The upscale Razer Blade Stealth is a surprisingly good ultrabook

2016-10-07
one of the unexpected surprises for me earlier this year was the razor blade stealth this was a high-end 12.5 inch laptop from Razer a company best known for gaming laptops and accessories but rather than another highly designed gaming system the stealth was a pure Ultrabook now we've got an updated version of the stealth with a new low voltage core i7 and better battery life at the same time we also have increased competition from the excellent second generation of Apple's 12-inch MacBook as well as 12-inch windows laptops like the new Asus Zenbook 3 but despite the more competitive landscape Razer is still the price King when it comes to premium ultra books the $9.99 base model it's a really great value with the same better than HD touch display and core i7 processor as more expensive configurations including the one we tested which had more RAM and hard drive space one of the standout features is Razer signature chroma backlit keyboard it's an under the fingers light show unmatched by anyone else it's basically a backlit keyboard that can display millions of color combinations in a wide variety of patterns it's a fun little show-off feature but can also be distracting if you're actually trying to get some work done unlike most 12-inch laptops you actually get real USB ports here not just a single USBC for charging but it's also been on the big side for 12-inch laptop closer to the 13-inch MacBook Air then the 12-inch MacBook still the Razer Blade stealth is a well made high design laptop and a really good value
