I bought one of these as soon as they came out and I absolutely love it. I'm definitely in their target market with this device -- someone who likes to travel around to work (remote worker) who wants some decent GPU performance for casual gaming. This is as close to the perfect laptop that exists for someone like me.
hows the battery life for you? im thinking of getting this for school since i do a lot of editing + digital art stuffs and like to game casually as well! my school days are around 6 hours btw
@@whoamiwhatyearisit2262 I think for basic school duty it will easily last 6 hours. I tend to watch a lot of video on mine so it's probably closer to 5 hours on average.
Huge props for showing the power brick. I can't tell you how many reviewers overlook this important detail when reviewing a PORTABLE gaming laptop. Liked & Subbed.
exactly. some reviewers fall into that "youtuber template" videos. BTW, I wonder how heavy it is. I think it might be a deal breaker for traveling with it abroad...

Finally! a Dedicated card in a 13...... I thought the day would never come besides the Surface book 2.... This is a useable unit, game, edit and all small and portable. I will be buying one as soon as I free up some duckies
@@MatthewMoniz I think everyone would notice 1-2ghz. You are seeing just terrible performance here. Hardware Canucks did a good review of this laptop you might want to check out for more perspective on the cpu performance
Great review! I've waited a long time for something like this. Bought it as soon as it came out. Absolutely love it. The lower clock speeds at full load haven't been a problem at all. One thing you forgot to mention Matt is USB-C charging. I use it with a Thunderbolt 3 dock at home, it's so nice being able to just plug in the one cable.
Thanks Matt! Great name haha. I mentioned USB type c charging when I was showing the ports. I said power delivery. Glad you’re enjoying it! It’s a sweet little fire cracker !
It makes no sense to have a higher refresh rate on this setup. Most games will run closer to 60 than 100+, so what's the point? A higher refresh rate would also reduce battery life. This is a very niche product. It's for people who travel and require the slimmest possible footprint while still being able casually play most games at medium settings.
Does everyone who buy these forget about the polish cloth that comes with the laptops? I use mine every other day to while the prints off no problem. I find it satisfying taking care of my baby
I type a lot and the shift key was driving me crazy. So in pretty short order I remapped the right shift and up arrow keys and then swapped the key caps. Viola! All taken care of.
You're probably right, especially when you consider that it's lighter, thinner, and the power brick is more portable. That said, games like Diablo 3 are just barely playable on the previous gen setup (I know because I have one), whereas, this new one would provide a substantial performance boost and make gaming more viable on the go. Someone needs to make a performance comparison video to show the true difference.
I can see why it's priced so high. Razer is pretty much the only tech company to even have a 13 inch GAMING laptop. They can price it as high as they want. Once competitors catch up, we will literally get what we have all been waiting for: Portability and performance that doesn't break the bank too much. This laptop is a stepping stone and I'm hella excited for what's to come.
I'm sorry what? So if you want to use the full capabilities of the laptop, the CPU can't even remain cool enough to operate at base? WTF? that's not an acceptable cooling solution. This shouldn't even be on sale.
It's a U series processor they never run at full load consistently compared to the H series. Also the tasks I'm showing are mostly benchmarks most people don't use their comptuers like that.
@somn blase stealth 13 isn't a gaming laptop for hardcore gamers it's a gamer laptop for professionals who wants power into small size (think about photo editors on the go who wants to edit his shots during his travel...).
This laptop is exactly what I need. But, I bought XPS 15 as a light but powerful laptop, just last month. This one seems much more powerful especially because of better thermals.
🙋 Hello Matthew, I really liked your review of the razer blade stealth 2019. And it made me want to buy it now, but I have the doubt if it works well in the virtualization of operating systems. I don't know what the performance is when virtualizing using VirtualBox. My job as a developer demands that I use that application and I'm from Peru so I will have to import the equipment and I don't want to make a bad decision. Please. Help me. 🙏🙏 I would be very helpful if you tell me what the performance in virtualization is. Thank you.
it is actually the cheapest option around here currently, if you consider and require the following: - GTX1650 - USB-C charging - min 16GB ram only maybe latest Dell XPS 15 is cheaper when on sale, but i had the unfortunate experience with this in the past, and their chassis has been the same for years with horrific heat management :/
I always feel when gawking at the wishes for this laptop, that if you really admire the quality performance + body of the Stealth, YOU WILL BUY the Stealth at no matter the cost.
why is everyone blinded by this razor brand when there is an equal if not amazing laptop MSI prestige 14 which 1 inch bigger in screen size and has a 6 core CPU U series with 1650
I have this laptop, I honestly liked the 2017 chassis better. Better connection options better keyboard layout. I do like the way the keyboard feels but the layout honestly sucks. I'm not going back to razer unless they fix the layout. Professionals like me who want the build quality and dont care about the gaming ability would like an option from razer
Hey man great video Do you have any idea about surface book 3, about its launch. I was waiting for SB3 for about 5 months and there wasn’t a single mention of it in event and I really have no clue right now whether to get a laptop or wait. Any answer would be helpful
Not a big fan of Razer's bulky power brick. Can I use one of those Apple's Macbook Pro power adapter? I've been searching a powerful laptop in a small formfactor for ages. This could be my next laptop.
I’m looking at one of these for college as well as a new upgrade to my gaming laptop I have already, my old one is fine other than a broken battery and the fact it’s so big I have to have a super large backpack to house it, so I’m hoping maybe this could be light enough to have at college but still strong enough to play games with the graphics booster
The MacBook Pro 13 (28W edition) has a way faster CPU when under 100% load since it practically stays above 2.8 GHz all the time. Throttling below 2GHz is a joke. Not even the Ice Lake/Sunny Cove IPC increase can save it.
I have Razer mice and they break after a few years. That's why I wonder about their laptops.... I just wanted an HP Spectre X360 with a dedicated GFX, but...I guess there is none in 13" size :\ [my previous X360 held up for 5 years pretty well].....
How did you get 5 hours of battery life? I put mine in best battery mode on windows, turn of keyboard lights, and have brightness at less than 50 and only get like 2 hours on chrome doing stuff like RUclips or twitch with 3 tabs open. I also have windows mail open in background but that’s it
Ok idk what’s with tech reviewers or whatever, but man every time someone talks about the razerblade 13 they film it at an angle that makes you think it’s not that tiny. Maybe it’s cuz of their cameras and whatever shooting angle they’re using. But bruh, I went to go see this thing at a store and it is TEENY like it’s chrome book size wtf I was shook lmao
You said you were getting ~5 hours of battery life; what percent brightness were you using? Researching this device's battery life has been confusing. Some reviewers say 7 or 8 hours with this 1650 model, some say 5-6. Also, do you think a 2020 refresh is coming soon like the blade 15's you just previewed (keyboard revision, rtx super, Type-C charging etc), i.e. should I wait? The G14 is dope under the hood, but I love the premium black macbook-esque unibody design. Great content btw.
Great review! I have the laptop and I am trying to figure out what is going on with the cpu as well. I noticed that some benchmarks are not working well with the cpu. As soon as I open CPUZ or cinebench the cpu clocks go under 2 ghz. When I ran cinebench with throttlestop tools on the clocks went back to normal and I got an score over 750, just like other laptops with the 10th gen cpu. I hope Razer releases an update to fix it. You mentioned in the comments that you are talking to Razer about it. Did they acknowledge the problem?
What exactly was running for the battery test? I’m a pharmacy student who wants a laptop that can be a great ultrabook by day and pretty good gaming notebook by night. I’m hoping for 7 hours of use, so ,between word and RUclips, can this laptop do 7 hours?
I am very very disappointed with Razer. I have the RBS MX150 2019 early model bought on December 2018 and I had lots of issues: battery, power management, loose usb-c ports, sound crackling. Their support is poor at best. It took 1 month to be accepted for repairs and over 1 month to repair it. No feedback from them during this time. It is still in repair shop. Stay away from Razer. With these money buy something more reasonable and save some money.
Matthew Moniz thanks! Great review. Now the last question. Would it be better to have the HMDI adaptor in the thunderbolt or USBC? Or does the power cable determine that because it has to be plugged into the USBC?
hey !!.. matthew.........i want to buy one plus 7t pro,but i'm little bit worry about that, is the phone is really water resistant or not like the previous ones,please can do a water test for one plus 7t pro,please
Great video! I'm currently looking to get a new laptop, and have been looking at the Razer Blade Stealth 13, but the Mercury White with 16gb ram and only Intel Iris plus graphics. I'm really focused on a good keyboard, trackpad, and battery life. this seem like a good purchase?
Ya the more I think about it the cpu performance is not acceptable and it’s not performing the way it should. I’m actually speaking to razer about it. Some reviews the cpu speed is fine others like mine is poor. There’s obviously an optimization issue. I’m going to release another video once it’s all figured out
@@MatthewMoniz Thanks Matt, I was wondering this myself and for this amount of money the configuration doesn't seem to be optimized properly. Still looking and beginning to look at 13" 2-in-1's but no decision so far as the new CPU is starting to show up in these configurations.
*REMEMBER* guys! ... Razer laptops become problematic just within a year. Many reviewers deliberately skip this part due to ad/sponsorhip. *you've been warned*
@@MatthewMoniz I don't know about their laptops but I do know that their software for mouse , keyboard and headsets are crap . Cuz they never worked PROPERLY for me . Too glitchy and synaps for headset is way too glitchy for that reason I don't think their software for headset should exist at all . (It's not only me , my friends had that same issue as well)
The MSI prestige 14 is the better buy, it has the better CPU option for a better price. If you are getting the same CPU as the razor you're talkin $600 in savings. it looks better and the larger screen is almost the same footprint as the razor
to be honest . I don't know how they can manage to have the battery life for 13 hours . I can't barely last 5 hours on just streaming videos ,not even gaming .
@@MatthewMoniz thank you! Do you think that 720p gaming would look acceptable on blade 13? I'm afraid that 1650maxq is a bit weak for 1080p gaming. Cheers.
@@MatthewMoniz I knew it was something, there's been very limited reviews on the new m15/m17 line up which is unusual for a popular laptop when released. At any rate thanks for the response, appreciate the content and I look forward to your laptops and phones of the year list!!!

So just to confirm, you can charge the laptop as well as output to HDMI at the same time because of the two USBC/Thunderbolt ports?
Yup!
Matthew Moniz thanks! Great review. Now the last question. Would it be better to have the HMDI adaptor in the thunderbolt or USBC? Or does the power cable determine that because it has to be plugged into the USBC?
Best review so far. Thank you
Is it possible for you to make a comparison between the new hp omen 17 and new acer helios 300?
Is this worth it over the 16inch macbook pro?
Please be honest. What is the best laptop with the best thermals under heavy load and and quiet fans? Using it for light gaming and projects.
I think it is the razer blade stealth, I really liked the MAG 15 for the Power, but the noise...
Great videos man. I just love them
Thanks man that means a lot!
hey !!.. matthew.........i want to buy one plus 7t pro,but i'm little bit worry about that, is the phone is really water resistant or not like the previous ones,please can do a water test for one plus 7t pro,please
Great video! I'm currently looking to get a new laptop, and have been looking at the Razer Blade Stealth 13, but the Mercury White with 16gb ram and only Intel Iris plus graphics. I'm really focused on a good keyboard, trackpad, and battery life. this seem like a good purchase?
Get the previous model with mx150 instead
@@MatthewMoniz thank you so much for the input my guy! I'll look into it!
So you haven't used the Alienware 13r3 ?, that's the reason why you said the RBS is the most powerful 13" laptop
If I can get it in Mercury White, I will change it from my MBP
Like every other Razer notebook the Mercury White is only!! available in the lower configurations!!
How does it compare to the MX150 tho? Is the 1650 better than the 150?
is this the 6 core i7
How does it handle real time audio? Any latency mon results out there?
I don't understand why you'd buy this instead of an x1e or XPS 15. The CPU is holding it back like crazy
Ya the more I think about it the cpu performance is not acceptable and it’s not performing the way it should. I’m actually speaking to razer about it. Some reviews the cpu speed is fine others like mine is poor. There’s obviously an optimization issue. I’m going to release another video once it’s all figured out
@@MatthewMoniz Thanks Matt, I was wondering this myself and for this amount of money the configuration doesn't seem to be optimized properly. Still looking and beginning to look at 13" 2-in-1's but no decision so far as the new CPU is starting to show up in these configurations.
does it have touch screen functionality?
*REMEMBER* guys! ... Razer laptops become problematic just within a year. Many reviewers deliberately skip this part due to ad/sponsorhip.
*you've been warned*
No ad or sponsorship here and that's a pretty bold statement to say all razer laptops are problematic
@@MatthewMoniz I don't know about their laptops but I do know that their software for mouse , keyboard and headsets are crap . Cuz they never worked PROPERLY for me . Too glitchy and synaps for headset is way too glitchy for that reason I don't think their software for headset should exist at all . (It's not only me , my friends had that same issue as well)
Pretty easy fix if you’re worried buy from Best Buy with a 3 year warranty and you’re set my dude.
*i love the background of ur videos* 🤩
Thanks man !
is this good for architecture rendering use?
The MSI prestige 14 is the better buy, it has the better CPU option for a better price. If you are getting the same CPU as the razor you're talkin $600 in savings. it looks better and the larger screen is almost the same footprint as the razor
I'm going to get one in. I need to test it out
Can you review that wireless razer viper you were using?
How about MSI GF63 9th gen, Or Legion Y540 9th gen??
to be honest . I don't know how they can manage to have the battery life for 13 hours .
I can't barely last 5 hours on just streaming videos ,not even gaming .
Haha!!! That intro was great!
Can your use a keyboard and mouse
"I purposely didn't clean it."
I told that line to my gf last night.
Haha
LMAO
You pig
what chroma profile name that gets various static colors will stop on the razer chroma 13.3 keyboard or how to do it?
can a 61W or 96W apple power adapter charge that blade?
Yup!
How much does the powerbrick weigh?
Could you compare it to MSI prestige 14 1650maxQ? it has 1.29kgs
Yes working on getting a unit stay tuned !
@@MatthewMoniz thank you! Do you think that 720p gaming would look acceptable on blade 13? I'm afraid that 1650maxq is a bit weak for 1080p gaming. Cheers.
I'm european, never use the right shift key, not gonna be an issue for us
I can't find no full reviews on the Alienware m17 top spec laptop. Will you be the guy to complete the task?
Dells afraid to send me laptops to review. They don't like when I give them bad reviews due to overheating lol but ill keep trying
@@MatthewMoniz I knew it was something, there's been very limited reviews on the new m15/m17 line up which is unusual for a popular laptop when released.
At any rate thanks for the response, appreciate the content and I look forward to your laptops and phones of the year list!!!
Like always... greatttttttttttttt review 👍👌
Thank you so much!! Have an awesome weekend ♥️
@@MatthewMoniz Thanks Matt, same to you.. Have fun!!!
Right now it’s only 1,099.99$ right now on the razor site
Hey guys anyone tell me is the charger 100 to 240 volts
will this work on a plane?
Could I play overwatch at around 60fps consistent on it?
Never mind I watched the video lol
I use the left shift key
2:30 the right what??
The right shift key
Harganya berapa ?
Hardware Canucks said in their video about the Stealth that it is weaker than the last model in matter of performance... Any thoughts on that?
Cpu performance yes, gpu performance no. Also there might be bug with cpu performance. We are trying to figure it out. I’ll be putting out an update video once it’s fixed
@@MatthewMoniz Thanks for the quick answer, keep up the great work! #NewSub
Can i game with it?.
