    You'd look more stylish with a Honda Odyssey.

    What a friggin horrible design. Looks like interns are doing the design work for Sammy.
  • Tams80 - Friday, April 6, 2018 - link

    Ouch!

    It's a shame that I have a Samsung laptop with a better port selection.

    Ew

    NOPE!

    What the hell is going on with Samsung, it's like they employed Daewoo's industrial design department or something...

    ...and it's all of their electronics. Ever since 2012 even their TV's look hideous and I didn't think that was even possible, but they did it! They're either bored because the electronics are so good they have to spend time on something, or they are just trying too hard.

    Just keep it simple. People actually like how 'boring' the Surface, Macbook, T-series and Elitebook's look. Just keep is fucking simple! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH THE LID OF THAT SCREEN!?

    lmao retard design doesnt matter in a pc its the parts, look up sleeper pc
  • Samus - Thursday, April 5, 2018 - link

    Why can't you have good parts and good design? Why does one have to so much outweigh the other?

    I couldn't have imagined how ugly it was before clicking on the article.

    Top notch comments guys.....
  • Retycint - Wednesday, April 4, 2018 - link

    I don't see a notch in the laptop though /s
  • Tams80 - Friday, April 6, 2018 - link

    Please don't give them ideas.

    Hot damn, we have achieved a new level of Fugly.
  • StevoLincolnite - Wednesday, April 4, 2018 - link

    I don't mind it. Reminds me of something from the 80's. Haha
  • darckhart - Wednesday, April 4, 2018 - link

    ermm why move the keybd down.... and then fill up the space with a big ol solid piece of metal (or whatever it is in the picture)? couldn't make vents or something? smh
  • saiga6360 - Wednesday, April 4, 2018 - link

    If those are vents, I would probably keep fingers as far away as possible.

    As far as it being ugly, it's a gaming laptop. Aren't they supposed to be?

    The only area where Razer is of any actual value is gaming notebooks that don`t make you cringe right away. If only they focused all of treir resources on that instead of Logitech mice rip-offs and keyboards designed for homo parades.
  • Spunjji - Thursday, April 5, 2018 - link

    Presumably a homo parade is a prideful assembly of Sapiens Sapien and our various extinct cousins? That or you're a bell-end.
  • Hurr Durr - Thursday, April 5, 2018 - link

    Buttblast noted.

    Seeing "bellend" used properly -- as Jeremy Clarkson intended -- never ceases to bring a smile to my face.
  • PeachNCream - Thursday, April 5, 2018 - link

    This was a beautifully executed zinger. Nicely done!
  • Dribble - Thursday, April 5, 2018 - link

    If you are gaming then putting the touch pad under the keyboard means your palm brushes the touch pad and moves the mouse. Putting it to the side makes a lot of sense for this sort of machine. That done do you want a load of solid space above of beneath the keyboard - well putting it on the end makes more sense as then you can have your choice of wrist support. It might not look pretty but ergonomically it makes sense.
  • Gazzy - Thursday, April 5, 2018 - link

    The worst design of the year goes to Sammy.....
  • Manch - Thursday, April 5, 2018 - link

    Jesus Mary Mother of God that's fucking UGLY!!
  • no1seem2 - Thursday, April 5, 2018 - link

    Nice design. Can I flip it over and grill a bbq?
  • PeachNCream - Thursday, April 5, 2018 - link

    I can't see myself using a laptop that positions the keyboard that far forward. There's no palm rest area at all and the touchpad is in a really odd position. Maybe you could argue that the touchpad wouldn't get accidental contact from stray fingers, but my primary computer has been a laptop of some sort since the late 1990s and I've never experienced a problem with touchpad placement below the keyboard. The software rejects input (has for decades) and if I play a game, I almost always have an external mouse on hand so I don't see the advantage here.

    The design's emphasis on being thin and using some sort of tuned Max-Q GPU variety implies portability, but you'd almost have to take along some kind of external wrist rest or palm rest to make use of the integrated keyboard so that costs you in portability because you're carrying something else along with you to compensate for keyboard placement. I tend to use my laptop on a lapdesk while I'm on a couch or comfy chair so the other problem I'd run into is the need to push the laptop further back on my legs to get my arms into a comfortable position. That'd mess with the balance of the lapdesk on my legs and put the screen at a greater distance from my eyes. Both of those would make this thing uncomfortable to use. I just...wow, I can't see how there's any benefits that justify the design decisions here.

    lmao look at these retards willing to pay thousands of dollars for shitty specs and good design, just because this laptop doesnt have design to it doesnt mean it isnt powerful, design has nothing to do with the power, i can put business computer parts in a desktop rig it up with rgb lights and get a nice case and most likely all u dumbasses will buy it for a couple thousand dollars if i post the specs and call it a gaming pc cause none of u retards even read the specs
  • Hurr Durr - Friday, April 6, 2018 - link

    How many homo parade keyboards have you bought lately? All in all, they do consume more POWER.
  • weilin - Thursday, April 5, 2018 - link

    This is Samsung though... So this thing is gonna start a 1.5k... For that kind of pricing I'm expecting the goods (4Q CPU + 1060 GPU + 16GB RAM + 256GB SSD) + elegant design.

    If i just cared about the internal hardware, I'd look at Dell's Inspiron 15" 7000 Gaming Series. The CPU is a generation behind, but it's the same GPU, RAM, SSD for $1k USD. (and it looks half decent to boot)

    For me when you write the magic word: Gaming then it's nvidia for sure.
  • Kroad44 - Friday, May 18, 2018 - link

    It would appear I'm the only one in the comments that actually likes the design and wants this machine... so I guess I'm weird or vastly uncultured...
