Razer products are much better than before, but their lack of retail experience shows. Associates need to be more attentive. Most sales reps just stare at the customer instead of helping to make purchase decisions. I see reps playing games instead of helping the customer?? Also most of the computers are not usable. They are locked in demo mode so customers cant even try them let alone demo games or try out the capabilities of he computer.

Each retail store is like the Wild West as Razer Corporate doesn't supervise the stores. Store management (Christopher Baldwin, Kayla Flores, Andy Shafer, and Zlatko Zgombic) believe that post-binding an agreement by printing on the receipt after the sale is legal in California. DO NOT BUY FROM RAZER RETAIL. Mason advised me the reason the OLED screen and trackpad aren't performing correctly is user error and I need to download multiple software packages to get the laptop to function as advertised. I wonder why it doesn't "just work" out of the box?!? Also, there are no restocking fees when you...
