Razer Blade Stealth Laptop Now Available In 13.3-Inch Model, New Gunmetal Color

Razer has announced an updated version of its Razer Blade Stealth laptop, which comes with a bigger display and a new gunmetal gray finish. The new Razer Blade Stealth is now available for purchase with its basic configuration costing $1,399.

The Razer Blade Stealth now comes with a 13.3-inch model, which is up from its original 12.5-inch size. Razer has managed to bring a bigger display on the new laptop without compromising the Razer Blade Stealth’s original portable size at only 0.52 inches thin and weighing only 2.93 pounds.

Unlike the 12.5-inch model, the 13.3-inch Razer Blade Stealth comes with quad HD 3,200 x 1,800 screen resolution instead of 4K ultra HD. However, the 13.3-inch model is still able to deliver the same 400 nits of brightness and a 100-percent sRGB color gamut, Digital Trends reported.

The new model also introduces a gunmetal color option. The new look for the Razer Blade Stealth gives it a more professional feel and seems more at home in an office environment.

The gunmetal Razer Blade Stealth also ditches the glowing Razer logo in favor of a subtle two-tone logo, the Verge reported. The gunmetal Razer Blade Stealth also ditches the RGB backlit keys for the more traditional white backlighting.

“The first Razer Blade Stealth’s success proved that highly mobile students, creatives and professionals alike are demanding more in terms of performance, personalization and value,” Razer co-founder and CEO Min-Liang Tan said. “From the classroom to the boardroom, the new Razer Blade Stealth continues to set the standard for mobility, power, durability and value in laptops for productivity everywhere.”

If consumers want Razer’s RGB backlit keyboard and the glowing green logo on the lid, they can just pick up the black-colored Razer Blade Stealth.

As for specs, the Razer Blade Stealth comes with a 2.7GHz Intel Core i7-7500U processor with 16GB of dual channel LPDDR3 RAM. It’s also outfitted with an integrated Intel HD Graphics 620.

The basic configuration of the laptop comes with 256GB of PCIe SSD storage. There’s an option to bump that up to 512GB or 1TB, but that will cost $1,599 or $1,999, respectively. The 12.5-inch model starts at 512GB and caps at 1TB, and also sells at $1,599 and $1,999.

For gamers who need to bump up the laptop’s graphics performance when at home, the Razer Blade Stealth is compatible with the Razer Core. This will allow gamers to install and run desktop graphics cards on their laptop externally.

The Razer Core supports cards from AMD and NVIDIA, and will cost an extra $399 if bought alongside the new Razer Blade Stealth. The Razer Core usually costs $499.

As for ports, the Razer Blade comes with two USB 3.0 ports, one USB Type-C port that comes with Thunderbolt 3 and external GPU support, an HDMI 2.0a audio and video output and a 3.5mm headphone jack. For software, the laptop ships with Windows 10 Home.

The new Razer Blade Stealth is now available from the Razer Store and will be available from Best Buy, the Microsoft Store and Amazon sometime later this month.
