Razer Updates Stealth 13 Ultrabook With Gaming Specs

It didn't take long for Razer to put in some extra work and updated their Razer Blade Stealth 13. While it did made a decent wave when it debuted at the IFA 2019 in Berlin, it was directly compared to Apple's 13-inch MacBook Pro.

Still, it was enough for Razer to push their vision and continue its legacy as one of the top names in the gaming industry. The latest update, however, will place the Stealth 13 on a league of its own and to eventually mark it as the "world's first gaming Ultrabook."

According to Tech Radar, the all-new “Late-2019” version of the Razer Blade Stealth 13 will come with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 graphics processing unit (GPU). This came as the company's answer when reviews said that the Nvidia MX150 didn't exactly lived up to its expectation and that it made the Ultrabook's gaming performance “entry level.”

In addition, the Nvidia MX150 struggled with “demanding games” but it did made a decent impression when the outlet played Fortnite on medium quality.

Going along with the new GPU is a four-core, eight-thread Core i7 Intel Ice Lake processor. Razer also included a 16GB “battery-saving” LPDDR4 onboard memory.

The source said that the duo will make the update version “ready for more gaming without the need for Razer's external graphics card dock.”

The late-2019 model will be sold in two versions: Full HD and a 4K touchscreen version. Moreover, it will also come with a 512GB SSD and “100% coverage of the sRGB color space” to go alongside thin bezels.

Razer isn't quite finished, though. The outlet also revealed that the company came up with a “non-GTX” version of the Stealth 13 that will supposedly focus on the Intel side of things. It will still carry the same processor, among other things, but Razer gave it a “bumped up power profile.”

An Intel Iris Plus will replace the powerhouse Nvidia GTX 1650 as the laptop's GPU, while Razer limited the SSD size to 256GB and should contrast the GTX's matte black hue with a “Mercury White” finish.

Both the Nvidia and Intel version will virtually be the same, and that would include WiFi 6, a four-lane Thunderbolt 3 PCIe and a “Windows Hello-ready infrared camera.” They are, however, quite heavy: the former will load in at 3.26 pounds, while the latter is at 2.99 pounds.

The new Razer Blade Stealth 13 will hit the U.S. a nd Canada later this month, while the United Kingdom, Australia and “several other markets” are bound to follow soon. There's no word about its official pricing, but it'll most likely start at around $1,499.
