I want to give a big thank you to resident evil to remake for sponsoring this video what's going on everybody I'm John render from I guess just like here now and one of the things I used to love to do was reviewing laptops and computers in general and I haven't done one in a while and if you remember the last time I did that let's just say it pissed a bunch of people off and if having kids has taught me anything it's that people get upset way too easily and sometimes you just need a snack so let me give you a juice box and let's take a look at the latest from razor to razor blades don't so I've been kind of crushing on pcs for a while ever since I started reviewing the huawei mate book X is my home computer but since and I want to say I got to get attention span of a puppy I'm always looking for something new so what's up new hotness so 2019 razor blade stealth is one of the beast mode iasts ultrabooks you'll find it's got all new design and latest and greatest Intel processor and even a discrete GPU I'll packed into a really small ultra lightweight package it's got almost all the text bells and whistles you can ask for but are set bells and whistles enough to justify it's $1,400 starting price tag and also more importantly once once the whistles on a laptop stupid analogies aside though the new blade stealth is absolutely 100% definitely beyond a doubt mostly worth it so I tend to test computers like in the real world not like synthetically at benchmarks I test them exactly how I use them so at the office it's lighter stuff like slack GoogleDocs rams highlights empty gave this to the lakers rumors on Chrome I don't gave him that much but I am at home and the kids are asleep I do occasionally like to fire up steam and play some games so that's what I did here with the razor blade stealth so pricing is not cheap but it's also not like crazy insane either there is a 5-2 dollar difference so 1,400 bucks - about $1,900 from the entry level with integrated graphics to the max SPECT out the 4k touchscreen and the MX 150g pou so razor is super quick to point out that this is definitely not a full-fledged gaming laptop you probably want the very least a 15 inch blade for that but this little ultrabook does pack quite a punch but we'll get some more on that in a minute we've got the mid tier blade stealth here and it's $1,500 surprised I could definitely warrant some research and do Deeley before you pick one up for that kind of money though you are getting some pretty impressive least Ultrabook specs you're getting the latest whiskey Lake i7 quad core processor 16 gigs of RAM 20:56 gig m2 SSD and then the NVIDIA MX 150 dedicated GPU I just like on MG pues rage has been making some awesome looking laptops for a long time have pretty much been a fan of the design and build since they started the quality of the razer product especially their laptops and the new stealth here kind of raises that delicious sounding razor bar it's got a new design that's pretty much a pared down version of the larger 15-inch blade and that's not a bad thing the stuff is a little bit more blocky at the Ala Ludum design that does feel incredibly premium and you kind of want that you're shelling out you know fifteen sixteen hundred bucks for the computer the entire laptop is also fairly small and surprisingly light weighing in at just under three pounds it's easy to throw in a backpack or Kay around without ever really worried about getting certain marks on your shoulders so I've been a little tough on rage in the past for shipping just gigantic power bricks at their computers but I do want to give them credit they are charging this guy of you USB type-c and the power brick is super tiny so if you want some USB C charging you're good you can expect some pretty awesome battery life to accept a full day with some mixed use stuff like web browsing video streaming I thought I could easily get over a full hour of use and speaking of things that finally made their way to raise your laptop's Windows hello is here so on the plus side I love how fast convenient is to just unlock a computer with your face what I don't love though is that potato quality webcam but at least it's above the display and not looking directly up my nose looking at you del in wall way the display on that new stealth is also pretty impressive so this pen ATP molecule is what is very noticeable especially when you're outside in direct sunlight and special improvement over the previous self so underneath the matte finish is a pretty good HD panel colors look bold enough and vivid it's got good viewing angles and even they hinge the whole assembly sits on seems to be smoother and it's more refined than last gen you can also opt just machine up if you want at the 4k touch display but I've got no issues here telling you to save your money and go with 1080p better battery life but if you do miss that touchscreen got an option so mostly everything with the blade stealth is candy canes and rainbow but it isn't perfect I probably my biggest issue at the new model really comes down to the keyboard I'm typically in the past love the keyboards on Razer laptops or spacious tactile and generally pretty comfortable but I just like couldn't bring myself to love even after the two weeks of usage and this is ultimately gonna come down to a personal preference but I found the key child would be a bit shallow because the whole machine lost about an inch and a half of width and the redesign some of the keys is condensed to fit in the new design making the entire keyboard feel a little bit too cramped for my finger taste this is like definitely a small annoyance and 100% subjective and one you might not have it all the keyboard though to get past that is really well built I think ditching individual backlighting for one large single zone backlight is that for the right information I'm gonna throw up my hands up for precision drivers they are here and the trackpad is still one of the best you can find on any Windows laptop it's super spacious even in this small body the speakers are surprisingly excellent for this size it's actually four speakers out instead of the 2 they get noticeably louder and sound better than the last gen cell oh they do lack the fullness you typically get on larger laptop speakers but I could easily watch youtube videos a movie was this a music and not be bothered at all by it so new plates Delta passion for the impressive power for its really tiny size so it's got an i7 and 16 gigs of RAM that's gonna give you some power to play with or things like mobile video editing and gaming but for those you love benchmark tests I'm gonna throw a bone your way here's some PC mark and 3d mark results for the new stealth so it's obviously not gonna be on the same power level as a full-fledged desktop replacement or really blow anything out of the water but this is ultrabook can definitely hold its own when it comes to tasks like photo and video editing especially considering its tiny size and get pairing it to other ultrabooks in that same class the still has a ton of i/o so it's got a Thunderbolt 3 USB C port lets you harness the power of an external GPU if you'd like something like the Razer core long Fat Boy you're also getting two USB type a ports a headphone mic combo port and then another non thunderbolt USB type-c port so that's a little dongle life with the Razer Blade still so the optional MX 150 GPU and our units also gonna give you a decent amount of power to do some gaming on the go just not gaming while you go sorry good joke and I do want to give a big thank you here to Resident Evil 2 remake for actually sponsoring this section of the blade reviews I've actually been a huge Resident Evil fan when Resident Evil 2 originally came out in 1998 it was probably the only game at least at the time that I remember playing after I beat it the first time it probably boiled down to teenage me loved the idea of playing a game that absolutely terrified my sisters that's when I saw the trailer at e3 2018 for the resident to remake I was ready to put on my saggy jeans play some Nirvana get my late nineties game on so the game does support onboard graphics and external GPS so we wanted to try both so it's kind of cool ploy in the resin evil to remake the game looked very familiar and was terrifying with way better graphics I still remember the jump scenes and I remember the cutscenes like the truck driver at the beginning that's really ingrained in my head but seeing the remake and seeing what it looks like now with mono graphics it's pretty awesome so unnormal I was under about 30 frames per second when I wasn't moving I dropped it down to essentially medium setting and I was getting around 35 40 per second when playing it was totally playable and looked awesome that's probably the sweet spot if you want to get your resin evil to remake on what the major blade stove so the razor blade stealth has Thunderbolt 3 so we wanted to try it with an external GPU so he plugged went in with a 1080 set the settings up to max and we started getting almost double you're getting over 60 frames per second when I was playing and moving it absolutely looked awesome the graphics here look incredible as it expect for a game coming out in 2019 modern graphics on a game this scary kind of make playing in the dark a bit more fun so it's different gameplay than the original - I really dug the new over-the-shoulder camera mode I'm about halfway through playing to campaign as police officer Leon which I think I like playing that's my father-in-law's name and I'm a detective fun but you can also play the campaign as Claire college student if that you damned the guys remember the original game that came out in 98 maybe the remakes got 2 jaemin for some nostalgia or you never played it and just want to play a really good-looking terrifying game I will link to it down below so you can learn more or if you want to buy it yourself you can do that as well so after 2 weeks of non-stop use I guess stopping only to mourn the Rams loss to the evil empire I really do like the update to the stealth I think it offers a lot to consider although I'm not offended keyboard you might be and the updates and improvements to design and battery life and performance make this a case where the pros I think definitely outweigh the cons it's expensive there's kind of no doubt about that those are willing to pay up for a lightweight laptop that packs some power the stealth is a small and mighty contender
