its kind of hard to call this overpriced when the specific components that actually get made for 13" gaming laptops are hella expensive. screens and whatnot. mainly cause razor are the only ones brave/stupid enough to do it. still the most powerful 13"laptop in the market tho.
Very good unboxing and initial review, Dad. Always impressive when a RUclips reviewer comes out of pocket for the product they are reviewing. It would be helpful to hear that at the beginning of each review. I am getting very tired and suspicious of sponsored videos. Great to see someone more concerned about productivity than playing games. Give me a great screen, great audio, excellent graphics, and at this price point, in 2020, that is the baseline for manufacturers. Still need 17'' plus, with older eyes and poorer hearing folks. Best wishes to the new laptop. Stay safe.
Am I the only one who misses the lit razer logo? I think they should've added an option to turn it off or made it rgb rather than removing it completely.
It's insane how few videos there are on the newest Razer laptops, and I'd love to see an apples to Apple comparison with each similarly priced model from both Razer's and Apple's lineup, as I strongly dislike everything about my MacBook Air and I'm happy to see that there's an almost Apple-like build quality Windows laptop manufacturer. At the very least, I'd like to see Apple's highest performing laptop and Razer's highest performing (probably the 15" option, or the bigger if the performance differs that greatly from 15" to 17") laptop go head to head, so long as they're near the same price. Not sure if I'm barking up the wrong tree or if I should go pester somebody else about it, but if you're up to that I'd love to see it happen.
You can right-click on the taskbar, open Task Manager, click "more details", then go to the performance tab to check your specs and resource usage :> That way you don't have to dig through Windows' settings menu for system info :>
I'm sure you've figured it out by this point, but the RAM on the stealth is soldered to the motherboard. Non-upgradable, only the storage can be swapped out :/
that big one piece is what they call vapor champer, like a thich heatpipe with more surface area. the ram is soldered on the mobo and its cooled together with the cpu, graphics and chipset under that big thick one piece xd. its a tradeoff but its smaller to solder the ram into the mobo than to have phisycal sticks with conectors and an extra layer added of thickness being that the extra pcb where ram sticks solder their ram modules. thats pretty much the reason why razer went not much upgradability on the stealth line up
wow finally something that is not an Apple product . it has been a while that we only have seen apple unboxing and review here. ok they are good compare to their previous generations . but please do review other brands too .
Unfortunately, the RAM on most 13-inch windows laptops is soldered in place and non-upgradeable, including the Razer Stealth 13. To save space, they don't position the RAM DIMMs in a user-accessible location
Considering it’s a similar size and weight to the Book, the MacBook Pro 13 and XPS 13 I’d love to see a comparison between gaming ultra books like this or the G14 vs the premium ultra books for video and photo work
been looking at the razer blade stealth for a while, don't have room for my own pc and I've saved up just enough to get a laptop on black friday/cyber monday. can't wait for more vids!!
Nice review Gary. In reference to Apple products, I'm not there yet. I purchased an iPhone 12 mini in the voice recognition was absolutely horrendous. I have an Android phone. Google Pixel 3a images works and works in works. I've always been intrigued by the razor blade stealth.
I’m between this one and the new Razer Book 13. What do you think TB4 outperform TB3 with an eGPU. I know the speed it’s the same 40gb but with more PCI lines so can help in the bandwidth between the external card and the CPU. What do you think about that. Nice video by the way
Woke up one morning, sat at my razer blade stealth 13 and boom the screen has completely dead. Never once dropped it. 🤷🏾♂️. I'm shipping it back to Razer for repair today and when I get it back I'm selling it and buying a zephyrus. Slightly disappointed in Razer as this is my second razer device I have to send in for in warranty repair. There won't be a third.
@@MaximumBets Amazon page says available on 27 Nov. I think you can pre-order one right now. I am buying a MacBook Air though, seems much better deal for me since I have a PC too.
@@animeshmeshram5997 I’ve been using Macs exclusively for the past 14 years for development and they’ve been great but limitation of 1 external monitor with the M1 was a deal breaker for me. I currently use a 2018 MacBook 15 but I’ve finally had it with the crap keyboard. I’ll miss having 32gb ram but won’t miss the huge bezels and terrible typing experience. I hope I don’t regret going back to Windows lol. People say they have gotten their act together in the last decade so we’ll see. I’m waiting for Best Buy to go it so I can get the warranty just in case something happens.
@@itstruethough604 I'm using an XPS 13 9360 rn. The bezels on this laptop are thinner than the razer and it still bothers me. Especially the bottom chin.
Many GAMERS are Saying That Air 4 is not optimized.....There Are A Lot Of FPS drops........ Can You Test The Gaming Performance of Air 4 and Make A Video?
RAM is not upgradeable. Soldered onto the motherboard. I have the previous model, early 2020, and upgraded the M.2 SSD to a 2TB. Physically, super easy, but had to jump through a bunch of cloning and partitioning shenanigans!
Thanks for the video. I have a blade 15 (2018) version which is great but I’m interested in this one. I am waiting for a GPU stronger than a 1650Ti though.
I wish they would do it with a 16 : 10 screen ratio. Not a fan of the big black bezel at the bottom. The Razer Book 13 looks amazing, but specs are meehh
Is it worth buying this laptop during black friday sales time or waiting till the new macs or stealth 2021s to release?( if you want a productivity and gaming laptop)
When you do a review for this laptop, will you test for ghosting? The previous model's screen had a response time of about 29ms, I'm wondering if they fixed it with this model or used the exact same panel.
The sad thing about everything is that I have to pay more than $4,000 just so I can have one of these in my country... it’s pretty sad for me, god I feel so fucking bad
DAD :"im not one of those people who say matt black everything'
MKBHD: hmmm
i was looking for this comment
What is that background windows 10 big sur.
One day they’ll be the everyday grandpa
It’s called pevver.!
Lol
7:26 I can't hear them over the sound of my own computer lol.
Super fans 🤣
16gb on the low end??
I always thought 4 minimum, 8 average, 16 gaming, 32 and up for workstation video editing etc.
at this point 8gb is minimum, 16 is average. and 32 is for gaming... some games are using up words of 12gb of ram....
its kind of hard to call this overpriced when the specific components that actually get made for 13" gaming laptops are hella expensive. screens and whatnot. mainly cause razor are the only ones brave/stupid enough to do it. still the most powerful 13"laptop in the market tho.

if you like matt black, you're not boring, just too cool AF
ram memory probably soldered.
i want to razer to put in amd ryzen processors to their line up.
then what with all Razer Core e-GPU, thunderbolt dependent, products?... Not seeing it any sooner
Mobile ryzen aint it yet like 2 years i guess untill its like desktop ryzen
It made me really happy when you were fascinated with the box. It feels good to know I'm not the only weirdo who loves packaging!
The stealth RAM is soldered, unlike the 15”.

the razer book 13 is coming out lol, smaller than the stealth targeted towards productivity
If you’ve watched any review on it, It sucks in terms of what you get in it.
Because it’s targeted towards the MacBook Air crowd. More for college students ect.
@@boyankukov8402 but it is more like a competitor for MacBooks and DELL XPS 13 so it is really great

Please review the razer book 13 when it's released
Ram is soldered as far as I know
They need to make the 17" in mercury white color with white logo backlight option
Yeah that would be awesome
Unfortunately, the RAM on most 13-inch windows laptops is soldered in place and non-upgradeable, including the Razer Stealth 13. To save space, they don't position the RAM DIMMs in a user-accessible location
You make reviews so relatable..... we can surely figure it out.
Well thanks so much!
Long term review (in the future) please!
Considering it’s a similar size and weight to the Book, the MacBook Pro 13 and XPS 13 I’d love to see a comparison between gaming ultra books like this or the G14 vs the premium ultra books for video and photo work
Lol he was searching for the RAM modules under the battery!
Everyday dad jokes
The ones I’m best at. 👍
What a giant power brick!!
We want everyday dad merch!

I dont know, I haven’t had a chance to try it out, hopefully there will be marked improvements with TB4.
you need to double box lithium ion batteries above a certain size
nice gary! looks like it'll be a good addition to your work flow
I think you should give an intro after you say "let's find out" :)
Who else is anxious bout the way he slams the packaging against the desk every ten seconds?
You should check out the Razer Book
Interesting how the thumbnail has a green logo and the actual laptop doesn't. Weird huh
You are smart...making a video about a razer but not the laptop we were expecting, thats how you cheat the algorithm

The Asus G14 with 4900HS is a better choice in every way
Thumbs-up for the sound effect 🤭🤭🤭🤭
How long til we get the full review? I’m looking to take the bait on this bad boy, but I’ll wait to see your review.
I still love my 13" Quartz edition. 💜💜💜
Dude, check out *Razer Book 13* which will go on sale on Amazon after 27 Nov, definitely better for productivity.
and cheaper!
@@mawdervaart nvm, macbook seems better lol
Where did you hear that it will go to Amazon after the 27th? I wonder if it’ll go to Best Buy also.

can you have 2 HDDs or a full size 2.5" HDD? how much does the fan run and how hot is it?
The eye sees, the soul craves, and the heart ache
Great video please test how it performs in davinci resolve.
still 4cores/ 8 threads? ... G14 anyone?
We are waiting for 12 mini accessories
I also like thin portable machines......
I was really considering getting this until I saw the screen turn on. Nothing wrong with the screen...its just that the bezels take me back to 2015
What?? The bezels are absolutely fine...
the bezels are perfectly fine, you just didn't watch the video long enough.
@@itstruethough604 I'm using an XPS 13 9360 rn. The bezels on this laptop are thinner than the razer and it still bothers me. Especially the bottom chin.
Yes mom. I want this for my google class to complete homework
Can you compare the dell xps 13 and this laptop. Or just tell me which you prefer cuz im trying to choose between the two. Thanks!
Same! Which one are you leaning towards?
When is the review coming for the razer Blade 13
You can’t upgrade the ram is solder into the motherboard
Waiting for the new Blade 15 with 3080
Many GAMERS are Saying That Air 4 is not optimized.....There Are A Lot Of FPS drops........ Can You Test The Gaming Performance of Air 4 and Make A Video?
I wish they'd update the design to be more like the Razer book. Those bezels are SO MUCH better.
this is for gaming so 16/9 is the aspect ratio they need
Yeah I’d like an updated display, I really like what dell’s done with the XPS line.
Was excited for razer book thank you for this video
RAM is not upgradeable. Soldered onto the motherboard. I have the previous model, early 2020, and upgraded the M.2 SSD to a 2TB. Physically, super easy, but had to jump through a bunch of cloning and partitioning shenanigans!
Omg!! Congrats on being verified!!!
Oké, how does this hold is own against m1 MB air or Pro? Would be nice to have a “showdown”. Is the Mac a serious gaming contender now 😬
A direct comparison with razer book would be great.
Thanks for the video. I have a blade 15 (2018) version which is great but I’m interested in this one. I am waiting for a GPU stronger than a 1650Ti though.
I’m looking forward to the Razor Book 13. Hopefully someone reviews it soon.
You should do a review of the 2020 Acer predator Helios 300
Great job keep it up
Thanks!
Why did you add a fake green logo onto the Stealth in the thumbnail when the actual Stealth has a black logo?
Your camera or light have some issue. When you show things from top it did not give complete view of the laptop.
I wish they would do it with a 16 : 10 screen ratio. Not a fan of the big black bezel at the bottom. The Razer Book 13 looks amazing, but specs are meehh
great review!
Is it worth buying this laptop during black friday sales time or waiting till the new macs or stealth 2021s to release?( if you want a productivity and gaming laptop)
Try to install Arch Linux on this system
And creat video for setup egpu on this sys
👌👌👌👌
I have Acer Nitro 5 that I got in August. Still great in 2020.
I upgraded the M2 from 256 GB to 2 TB. (last year)
was a cool box
I think your top view camera need a zoom in. Thanks
When you do a review for this laptop, will you test for ghosting? The previous model's screen had a response time of about 29ms, I'm wondering if they fixed it with this model or used the exact same panel.
if i can figure it out, u can figure it out
Every day dad : not matte black everything....
Mkbhd: no, that's illegal !!!
The sad thing about everything is that I have to pay more than $4,000 just so I can have one of these in my country... it’s pretty sad for me, god I feel so fucking bad
Where are the other promised videos about the razer 15?
I believe the ram is soldered so not upgradable.
Razer book 13???
Agreed Pc can do more but speed is a questionable
For a little laptop this should be pretty fast, but I’ll check it out soon.
@@TheEverydayDad I checked the price is wow almost double as 17" laptop ..
Can you please make a video of the Omen 15? (preferably the base model w/i5)
Class as always
For $1800 I’m gonna keep waiting. That’s crazy for a laptop!
Black Friday
Where do you find it cheaper than $1800?
You can get the 10th gen model with same 1650ti graphics card for $1300
First time viewer and I already like u
God please give the opportunity to Buy this Laptop, Amén.
The ram is Soldered on
Hey The Everyday Dad, went don't you try some laptops with AMD Processors like the Asus Zephyrus g14 ?
how do you think the stealth 13 120hz would run overwatch 2?
After watching this i went to razers web site. and there is only upgrades for the display why razer
how do u even not immediately open that? I even here triggered cause i cant open that laptop
can't you like giveaway one of your old razor blade laptop?
You can't upgrade the RAM. It's on the motherboard
