IFA, the electronics trade show, officially kicks off on September 6 but the two days leading up to this are when all the major announcements happen. Razer is finally updating their Razer Blade Stealth lineup and bringing new laptop called the Blade Stealth 13, which it claims is the “world’s first gaming Ultrabook.”
Razer’s Blade Stealth 13 2019 Specifications, Price and Availability
The Mercury White model is my preference from the new lineup as it retains the long-life battery inspired soul of the previous Razer Blade Stealth 13. This time it is powered by the new Quad-Core 10th Gen Intel Core i7-1065G7 Processor with Hyper-Threading and a base clock of 1.3 GHz and a boost clock of 3.9 GHz at 25W. The CPU portion is why this one is much better than the previous 8th Gen used in Razer, and it’s the new Gen11 Iris Plus Graphics that features way more power than previous Intel integrated graphics solution. Storage is a little less on this model at 256GB but is still has 16GB of LPDDR4 3733MHz in dual channel mode, that speed should help out the Gen11 Iris Plus Graphics squeeze out as much performance as possible.

The new model is based on Intel’s latest 10th generation ‘Ice Lake’ family of CPUs and the Blade Stealth 13 uses the Core i7-1065G7 processor. This chip features four cores with HyperThreading; Intel’s Iris Plus graphics; has a base frequency of 1.3GHz and a max turbo frequency of 3.9GHz (for a single core). The laptop is available with up to 16GB of LPDDR4 RAM and up to a 512GB PCIe SSD, which is upgradable. The laptop also features a USB Type-C port with Thunderbolt 3 and Wi-Fi 6. Features borrowed from the previous generation include a customizable, single-zone RGB backlit keyboard, an infrared camera for Windows Hello, and a glass trackpad.
Even with all this power, Razer has managed to keep the chassis depth at just 15mm, and the laptop weighs around 1.3kg. The models with the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 will be available in two display options. The full-HD model has a matte or anti-reflective treatment for the display and features Intel’s Low Power Display Technology (LPDT) for better battery life. The 4K display model will have a glass panel with touch support. Both display types are said to cover 100 percent of the sRGB color gamut and have a matte black finish for the chassis.
