Tough call.

My son has the Blade and like hates it. Likes it for looks, thin but hates it because it gets hot and throttles unless it's in a cooling pad. IOW, he won't buy again.

Hmmmm I see... Does your son have the Blade or the Blade Stealth? And also if you don’t recommend any, are there laptops with similar characteristics to these two? I’m not condoning my options to these two, they were just the front runners.

The Blade.

I looked at the stealth and it appears to have the same issue.
