I've never lived without a laptop since 2002, and this year I'm going to get Razer Blade 14".

Laptops are getting desktop like performance with the portability of a small backpack and the weight of under 2kg. Full HD with 14" laptop looks just right.

With the human size not changing at all, I see that there's always a need for a PC.

I will be upgrading to this as my main machine as when my current MBP pro dies. It's 4 years old now. I will miss macOS though. I have a Surface Pro 3 and its just horrible to use - both as a tablet and laptop.

edit: A bit more detail: I've done a lot of reseach into gaming laptops in the last month as I'll be starting a job using unity in Feb. The Blade seems to be just a little bit better than ASUS and MSI offerings. I think the Alienware machines just look like cheap junk so didn't really look into them.

They are all priced incredibly closely it really does come down to your preference for style and minor feature variations.

People think laptops have desktop-like performance only because they haven't used desktops much. It's actually not even close.
