I opened my Razer Blade for the first time today to clean the fans and this is what I saw. Should I be concerned?

No it isn't. You fail to see that the battery is entirely tied to it's usage profile. The Blade is drawing 150W and up, that laptop of yours didn't draw more than 15W for sure as high watt CPUs and GPUs for ultraportable mobile means are barely 5 years old. Before that a "gaming laptop with big power" was a huge 5kg machine.

People like you who always make those comparison like "My 2013 Macbook Pro is still running strong but my top-end XPS died after one year" or yours "My 10 yo Thinkpad which got an underpowered CPU without any GPU has no battery issue" always fail to see how electronics work.

It's friction - more power, means more movement, means more heat, means more friction, means high probability for something to collapse.

That's what it is. It's ultraportable laptops in super small form-factor which users demand to have freaking 2060+ GPUs inside with 65W CPUs in tow and all that then driven by a 1cm thick battery crammed right next to the dense heater. That doesn't work well with the cooling solutions we have available today. That's insane to even compare that to a 15W Thinkpad T410.

The battery longevity is entirely tight to the power that is drawn from it constantly - that's physics.

I fully understand what you are saying about the battery. Don't make assumptions about what i do or don't understand. Also, my lenovo is a intel i5, im sure it draws a lot more than just 15w. You still don't get what i was even saying. I'm not comparing power draw. I'm comparing general reliability. You can call it what you want. A consumer should get a more reliable product for what they're paying for.

. It just means that your small bubble of awareness and attention got caught up on that because you are involved to some sorts.

Ummm another unbiased assumption you know absolutely nothing about. Don't come on here and insult people. That's just rude. Some of us come here to learn. Some of us don't know everything like you do about technology and are trying to see if a product is good.

The battery longevity is entirely tight to the power that is drawn from it constantly - that's physics.

That makes perfect sense.

"I've read here" should always be a good hint for someone to rethink their mindset as that is subjective anecdotal empiricism - nothing someone should base their arguments on.

You take it as a argument, I call it a debate. Totally different. Anyways, what I was saying is there's tons of reports of razer failures, but as you even stated, they're more widespread. I'm sure that's the case and don't doubt that at all. They make the best pc laptop I've ever used. Mine just had issues. Nothing against razer.

If there is something happening, the voices are louder just like with Apple.

This is what I already figured was the case from the start. The unhappy customers are always the loudest.

You seem to know quite a bit about this and I'm not trying to even argue with you. I'm trying to understand how this newer stuff works as far as laptops go. If all gaming laptops suffer from this issue, which one do you recommend?
