The New Blade
Stealth NAILS It. #Helpful Post
hey
guys za stain this is the 2019 razor
blade
stealth and it might just be my
perfect
laptop what I've been looking
for
is a thin and light 13-inch laptop
which
has a quad-core processor
dedicated
graphics and decent build
quality
now the closest is something
like
that I found will be the 13-inch
MacBook
Pro with touch bar but at $1,800
it
still lacks those dedicated graphics
fast-forward
to 2019 though and we have
the
Razer Blade stealth with pretty much
everything
I've ever dreamed of it's a
20-19
lattice is the 2019 razor blade it
counts
razor have been making the blade
stealth
for a few years at this point
while
they steadily tweak the design as
well
as improved the performance it
still
been an ultrabook and not a gaming
PC
sure you could plug in a razor core
with
the external GPU and be able to get
some
decent gaming performance but up
until
the 2018 model you were still
limited
to the dual core and it just
wasn't
quite the full package whereas
this
guy can game right out of the box
because
it does have those dedicated
graphics
the base model does still come
with
Intel integrated graphics but if
you
opt for the mid spec or higher you
do
get the NVIDIA MX 150 inside of
course
you're not going to blow away the
50
inch blade as far as gaming
performance
goes but it's a huge step up
over
just having integrated graphics
another
design unlock a fair bit of
gaming
as well as video editing but
importantly
this is not the standard MX
150
it is the higher 25 watt TDP version
which
does come with four gigs of gddr5
memory
for example fortnight is no
problem
we're easily able to play at a
ap
medium here and we're getting
anywhere
between 45 to 60 frames per
second
black
ops 4 is also totally playable
here
at 1080p on low now the frame rates
pretty
solid we're getting 45 to 50 if
it
was me I would sacrifice just a
little
bit of resolution to smooth it
out
and get us saw it locked 60 but it
is
totally playable this stealth has
also
been updated with the latest
whiskey
Lake processors in this case the
only
option is the core i7
8650
you 86 60 80 565 you it's the new
one
it's the one that boosts like 4.6
gigahertz
so on top of it being a
quad-core
processor the nice thing here
is
that we actually have that extra
turbo
boost speed to make it feel very
responsive
now I take a look at a lot of
laptops
lately and some of them do feel
a
little bit slower when they don't
quite
boost as high but this feels just
as
fast as pretty much any kind of
gaming
PC that I would try for normal
web
browsing and stuff that you do every
single
day
this
mid spec model I have here is
outfitted
with 16 gigs of dual channel
memory
and that's backed up by a 268 m
vm
e drive which is really quite fast
put
it all together and if I was
building
my dream 13 laptop this is
pretty
much what I would choose a great
CPU
decent GPU speeds as well as the
rest
of the specs all wrapped up in a
nice
aluminum package the entire design
is
new this year so this means that we
have
smaller bezels which means this is
the
entire laptop is a little bit less
wide
it's also got a more squared-off
design
and it's all of course made out
of
this matte black aluminum I think not
only
does it look nice but importantly
it
also feels nice part of the reason it
feels
so good is because it does start
life
as a giant chunk of aluminum which
is
then CNC milled down to the actual
body
that we have here
razor
is one of the very few companies
who
does this in addition to Apple it
does
make a difference to the build
quality
and just the general Hebden
we're
not have to guess but the general
feel
like it's a very rigid sort of
premium
feeling laptop the only slight
issue
is that with my pre-production
unit
there is a little bit of flex on
the
bottom of the chassis
however
I actually did get to take a
look
at another blade stealth and that
didn't
have this problem so I'm assuming
it's
just an early issue remove a few
Torx
screws on the bottom and you'll
have
easy access to the internals of the
laptop
so there's not a lot that you can
work
on here so the SSD is user
upgradeable
if you would like
unfortunately
the RAM is started down
but
it is actually a really nice little
design
here and importantly you can see
they
have completely redesigned the
thermal
solution mostly because you know
they
added a full GPU inside so we've
got
two fins there's also a decently
sized
53 watt hour battery and that's
good
my experience for somewhere between
6
to 7 hours of battery life I just
realized
why does it say Pro on the
inside
it's like a prototype oh oh yeah
it
as a prototype won't get Pro mean oh
right
because they send me a
pre-production
unit the ports have also
been
slightly tweaked in addition to the
Thunderbolt
3 port and two USB AS we
also
now have a secondary USB C port as
opposed
to HDMI good stuff
then
there's the screen now a paper this
is
actually a downgrade so we're going
from
an 1800 P touch screen down to a
1080p
non-touch display
I
actually prefer this though and a big
reason
it is battery life so going down
to
1080p means we have to push a lot
less
pixels and on top of that it's one
of
the new ultra efficient
one-and-a-half
watt panels which helps
to
contribute to that pretty decent six
to
seven hours of battery life now if
you
do really want to touch screen a
more
resolute
there
is a 4k touch-panel option as far
as
I'm concerned that this is the sweet
spot
it's helped by excellent inputs so
now
that do we have a windows precision
touchpad
here but I don't know what kind
of
wizardry razors doing this is a
monthly
nicest I've ever tried on any
Windows
laptop now that doesn't have a
very
smooth glass surface but the
tracking
is really really on par with a
lot
of the best laptops on the market
then
there's the keyboard now it is
using
custom Razer switches and to my
taste
I wish you'll be just a little bit
lighter
but I think a lot of people will
be
very happy now for typing but also
with
gaming on the sky and of course it
does
have the full chroma RGB support to
customize
that however you want
the
speakers are also great so specially
has
like quad speaker set up so it has a
pair
of 2 watt speakers on either side
as
far as the laptop goes again it
sounds
really good are you sensing a
trend
here the razor blade stealth does
a
lot of things very very well what's
not
so great is the webcam as you guys
can
see it's fine it is 720p but the
main
issue here is if the windows hello
support
which is included just doesn't
work
all that reliably it's rare that I
review
a laptop that does so much right
Razer
definitely did their homework with
the
blade stealth this year the only
thing
I can really dig them for is price
to
get that MX 150 which you really
should
opt for if you do have the Razer
Blade
stealth you have to get the mid
spec
model which does come in at a
pretty
expensive $1600 considering the
entire
package though it's so dope that
really
can't even complain it's so dope
I
can't complain that's a the tagline
for
the for the website there's if you
want
to put that on the on the accolades
it's
so dope I can't complain awesome in
2018
feel free
