So my cousin is deciding between the Razer Blade Stealth and the ASUS UX330UA.
On amazon, the Razer is going for 900 and the ASUS for 700.
As far as specs are concerned, both will perform very similarly (gaming aside) and the most glaring difference is that the ASUS more storage (256GB vs 128GB) but the Razer has a Thunderbolt 3 port.
I ask you, /g/ents: is Thunderbolt 3 really worth less storage and 200 more dollars?

Thunderbolt is only worth anything if you actually need it for some purpose. With the razer you can use thunderbolt to connect an external gpu. So if your cousin's actually planning to do that you could consider the razer, otherwise you're just paying a big premium for a led keyboard or whatever compared to the asus.

If money is a concern, It's too early to buy thunderbolt. Wait until it's a make or break feature, then buy the cheaper option. For now, it's still novelty status.

intel are such fucking jews about thunderbolt, it's a pretty neat concept but unless you actually have a use for it that cannot be fulfilled otherwise like eGPU, steer clear, and honestly if you need an eGPU then you shouldn't be buying a laptop
