Question 6

Is the processor I& 6500U or 6700HQ?

Accepted Answer

The one they sent me was the 6700HQ. I think it's just an error on their part. I don't  think Razer makes a Blade with a 6500.

That said I did have to send mine back for repair as the unit had an issue with the video output. When I connect an external monitor there is a flicker on the screen.  Turns out some of these machines don't have proper internal shielding for their power cord which causes issues. It (the flickering) only's happens the power cord is plugged into the unit. I don't think their inspection is as detailed as it should be. If you are going to spend almost $2K on a loptop one would hope it be inspected for everyday use. Plus the rep on the phone said it would take 7 to 10 days for them to even look at the laptop. Then they would have to ship a replacement. All told I could be out a laptop for 10 to 15 days when you consider the delay in shipping.

I was planing on using this for work as a video production unit, however I would warn others  to consider there use case before making such a major purchase on this channel.

Newegg was very quick to respond to my issue, but give the investment I find over all experience less than satisfying.
