The Razer Blade Stealth 13 may very well be “the world’s first gaming ultrabook,” as the corporate claims. It options Intel’s brand-new 10th-gen, 10nm Ice Lake Core i7-1065G7 inside, and—look ahead to it—a GeForce GTX 1650 GPU.
On paper, we’d agree. Most thin-and-light laptops by definition take away any consideration of discrete graphics, as a result of scorching GPUs and tight areas don’t combine effectively. There’s Huawei’s Matebook X Pro with its GeForce MX150, however that discrete GPU isn’t even formally thought-about a gaming half by Nvidia. The Razer Blade Stealth 13’s GeForce GTX 1650 is way extra succesful, however we don’t know simply how briskly Razer can run it in a laptop this small.
GPUs are much more restricted by thermals and energy than CPUs. The identical GeForce GTX 1650, for instance, will carry out higher in a bigger, thicker laptop than a thinner one, as you’ll be able to see under evaluating the slender Dell XPS 15 in opposition to a beefy Acer Nitro 5.
Take that very same GeForce GTX 1650 and drop it into a 13-inch chassis, and what’s going to you get? We’ll have to attend for critiques to search out out, however it doesn’t matter what, it’s nonetheless prone to be much better than the 10-watt GeForce MX150 within the Matebook X Pro.

Is it actually an ultrabook?
We’re not even positive the Razer Blade Stealth 13 can name itself an ultrabook, not to mention a gaming one. It measures about 12 inches extensive, 8.three inches deep, and about 0.6 inch thick (15.3mm.) It’s that thickness and the facet view that’ll make you query its ultrabook declare.
In the image under, for instance, the physique seems prefer it needs to be purchasing within the husky part of denims.
RazerThe Razer Blade Stealth 13 asks: “Does this GPU make me look fat?”
In actuality although, it’s not that thick. In reality, if Razer’s claims of 15.3mm are true, it’s really about 1mm thinner than an XPS 13 9380’s thickest portion. Look the image of the XPS 13 9380, under. Even although its rear is definitely thicker than the Razer Blade Stealth 13’s, the taper works like vertical stripes on a gown or swimsuit and makes it seem thinner than it’s.

At least you get the brand new elements inside. Besides the 10th-gen, 10nm Ice Lake Core i7-1065G7, you additionally get that CPU’s new help for LPDDR-X/3733 RAM. Razer appropriately presents it with 16GB of RAM, not like some makers who’re dipping as little as 4GB.
Razer will provide three variations. The two GTX fashions share the identical 16GB of LPDDR4X, 512GB PCIe SSD, Core i7-1065G7, WiFi 6, and 53.1-watt-hour battery. The solely distinction is the show: One presents a 1080p display, and the opposite a 4K contact show.
The final mannequin is the Razer Stealth Mercury White. This mannequin would be the entry-level model with a 1080p display, 16GB of RAM, Core i7-1065G7, and 256GB PCIe SSD. Left out of this mannequin is the GeForce GTX 1650.
For these involved about graphics efficiency, Razer is…
