Would love to get you all opinion on three interesting notebooks. They are all less than .9" thick and less that .5lbs with two being less than 5.8lbs.

So three different companies and three different laptops.
All three have the same CPU + GPU, but there is about a $1k price difference between the three.
On the surface, the Zeusbook seems like the clear choice since a 256gb ssd can be added for less than the price of the G70. Cyberpower is extremly reasonable with there upgrade prices. The razer blade seems to price itself out of this competition and it weighs almost 1lb more.
What I can not tell from here though is the feel of the three laptops and the cooling solutions of each. The Razerblade looks like topnotch quality. You are also paying for the touch pad.
For reference, a 765m falls between a gtx 560 and an amd 6870.
