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
