Incidents

Laptop battery swelling: This is a known issue within the entire Razer blade product line. Here are just a few community sources discussing the issue. https://pigtou.com/razer-laptop-battery-swelling/, https://www.budgetpcupgraderepair.com/razer-bloated-battery-and-how-to-prevent-them/.

Laptop adapters catching fire: An article talking about the problem https://www.notebookcheck.net/Razer-may-want-to-consider-a-recall-for-their-Blade-and-Blade-Pro-AC-adapters.426448.0.html

Replacement part disorganization and anti-consumerism:

This was documented by Andy at Salem Techsperts, where razer refused to sell a battery, claiming the laptop was a "Legacy model" (While not being listed as such on their website), and saying to contact a repair shop, they then offered to sell a battery after a comment from the Salem Techsperts youtube channel got over 5000 likes citing the problem on a video criticising razer, a few updates have come since then, whereas now razer claimed to not have bettery, then later claimed to actually have the battery, prompting backlash from the community.
