either buy the New Razer Blade within the next 2 weeks, or wait for ultra thin laptops with 1080m GPUs to come out (which may be at the beginning of next year). I will need a quiet laptop that can handle gaming, and be portable as well as slick. I am leaving to university a year from now and that is probably the main reason I am getting a laptop (Obviously if I buy the Razer now I will also use it for other things until then). The oonly thing is, what if really slick, affordable laptops come out with 1080m or 1070m within that year? I dunno what choice to make, please help!

I would just get the new Blade now if you really need a pc asap. The 970m with 6gb of VRAM is still very powerful. You also get $100 off the core when it does come out. If you need substantially more power later on you could get a 1070 for $379 to dock in the core. The Blade is a quality machine.
