@Choco Boi I feel like people buy these when they want a productivity device that could also game on the side. People will look at you weird if you carry around a Predator Helios to work/school.
@@JarrodsTech I've also been holding off buying a new laptop due to CES (in case something that really sparks my interest comes up), while looking for light high performance laptops. Usually it takes a month or two after CES for these laptops to be released, right? Looking forward to your coverage of it :D
Watching this on the same model in this video, and so far I'm loving the heck out of this little thing. Price was steep, but was able to get it $400 off, which by then makes it a very good buy for a do-all ultrabook, that runs all the games I play very well. Great review, was waiting to see you have a look at this Jarrod!
Hey its been a year since u commented so I wanted to know how the laptop is holding up? The 2020 model with 120hz seems interesting but it worries me that if anything were to happen to the laptop, getting it fixed is gonna be a pain cuz theres no service centers where i live, and sending the laptop away for weeks is just annoying
@@rhazzzz Oh that's fine, lol. Uh, so far it seems to be doing well so far. I use it relatively lightly due to my system comprising of a Desktop and Laptop, but for what I need to do with it, it's held up very well. Stability seems pretty good - hardly get a Blue Screen on it, and the gaming I do now and then seems fine (I mean I play older games on it if I do anyway so it's to be expected). Only thing I would say but it hasn't bothered me at all is that there is a very, VERY faint coil whine since the day I got it - but it's only when I literally put my ear on the keyboard (who tf does that anyway?) even then, it's barely noticeable. The 120Hz version should have 25W by default so it should perform a bit better, but I'm aware it has worse battery life. And speaking of that, my Razer can get around 7-8 hours if I'm light on it, even with slight battery wear. I'm still a little bummed that Razer hasn't posted an update to Synapse/BIOS to switch to 25W however. I would say the Tiger Lake one would be a better option over the Ice Lake when it comes to using the CPU, but if you want to gaming on it, go with the Mid-2020 if you don't care about the CPU performance.
@@ourshatteredlegacies5715 thanks for the very detailed explanation! I’m simply going to be using it for college and gaming, probably some league, apex, overwatch, stuff like that. I’m still not sure whether to get a 15 inch gaming laptop with rtx or get sth like the stealth that’s really portable. I dont think the tiger lake is worth it cuz it barely gives any extra fps in game, and where i live it costs so much more than the 2020 ver. i’ll have to think about it a bit more but thanks for the answer, definitely helped a lot. If anything goes wrong with ur blade, let me know if u can!
Great review. The only one that I've seen that mentioned how disabling the Nvidia GPU boosts the CPU from 15w to 25w - therefore making it on par with the creative edition which has no dedicated GPU and the CPU is permanently clocked to 25w.
Thanks for answering all my questions in this video. Recently ordered it and was worried about the gimped tdp on the cpu. Nice to hear it runs in 25w together with egpu as this is how I will use it most of the time :) Very happy with my decision now, this is however my first Razer. Bought one despite all the negative reviews on quality of previous models and the lackluster support department at Razer. I live in sweden thought so I dont have to deal with that, thank good. Retailer handles all support. Its kind of weird that they get away with marketing this as having a boost clock of 3.9ghz.
@@JarrodsTech Yea I noticed :) So there are a few noticeable bugs. One problem with the laptop itself is getting the trackpad to work after doing a fresh install on a new SSD. I made a reddit thread for this because I think I finally found the solution. I hope it will help others. The biggest issue imo is that the battery life after installing egpu drivers is slashed to less then half. Without egpu ever connected from fresh install windows happily reports around 9-10 hours of use. After egpu though, its struggling to even get 2 hours. This appears to be a bug after installing several nvidia drivers... or something. I found a guide on how to fix it by using the DDU to clean and then use the extracted cuda package to install both the dgpu and egpu with the same driver, but it did nothing. Secondly, egpu "works" pretty ok. However, there seems to be some issues running with the screen closed. I get pretty severe stutters (noticeable when moving windows around for example), this is not an issue with the laptop screen open though. It helps to undock/dock with the screen closed to get rid of some of the microstutters. Its also inconsistent over several monitors, one stutters, the other does not etc. I'm currently in the process of testing out games, and I have not yet done any undervolting. Need to read up a bit on it before I test.
Nice timing. Just bought this laptop since it was on sale on my end to downsize my current setup. Interested with the eGPU options now to see how the 15w TDP would bottleneck the external options. So far this seems best in class as you don't find other 13 inch laptops with 1650MQ.
for Overwatch fps testing, I'd recommend you to use replay feature from Quick play or competitive, due to the Practice Range is not fully load the GPU performance, only 6v6 battle result is more reliable
Can I copy the replay to other machines and retest it? If not then I'm not going to do it as I need to reproduce the test sequence on every machine I test.
Thanks for the excellent breakdown on this Laptop! Helped me decide to grab one on sale. Also, thumbs up on the metal shirts! - Looks like you a a fan of Melodic Death Metal! Two albums from 2019 I strongly recommend in this genre are "Disillusion - The Liberation" and "Lunarsea - Earthling/Terrestre" Excellent songwriting on both albums that put them well above your average melo-death in my opinion.
@@JarrodsTech Nice! The Disillusion is definitely more on the mid-paced proggy/epic side of the spectrum while Lunarsea is on the more aggressive side. Hope you enjoy, stay metal!
Thanks, I've done some in the past, honestly most people are here for the laptops and time spent towards other things usually doesn't provide good results, just the way of the RUclips world unfortunately.
Happy new year jarrod! This review is great! A egpu test would be cool, but its prob similar performance to other laptops. Would love to see more coverage of other gaming laptops/pc hardware!
Is *Acer Predator Helios 300* I7 9750H and GTX 1660ti a future proof laptop? I mean can i play all games at low medium settings till 2025? Anyway a happy new year Jarrod.
Nothing is future proof, but for the money you can pay today I'd expect it to hold up well. 2025 is quite a long way off, I suspect by then you'd want an upgrade for modern games, but who knows.
Thank you for including Video Export on your video. This is helpful for a gamer/content creator like me. By the way, how many minutes is the 4k video? Can you also put the minutes. It's hard to compute lol
Awesome review, thank you, special thanks as always for AUD pricing. I decided to cough up the extra and went the touch 4K, absolutely loving it. Best laptop I’ve owned, I know there are better however for ease of travelling whilst away from my desktop 9900K, it’s perfect.
Great review. You think you can try the Prestige 14 and see how it compares to this vs the 15.6 inch version? It seems like the Prestige 14 is the only competitor to the Razer Blade at least in terms of specs in a compact laptop.
@@JarrodsTech Awesome thanks. A couple of CPU and GPU benchmarks with undervolted CPU would be awesome too. Despite the worse thermals, after liquid metal repaste + undervolting, a guy on reddit had cinebench scores pretty close to your undervolted 15'6 bench, so I'm curious how no repaste affects the results. Assuming that you don't repaste, of course.
Know that the European version of this laptop has a full size enter key ❤ I have this laptop. Most games runs in 900p 60fps with high settings x2 AA. With this smal screen 900p is more then enough for me. 1080p will go high settings if shadows are on normal in most games with no AA runs 60fps. Best LAPTOP i ever owned.
Thanks for the in-depth review, I appreciate the efforts! Also, this is the first video I've seen mentioning that turning off the GPU _does_ affect CPU performance - that's something I was wondering about, myself.
Owner Review: Stealth 1650gtx + Razer Core X Chroma. I have returned the Core X Chroma due to USB disconnections and continual restart to connect display issues. The currently available drivers (DEC19) were not able to address the issues. The undersize shift key on the right side is a damn nuisance for me personally and may impact other typists or programmers. With that said I'm enjoying the hell out of my 1650 model and is a perfect balance of portability, battery life, and power. Note: The charger is larger than I expected for a laptop this size. The 15.6" MSI GS65 & GB Aero OLED15 are valid albeit larger alternatives. They present a cheaper + more powerfull package with better connectivity and comparable battery life. The weight of these devices is at least 50% more brick included. If you have a decent desktop but want the flexibility for LAN parties I recommend the 13"1650. If this is your only computer look elsewhere as power has its limits and upgrades are limited for this device. Example: Razer forums suggest replacement of the 512gb m.2 for more storage will void the warranty. New Games CODMW are 165GB. Retail price is significant so getting this on discount was essential to justify my purchase. I have a poorish experience with razer peripherals so my purchase included an additional warranty for 3Years. Price AUD2624. Hope this helps :)
Please look into all the battery issues that razer refuses to deal with. All reviewers including you are always positive about these machines (logically, because short term such issues dont pop up) in the end marketing these machines. But a large chunk of customers have laptops failing just after a year mark thanks to their very very low quality batteries made by BYD (no others laptop manufacturer makes use of these) and no major party calls them out .The user base is too small as well (they sell about 55000 Stealths a year only and the 17 pro 2017 didnt even break the 1000 mark). It would help to have a major reviewer looking into these issues. Also happy 2020!
I get to these out for two weeks at a time before sending them back, long term testing is not something I currently have the capability of doing. Larger channels would as they seem to keep them. Unfortunate but there the way it goes. Happy new year to you too!
@@JarrodsTech unfortunately they arent really forthcoming when it coems to pointing out flaws. Reddit is filled with these issues and about 25 cases a month are registered with batteries that start to bloat after a mere year of use. To put it in perspective they only sell about 55000 units a year of the Stealth series. So their sales number arent that great either. So the issues are quite widespread.
Love the 4K. Battrey life is excellent, 8+ hours. Menu icons are very small on Adobe Photoshop and 6D embroidery design software, but I have which of these small menu items memorized from decades of use. Increasing images for editing in both software programs is very doable. No problems so far. Sound quality from keyboard speakers is very good, as I watched some basketball games as I sewed. Razer Stealth 13 inch is well built, like my mini Razer Advanced 15 inch model. Heavy enough and still new enough to carry between rooms with both hands. Mercury white , I believe, has only 256 GB SSD, I opted for 512 GB SSD to house all my files on each Razer laptop and also all files backed up on OneDrive. I read that the Mercury White model has 1080 resolution which is supposed be fine for gaming and was on sale for about $1500. Go for it.
@TheAllstarProStar Haven't used this laptop for extended period since last month's post. Will try to replicate and advise later. Describe your use case, please.
Hi! Appreciate your reviews thoroughly. With this having dropped to $1500 and for someone that: predominantly plays Overwatch (amongst other Blizzard titles that aren’t graphically demanding), and that appreciates the small form factor, would you recommend this laptop? Is the 60hz screen a dealbreaker? Is gaming on a 13 in screen regrettable? Also, would you be concerned about Razer refreshing their 13 inch line anytime soon? I also have my eye on the MAG-15 but that’s a whole different class of laptops, considering screen size and portability.
If you really need the smaller form factor and don't mind paying more, yes, but you can get a more powerful 15" with high refresh rate which will be a nicer experience for that money, so comes down to how much you want the higher refresh rate. Given this has 10th gen already I can't imagine they would refresh it soon, there are new Nvidia graphics next month but I'm not aware what options they will have.
Hey Jarrod, Great review. I couldn't find these displayed anywhere in Melbourne. Thinking of buying through Razer's website just based on your review. A few things if you don't mind answering: This laptop comes with a 100w adapter, will it be enough to power a monitor? Even when the adapter is not attached? Speaking of monitors, if the laptop has 60hz refresh rate, can I attach a 144hz monitor to it via TB and play games on 144hz on the monitor? And finally, could this be a good day-to-day laptop? Given that this has lower powered cpu. Also would you consider switching to this as your main laptop even when you're travelling? Hope you could answer and make it easier for me. Thanks :)
Thanks! I've heard people suggest buying through the Microsoft store, apparently better support? But not sure never tried either myself. I don't actually know, think it's just display out, would still need to power the monitor with its own power source? Or is this some monitor that gets powered over Type-C? In any case not sure, have never had one like that to test with. Yes you can play games on an external monitor with higher refresh rate, just don't expect much better performance with the 1650 Max-Q. I think it would be good for those tasks if you travel a lot and wand some level of power. Personally though, I need to edit a lot of 4K video so I'd have no issue spending similar money on a much more powerful 15" laptop that's not too much bigger. That said I do also have a 12.5" Xiaomi Air for quick trips.
In my opinion, fps is very important. And looking at the ASUS tuf laptops I personally think it’s a steal with 120 hertz. And seeing this thing with only 60 is crazy to me for the price
happy new year jarrod and community! keep the great work! i see the notebooks on other places on internet and search on your channel to view a quality and complete review!
Hey Jarrod. In your opinion, which one between Razer Stealth 13 and MSI Prestide 15 (both with i7 and GTX1650) is better for content creators? I'm in Australia and I need to decide between one of the two. Thanks
I subscribed to your channel a while back. And I'm interested in the eGPU reviews. Notebookcheck already did one with the Aorus Gaming Box with the RTX 2070. It has better performance than the GTX 10 series cards with eGPU, but still can only game at High settings. So I'm willing to bet that Thunderbolt 3 + eGPU will probably work best with the RTX 30 series cards. In terms of this, impressive performance for a 13" ultrabook. If only they made it slightly bigger for expandable RAM, it would be perfect.
Hi Jared. I’m in Australia too and looking for a 13” I can travel and game on. My Dell 7300 isn’t cutting it. Would you recommend this or wait for the Zephyrus G14 and wear the extra inch?
Happy New Year ! Firstly, you are doing great videos. I just find your channel, and watched most of your works. Anyway, I am looking for a middle class gaming laptop like gtx 1650. And I stuck with MSI, Asus, and Dell. I found some videos about Asus fx505 dt and DU version in your channel but I could not find any good videos about MSI GL65-9SC neither on your channel nor all the youtube. So, I was wondering that, could you able to do review Msı GL65, please ?
Thanks! It's really hard for me to answer as I haven't tested all that many with the 1650 to fairly compare. I've been trying to get GL laptops from MSI for months, they finally sent the GL75 so hopefully the 15 inch versions happen too, would be a while away though as I'm currently on a plane to CES for a week
Jarrod'sTech I get it. And what do you think about Asus Rog strix series ? I also find Asus Rog Strix G g531GT model. It has gtx 1650 again :). Probably, I’m going to buy it because it has a discount right now. But I would like to hear what you think about it. (I know I’m asking a lot, I’m sorry 😐 )
Can you please do multiple tests with the External Enclosure, I am very interested to see the differences between Native (CPU based) Thunderbolt 3 PCIE lanes and non-native PCH Thunderbolt 3 PCIE lanes. Also EGPU testing with an External Monitor and with the built in Monitor during each type of test. With and without iGPU and/or 1650 disabled in Device manager Maybe go with an RTX 2060 Super for eGPU. If you're really into it, maybe compare with Aorus and ROG EGPU's, Although hard to match CPU's, the proprietary Direct hardware connection (4 CPU lanes) EGPU by Alienware. I expect around double the FPS using the CPU directly for PCIE lanes.
Great video, as usual Jarrod. Would love to see the benchmarks with an external GPU tested with the built-in display and an external monitor. Also with the CPU at 15 and 25 watts. Can't find this done anywhere and the only reason I'm looking at one. Cheers buddy
@@bradhaines3142 I get your point, but an ultrabook is a must have. And if there's a way to not have 2 setups, that'd be ideal. It would be nice to walk in, plug in the laptop and get close-to desktop performance out of a GPU then I'm a happy camper.
Hey jarrod, The price of this stealth and 15inch 2018 1070 version are the same in where i live. Have a hard time deciding which one to get, need expert opinion
Wait, the power limit changes when the 1650 is disabled? This is huge for eGPU performance. I haven't seen ANYONE mention that yet. Have you been able to test that yet?
The MX150 is arguably the better option. The 1650 will drain the battery faster all the time for the odd time you actually need to use it, and 4K is just overkill. Razer, if you’re listening - *drop down to 1440 or 1600p*. If you switched to a 16:10 screen ratio too you’d have a genuine Mac killer on your hands. It’s almost there.
My next laptop will be a 13" or 14" that has at minimum a 2060 or 1660ti. Hope to see one this year. Currently on the15 inch Zephyrus S GX531 and it's OK, but I miss my 14 inch GS43VR. It had the 1060 in it, but it realy was a nice little laptop. It wasn't really well designed, and I had a battery on it nearly explode (swelled up and blew the keyboard upward) by running it in desktop config for a couple of weeks with poor airflow over the keyboard, which is why I think they haven't tried to shove high powered GPUs into the 13" and 14" designs since then. I hope that they can do it right this year, at least one of them.
As somebody that is entertaining the idea of replacing a desktop with a laptop and egpu, I would love to see some reliable benchmark numbers on this config
May I ask what you used to undervolt the cpu? Tried installing Intels XTU however Icelake is not supported. Did you use the workaround to force install or did you use something else, like Throttlestop?
I want a computer that is small to take everywhere, I am looking at the Razer Blade Stealth 1650 Ti and the Asus Rog G14 which you think is better, since you have the RAZER BLADE STEALTH it is of good quality never gave you problems many comments come out negatives about Razer laptops
Hey Bro, can you review a certain laptop? It is the Asus Zenbook 15 UX534FTC. It is a laptop I am thinking of getting and I would like to see how well it performs as well as if it can run games. If you could that would be amazing.
Jarrod, you may like giving a look to the Lenovo Ideapad Flex 14 or C340 with the Ryzen 3700u. You can boost the power limit of the processor to 35W with Ryzen Controller and it's basically a MX250 on-board graphics . Caviat is that the 3700u version comes with 8GB of ram (6 only available to the CPU) , but it is possible to upgrade to 12 or 20GB (The 3500u version is 12GB while there's a 20GB version with the 3700u, but it's too expensive).
You said this has latency issues, do you think this laptop is capable as an audio production laptop? Can I record via extrrnal output or is that not recommended?
Honestly, I cannot say. I have no experience testing latencymon on desktops so don't really know the difference. Additionally, all I'm doing is running latencymon at the request of people that find this information useful, I have no personal experience with audio production so I can't really say, sorry.
very interesting to see this in a small 13" case Probably in a few months or a year and the next gen Intels, with a decent iGPU, its time to replace my 2010 MacBook Pro 15" with such a nice thing, hopefully with OLED screens then How about the keyboard on the Razer Notebooks? Thats one of the top reasons i still use my 2010 MBP, superb keyboard and touchpad, nothing else was ever comparable.
2080ti is too much for any eGPU. tb3 just cant do that much bandwidth, honestly anything above a 1060 6gb gets bottlenecked, so if what you have is above that its worthless. and at prices of eGPUs, just buy a goddam desktop
Does it really require you to curse? People have their reasons and needs that are different than others. Desktop performance at home and pack up the laptop for travel... the whole point of a eGPU.. Grow up...
hey jarrod would it be possible to see the video you hinted at twelve min. thirty with this pc and not the lower power graphics card? i like to compare it to the XPS when used in conjunction Smith an EGPU....thanks a lot
Unfortunately I didn't have time to get the testing done to the degree I wanted before needing to return the machine :( sorry. I will have more eGPU testing soon.
@@JarrodsTech Oww thats a shame, well then ill sub and hope to see it soon. By the way I must just say that your videos are some of the most detailed and comprehensive videos I’ve ever seen. Awesome content
What specs? If same then depends if you want to pay more for thinner Zephyrus / if you want to undervolt manually yourself as the Helios does that by default
Now this is a laptop. It may actually pull me into the market. It seems if I really want a 144hz 13 inch I may be waiting a bit. I feel like a dying breed liking small laptops. (that can game at least) Can the m.2 be changed/expanded?
Hey mate happy new year i would ask you if you recommend this laptop please? ASUS G731GW-H6278 Intel Core i7 9750H 2600 MHz/17.3"/1920x1080/16GB/1512GB SSD/NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070/Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/ (90NR01Q1-M06010)
I copy all the games from my Nas over the network to the laptop, delete after each game copy next etc. Yes it takes a while, I work on other videos while other machines copy.
Hey there, i need advice. For hardcore gaming + streaming usage, which one do you recommend HP Pavilion Gaming 15 ( i7-9750H - GTX 1650 ) or MSI Alpha 15 ( Ryzen 7 - 3750H + RX 5500M ) ??
1650 seems hard to justify when the 1660 Ti is about 50% better for often not too much more money. The i7 dominates the 3750h, but the 5500m does best the 1650. In the end depends on the games you're playing ideally I wouldn't pick between either, an i5 and 1660Ti would be best if both worlds
Razer needs to knock it off with that right shift key. Touch typists everywhere shudder at the prospect of trying to use it and screwing up their work.
Hmm, you should be able to do it alright yeah, might need to transcode 4K to 720p proxies (heck I do that on my Threadripper workstation too for Premiere).
Happy 2020! 🥳

Retailer handles all support.
Its kind of weird that they get away with marketing this as having a boost clock of 3.9ghz.
Let us know how it goes! Yeah every laptop is marketed by Intel boost clock speed, just the way it works so definitely ignore that.
@@JarrodsTech Yea I noticed :)
So there are a few noticeable bugs.
One problem with the laptop itself is getting the trackpad to work after doing a fresh install on a new SSD.
I made a reddit thread for this because I think I finally found the solution. I hope it will help others.
The biggest issue imo is that the battery life after installing egpu drivers is slashed to less then half.
Without egpu ever connected from fresh install windows happily reports around 9-10 hours of use.

This appears to be a bug after installing several nvidia drivers... or something.

Secondly, egpu "works" pretty ok. However, there seems to be some issues running with the screen closed. I get pretty severe stutters (noticeable when moving windows around for example), this is not an issue with the laptop screen open though.
It helps to undock/dock with the screen closed to get rid of some of the microstutters. Its also inconsistent over several monitors, one stutters, the other does not etc.
I'm currently in the process of testing out games, and I have not yet done any undervolting. Need to read up a bit on it before I test.
Nice timing. Just bought this laptop since it was on sale on my end to downsize my current setup. Interested with the eGPU options now to see how the 15w TDP would bottleneck the external options. So far this seems best in class as you don't find other 13 inch laptops with 1650MQ.
I just got back from CES, so will get to work on the eGPU test soon 👍👍
for Overwatch fps testing, I'd recommend you to use replay feature from Quick play or competitive, due to the Practice Range is not fully load the GPU performance, only 6v6 battle result is more reliable
Can I copy the replay to other machines and retest it? If not then I'm not going to do it as I need to reproduce the test sequence on every machine I test.
I could really use this for a new year, happy new year fam!
Happy new year to you too 🥳
Happy new year man!
I wish you that more laptops will be sent to you for more reviews.
Thanks, happy new year to you too!
Hey! Came here for a laptop review, found that you had an Insomnium Winter's Gate shirt!
Super cool man, thanks for the awesome review!
🤘🤘
Thanks for the excellent breakdown on this Laptop! Helped me decide to grab one on sale. Also, thumbs up on the metal shirts! - Looks like you a a fan of Melodic Death Metal! Two albums from 2019 I strongly recommend in this genre are "Disillusion - The Liberation" and "Lunarsea - Earthling/Terrestre" Excellent songwriting on both albums that put them well above your average melo-death in my opinion.
Cheers 🤘 cool listening to both albums now, half way through the first.
@@JarrodsTech Nice! The Disillusion is definitely more on the mid-paced proggy/epic side of the spectrum while Lunarsea is on the more aggressive side. Hope you enjoy, stay metal!
great way to start 2020 :3
I hope we will reach 500K subs +
maybe u should also review on mouse and keyboards ??? or other accessories .
Bardan Malla I like that idea, and great job Jarrod!
Thanks, I've done some in the past, honestly most people are here for the laptops and time spent towards other things usually doesn't provide good results, just the way of the RUclips world unfortunately.
@@JarrodsTech ohh okay man good luck
Happy new year jarrod! This review is great!
A egpu test would be cool, but its prob similar performance to other laptops.
Would love to see more coverage of other gaming laptops/pc hardware!
Thanks, happy new year to you too! I'm on the way to CES for a week so I'll see what I can manage when I get home if time permits
2020 is finally here can't wait to see what laptops come out or what laptops are gonna get updated with 10th gen H and K CPUS
I'm only waiting toosee what clevo will release to succeed these models:
N350TW -94Wh battery
N970TF/N960TF/N950TF
P751TM/P750TM/P775TM/P870TM
Wait til 2nd half of 2020 when we get the new GPUs. 10th gen intel isn't worth upgrading to nor worth buying.
I'm commenting from my 14 hour plane trip to CES so we'll see soon!
Is *Acer Predator Helios 300* I7 9750H and GTX 1660ti a future proof laptop? I mean can i play all games at low medium settings till 2025? Anyway a happy new year Jarrod.
Nothing is future proof, but for the money you can pay today I'd expect it to hold up well. 2025 is quite a long way off, I suspect by then you'd want an upgrade for modern games, but who knows.
I feel like only the 1660 ti has to go to past that long
Thank you for including Video Export on your video. This is helpful for a gamer/content creator like me. By the way, how many minutes is the 4k video? Can you also put the minutes. It's hard to compute lol
It's my dell xps 15 review I put up on the channel recently.
Awesome review, thank you, special thanks as always for AUD pricing.
I decided to cough up the extra and went the touch 4K, absolutely loving it. Best laptop I’ve owned, I know there are better however for ease of travelling whilst away from my desktop 9900K, it’s perfect.
Nice, that's awesome to hear!
Great review. You think you can try the Prestige 14 and see how it compares to this vs the 15.6 inch version? It seems like the Prestige 14 is the only competitor to the Razer Blade at least in terms of specs in a compact laptop.
Thanks, yes I have it at home and it will be my priority once I return in a week from CES.
@@JarrodsTech Awesome thanks. A couple of CPU and GPU benchmarks with undervolted CPU would be awesome too.
Despite the worse thermals, after liquid metal repaste + undervolting, a guy on reddit had cinebench scores pretty close to your undervolted 15'6 bench, so I'm curious how no repaste affects the results. Assuming that you don't repaste, of course.
Know that the European version of this laptop has a full size enter key ❤
I have this laptop. Most games runs in 900p 60fps with high settings x2 AA. With this smal screen 900p is more then enough for me. 1080p will go high settings if shadows are on normal in most games with no AA runs 60fps. Best LAPTOP i ever owned.
Nice good to hear that!
Thanks for the in-depth review, I appreciate the efforts! Also, this is the first video I've seen mentioning that turning off the GPU _does_ affect CPU performance - that's something I was wondering about, myself.
Cheers, no problem! Yeah I got a tip about that from a commenter on another video before I got it for review, so definitely wanted to check that out!
Owner Review:
Stealth 1650gtx + Razer Core X Chroma.
I have returned the Core X Chroma due to USB disconnections and continual restart to connect display issues. The currently available drivers (DEC19) were not able to address the issues. The undersize shift key on the right side is a damn nuisance for me personally and may impact other typists or programmers.
With that said I'm enjoying the hell out of my 1650 model and is a perfect balance of portability, battery life, and power. Note: The charger is larger than I expected for a laptop this size.
The 15.6" MSI GS65 & GB Aero OLED15 are valid albeit larger alternatives. They present a cheaper + more powerfull package with better connectivity and comparable battery life. The weight of these devices is at least 50% more brick included.
If you have a decent desktop but want the flexibility for LAN parties I recommend the 13"1650. If this is your only computer look elsewhere as power has its limits and upgrades are limited for this device.
Example: Razer forums suggest replacement of the 512gb m.2 for more storage will void the warranty. New Games CODMW are 165GB.
Retail price is significant so getting this on discount was essential to justify my purchase. I have a poorish experience with razer peripherals so my purchase included an additional warranty for 3Years. Price AUD2624.
Hope this helps :)
Had no idea about the 25W CPU bump when disabling GPU amazing info thanks look foward to testing.
Thanks for sharing your experience with it! I haven't had a chance to do any core testing with this model unfortunately 😢
Wow, how did you get it at that price?
Happy 2020 to you Jarrod. I would love for you to test an external GPU with this laptop. Your videos rock too much not to imo 😂
Happy new year to you too! I'll see what I can do in a week when I return from CES
Please look into all the battery issues that razer refuses to deal with. All reviewers including you are always positive about these machines (logically, because short term such issues dont pop up) in the end marketing these machines. But a large chunk of customers have laptops failing just after a year mark thanks to their very very low quality batteries made by BYD (no others laptop manufacturer makes use of these) and no major party calls them out .The user base is too small as well (they sell about 55000 Stealths a year only and the 17 pro 2017 didnt even break the 1000 mark). It would help to have a major reviewer looking into these issues. Also happy 2020!
I get to these out for two weeks at a time before sending them back, long term testing is not something I currently have the capability of doing. Larger channels would as they seem to keep them. Unfortunate but there the way it goes. Happy new year to you too!
@@JarrodsTech unfortunately they arent really forthcoming when it coems to pointing out flaws. Reddit is filled with these issues and about 25 cases a month are registered with batteries that start to bloat after a mere year of use. To put it in perspective they only sell about 55000 units a year of the Stealth series. So their sales number arent that great either. So the issues are quite widespread.
Happy new year! Hope to see new videos. With this thin design nowonder it get such a high price
Happy new year to you too 🥳
Love the 4K. Battrey life is excellent, 8+ hours. Menu icons are very small on Adobe Photoshop and 6D embroidery design software, but I have which of these small menu items memorized from decades of use. Increasing images for editing in both software programs is very doable. No problems so far. Sound quality from keyboard speakers is very good, as I watched some basketball games as I sewed. Razer Stealth 13 inch is well built, like my mini Razer Advanced 15 inch model. Heavy enough and still new enough to carry between rooms with both hands. Mercury white , I believe, has only 256 GB SSD, I opted for 512 GB SSD to house all my files on each Razer laptop and also all files backed up on OneDrive. I read that the Mercury White model has 1080 resolution which is supposed be fine for gaming and was on sale for about $1500. Go for it.
Cool thanks for sharing your experience with it 👍
@TheAllstarProStar Haven't used this laptop for extended period since last month's post. Will try to replicate and advise later. Describe your use case, please.
Great review ! And yes would like to see a similar in depth review about the egpu setup :D
Thanks!
Happy New year 🎉 Jarrod. Best of luck for your RUclips journey
Thanks! Happy new year to you too 🥳
Happy New Year Jarrod !!! :D
Happy new year to you too 🥳
glad u did the research :) love the vids, and i did notice it from ur video that the gpu can actually disabled through the bios :D
Thanks!
Wow! Amazing review! Would it be possible for you to review the Razer Blade 15 RTX 2060?
Thanks! Depends entirely on what razer send but doubt it will happen, from their perspective I've already reviewed the current gen blade.
Hi! Appreciate your reviews thoroughly.
With this having dropped to $1500 and for someone that: predominantly plays Overwatch (amongst other Blizzard titles that aren’t graphically demanding), and that appreciates the small form factor, would you recommend this laptop?
Is the 60hz screen a dealbreaker?
Is gaming on a 13 in screen regrettable?
Also, would you be concerned about Razer refreshing their 13 inch line anytime soon?
I also have my eye on the MAG-15 but that’s a whole different class of laptops, considering screen size and portability.
If you really need the smaller form factor and don't mind paying more, yes, but you can get a more powerful 15" with high refresh rate which will be a nicer experience for that money, so comes down to how much you want the higher refresh rate. Given this has 10th gen already I can't imagine they would refresh it soon, there are new Nvidia graphics next month but I'm not aware what options they will have.
Jarrod'sTech Thanks so much! Appreciate you taking time out of your day to reply. Much appreciated.
Hey Jarrod,
Great review. I couldn't find these displayed anywhere in Melbourne. Thinking of buying through Razer's website just based on your review. A few things if you don't mind answering:
This laptop comes with a 100w adapter, will it be enough to power a monitor? Even when the adapter is not attached?
Speaking of monitors, if the laptop has 60hz refresh rate, can I attach a 144hz monitor to it via TB and play games on 144hz on the monitor?
And finally, could this be a good day-to-day laptop? Given that this has lower powered cpu. Also would you consider switching to this as your main laptop even when you're travelling?
Hope you could answer and make it easier for me.
Thanks :)
Thanks! I've heard people suggest buying through the Microsoft store, apparently better support? But not sure never tried either myself. I don't actually know, think it's just display out, would still need to power the monitor with its own power source? Or is this some monitor that gets powered over Type-C? In any case not sure, have never had one like that to test with. Yes you can play games on an external monitor with higher refresh rate, just don't expect much better performance with the 1650 Max-Q. I think it would be good for those tasks if you travel a lot and wand some level of power. Personally though, I need to edit a lot of 4K video so I'd have no issue spending similar money on a much more powerful 15" laptop that's not too much bigger. That said I do also have a 12.5" Xiaomi Air for quick trips.
I can't do 13 inch I barely like 15.6 I prefer 17.3 good video as always. Happy New Year.
Fair enough! Thanks happy new year to you too 🥳
Happy new year, hope 2020 will be a great year!
Thanks! Same to you!
In my opinion, fps is very important. And looking at the ASUS tuf laptops I personally think it’s a steal with 120 hertz. And seeing this thing with only 60 is crazy to me for the price
I agree. Too expensive for 60 Hz
13 inch high refresh doesn't really seem to exist, plus given the specs you would hardly utilise it outside eSports games anyways
I’m probably late, but would you recommend this over a 15” ROG laptop with the same spec?
happy new year jarrod and community! keep the great work! i see the notebooks on other places on internet and search on your channel to view a quality and complete review!
Cheers! Happy new year to you too 🥳
Great review. I’m still enjoying my Alienware 13r3 with gtx 1060.
Thanks! Nice 👍👍
Great review and happy new year 🙏🏼❤️
Thanks! Happy new year to you too 🥳
Hey Jarrod. In your opinion, which one between Razer Stealth 13 and MSI Prestide 15 (both with i7 and GTX1650) is better for content creators? I'm in Australia and I need to decide between one of the two. Thanks
Prestige will smash it much better CPU performance and more cores, depends how big of a deal the extra size is
Thanks Jarrod'sTech
I subscribed to your channel a while back. And I'm interested in the eGPU reviews. Notebookcheck already did one with the Aorus Gaming Box with the RTX 2070. It has better performance than the GTX 10 series cards with eGPU, but still can only game at High settings. So I'm willing to bet that Thunderbolt 3 + eGPU will probably work best with the RTX 30 series cards.
In terms of this, impressive performance for a 13" ultrabook. If only they made it slightly bigger for expandable RAM, it would be perfect.
I'll see what I can do after I return from CES week
Hi Jared. I’m in Australia too and looking for a 13” I can travel and game on. My Dell 7300 isn’t cutting it. Would you recommend this or wait for the Zephyrus G14 and wear the extra inch?
Happy New Year !
Firstly, you are doing great videos. I just find your channel, and watched most of your works. Anyway, I am looking for a middle class gaming laptop like gtx 1650. And I stuck with MSI, Asus, and Dell. I found some videos about Asus fx505 dt and DU version in your channel but I could not find any good videos about MSI GL65-9SC neither on your channel nor all the youtube. So, I was wondering that, could you able to do review Msı GL65, please ?
Thanks! It's really hard for me to answer as I haven't tested all that many with the 1650 to fairly compare. I've been trying to get GL laptops from MSI for months, they finally sent the GL75 so hopefully the 15 inch versions happen too, would be a while away though as I'm currently on a plane to CES for a week
Jarrod'sTech I get it. And what do you think about Asus Rog strix series ? I also find Asus Rog Strix G g531GT model. It has gtx 1650 again :). Probably, I’m going to buy it because it has a discount right now. But I would like to hear what you think about it. (I know I’m asking a lot, I’m sorry 😐 )
What's the smaller 12.5" laptop that you use for travel and used for size comparison?
Well done man👍
Cheers!
I love my mx250 stealth, the GTX1650 upgrade will make it an even better laptop for me!
Yeah big jump there 👍
Can you please do multiple tests with the External Enclosure, I am very interested to see the differences between Native (CPU based) Thunderbolt 3 PCIE lanes and non-native PCH Thunderbolt 3 PCIE lanes.
Also EGPU testing with an External Monitor and with the built in Monitor during each type of test.
With and without iGPU and/or 1650 disabled in Device manager
Maybe go with an RTX 2060 Super for eGPU.
If you're really into it, maybe compare with Aorus and ROG EGPU's, Although hard to match CPU's, the proprietary Direct hardware connection (4 CPU lanes) EGPU by Alienware.
I expect around double the FPS using the CPU directly for PCIE lanes.
I'd love to but please realise what you're requesting is multiple days of my life and I'm currently away for a week for CES.
Great video, as usual Jarrod.
Would love to see the benchmarks with an external GPU tested with the built-in display and an external monitor. Also with the CPU at 15 and 25 watts. Can't find this done anywhere and the only reason I'm looking at one.
Cheers buddy
may as well buy a desktop, thats pretty much the same setup as what you suggest. eGPUs are just entirely not practical
@@bradhaines3142 I get your point, but an ultrabook is a must have. And if there's a way to not have 2 setups, that'd be ideal.
It would be nice to walk in, plug in the laptop and get close-to desktop performance out of a GPU then I'm a happy camper.
Thanks, I'll see if time permits after CES week.
Hey jarrod,
The price of this stealth and 15inch 2018 1070 version are the same in where i live. Have a hard time deciding which one to get, need expert opinion
Wait, the power limit changes when the 1650 is disabled? This is huge for eGPU performance. I haven't seen ANYONE mention that yet. Have you been able to test that yet?
Have I been able to test egpu? No not yet, I'm on a plane to CES for a week, might do it after if there's time.
The MX150 is arguably the better option. The 1650 will drain the battery faster all the time for the odd time you actually need to use it, and 4K is just overkill.
Razer, if you’re listening - *drop down to 1440 or 1600p*. If you switched to a 16:10 screen ratio too you’d have a genuine Mac killer on your hands. It’s almost there.
My next laptop will be a 13" or 14" that has at minimum a 2060 or 1660ti. Hope to see one this year. Currently on the15 inch Zephyrus S GX531 and it's OK, but I miss my 14 inch GS43VR. It had the 1060 in it, but it realy was a nice little laptop. It wasn't really well designed, and I had a battery on it nearly explode (swelled up and blew the keyboard upward) by running it in desktop config for a couple of weeks with poor airflow over the keyboard, which is why I think they haven't tried to shove high powered GPUs into the 13" and 14" designs since then. I hope that they can do it right this year, at least one of them.
Hopefully they make something like that for you, not currently aware of any 14" with a 1660 Ti
This video awesome! Please do a video with an external GPU. Is it bad to disable the GTX graphics?
Disabling is fine, gives more power to the CPU if you don't need the GPU
That 4 core cpu pains me, and the lack of a high refresh rate display too.
Great review! Subscribed :)
Thanks! Welcome to the channel!
Happy New Year to everyone 🥳
Happy new year to you too!
Jarrod'sTech you da best of the best of the best!
As somebody that is entertaining the idea of replacing a desktop with a laptop and egpu, I would love to see some reliable benchmark numbers on this config
I'll see what I can do after CES
Love your review!! Could you please do a egpu review as well? I wonder what’s gonna happen if you pair it with an AMD card.
Thanks, I'll see what I can do after CES week.
How csn you not review macbooks this year if the razer blade advanced is $2400 when the macbook pro 16 is $2400
I wish for H-series CPU and GTX1650 at only 14 inch. It's been a while since there's a portable yet powerful laptop that you can lug around.
I guess too small for proper cooling
@@JarrodsTech Rather have a thicc boii than a slim design. Like the Alienware 13 R3.
I have the one with intel graphics...will it be as good or is there a huge difference?
May I ask what you used to undervolt the cpu? Tried installing Intels XTU however Icelake is not supported. Did you use the workaround to force install or did you use something else, like Throttlestop?
I use throttlestop when xtu isn't supported, which seems to be the case with the U series CPUs.
Were all your game tests done with the laptop on battery or with the laptop plugged in?
Plugged in, battery would be terrible
Thanks for the vid bro! Happy New Year!
Happy new year to you too!
Jarrod, what's your opinion on the legion y740, 17.3 inch with a 2080 Max Q for? 2.3k and should I buy it?
Seems decent if you want Gsync but don't want to pay quite as much as other options
@@JarrodsTech thanks
Hi Jared, please review with eGPU on. I'm thinking whether it's worth to get a eGPU since I already have this system.
Thank you! and Happy New Year
I'll see what I can do in a week when I return from CES
@@JarrodsTech bump hehe
I want a computer that is small to take everywhere, I am looking at the Razer Blade Stealth 1650 Ti and the Asus Rog G14 which you think is better, since you have the RAZER BLADE STEALTH it is of good quality never gave you problems many comments come out negatives about Razer laptops
Hey Bro, can you review a certain laptop?
It is the Asus Zenbook 15 UX534FTC. It is a laptop I am thinking of getting and I would like to see how well it performs as well as if it can run games.
If you could that would be amazing.
Depends what Asus have available, haven't currently been offered that one so far I'm afraid but we'll see
Jarrod, you may like giving a look to the Lenovo Ideapad Flex 14 or C340 with the Ryzen 3700u. You can boost the power limit of the processor to 35W with Ryzen Controller and it's basically a MX250 on-board graphics . Caviat is that the 3700u version comes with 8GB of ram (6 only available to the CPU) , but it is possible to upgrade to 12 or 20GB (The 3500u version is 12GB while there's a 20GB version with the 3700u, but it's too expensive).
Cool, I'll keep it in mind if Lenovo offer it, but they don't send me much yet unfortunately
@@JarrodsTech Sad to hear, gues that if you're attending CES you will have to show them your silver play button 😁
You said this has latency issues, do you think this laptop is capable as an audio production laptop? Can I record via extrrnal output or is that not recommended?
Honestly, I cannot say. I have no experience testing latencymon on desktops so don't really know the difference. Additionally, all I'm doing is running latencymon at the request of people that find this information useful, I have no personal experience with audio production so I can't really say, sorry.
@@JarrodsTech cheers mate
Can you charge this laptop with 65W charger so it's smaller in size?
There is 1650 ti version also just came out, could u review that please and compare that with Asus G14
Thx for the video ❤️❤️
No problem 💜
Max fan on this machine is insane
Right Shift: "Hey , I'm important"
Left shift: "Who are you, man?"
😎
very interesting to see this in a small 13" case
Probably in a few months or a year and the next gen Intels, with a decent iGPU, its time to replace my 2010 MacBook Pro 15" with such a nice thing, hopefully with OLED screens then
How about the keyboard on the Razer Notebooks? Thats one of the top reasons i still use my 2010 MBP, superb keyboard and touchpad, nothing else was ever comparable.
Hmm it's ok but the key presses are a bit shallow, I don't mind much but some people don't like it
Great video, I would really like to see how the Razer core works out with this model and a 2080ti or something.
2080ti is too much for any eGPU. tb3 just cant do that much bandwidth, honestly anything above a 1060 6gb gets bottlenecked, so if what you have is above that its worthless.
and at prices of eGPUs, just buy a goddam desktop
Does it really require you to curse? People have their reasons and needs that are different than others. Desktop performance at home and pack up the laptop for travel... the whole point of a eGPU.. Grow up...
I'll see if I can do some testing with it after I get back from CES week.
When will the Asus Zephyrus S vs Asus Scar 3 comparison be released? Can't wait!!
It's up now! I'm late in replying 😓
@@JarrodsTech No worries! Thanks for the comparison
720p wouldn't be bad at this size. Keep it cool.
Yeah true.
I think because the blade 15 and the blade pro 17's fan isnt connected to the heatsink thats why its so cool
hey jarrod would it be possible to see the video you hinted at twelve min. thirty with this pc and not the lower power graphics card? i like to compare it to the XPS when used in conjunction Smith an EGPU....thanks a lot
Unfortunately I didn't have time to get the testing done to the degree I wanted before needing to return the machine :( sorry. I will have more eGPU testing soon.
@@JarrodsTech Oww thats a shame, well then ill sub and hope to see it soon. By the way I must just say that your videos are some of the most detailed and comprehensive videos I’ve ever seen. Awesome content
@@JarrodsTech well thats a shame. Can't wait to se the GPU test. thanks a lot and good luck. Really love your videos
Acer Predator helios 300 rtx 2060 or Asus zephyrus gx501G which one should I buy?
What specs? If same then depends if you want to pay more for thinner Zephyrus / if you want to undervolt manually yourself as the Helios does that by default
Now this is a laptop. It may actually pull me into the market. It seems if I really want a 144hz 13 inch I may be waiting a bit. I feel like a dying breed liking small laptops. (that can game at least)
Can the m.2 be changed/expanded?
m.2 is the connector, if thats there it can be replaced. otherwise it's soldered
Can see the storage when I open it up, yeah not sure if high refresh 13" will happen 🤔
Hey mate happy new year
i would ask you if you recommend this laptop please?
ASUS G731GW-H6278 Intel Core i7 9750H 2600 MHz/17.3"/1920x1080/16GB/1512GB SSD/NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070/Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/ (90NR01Q1-M06010)
Sounds like a beast but probably expensive af right ?
@@ElementlSynd well yeah but the problem i didn't find any review about it
Haven't had a chance to test but it's just the 17 inch of the scar iii I already looked at? Think that just gives it numpad and extra heatpipe
Would it be dumb to use this laptop as an everyday school laptop too?
Sounds fine if you need something portable and lightweight but still want some GPU power when not at home.
Yes! Please do a egpu video on Razer Blade Stealth.
I'll see what I can do after CES week
Just picked up used for $420. Hope it’ll be worth it.
Bro nice video.
Could you review the Alienwear m15 r2 and the 17 one to see what difference there is between the two.
Thanks. I've tried to get those for 7 months but they won't send them.
is there an 13" alternative to this? the price is crazy
Not that I've seen so far. This is the only 13" with discrete Nvidia GPU I've seen above MX level.
how do you test every laptop for the gaming fps test? even if you just copy files its time consuming!
really need to know?
thanks
I copy all the games from my Nas over the network to the laptop, delete after each game copy next etc. Yes it takes a while, I work on other videos while other machines copy.
Hey there, i need advice. For hardcore gaming + streaming usage, which one do you recommend HP Pavilion Gaming 15 ( i7-9750H - GTX 1650 ) or MSI Alpha 15 ( Ryzen 7 - 3750H + RX 5500M ) ??
PC
1650 seems hard to justify when the 1660 Ti is about 50% better for often not too much more money. The i7 dominates the 3750h, but the 5500m does best the 1650. In the end depends on the games you're playing ideally I wouldn't pick between either, an i5 and 1660Ti would be best if both worlds
@@JarrodsTech you mean like i5- 9300H and gtx 1660 ti like Legion Y540?
@@JUNI_JOO yes.
@@JarrodsTech alright, Thanks for the advice👍🏼
Razer needs to knock it off with that right shift key. Touch typists everywhere shudder at the prospect of trying to use it and screwing up their work.

rate this laptop in your opition and can you edit your work video on this laptop ? thank you for the video
Hmm, you should be able to do it alright yeah, might need to transcode 4K to 720p proxies (heck I do that on my Threadripper workstation too for Premiere).
can you do a review on the Razer blade 15 gtx 1660ti with 144Hz please thank you !
